AWS Customer Agreement
This AWS Customer Agreement (this “Agreement”) contains the terms and conditions that govern
your access to and use of the Service Offerings (as defined below) and is an agreement between
Amazon Web Services, Inc. (“AWS,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) and you or the entity you represent (“you”
or "your"). This Agreement takes effect when you click an “I Accept” button or check box presented
with these terms or, if earlier, when you use any of the Service Offerings (the “Effective Date”). You
represent to us that you are lawfully able to enter into contracts (e.g., you are not a minor). If you are
entering into this Agreement for an entity, such as the company you work for, you represent to us
that you have legal authority to bind that entity. Please see Section 14 for definitions of certain
capitalized terms used in this Agreement.
1. Use of the Service Offerings.
1.1 Generally. You may access and use the Service Offerings in accordance with this Agreement.
Service Level Agreements and Service Terms apply to certain Service Offerings. You will comply with
the terms of this Agreement and all laws, rules and regulations applicable to your use of the Service
Offerings.
1.2 Your Account. To access the Services, you must have an AWS account associated with a valid
email address and a valid form of payment. Unless explicitly permitted by the Service Terms, you
will only create one account per email address.
1.3 Third-Party Content. Third-Party Content may be used by you at your election. Third-Party
Content is governed by this Agreement and, if applicable, separate terms and conditions
accompanying such Third-Party Content, which terms and conditions may include separate fees and
charges.
2. Changes.
2.1 To the Service Offerings. We may change or discontinue any or all of the Service Offerings or
change or remove functionality of any or all of the Service Offerings from time to time. We will notify
you of any material change to or discontinuation of the Service Offerings.
2.2 To the APIs. We may change or discontinue any APIs for the Services from time to time. For any
discontinuation of or material change to an API for a Service, we will use commercially reasonable
efforts to continue supporting the previous version of such API for 12 months after the change or
discontinuation (except if doing so (a) would pose a security or intellectual property issue, (b) is
economically or technically burdensome, or (c) would cause us to violate the law or requests of
governmental entities).
2.3 To the Service Level Agreements. We may change, discontinue or add Service Level Agreements
from time to time in accordance with Section 12.
3. Security and Data Privacy.
3.1 AWS Security. Without limiting Section 10 or your obligations under Section 4.2, we will
implement reasonable and appropriate measures designed to help you secure Your Content against
accidental or unlawful loss, access or disclosure.
3.2 Data Privacy. You may specify the AWS regions in which Your Content will be stored. You
consent to the storage of Your Content in, and transfer of Your Content into, the AWS regions you
select. We will not access or use Your Content except as necessary to maintain or provide the Service
Offerings, or as necessary to comply with the law or a binding order of a governmental body. We will
not (a) disclose Your Content to any government or third party or (b) subject to Section 3.3, move
Your Content from the AWS regions selected by you; except in each case as necessary to comply with
the law or a binding order of a governmental body. Unless it would violate the law or a binding order
of a governmental body, we will give you notice of any legal requirement or order referred to in this
Section 3.2. We will only use your Account Information in accordance with the Privacy Policy, and
you consent to such usage. The Privacy Policy does not apply to Your Content.
3.3 Service Attributes. To provide billing and administration services, we may process Service
Attributes in the AWS region(s) where you use the Service Offerings and the AWS regions in the
United States. To provide you with support services initiated by you and investigate fraud, abuse or
violations of this Agreement, we may process Service Attributes where we maintain our support and
investigation personnel.
4. Your Responsibilities.
4.1 Your Accounts. Except to the extent caused by our breach of this Agreement, (a) you are
responsible for all activities that occur under your account, regardless of whether the activities are
authorized by you or undertaken by you, your employees or a third party (including your
contractors, agents or End Users), and (b) we and our affiliates are not responsible for unauthorized
access to your account.
4.2 Your Content. You will ensure that Your Content, Your Submissions and Your and End Users’ use
of Your Content, Your Submissions or the Service Offerings will not violate any of the Policies or any
applicable law. You are solely responsible for the development, content, operation, maintenance, and
use of Your Content and Your Submissions.
4.3 Your Security and Backup. You are responsible for properly configuring and using the Service
Offerings and otherwise taking appropriate action to secure, protect and backup your accounts and
Your Content in a manner that will provide appropriate security and protection, which might include
use of encryption to protect Your Content from unauthorized access and routinely archiving Your
Content.
4.4 Log-In Credentials and Account Keys. AWS log-in credentials and private keys generated by the
Services are for your internal use only and you will not sell, transfer or sublicense them to any other
entity or person, except that you may disclose your private key to your agents and subcontractors
performing work on your behalf.
4.5 End Users. You will be deemed to have taken any action that you permit, assist or facilitate any
person or entity to take related to this Agreement, Your Content, Your Submissions or use of the
Service Offerings. You are responsible for End Users’ use of Your Content and the Service Offerings.
You will ensure that all End Users comply with your obligations under this Agreement and that the
terms of your agreement with each End User are consistent with this Agreement. If you become
aware of any violation of your obligations under this Agreement caused by an End User, you will
immediately suspend access to Your Content and the Service Offerings by such End User. We do not
provide any support or services to End Users unless we have a separate agreement with you or an
End User obligating us to provide such support or services.
5. Fees and Payment.
5.1 Service Fees. We calculate and bill fees and charges monthly. We may bill you more frequently
for fees accrued if we suspect that your account is fraudulent or at risk of non-payment. You will pay
us the applicable fees and charges for use of the Service Offerings as described on the AWS Site using
one of the payment methods we support. All amounts payable by you under this Agreement will be
paid to us without setoff or counterclaim, and without any deduction or withholding. Fees and
charges for any new Service or new feature of a Service will be effective when we post updated fees
and charges on the AWS Site, unless we expressly state otherwise in a notice. We may increase or
add new fees and charges for any existing Services you are using by giving you at least 30 days’ prior
notice. We may elect to charge you interest at the rate of 1.5% per month (or the highest rate
permitted by law, if less) on all late payments.
5.2 Taxes. Each party will be responsible, as required under applicable law, for identifying and
paying all taxes and other governmental fees and charges (and any penalties, interest, and other
additions thereto) that are imposed on that party upon or with respect to the transactions and
payments under this Agreement. All fees payable by you are exclusive of Indirect Taxes. We may
charge and you will pay applicable Indirect Taxes that we are legally obligated or authorized to
collect from you. You will provide such information to us as reasonably required to determine
whether we are obligated to collect Indirect Taxes from you. We will not collect, and you will not
pay, any Indirect Tax for which you furnish us a properly completed exemption certificate or a direct
payment permit certificate for which we may claim an available exemption from such Indirect Tax.
All payments made by you to us under this Agreement will be made free and clear of any deduction
or withholding, as may be required by law. If any such deduction or withholding (including but not
limited to cross-border withholding taxes) is required on any payment, you will pay such additional
amounts as are necessary so that the net amount received by us is equal to the amount then due and
payable under this Agreement. We will provide you with such tax forms as are reasonably requested
in order to reduce or eliminate the amount of any withholding or deduction for taxes in respect of
payments made under this Agreement.
6. Temporary Suspension.
6.1 Generally. We may suspend your or any End User’s right to access or use any portion or all of the
Service Offerings immediately upon notice to you if we determine:
(a) your or an End User’s use of the Service Offerings (i) poses a security risk to the Service Offerings
or any third party, (ii) could adversely impact our systems, the Service Offerings or the systems or
Content of any other AWS customer, (iii) could subject us, our affiliates, or any third party to liability,
or (iv) could be fraudulent;
(b) you are, or any End User is, in breach of this Agreement;
(c) you are in breach of your payment obligations under Section 5; or
(d) you have ceased to operate in the ordinary course, made an assignment for the benefit of
creditors or similar disposition of your assets, or become the subject of any bankruptcy,
reorganization, liquidation, dissolution or similar proceeding.
6.2 Effect of Suspension. If we suspend your right to access or use any portion or all of the Service
Offerings:
(a) you remain responsible for all fees and charges you incur during the period of suspension; and
(b) you will not be entitled to any service credits under the Service Level Agreements for any period
of suspension.
7. Term; Termination.
7.1 Term. The term of this Agreement will commence on the Effective Date and will remain in effect
until terminated under this Section 7. Any notice of termination of this Agreement by either party to

We may terminate this Agreement for any reason by providing you at least 30 days’ advance notice.
(b) Termination for Cause.
(i) By Either Party. Either party may terminate this Agreement for cause if the other party is in
material breach of this Agreement and the material breach remains uncured for a period of 30 days
from receipt of notice by the other party. No later than the Termination Date, you will close your
account.
(ii) By Us. We may also terminate this Agreement immediately upon notice to you (A) for cause if we
have the right to suspend under Section 6, (B) if our relationship with a third-party partner who
provides software or other technology we use to provide the Service Offerings expires, terminates or
requires us to change the way we provide the software or other technology as part of the Services, or
(C) in order to comply with the law or requests of governmental entities.

