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

2. 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).

3. 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.

6. 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.
