use or display of any Amazon Marks and you will facilitate such monitoring.
We reserve the right to modify these Guidelines
or the Amazon Marks at any time and in our sole discretion as set forth in Section

- Trademark Usage Guidelines
- YOU ARE ALLOWED TO USE THE AMAZON

we may issue from time to time that apply to the use of the Amazon Marks,
including the most up-to-date version of the Participation Agreement
(including the Operational Documentation) (collectively, "Agreements").
- You cannot use or display any Amazon

products, or our services; (iii) that may, as determined by us, diminish or
otherwise damage our goodwill in any Amazon Mark.
- You may display an Amazon Mark only
in the exact format in which we provide it to you. You may not alter or
modify any Amazon Mark in any manner. For example, you cannot change the

- Each Amazon Mark must appear by
itself, in its entirety, with reasonable spacing between each side of the
Amazon Mark and other visual, graphic, or textual elements. Under no circumstance
can any Amazon Mark be placed on any background that interferes with the
readability or display of that Amazon Mark.
- Together with each piece of content
that includes any Amazon Marks, you must prominently include a statement
stating that Amazon and the Amazon logo and AmazonSmile and the
AmazonSmile logo are trademarks of Amazon.com, Inc. or its affiliates.
For example, if your Site displays the AmazonSmile logo, you would
include the following statement on the same Site component: "AmazonSmile
and the AmazonSmile logo are trademarks of Amazon.com, Inc. or its
affiliates."
- All rights in and to the Amazon
Marks are our exclusive property, and any goodwill generated by your use
of any Amazon Mark will inure to our exclusive benefit. You will not take
any action that is in conflict with our rights in or ownership of any
Amazon Mark.
- You cannot display or otherwise use
any trademark or logo of any third party seller on the AmazonSmile Site
in connection with any Link unless you have obtained from that seller
specific written authorisation to do so.
- You cannot use any trademark of
Amazon or its affiliates (whether or not it’s an Amazon Mark), or a