(a) Generally. Upon the Termination Date:
(i) except as provided in Section 7.3(b), all your rights under this Agreement immediately terminate;

continue to apply in accordance with their terms.

this Agreement; and (b) copy and use the AWS Content solely in connection with your permitted use
of the Services. Except as provided in this Section 8.4, you obtain no rights under this Agreement

property rights. Some AWS Content and Third-Party Content may be provided to you under a
separate license, such as the Apache License, Version 2.0, or other open source license. In the event
of a conflict between this Agreement and any separate license, the separate license will prevail with
respect to the AWS Content or Third-Party Content that is the subject of such separate license.
8.5 License Restrictions. Neither you nor any End User will use the Service Offerings in any manner
or for any purpose other than as expressly permitted by this Agreement. Neither you nor any End
User will, or will attempt to (a) modify, distribute, alter, tamper with, repair, or otherwise create
derivative works of any Content included in the Service Offerings (except to the extent Content
included in the Service Offerings is provided to you under a separate license that expressly permits
the creation of derivative works), (b) reverse engineer, disassemble, or decompile the Service
Offerings or apply any other process or procedure to derive the source code of any software
included in the Service Offerings (except to the extent applicable law doesn’t allow this restriction),
(c) access or use the Service Offerings in a way intended to avoid incurring fees or exceeding usage
limits or quotas, or (d) resell or sublicense the Service Offerings. During and after the Term, you will
not assert, nor will you authorize, assist, or encourage any third party to assert, any intellectual
property infringement claim regarding any Service Offerings you have used. You may only use the
AWS Marks in accordance with the Trademark Use Guidelines. You will not misrepresent or
embellish the relationship between us and you (including by expressing or implying that we support,
sponsor, endorse, or contribute to you or your business endeavors). You will not imply any
relationship or affiliation between us and you except as expressly permitted by this Agreement.
8.6 Suggestions. If you provide any Suggestions to us or our affiliates, we and our affiliates will be
entitled to use the Suggestions without restriction. You hereby irrevocably assign to us all right, title,
and interest in and to the Suggestions and agree to provide us any assistance we require to
document, perfect, and maintain our rights in the Suggestions.
9. Indemnification.
9.1 General. You will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless us, our affiliates and licensors, and each
of their respective employees, officers, directors, and representatives from and against any Losses
arising out of or relating to any third-party claim concerning: (a) your or any End Users’ use of the
Service Offerings (including any activities under your AWS account and use by your employees and
personnel); (b) breach of this Agreement or violation of applicable law by you, End Users, Your
Content or Your Submissions; (c) Your Content or Your Submissions or the combination of Your

Content or Your Submissions; or (d) a dispute between you and any End User. You will reimburse us
for reasonable attorneys’ fees, as well as our employees’ and contractors’ time and materials spent
responding to any third party subpoena or other compulsory legal order or process associated with
third party claims described in (a) through (d) above at our then-current hourly rates.
9.2 Process. We will promptly notify you of any claim subject to Section 9.1, but our failure to
promptly notify you will only affect your obligations under Section 9.1 to the extent that our failure
prejudices your ability to defend the claim. You may: (a) use counsel of your own choosing (subject
to our written consent) to defend against any claim; and (b) settle the claim as you deem
appropriate, provided that you obtain our prior written consent before entering into any settlement.
We may also assume control of the defense and settlement of the claim at any time.

12. Modifications to the Agreement.
We may modify this Agreement (including any Policies) at any time by posting a revised version on
the AWS Site or by otherwise notifying you in accordance with Section 13.10; provided, however,
that we will provide at least 90 days’ advance notice in accordance with Section 13.10 for adverse
changes to any Service Level Agreement. Subject to the 90 day advance notice requirement with
respect to adverse changes to Service Level Agreements, the modified terms will become effective
upon posting or, if we notify you by email, as stated in the email message. By continuing to use the
Service Offerings after the effective date of any modifications to this Agreement, you agree to be
bound by the modified terms. It is your responsibility to check the AWS Site regularly for
modifications to this Agreement. We last modified this Agreement on the date listed at the end of
this Agreement.
13. Miscellaneous.
13.1 Assignment. You will not assign or otherwise transfer this Agreement or any of your rights and
obligations under this Agreement, without our prior written consent. Any assignment or transfer in
violation of this Section 13.1 will be void. Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement will be binding
upon, and inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective permitted successors and assigns.
13.2 Entire Agreement. This Agreement incorporates the Policies by reference and is the entire
agreement between you and us regarding the subject matter of this Agreement. This Agreement
supersedes all prior or contemporaneous representations, understandings, agreements, or
communications between you and us, whether written or verbal, regarding the subject matter of this
Agreement (but does not supersede prior commitments to purchase Services such as Amazon EC2
Reserved Instances). We will not be bound by, and specifically object to, any term, condition or other
provision that is different from or in addition to the provisions of this Agreement (whether or not it
would materially alter this Agreement) including for example, any term, condition or other provision
(a) submitted by you in any order, receipt, acceptance, confirmation, correspondence or other
document, (b) related to any online registration, response to any Request for Bid, Request for
Proposal, Request for Information, or other questionnaire, or (c) related to any invoicing process
that you submit or require us to complete. If the terms of this document are inconsistent with the
terms contained in any Policy, the terms contained in this document will control, except that the
Service Terms will control over this document.
13.3 Force Majeure. We and our affiliates will not be liable for any delay or failure to perform any
obligation under this Agreement where the delay or failure results from any cause beyond our
reasonable control, including acts of God, labor disputes or other industrial disturbances, electrical
or power outages, utilities or other telecommunications failures, earthquake, storms or other
elements of nature, blockages, embargoes, riots, acts or orders of government, acts of terrorism, or
war.
13.4 Governing Law. The laws of the State of Washington, without reference to conflict of law rules,
govern this Agreement and any dispute of any sort that might arise between you and us. The United
Nations Convention for the International Sale of Goods does not apply to this Agreement.
13.5 Disputes. Any dispute or claim relating in any way to your use of the Service Offerings, or to any
products or services sold or distributed by AWS will be resolved by binding arbitration, rather than
in court, except that you may assert claims in small claims court if your claims qualify. The Federal
Arbitration Act and federal arbitration law apply to this Agreement. There is no judge or jury in
arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is limited. However, an arbitrator can award on
an individual basis the same damages and relief as a court (including injunctive and declaratory
relief or statutory damages), and must follow the terms of this Agreement as a court would. To begin
an arbitration proceeding, you must send a letter requesting arbitration and describing your claim to
our registered agent Corporation Service Company, 300 Deschutes Way SW, Suite 304, Tumwater,
WA 98501. The arbitration will be conducted by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under
its rules, which are available at www.adr.org or by calling 1-800-778-7879. Payment of filing,
administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA's rules. We will reimburse those fees
for claims totaling less than $10,000 unless the arbitrator determines the claims are frivolous. We
will not seek attorneys' fees and costs in arbitration unless the arbitrator determines the claims are
frivolous. You may choose to have the arbitration conducted by telephone, based on written
submissions, or at a mutually agreed location. We and you agree that any dispute resolution
proceedings will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class, consolidated or
representative action. If for any reason a claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration we and
you waive any right to a jury trial. Subject to Section 8.5, we and you both agree that you or we may
bring suit in court to enjoin infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights.
13.6 Trade Compliance. In connection with this Agreement, each party will comply with all
applicable import, re-import, sanctions, anti-boycott, export, and re-export control laws and
regulations, including all such laws and regulations that apply to a U.S. company, such as the Export
Administration Regulations, the International Traffic in Arms Regulations, and economic sanctions
programs implemented by the Office of Foreign Assets Control. For clarity, you are solely
responsible for compliance related to the manner in which you choose to use the Service Offerings,
including your transfer and processing of Your Content, the provision of Your Content to End Users,
and the AWS region in which any of the foregoing occur. You represent and warrant that you and
your financial institutions, or any party that owns or controls you or your financial institutions, are
not subject to sanctions or otherwise designated on any list of prohibited or restricted parties,
including but not limited to the lists maintained by the United Nations Security Council, the U.S.
Government (e.g., the Specially Designated Nationals List and Foreign Sanctions Evaders List of the
U.S. Department of Treasury, and the Entity List of the U.S. Department of Commerce), the European
Union or its Member States, or other applicable government authority.
13.7 Independent Contractors; Non-Exclusive Rights. We and you are independent contractors, and
this Agreement will not be construed to create a partnership, joint venture, agency, or employment
relationship. Neither party, nor any of their respective affiliates, is an agent of the other for any
purpose or has the authority to bind the other. Both parties reserve the right (a) to develop or have
developed for it products, services, concepts, systems, or techniques that are similar to or compete
with the products, services, concepts, systems, or techniques developed or contemplated by the
other party, and (b) to assist third party developers or systems integrators who may offer products
or services which compete with the other party’s products or services.
13.8 Language. All communications and notices made or given pursuant to this Agreement must be
in the English language. If we provide a translation of the English language version of this
Agreement, the English language version of the Agreement will control if there is any conflict.
13.9 Confidentiality and Publicity. You may use AWS Confidential Information only in connection
with your use of the Service Offerings as permitted under this Agreement. You will not disclose AWS
Confidential Information during the Term or at any time during the 5-year period following the end
of the Term. You will take all reasonable measures to avoid disclosure, dissemination or
unauthorized use of AWS Confidential Information, including, at a minimum, those measures you
take to protect your own confidential information of a similar nature. You will not issue any press
release or make any other public communication with respect to this Agreement or your use of the
Service Offerings.
13.10 Notice.

