These AmazonSmile Programme Policies ("Policies”)
are part of the Operational Documentation incorporated into the Participation
Agreement
that governs your participation in the Programme, and capitalised terms used in
these Policies and not otherwise defined here will have the definitions
provided there. These Policies describe requirements and restrictions
applicable to you as a Programme participant.
We reserve the right to modify these Policies
at any time and in our sole discretion as set forth in Section 9 of the Participation
Agreement.
A. Advertising AmazonSmile
- You may not promote or link to the
AmazonSmile Site in a way that is misleading or confusing to customers or
that does not accurately represent the AmazonSmile Site or the Programme
(for example, by expressing or implying that we have entered into a
partnership with you, that we sponsor or endorse you or any other cause or
that we support your position on any issue).
- You will not bid on or purchase
keywords, search terms, or other identifiers (including any trade mark of
Amazon or its affiliates or variations or misspellings thereof) or
otherwise participate in keyword auctions on any search engine, portal, or
other search or referral service, directly or indirectly, in order to
drive traffic to the AmazonSmile Site (including by including a link that
sends users directly or indirectly to the AmazonSmile Site in any such
ad).
B. Interaction with AmazonSmile Site and
Amazon Customers
- You will not request, collect,
obtain, store, cache, or otherwise use any account information used by our
customers in connection with the AmazonSmile Site (including any usernames
or passwords of AmazonSmile Site customers).
- You will not modify, redirect,
suppress, or substitute the operation of any button, link, or other
feature of the AmazonSmile Site.
- You will not take any action that
could reasonably cause any customer confusion as to our relationship with
you, or as to the site on which any functions or transactions (for
example, search, browse, or order) are occurring.
- Customers who buy products on the
AmazonSmile Site are customers of Amazon or its affiliates with respect to
all activities they undertake in connection with the AmazonSmile Site, and
you acknowledge and agree that you are not entitled to receive any
customer information. Orders for Products placed by customers on the
AmazonSmile Site may be rejected for any reason and rejected orders will
not be eligible for donations. You will not handle or address any contacts
with any of our customers, and, if contacted by any of our customers for a
matter relating to interaction with the AmazonSmile Site, you will state
that those customers must follow contact directions on the AmazonSmile
Site to address customer service issues.
C. Unacceptable Practices
- You will not include on your Site,
display, or otherwise use Links or Content in connection with any spyware,
malware, virus, worm, Trojan horse, or other malicious or harmful code, or
any software application not expressly and knowingly authorised by users
prior to being downloaded or installed on their computer or other
electronic device.
- You will not use Content or Links on,
or link to the AmazonSmile Site from, any application (for example, a
software component, toolbar, or plug-in), or use any such application to
artificially increase Qualifying Purchases in respect of your charitable
organisation.
- You will not frame the AmazonSmile
Site, or any part of it, within your Site. However, displaying a Link on
your Site in accordance with the Participation Agreement will not be
considered framing the AmazonSmile Site. You may promote your Programme
participation and Link through social media and email as described in
Section A above.
- You will not post or serve any Links
or other content promoting the AmazonSmile Site within any pop-up or
pop-under windows, transitional page ads, or layer ads around or in
conjunction with the display of any site that is not your Site.
- You will not include any Links in any
content that you place on the AmazonSmile Site or any other Amazon site
(for example, in connection with any advertising service available through
the AmazonSmile Site or in a customer review, forum, post, guide, or
any other customer-generated context available on the AmazonSmile Site).
- You will not cloak, hide, spoof, or
otherwise obscure the URL of your website containing Links (including by
use of a redirecting page) such that we cannot reasonably determine the
website from which a customer clicks through such Link to the AmazonSmile
Site.
From time to time, we may request
information from you in order to verify your compliance with the Participation
Agreement or any Operational Documentation, including whether you meet, or
continue to meet, the definition of an Eligible Organisation. You agree to
cooperate with us and promptly satisfy such reasonable requests. Upon our
request, you will provide us with written certification, in substantially the
form requested by Amazon, that you have complied with the Participation
Agreement, including all Operational Documentation. In addition, you consent to
us monitoring your Site to verify your compliance with the Participation
Agreement and you will provide copies of Content on offline versions of your
website upon request.
