Plain-English summary
Using Amazon's services comes with significant risks. Amazon can refuse service, terminate accounts, or cancel orders at its sole discretion (risk_flags-1). Additionally, users waive their right to a jury trial for disputes (risk_flags-2) and Amazon disclaims liability for damages or for its services being free of viruses (risk_flags-3, risk_flags-4). When you post content, you grant Amazon a perpetual and broadly usable license (data_use-1) and you must indemnify Amazon for any claims resulting from content you provide (data_use-2). Unexpected charges may occur if your primary payment method fails, as Amazon may charge any other valid payment method on file (gotchas-1). Amazon also does not guarantee the accuracy of product descriptions (gotchas-2).