13.11 No Third-Party Beneficiaries. Except as set forth in Section 9.1, this Agreement does not create
any third-party beneficiary rights in any individual or entity that is not a party to this Agreement.
13.12 U.S. Government Rights. The Service Offerings are provided to the U.S. Government as
“commercial items,” “commercial computer software,” “commercial computer software
documentation,” and “technical data” with the same rights and restrictions generally applicable to
the Service Offerings. If you are using the Service Offerings on behalf of the U.S. Government and
these terms fail to meet the U.S. Government’s needs or are inconsistent in any respect with federal
law, you will immediately discontinue your use of the Service Offerings. The terms “commercial
item” “commercial computer software,” “commercial computer software documentation,” and
“technical data” are defined in the Federal Acquisition Regulation and the Defense Federal
Acquisition Regulation Supplement.
13.13 No Waivers. The failure by us to enforce any provision of this Agreement will not constitute a
present or future waiver of such provision nor limit our right to enforce such provision at a later
time. All waivers by us must be in writing to be effective.
13.14 Severability. If any portion of this Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable, the
remaining portions of this Agreement will remain in full force and effect. Any invalid or
unenforceable portions will be interpreted to effect and intent of the original portion. If such

Agreement but the rest of the Agreement will remain in full force and effect.

AWS Service Terms
Last updated: April 19, 2017
The following Service Terms apply only to the specific Services to which the Service Terms relate. In
the event of a conflict between the terms of these Service Terms and the terms of the
AWS
Customer Agreement
or other agreement with us governing your use of our Services
(the “Agreement”), the terms and conditions of these Service Terms apply, but only to the extent of
such conflict. Capitalized terms used herein but not defined herein shall have the meanings set forth
in the Agreement.
1. Universal Service Terms (Applicable to All Services)
1.1. You may only use the Services to store, retrieve, query, serve, and execute Your Content that is
owned, licensed or lawfully obtained by you. As used in these Service Terms, (a) “Your Content”
includes any “Company Content” and any “Customer Content” and (b) “AWS Content” includes
“Amazon Properties”. As part of the Services, you may be allowed to use certain software (including
related documentation) provided by us or third party licensors. This software is neither sold nor
distributed to you and you may use it solely as part of the Services. You may not transfer it outside
the Services without specific authorization to do so.
1.2. You must comply with the current technical documentation applicable to the Services (including
the applicable developer guides) as posted by us and updated by us from time to time on the AWS
Site. In addition, if you create technology that works with a Service, you must comply with the
current technical documentation applicable to that Service (including the applicable developer
guides) as posted by us and updated by us from time to time on the AWS Site.
1.3. You will provide information or other materials related to Your Content (including copies of any
client-side applications) as reasonably requested by us to verify your compliance with the
Agreement. We may monitor the external interfaces (e.g., ports) of Your Content to verify your
compliance with the Agreement. You will not block or interfere with our monitoring, but you may
use encryption technology or firewalls to help keep Your Content confidential. You will reasonably
cooperate with us to identify the source of any problem with the Services that we reasonably believe
may be attributable to Your Content or any end user materials that you control.
1.4. If we reasonably believe any of Your Content violates the law, infringes or misappropriates the
rights of any third party or otherwise violates a material term of the Agreement (including the
documentation, the Service Terms, or the
Acceptable Use Policy
) (“Prohibited Content”), we will
notify you of the Prohibited Content and may request that such content be removed from the
Services or access to it be disabled. If you do not remove or disable access to the Prohibited Content
within 2 business days of our notice, we may remove or disable access to the Prohibited Content or
suspend the Services to the extent we are not able to remove or disable access to the Prohibited
Content. Notwithstanding the foregoing, we may remove or disable access to any Prohibited Content
without prior notice in connection with illegal content, where the content may disrupt or threaten
the Services, pursuant to the Digital Millennium Copyright Act or as required to comply with law or
any judicial, regulatory or other governmental order or request. In the event that we remove content
without prior notice, we will provide prompt notice to you unless prohibited by law.
1.5. From time to time, we may offer free or discounted pricing programs covering certain usage of
the Services (each, a “Special Pricing Program”). We may stop accepting new sign-ups or discontinue
a Special Pricing Program at any time. Standard charges will apply after a Special Pricing Program
ends or if you exceed the limitations by the Special Pricing Program. You must comply with any
additional terms, restrictions, or limitations (e.g., limitations on the total amount of usage) for the
Special Pricing Program as described in the offer terms for the Special Pricing Program or on the
pricing page for the eligible Service(s). You may not access or use the Services in a way intended to
avoid any additional terms, restrictions, or limitations (e.g., establishing multiple AWS accounts in
order to receive additional benefits under a Special Pricing Program), and we may immediately
terminate your account if you do so. Any data stored or instances provided as part of a Special
Pricing Program must be actively used.
1.6. If we make multiple discounts or pricing options for a Service available to you at one time, you
will only be eligible to receive one discount or pricing option, and will not be entitled to cumulative
discounting and pricing options.
1.7. You will ensure that all information you provide to us via the AWS Site (for instance, information
provided in connection with your registration for the Services, requests for increased usage limits,
etc.) is accurate, complete and not misleading.
1.8. From time to time, we may apply upgrades, patches, bug fixes or other maintenance to the
Service Offerings (“Maintenance”). We agree to use reasonable efforts to provide you with prior
notice of any scheduled Maintenance (except for emergency Maintenance) and you agree to use
reasonable efforts to comply with any Maintenance requirements that we notify you about.
1.9 If your Agreement does not include a provision on AWS Confidential Information, and you and
AWS do not have an effective non-disclosure agreement in place, then you agree that you will not
disclose AWS Confidential Information (as defined in the AWS Customer Agreement), except as
required by law.
1.10 Beta Service Participation
1.10.1. This Section describes the additional terms and conditions under which you may access and
use certain features, technologies and services made available to you by AWS that are not yet
generally available, including, but not limited to, any products, services, or features labeled “beta”,
“preview”, “pre-release”, or “experimental” (each, a “Beta Service”) or access and use Service
Offerings available in AWS regions that are not generally available, including, but not limited to, any
AWS regions identified by AWS as “beta”, “preview”, “pre-release”, or “experimental” (each, a “Beta
Region”). In the event there is a conflict between the terms of this Section 1.10 and an existing AWS
Beta Test Participation Agreement between you and AWS, the terms of the existing AWS Beta Test
Participation Agreement will take precedence.
1.10.2. During the term of the applicable Beta Service or Beta Region (as specified by AWS), you may:
(a) access and use the Beta Service or Service Offerings in any Beta Region solely for internal
evaluation purposes; and (b) install, copy, and use any related AWS Content that may be provided to
you by AWS in connection with the Beta Service or Service Offerings in any Beta Region (“Beta
Materials”) solely as necessary to access and use the Beta Service or Service Offerings in any Beta
Region in the manner permitted by this Section.
1.10.3. You agree not to allow access to or use of any Beta Service, Service Offerings in any Beta
Region or Beta Materials by any third party other than your employees and contractors who (i) have
a need to use or access the Beta Service, Service Offerings in the Beta Region or Beta Materials in
connection with your internal evaluation activities, and (ii) have executed written non-disclosure
agreements obligating them to protect the confidentiality of non-public information regarding the
Beta Service, Beta Region and Beta Materials.
1.10.4. You must comply with all policies and guidelines related to any Beta Service or Beta Region
as posted on the AWS Site or otherwise made available to you, including the Privacy Policy,
Acceptable Use Policy, the Service Terms, and any additional terms and conditions for a specific Beta
Service or Beta Region. AWS may add or modify restrictions, including lowering or raising any usage
limits, related to access to or use of any Beta Service, Service Offerings in any Beta Region or Beta
Materials at any time. If requested by AWS, you will promptly increase or decrease your usage of the
applicable Beta Service, Service Offerings in a Beta Region or Beta Materials to the levels that AWS
may specify. Service Level Agreements do not apply to Beta Services or any Services Offerings in
Beta Regions.
1.10.5. AWS may suspend or terminate your access to or use of any Beta Service or Service Offerings
in any Beta Region at any time and for any reason. AWS may at any time cease providing any or all of
any Beta Service or any Service Offering in a Beta Region in its sole discretion and without notice.
Beta Services and Services Offerings in Beta Regions also may be unavailable and/or their
performance may be negatively affected by scheduled and unscheduled maintenance. AWS will use
reasonable efforts to notify you in advance of scheduled maintenance, but AWS is unable to provide
advance notice of unscheduled or emergency maintenance.
1.10.6. In consideration of being allowed to access and use a Beta Service or Service Offering in a
Beta Region, you agree to provide AWS with information relating to your access, use, testing, or
evaluation of the Beta Service, Service Offerings in the Beta Region or any related Beta Materials,
including observations or information regarding the performance, features and functionality of the
Beta Service or any related Beta Materials as applicable, when and in the form reasonably requested
by AWS (“Test Observations”). AWS will own and may use and evaluate all Test Observations for its
own purposes. You will not use any Test Observations except for your internal evaluation purposes
of the Beta Service or Beta Region.
1.10.7. Each individual Beta Service and Service Offering in a Beta Region will automatically
terminate upon the release of a generally available version of the applicable Beta Service or Service
Offering in a Beta Region or upon notice of termination by AWS. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary in the Agreement or these Services Terms, either you or AWS may terminate your
participation in a Beta Service or Service Offering in a Beta Region at any time for any reason upon
notice to the other party. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Agreement, after the
conclusion of your participation in a Beta Service or Service Offering in a Beta Region for any reason,
(a) you will not have any further right to access or use the applicable Beta Service or Service Offering
in the Beta Region and Beta Materials; (b) your Content used in the applicable Beta Service or
Service Offering in the Beta Region may be deleted or inaccessible; and (c) you will immediately
return or, if instructed by AWS, destroy all Beta Materials or any other AWS Confidential Information
related to the applicable Beta Service, Service Offering in any Beta Region or Beta Materials. If AWS
releases a generally available version of a Beta Service or a Service Offering in a Beta Region, your
access to and use of the generally available version will be subject to the Agreement and any
separate Section of these Service Terms as may be specified for that generally available Service
Offering. If any Beta Region becomes generally available, your access to and use of Service Offerings
in the generally available AWS region will be subject to the terms and conditions applicable to that
AWS region. AWS does not guarantee that any Beta Service or Service Offering in any Beta Region
will ever be made generally available, or that any generally available version will contain the same or
similar functionality as the version made available by AWS during the term of the Beta Service or
Beta Region, as applicable. AWS does not guarantee that any Beta Region will become generally
available.
1.10.8. Beta Materials, Test Observations, Suggestions concerning a Beta Service or Beta Region, or
any other information about or involving (including the existence of) any Beta Service or Beta
Region are considered AWS Confidential Information. You will not disclose (including, but not
limited to, in a press release or public statement) any Beta Materials, Test Observations, Suggestions
concerning a Beta Service, or any other information about or involving (including the existence of)
any Beta Service, except as agreed by AWS in writing.
1.10.9. ADDITIONAL WARRANTY DISCLAIMERS. WITHOUT LIMITING ANY DISCLAIMERS IN THE
AGREEMENT OR THE SERVICE TERMS, THE BETA SERVICES, SERVICE OFFERINGS IN BETA
REGIONS, BETA REGIONS AND BETA MATERIALS ARE NOT READY FOR GENERAL COMMERCIAL
RELEASE AND MAY CONTAIN BUGS, ERRORS, DEFECTS OR HARMFUL COMPONENTS.
ACCORDINGLY, AND NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY IN THE AGREEMENT OR
THESE SERVICES TERMS, AWS IS PROVIDING THE BETA SERVICES, SERVICE OFFERINGS IN BETA
REGIONS AND BETA MATERIALS TO YOU “AS IS.” AWS AND ITS AFFILIATES AND LICENSORS MAKE
NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED,
STATUTORY OR OTHERWISE REGARDING THE BETA SERVICES, SERVICE OFFERINGS IN BETA
REGIONS, BETA REGIONS AND BETA MATERIALS, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY THAT THE BETA
SERVICES, SERVICE OFFERINGS IN BETA REGIONS, BETA REGIONS AND BETA MATERIALS WILL BE
UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR FREE OR FREE OF HARMFUL COMPONENTS, OR THAT ANY CONTENT,
INCLUDING YOUR CONTENT, WILL BE SECURE OR NOT OTHERWISE LOST OR DAMAGED. EXCEPT
TO THE EXTENT PROHIBITED BY LAW, AWS AND ITS AFFILIATES AND LICENSORS DISCLAIM ALL
WARRANTIES, INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, SATISFACTORY
QUALITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, OR QUIET ENJOYMENT,
AND ANY WARRANTIES ARISING OUT OF ANY COURSE OF DEALING OR USAGE OF TRADE. AWS’
AND ITS AFFILIATES’ AND LICENSORS’ AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR ANY BETA SERVICES WILL BE
LIMITED TO THE AMOUNT YOU ACTUALLY PAY US UNDER THIS AGREEMENT FOR THE BETA
SERVICES THAT GAVE RISE TO THE CLAIM DURING THE 12 MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM.
1.10.10. Because the Beta Services and Materials involve features, technologies and services that are
not yet generally available, you acknowledge that any violation of this Section 1.10 could cause
irreparable harm to AWS for which monetary damages may be difficult to ascertain or an inadequate
remedy. You therefore agree that AWS will have the right, in addition to its other rights and
remedies, to seek injunctive relief for any violation of this Section 1.10.
1.11 You may perform benchmarks or comparative tests or evaluations (each, a “Benchmark Test”)
of the Service Offerings; provided, however, that you may not, and may not direct or permit third-
parties to, disclose results or data produced from any Benchmark Test of a Service Offering, unless:
(a) such disclosure includes all information necessary for us or any third-party to completely and
accurately replicate the Benchmark Test; (b) you permit us to perform Benchmark Tests of your
products or services and to disclose results or data produced from such Benchmark Tests, provided
that such disclosure includes all information necessary for you or any third-party to completely and
accurately replicate the Benchmark test; and (c) if you perform a Benchmark Test for a third-party,
directly or indirectly, in exchange for consideration, you will identify the third-party and you
represent and warrant that you have procured all rights necessary for us to perform Benchmark
Tests of the third-party’s products or services and to disclose results or data produced from such
Benchmark Tests.
2. Amazon CloudFront
2.1. You must own or have all necessary rights to use any domain name or SSL certificate that you
use in conjunction with Amazon CloudFront. You are solely responsible for the renewal, security and
proper configuration of any SSL certificates that you provide for use with Amazon CloudFront,
including any disclosure of your SSL certificates to third parties.
2.2. Amazon CloudFront requires you to store the original version of Your Content in an origin server
(such as Amazon S3). If you use other Services to store the original version of Your Content, you are
responsible for the separate fees you accrue for the other Services and for Amazon CloudFront.
2.3. While you will only be charged fees specified for the selected Price Class, Your Content you
select for delivery from edge locations in a Price Class may from time to time be served from edge

any kind, any of Your Content that sits in an Amazon SQS queue or any Amazon SQS queue that
remains inactive for more than the number of days specified in the user documentation.
4. Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud
4.1. In connection with your use of Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (including all instances and

implied warranty of fitness for High Risk Use. High Risk Use does not include utilization of the
Microsoft Software for administrative purposes, to store configuration data, engineering and/or
configuration tools, or other non-control applications, the failure of which would not result in
death, personal injury, or severe physical or environmental damage. These non-controlling
applications may communicate with the applications that perform the control, but must not be
directly or indirectly responsible for the control function.
•
Microsoft is an intended third-party beneficiary of this Section 4.2.1, with the right to enforce its
provisions.
4.2.2. For any instance running Microsoft Software (each, a “Microsoft Instance”), you may not use
nesting, container or similar technologies to sell or resell multiple instances, portion(s) of an
instance, or containers running within the Microsoft Instance, unless (a) you are the ultimate end
user of the Microsoft Instance, (b) you have supplemented the Microsoft Instance with your own
applications, or (c) you have added primary and significant functionality to the Microsoft Instance.
4.3. Using SUSE Software. In conjunction with the Services, you may be allowed to use certain
software (including related documentation) developed and owned by SUSE LLC or its licensors
(collectively, the “SUSE Software”). If you choose to use the SUSE Software, SUSE and its licensors
require that you agree to these additional terms and conditions:
•
Your use of the SUSE Software is subject to the terms and conditions of the SUSE End User
License Agreement (“SUSE EULA”) provided with the SUSE Software currently located
at
https://www.suse.com/licensing/eula
and the SUSE Terms and Conditions currently

Software Subscription Agreement currently located
at
www.redhat.com/licenses/cloud_cssa/
(the “Red Hat CSSA”). By using the Red Hat

4.5. Spot Instance Pricing. You may request that certain Amazon EC2 instances run pursuant to the
Spot instance pricing and payment terms (“Spot Instance Pricing”) set forth on the Amazon EC2
product detail page on the AWS Site (each requested instance, a “Spot Instance”). You must request
Spot Instances through the AWS Management Console or by using API tools (“Spot Instance
Request”). As part of your Spot Instance Request, you must specify the maximum hourly price you
are willing to pay to run the requested Spot Instances (“Your Maximum Price”). Unless you specify a
permissible alternative termination date, your Spot Instance Request will remain active until we
fulfill it or you cancel it. We set the price for Spot Instances (the “Spot Price”), which may vary over
time based on a number of factors, including the amount of available compute capacity we have
available and the price you and other customers are willing to pay for Spot Instances (e.g., supply
and demand). While a requested Spot Instance remains running, you will be charged the current
Spot Price in effect at the beginning of each instance hour. You will not be charged more than Your
Maximum Price. We may terminate Spot Instances at any time and without any notice to you if we
determine the current Spot Price equals or exceeds Your Maximum Price or for AWS capacity
requirements. If we terminate your Spot Instance, you will only be charged for each full hour the
Spot Instance ran. AWS may allow you to purchase Spot Instances of a fixed duration (each, a “Spot
Block”), where the Spot Price for that Spot Instance (the “Block Price”) will remain constant for the
duration of the Spot Block, and you will be charged the Block Price for the duration of your Spot
Block. Spot Instances purchased as Spot Blocks run independently of the Spot Price, and will not be
terminated because the Spot Price equals or exceeds Your Maximum Price. Spot Instances purchased
as Spot Blocks may still be terminated for AWS capacity requirements and will terminate at the
conclusion of the fixed duration. If a Spot Instance purchased as a Spot Block is terminated due to
AWS capacity requirements, you will not be charged for that Spot Instance. Unless you designate
your Spot Instance Request as a persistent request, terminated Spot Instances will not automatically
restart. You should save your work frequently and test your application to ensure it is fault tolerant
and will correctly handle interruptions. We have no liability whatsoever for any damages, liabilities,
losses (including any corruption, deletion, or destruction or loss of data, applications or profits), or
any other consequences resulting from our termination of any Spot Instance. Spot Instances may not
be used with certain Services, features and third-party software we specify, including Amazon
DevPay, IBM software packages, or Microsoft SQL Server. You may not, directly, indirectly, alone or
in cooperation with any third party, attempt to control, influence or manipulate the price for Spot
Instances. Without limiting the foregoing, you may not submit requests for Spot Instances through
any third party (e.g., “proxy bidding”) or share information with any third party regarding the
maximum prices specified in your Spot Instance Requests. We may modify or terminate the Spot
Instance Pricing program at any time. In addition to the Spot Instance Pricing, Spot Instances are
subject to all data transfer and other usage fees applicable under the Agreement.
4.6. EC2 Reserved Instance Pricing. You may designate Amazon EC2 instances as subject to the
reserved pricing and payment terms (“EC2 Reserved Instance Pricing”) set forth on the Amazon EC2
detail page on the AWS Site (each designated instance, a “EC2 Reserved Instance”). Scheduled EC2
Reserved Instances (“Scheduled Instances”) will terminate upon completion of the scheduled
reservation. You may designate instances as EC2 Reserved Instances by calling to the Purchasing API
or selecting the EC2 Reserved Instance option in the AWS console. The EC2 Reserved Instances may
only be used in the applicable AWS region. We may change EC2 Reserved Instance Pricing at any
time but price changes will not apply to previously designated EC2 Reserved Instances, except as
described in this Section 4.6. If Microsoft increases the license fees it charges for Windows, or if Red
Hat increases the license fees it charges for Red Hat Enterprise Linux (“RHEL”), we may make a
corresponding increase to the per-hour usage rate (or institute a corresponding per-hour usage
rate) for EC2 Reserved Instances with Windows or RHEL. Any increase in (or institution of) the per-
hour usage rate for EC2 Reserved Instances with Windows will be made between December 1 and
January 31, and we will provide 30 days’ notice. For any increase in (or institution of) the per-hour
usage rate for EC2 Reserved Instances with RHEL we will provide 30 days’ notice. If this happens,
you may: (a) continue to use your EC2 Reserved Instances with Windows or RHEL with the new per-
hour usage price; (b) convert your EC2 Reserved Instances with Windows or RHEL to comparable
EC2 Reserved Instances with Linux; or (c) terminate your EC2 Reserved Instances with Windows or
RHEL and receive a pro rata refund of the up-front fee you paid for the terminated EC2 Reserved
Instances with Windows or RHEL. We may terminate the EC2 Reserved Instance Pricing program at
any time. EC2 Reserved Instances are nontransferable, except in accordance with the requirements
of the RI Marketplace, but Scheduled Instances and Convertible Reserved Instances (as defined on
Amazon EC2 detail page on the AWS Site) are not eligible for the RI Marketplace. EC2 Reserved
Instances are noncancellable and you will owe the EC2 Reserved Instance Pricing for the duration of
the term you selected, even if the Agreement is terminated. All amounts paid in connection with the
EC2 Reserved Instances are nonrefundable, except that if we terminate the Agreement other than for
cause, terminate an individual EC2 Reserved Instance type, or terminate the EC2 Reserved Instance
Pricing program, we will refund you a pro rata portion of any up-front fee paid in connection with
any previously designated EC2 Reserved Instances. You may not purchase EC2 Reserved Instances
for the purpose of reselling them in the RI Marketplace, and we reserve the right to refuse or cancel
your purchase if we suspect you are doing so. Upon expiration or termination of the term of EC2
Reserved Instances, the EC2 Reserved Instance pricing will expire and standard on-demand usage
prices will apply to the instances. In addition to being subject to EC2 Reserved Instance Pricing, EC2
Reserved Instances are subject to all data transfer and other fees applicable under the Agreement.
4.7 EC2 Reserved Instance (RI) Marketplace.
4.7.1. Eligibility. The rights to an active EC2 Reserved Instance can be offered for sale through the RI
Marketplace as long as (1) the remaining term on the Reserved Instance is greater than one month,
and (2) your payment of the upfront charge for it has been received and processed (for credit card
purchases, 30 days after you have paid the upfront fee, and for invoice purchases, after you have
paid the applicable invoice) (a “Marketable EC2 Reserved Instance”). The characteristics of the
Marketable EC2 Reserved Instance (e.g., Instance Type, Platform, Region, Availability Zone, Tenancy,
Hypervisor, Reserved Instance Type, Duration, and Hourly Price) will remain as originally
designated. The term for the Marketable EC2 Reserved Instance will be the remainder of the original
EC2 Reserved Instance term rounded down to the nearest month (for example, an EC2 Reserved
Instance with 9 months and 16 days until expiration will be listed and sold as a 9 month Marketable
EC2 Reserved Instance). You can be a “Seller” if you are a current AWS customer in good standing,
you have a Marketable EC2 Reserved Instance associated with your AWS account, and you complete
the registration process through your AWS account. Non-U.S.-based entities may not be Sellers
without providing the Form W-8BEN (Certificate of Foreign Status of Beneficial Owner for United
States Tax Withholding) to establish that you are not a U.S. person. You can be a “Buyer” if you are a
current AWS customer in good standing. You can resell an EC2 Reserved Instance that you
previously purchased through the RI Marketplace. You may not resell an EC2 Reserved Instance that
you purchased through a discount program (Reserved Instance Volume Discounts or otherwise)
without obtaining our prior approval.
4.7.2. Submitting Marketable EC2 Reserved Instance for Sale. As a Seller, you will set the one-time
price for your Marketable EC2 Reserved Instance. The hourly price will be the then-current hourly
price for that type of EC2 Reserved Instance, and you will not receive any funds collected from
payments associated with the hourly prices. You will pay the then-current fee to us specified on the
AWS Site when your Marketable EC2 Reserved Instance is sold. Your Marketable EC2 Reserved
Instance will be available for sale after you list it in the RI Marketplace, but it will remain yours and
you will be able to use it until it is sold. You may remove a listing of Marketable EC2 Reserved
Instance from the RI Marketplace at any time before it has been purchased by a Buyer. We may
remove Marketable EC2 Reserved Instance from the RI Marketplace at any time for any reason. Once
sold and transferred to a Buyer, a Seller will have no rights to that Marketable EC2 Reserved
Instance.
4.7.3. Our Role. As a Seller, you will be the seller of record of your rights to a Marketable EC2
Reserved Instance. Except as expressly set forth in these Service Terms, we are not involved in any
underlying transaction between you and any Buyer. We or our affiliates may also participate in the
market as a Seller or a Buyer.
4.7.4. Processing of Transactions; Collection of Transaction Proceeds. On Seller’s behalf, we will
process all payments for Transactions and collect the applicable Transaction
Proceeds. “Transaction” means any sale of Marketable EC2 Reserved Instance through the RI
Marketplace. “Transaction Proceeds” means the gross sales proceeds received by us from any
Transaction. You will ensure that all fees and charges payable by Buyers for Marketable EC2
Reserved Instance are billed and collected through us and you will not offer or establish any
alternative means of payment. We may impose transaction limits on some or all Buyers and Sellers
relating to the value of any Transaction or disbursement, the cumulative value of all Transactions or
disbursements during a period of time, or the number of Transactions that we will process over a
period of time. We may withhold for investigation, or refuse to process, any of your Transactions
that we suspect is fraudulent, unlawful or otherwise violates the terms of these Service Terms, the
Agreement, or our Acceptable Use Policy. For each Transaction, we will not remit Transaction
Proceeds to a Seller, and the Marketable EC2 Reserved Instance will be available to the Buyer, until
after we have successfully processed payments for that Transaction from the Buyer.
4.7.5. Remittance of Transaction Proceeds to Sellers. At the end of each business day, we will pay to
you all due and payable Transaction Proceeds that we have collected as of the date that is 2 business
days prior to the date of payment. We will deduct from each payment any applicable fees and
charges due to us related to Marketable EC2 Reserved Instances. The applicable fees and charges are
posted on the AWS Site and may be changed from time to time. We may withhold, deduct, or setoff
any amounts payable by you to us or our affiliates against any Transaction Proceeds. Payments will
be made only to an ACH-enabled bank account located in the United States that you register with us.
If there is an error in the processing of any Transaction, you authorize us to initiate debit or credit
entries to your designated bank account, to correct such error, provided that any such correction is
made in accordance with applicable laws and regulations. If we are unable to debit your designated
bank account for any reason, you authorize us to resubmit the debit, plus any applicable fees, to any
other bank account or payment instrument that you have on file with us or to deduct the debit and
applicable fees from future Transaction Proceeds.
4.7.6. Taxes. Sellers are responsible for the calculation, validation and payment of any and all sales,
use, excise, import, export, value added, withholding and other taxes and duties assessed, incurred
or required to be collected (“Taxes”) or paid for any reason in connection with any Transaction and
with Marketable EC2 Reserved Instance. We are not obliged to determine whether any Taxes apply
to any Transaction, and we are not responsible for remitting Taxes to any taxing authority with
respect to any Transaction, or for reporting any information (including the payment of Taxes) with
respect to any Transaction. Each Seller will indemnify us and our affiliates against any claim or
demand for payment of any Taxes imposed in connection with any Transaction, and for any fines,
penalties, or similar charges imposed as a result of the Seller’s failure to collect, remit or report any
Taxes in connection with any Transaction.
4.7.7. Data Collection and Sharing. For each Seller, we will collect the necessary data and tax forms to
enable compliance with applicable tax laws. For example, for U.S.-based Sellers, we will collect and
retain Seller name and address, and may collect the tax identification number and other data as
needed to comply with Form 1099K reporting requirements; for non-U.S.-based Sellers, we will
collect and retain a Form W-8BEN tax form (which includes name, address, and a signature) as proof
that you are exempt from Form 1099K reporting. For each Buyer, we will collect and retain the
Buyer’s name and address. Buyers and Sellers will not know the name of the other party to the
Transaction until the Transaction is completed. Upon completion of the Transaction, we will share
the applicable Buyer’s city, state, and zip with the Seller so that the Seller can calculate the
appropriate tax (if any) to remit to the appropriate government entity. We will share the Seller’s
legal name on the Buyer’s invoice. Buyers and Sellers may not use information about the Transaction
or about the other party gained in connection with a Transaction (“Transaction Information”) for
any purpose that is not related to the Transaction. For example, you may not, directly or indirectly:
(1) disclose any Transaction Information to any third party, except as necessary for you to perform
your tax obligations or other obligations under these Service Terms and only if you ensure that
every recipient uses the information only for that purpose and complies with these restrictions; (2)
use any Transaction Information for any marketing or promotional purposes whatsoever; (3) use
any Transaction Information in any way inconsistent with applicable law; (4) contact a party to
influence them to make an alternative sale or purchase; (5) disparage us, our affiliates or any of their
or our respective products; or (6) target communications of any kind on the basis of the intended
recipient being an RI Marketplace Buyer or Seller.

if the Agreement is terminated. Dedicated Hosts associated to an active EC2 Dedicated Host
Reservation cannot be unallocated from your account, and you will continue to pay for the Dedicated
Host while still associated with the EC2 Dedicated Host Reservation. All amounts paid in connection
with the EC2 Dedicated Host Reservations are nonrefundable, except that if we terminate the
Agreement other than for cause, terminate an individual EC2 Dedicated Host type, or terminate the
EC2 Dedicated Host Reservation Pricing program, we will refund you a pro rata portion of any up-
front fee paid in connection with any previously designated EC2 Dedicated Host Reservation. Upon
expiration or termination of the term of an EC2 Dedicated Host Reservation, the EC2 Dedicated Host
Reservation Pricing will expire and standard on-demand Dedicated Host prices will apply to the
Dedicated Host. In addition to being subject to EC2 Dedicated Host Reservation Pricing, EC2
Dedicated Host Reservations are subject to all data transfer and other fees applicable under the

refunds, and adjustments for your DevPay Transactions, We will process all payments refunds,
and adjustments for DevPay Transactions and collect the applicable gross sales proceeds
received by us from any DevPay Transaction (“DevPay Transaction Proceeds”) on your behalf.
We do not guarantee payment on behalf of any DevPay Customers. We may withhold for

fraudulent, unlawful or otherwise violates the terms of the Agreement or these Service Terms.
When a DevPay Customer concludes a DevPay Transaction, you authorize us to commit the DevPay
Customer’s payment less any applicable fees or other amounts we may collect under these terms
(“Net Transaction Proceeds”) to you. You agree that DevPay Customers satisfy their obligations to
you for your DevPay Transactions when we receive the DevPay Transaction Proceeds. We will remit
Net Transaction Proceeds to you in accordance with the Agreement and these Service Terms.
b.
Remittance of Net Transaction Proceeds to You. Once a month, we will pay to you all previously
unpaid Net Transaction Proceeds that we have collected as of the date that is 2 business days
prior to the date of payment, except that we may withhold payments to you until you have
properly set up your bank account in accordance with instructions you receive from us. We will
deduct from each Transaction Proceed any processing fee described on the DevPay detail page
on the AWS Site. We may also withhold, deduct, or setoff any amounts payable by you to us or
our affiliates against any DevPay Transaction Proceeds. All payments to you will be sent through
the Automated Clearing House (ACH) system to your designated U.S. bank account. If there is an
error in the processing of any DevPay Transaction, you authorize us to initiate debit or credit
entries to your designated bank account, to correct such error, provided that any such correction
is made in accordance with applicable laws and regulations. If we are unable to debit your
designated bank account for any reason, you authorize us to resubmit the debit, plus any
applicable fees, to any other bank account or payment instrument that you have on file with us
or to deduct the debit and applicable fees from future DevPay Transaction Proceeds.
c.
DevPay Taxes. You are responsible for the calculation, invoicing (if required), validation and
payment of any and all sales, use, excise, import, export, value-added, withholding and other
taxes and duties assessed, incurred or required to be collected (“DevPay Taxes”) or paid for any
reason in connection with any DevPay Transaction and with your Bundled Applications. We are
not obliged to determine whether any DevPay Taxes apply to any DevPay Transaction or your
Bundled Applications, and we are not responsible for remitting DevPay Taxes to any taxing
authority with respect to any DevPay Transaction or your Bundled Applications, or for reporting
any information (including the payment of DevPay Taxes) with respect to any DevPay
Transaction or your Bundled Applications. Notwithstanding the foregoing, when we are legally
obligated by a valid taxing authority, we will collect DevPay Taxes, and we will provide DevPay
Customers with a compliant tax invoice where we are required to do so.
d.
If we are unable to collect the DevPay Transaction Proceeds or a prior transaction for those
DevPay Transaction Proceeds is reversed, you will not be responsible for paying the fees for the
Services used by you and your DevPay Customer (“Service Fees”) and AWS will have no
obligation to remit or otherwise seek collection of the DevPay Transaction Proceeds, provided
that the payment failure is due to:
o
AWS’s inability to charge a DevPay Customer’s credit card for the DevPay Transaction
Proceeds, or
o
A transaction is reversed as a result of a chargeback because the transaction was not
authorized or was otherwise fraudulent.
In addition, in the applicable month, the DevPay Transaction Proceeds charged must exceed the
Service Fees. In the event of such a payment failure, we may recover or otherwise set off any DevPay
Transaction Proceeds from you that we collected in the month to the extent they do not exceed the
Service Fees. In the event that either you or AWS is subsequently able to collect the DevPay
Transaction Proceeds, you will pay to AWS the corresponding Service Fees as provided in the
Agreement

and we may use these metrics to provide, maintain, and improve the quality and feature set of the
Service Offerings.
13.3. As part of AWS Import/Export Snowmobile, we will transport a containerized data center and
networking equipment (collectively, “Snowmobile”), and, in certain cases, auxiliary power and
chilling units, to a designated transfer location (the “Transfer Site”). The Snowmobile, power
generator, chiller unit, related vehicles, and all software provided in connection with the foregoing
are collectively “Snowmobile Materials.” You will cooperate with us to meet all requirements for
deploying Snowmobile Materials, including surveying, securing and maintaining the Transfer Site,
obtaining all necessary licenses and permits for operation of the Snowmobile Materials at the
Transfer Site, and allowing access for us and our affiliates’ employees, subcontractors, and agents
(collectively, “Snowmobile Personnel”) to setup, maintain, inspect, repair, operate and remove
Snowmobile Materials. After Snowmobile Materials are deployed, you may transfer data onto the
Snowmobile (such data contained on the Snowmobile before, during, or after transfer, also “Data”).
Once the transfer is complete, authorized Snowmobile Personnel will transport the Snowmobile to
the selected AWS region for upload of Data into a supported AWS Service as Your Content.
13.4. You will comply with all specifications and documentation for AWS Import/Export as provided
and updated by us from time to time, including shipping and encryption requirements, the
AWS
Import/Export Disk Pack and Ship Check List
, the AWS Import/Export Snowball User Guide,
and any documentation on the AWS Site or an Appliance.
13.5. You will be solely responsible for all shipping and handling costs (which may include costs of
freight and transit insurance) for shipping Media and Appliances to or from us. For AWS
Import/Export Disk, we may pay some reasonable return shipping charges as described on the AWS
Import/Export Disk section of the AWS Site. You are responsible for payment of all customs, duties,
taxes and other charges in connection with Media and Appliances being shipped to or from us. Use of
AWS Import/Export may require or allow use of supported AWS Services, which are subject to the
applicable terms of this Agreement. You are responsible for the separate fees you accrue for AWS
Services.
13.6. For AWS Import/Export Disk, you will bear the entire risk of loss of, or damage to, any Media
while in transit and you are solely responsible for obtaining insurance at your expense. For AWS
Import/Export Snowball, you are responsible for the entire risk of loss of, or any damage to, an
Appliance once it has been delivered by the carrier to your address until the carrier accepts the
Appliance for delivery back to us. For Appliances that are not Snowball Edge Appliances, we may
charge you a lost device fee of $7,500 USD if the Appliance is lost or irreparably damaged after it has
been provided to you until the carrier accepts the Appliance for delivery back to us, or if you do not
provide the Appliance to the carrier for return to us within 90 days of the date it was delivered to
you. For Snowball Edge Appliances, we may charge you a lost device fee of $15,000 USD if the
Appliance is lost or irreparably damaged after it has been provided to you until the carrier accepts
the Appliance for delivery back to us, or if you do not provide the Appliance to the carrier for return
to us at our request. If we receive an Appliance back from you and it has any damage which it did not
have when we sent it to you, you may be charged the cost to us of fixing the damage or, if the damage
cannot be reasonably fixed, the applicable lost device fee. For avoidance of doubt, lost device fees do
not limit your liability under this Agreement. For AWS Import/Export Snowmobile, you are
responsible for the entire risk of loss of, or any damage to, Snowmobile Materials once they arrive at
the Transfer Site until the Snowmobile Materials depart the Transfer Site under the supervision of
authorized Snowmobile Personnel. You may not allow Snowmobile Materials to leave the Transfer
Site other than under the supervision of authorized Snowmobile Personnel.
13.7. You will retain title to any Media and Data we receive from you and store on an AWS Service
(or provide to you upon your request) as part of AWS Import/Export. You supply us with Media and
Data, and YOU use Media, Appliances, Snowball Software, AND Snowmobile Materials entirely at
your own risk. You should back-up Data prior to transfer onto an Appliance, Snowmobile or Media
and prior to delivery to us, and you should not delete any of Your Content on an AWS Service before
transferring such content from an Appliance, Snowmobile or Media onto your own systems. Your
Data should not include live or production data or any other data that you are not prepared to lose.
We are not responsible for and will not be held liable for any delay, damage or loss incurred in
connection with AWS Import/Export, including without limitation loss, damage, destruction or
misuse of ANY Data or any systems or equipment used in connection with AWS Import/Export. Our
confirmed receipt of delivery or notification of shipment or transport does not: (a) indicate or imply
that any Media, Appliance, Snowmobile Materials, or Data has been or will be delivered or was
received free of loss, damage or destruction, or that any loss or damage to, or any destruction of, any
Media, Appliance, Snowmobile Materials, or Data later discovered is not your responsibility; (b)
indicate or imply that we actually received the number of units of Media or Appliances specified by
you for such shipment; or (c) waive, limit or reduce any of our rights under the Agreement. We
reserve the right to impose, and change, from time to time, limitations on the delivery of your Media
or Data, and you will comply with any of these restrictions or limitations.
13.8. You represent that you have all necessary rights to (a) provide the Media and/or Data (whether
contained on an Appliance, Media or Snowmobile) to us for upload into supported AWS Services, (b)
receive Appliances and/or Snowmobiles and use them as permitted by us, (c) transfer Data to the
Media, Appliance or Snowmobile, and (d) authorize our transfer of any Data specified by you to the
Media, Appliance or Snowmobile and to you. Without limiting the foregoing, if Data includes
personal information, personally identifiable information, personal data, any information about a
person or individual, or any other data covered by applicable law or regulation, you represent that
you have obtained all necessary rights to transfer such Data to or from the AWS region you select,
and you will comply with all of your obligations with respect of such Data as required by applicable
law or regulation, which may include obtaining consent of the subjects of such Data. We may
reproduce Data as necessary to transfer it between Media, Appliances or Snowmobiles and
supported AWS Services.
13.9. IN ADDITION TO THE DISCLAIMERS IN THE AGREEMENT, WE HEREBY DISCLAIM ANY
DUTIES OF A BAILEE OR WAREHOUSEMAN, AND YOU HEREBY WAIVE ALL RIGHTS AND REMEDIES
OF A BAILOR (WHETHER ARISING UNDER COMMON LAW OR STATUTE), RELATED TO OR ARISING
OUT OF ANY POSSESSION, STORAGE OR SHIPMENT OF MEDIA OR DATA BY US OR OUR AFFILIATES
OR ANY OF OUR OR THEIR CONTRACTORS OR AGENTS. YOU ARE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR

assessed or imposed on us or our affiliates in connection with or as a result of the storage, shipping
or other actions taken by you or us with respect to your use of AWS Import/Export; or (c) any legal
or regulatory violation arising under the laws or regulations of any country (including without
limitation privacy regulations) related to your use of AWS Import/Export.
13.11. Once AWS Import/Export services are complete, we will return the Media to you or destroy
Unsuitable Media, delete Data from the Appliance, or delete Data from the Snowmobile, as
applicable. We may return Media to you for any reason, including upon termination of the
Agreement or the AWS Import/Export Service. Returned Media will be sent to your designated
shipping address. Media shipped to us for import into or export from supported AWS Services in the
EU (Ireland) Region must originate from and be returned to an address within the European Union
or the European Economic Area. If we are unable to return Media to you due to any issue with your
address or Media, we will attempt to notify you, and you will have thirty (30) calendar days from the
date we provide notification to resolve the issue. If the issue is not resolved, the Media will be
deemed Unsuitable Media subject to disposal and we may erase Data and dispose of Media in any
manner and we have no obligation to reimburse or compensate you in connection with such erasure
or disposal.
13.12. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Agreement, you may give agents and
subcontractors of your choosing access to the private key associated with your AWS account solely
for the purpose of (a) preparing Data for import, export or processing using AWS Import/Export or
(b) confirming the integrity of Data imported, exported or processed using AWS Import/Export. You
remain fully responsible for and indemnify us for all activities undertaken by such third parties
under your account. Other than as specifically set forth in this section, all terms and conditions of the
Agreement continue to apply to your use of the Services.
13.13. The Appliances, Snowmobile Materials ,Snowball Software and all other proprietary
information, know-how, programming, software, trademarks, trade secrets, plan drawings,

Software contained on Appliances is a “Service Offering” and your use of such Snowball Software is
governed by the applicable terms of the Agreement. Your use of the AWS Snowball Client and any
downloadable Snowball Software is governed by the licenses included with such Snowball Software.
13.14. You will return all Appliances to us regardless of the external condition of the Appliance and
even if you believe the Appliance may be damaged or non-functional. Although the used Appliance is
not waste electrical and electronic equipment, and you will not be the final user of the Appliance, for
the avoidance of doubt you understand that the Appliance is not to be disposed of as waste electrical
and electronic equipment, including as unsorted municipal waste or in any other waste collection
process, that your return of the Appliance to us according to the terms of the Agreement will
contribute to extension of the useful life of the Appliance and its responsible handling and recycling
by us when it reaches its end of life, and that the disposal or improper handling of the Appliance, as
with other electrical and electronic equipment, could have potentially adverse effects on the
environment and human health as a result of the presence of hazardous substances in such
equipment. For avoidance of doubt, the terms of this section also apply to internal batteries included
within Appliances. You are not permitted to access, move or relocate the internal batteries of
Appliances. The Appliance is marked with a crossed-out wheelie bin symbol to reflect these

programmatic access that is provisioned as part of Amazon WAM. During the performance of these
tasks, the Service may only retrieve performance and log information tied to the operation and
management of the Service.
45.4 As part of regular operation of Amazon WAM, the Service will use the End User and machine
identity that is part of your AWS Directory Services environment to check for content that an End
User is entitled to use. In addition, content installed on any of your WorkSpaces may activate against
a license activation server hosted by AWS. You may not attempt to tamper with this license
activation server, or use it in a way that is not part of normal operations or that attempts to
circumvent this Service. We may block access to this Service, and suspend your account, if we
determine that you are in violation of this Section.
45.5 The charges for the Service apply on a monthly basis. If Amazon WAM is enabled for an End
User after the first of a month, then the monthly price for that End User’s subscription will be
adjusted on a pro rata basis from the first day it was active to the end of that month. If Amazon WAM
is disabled for an End User before the end of a month, then the entire monthly charge will still apply.
45.6 When you use Amazon WAM, including Amazon WAM Admin Studio and Amazon WAM Admin
Player applications, you may also use other AWS Services, and use of other AWS Services is subject

with software patches.
45.11 You are responsible for End Users use of Amazon WAM. You are responsible for determining
End User policies and configuring End User policy controls for using applications via Amazon WAM.
46. AWS Marketplace for Desktop Apps
46.1 The AWS Marketplace for Desktop Apps is a venue operated by AWS that allows Content to be
offered, sold, and bought. Content may be sold by AWS or a third party, and the party offering or
selling the Content may specify separate terms and conditions and privacy policies for the use of the
Content.
46.2 Except to the extent Content is provided to you under a separate license that expressly states
otherwise, neither you nor any End User may, or may attempt to, (a) modify, alter, tamper with,
repair, or otherwise create derivative works of any Content, (b) reverse engineer, disassemble, or
decompile the Content or apply any other process or procedure to derive the source code of any
software included in the Content, (c) resell or sublicense the Content, (d) transfer Content outside
the Services without specific authorization to do so, or (e) tamper with or circumvent any controls
or make unauthorized copies of the Content.
46.3 AWS may stop providing the AWS Marketplace for Desktop Apps (or any features of or listings
within the AWS Marketplace for Desktop Apps) to you at AWS’s sole discretion, without prior notice
to you. In addition, AWS may disable or remove Content already purchased, if AWS determines in its
sole discretion that the Content may violate any AWS policies or any other regulations, policies or
laws.
46.4 You authorize AWS, its affiliates, and its third-party payment processors and any service
providers to charge the payment method you select in your AWS account for Content that you
purchase in the AWS Marketplace for Desktop Apps. This may include one-time payments as well as
recurring payments. A “recurring payment” is a payment that occurs at the specified intervals and
amounts provided at the time of purchase (e.g., annually or monthly). The applicable charge for the
Content is listed on the confirmation screen when you place your order. Your authorizations will
remain until cancelled. If a subscription is purchased after the first of a month, then the monthly
price for that Content will be adjusted on a pro rata basis from the first day it was active to the end of
that month. If a subscription is cancelled before the end of a month, then the entire monthly charge
will still apply. Unless we specify otherwise, only valid credit cards may be used to purchase a
recurring payment subscription.
46.5 Third-party support information for each subscription, if any, is set forth on the detail page for
the Content. While AWS may help facilitate the resolution of disputes between you and third-party
Content creators, for the Content, AWS does not guarantee the quality, safety or legality of items
advertised, and support for the Content is the obligation of the third-party Content creator.
46.6 If the Content is offered, sold, or resold by AWS, then it is subject to the terms on the Content’s
detail page. If the Content is offered or sold by a third party, that party will be the seller of record for
the Content. AWS is not a party to the terms with respect to Content offered or sold by third parties.
Any Content offered or sold by third parties through the AWS Marketplace for Desktop Apps
constitutes “Third Party Content” under the Agreement. While AWS may help facilitate the
resolution of disputes between you and third parties, AWS is not responsible for Third Party Content
and has no control over and does not guarantee the quality, safety or legality of items advertised, the
truth or accuracy of Third Party Content or listings, or the ability of sellers to offer the Content.

Redistributables” listed
at
docs.aws.amazon.com/console/lumberyard/userguide/lumberyard-redistributables
.
Lumberyard Materials are AWS Content. The term “Lumberyard Materials” does not include Content
distributed with the Lumberyard Materials under separate license terms (such as code licensed
under an open source license).
57.2 License. In addition to the rights granted to AWS Content under the Agreement, we also grant
you a limited, non-exclusive, non-sublicensable (except to End Users as provided below), non-
transferrable license to do the following during the Term:
a. Development: You may use, reproduce, modify, and create derivative works of the Lumberyard

Lumberyard Project. However, you may do so only if (i) the Lumberyard Project provides material
content or functionality beyond that provided by the Lumberyard Redistributables themselves, (ii)
the Lumberyard Redistributables are integrated into the Lumberyard Project so they are not
separately usable by End Users, (iii) you do not distribute in source code form Lumberyard
Redistributables that we make available in file formats that are commonly compiled (e.g., C, C++) or
for which we make a compiler available, and (iv) you ensure End Users are subject to terms no less
protective of the Lumberyard Materials than these Service Terms, including this Section and Sections
57.4 and 57.5 below. You may sublicense these rights, subject to the restrictions in these terms, to
your End Users to allow them to use, modify, create new content for, and redistribute your
Lumberyard Project (e.g., create new items or levels for a game).
c. Collaboration with other AWS Customers. You may reproduce and distribute (but not sublicense)
the Lumberyard Materials (including any permitted modifications and derivatives) (i) to other AWS
customers that are contractors of yours solely for the purpose of allowing those AWS customers to
perform work on your behalf, (ii) to other AWS customers in connection with work you perform for
them as a contractor, and (iii) to up to 5 other AWS customers who you authorize to distribute a
Lumberyard Project in connection with your sale or licensing of that Lumberyard Project (e.g.,
publishers of a game you develop). Those other AWS customers’ rights to the Lumberyard Materials
are governed by their agreement(s) with us.
57.3 No License Fee. There is no fee for the licenses granted in Section 57.2. Other Service Offerings

normal, individual use. AMCS reserves the right to restrict and disable inbound or outbound
PSTN calling if you or your End Users engage in any prohibited behavior or if necessary for
AMCS to limit abuse or fraud or to maintain service performance. AMCS also reserves the right to
modify or remove PSTN calling inbound calling number(s) previously assigned to you or your
End Users to maintain good quality of service.

do not have the right to keep that number indefinitely. AMCS reserves the right to change, cancel
or move telephone numbers in its reasonable discretion.

telephone services. There are important differences between traditional telephone services and
Amazon Connect. Amazon Connect does not support or carry emergency calling to any emergency
services personnel or public safety answering points (“Emergency Services”) such as 911 and cannot
determine the physical location of call agents and other End Users. You understand and agree that it
is your responsibility to (i) make alternative arrangements for you, your call agents and your other
End Users that may use Amazon Connect to access Emergency Services and (ii) inform all call agents
and other End Users that may use Amazon Connect of these limitations and how they may access
Emergency Services via other means, including the alternative arrangements that you have made
available. Neither AWS nor its affiliates will be liable for any damages resulting from any Emergency
Services call or any inability to place an Emergency Services call utilizing Amazon Connect. You
agree to indemnify and hold AWS and its affiliates harmless for any claims referring or relating to
any Emergency Services call or any inability to place an Emergency Services call utilizing Amazon
Connect.

ahead of time to request applicable exceptions, which we may or may not make in our sole
discretion. Amazon Connect does not support calls to or from facsimile machines or modems. Any
caller identification service provided as a part of Amazon Connect is not guaranteed to function at all
times.
72.4. Regulatory Compliance. It is your responsibility to use Amazon Connect in compliance with the
laws and regulations of the countries where you and your call agents are located, including any
regulations governing the use of the Internet for voice communications and messaging. In India, you
agree that you will not allow your call agents or other End Users located in India to use Amazon
Connect to place calls to Indian telephone numbers or otherwise to third parties located in India.
AWS may suspend your use of Amazon Connect for noncompliance with such laws and regulations.
72.5. Recording and Retention. You and your End Users have the option to request that Amazon
Connect record an applicable audio session along with chat and other types of recordings
(collectively, “Recording”). You and your End Users understand that the making of or use of any
Recording may be subject to laws or regulations regarding the recording of telephone calls and other
electronic communications or of communications generally, and that it is your and your End Users’
responsibility to comply with all applicable laws regarding any Recording, including properly
notifying all participants in a recorded session or to a recorded communication that the session or
communication is being recorded and obtain their consent. Neither AWS nor its affiliates will be
liable for your or your End Users’ unlawful Recording, including failure to provide notice or obtain
consent. Further, if you or your End Users use the Service to “chat” with other users of the Service,
AWS may retain these chat logs or Recordings for Service-related purposes, or as necessary to
comply with the law or a binding order of a governmental body.
Amazon EC2 Service Level Agreement
Last Updated June 1, 2013
This Amazon EC2 Service Level Agreement (“SLA”) is a policy governing the use of Amazon Elastic
Compute Cloud (“Amazon EC2”) and Amazon Elastic Block Store (“Amazon EBS”) under the terms of
the Amazon Web Services Customer Agreement (the “AWS Agreement”) between Amazon Web
Services, Inc. and its affiliates (“AWS”, “us” or “we”) and users of AWS’ services (“you”). This SLA
applies separately to each account using Amazon EC2 or Amazon EBS. Unless otherwise provided
herein, this SLA is subject to the terms of the AWS Agreement and capitalized terms will have the
meaning specified in the AWS Agreement. We reserve the right to change the terms of this SLA in
accordance with the AWS Agreement.
Service Commitment
AWS will use commercially reasonable efforts to make Amazon EC2 and Amazon EBS each available
with a Monthly Uptime Percentage (defined below) of at least 99.95%, in each case during any
monthly billing cycle (the “Service Commitment”). In the event Amazon EC2 or Amazon EBS does not
meet the Service Commitment, you will be eligible to receive a Service Credit as described below.
Definitions
•
“Monthly Uptime Percentage” is calculated by subtracting from 100% the percentage of minutes
during the month in which Amazon EC2 or Amazon EBS, as applicable, was in the state of
“Region Unavailable.” Monthly Uptime Percentage measurements exclude downtime resulting
directly or indirectly from any Amazon EC2 SLA Exclusion (defined below).
•
“Region Unavailable” and “Region Unavailability” mean that more than one Availability Zone in
which you are running an instance, within the same Region, is “Unavailable” to you.
•
“Unavailable” and “Unavailability” mean:
o
For Amazon EC2, when all of your running instances have no external connectivity.
o
For Amazon EBS, when all of your attached volumes perform zero read write IO, with pending
IO in the queue.
•
A “Service Credit” is a dollar credit, calculated as set forth below, that we may credit back to an
eligible account.
Service Commitments and Service Credits
Service Credits are calculated as a percentage of the total charges paid by you (excluding one-time
payments such as upfront payments made for Reserved Instances) for either Amazon EC2 or
Amazon EBS (whichever was Unavailable, or both if both were Unavailable) in the Region affected
for the monthly billing cycle in which the Region Unavailability occurred in accordance with the
schedule below.
Monthly Uptime Percentage
Service Credit Percentage
Less than 99.95% but
equal to or greater than
99.0%
10%
Less than 99.0%
30%
We will apply any Service Credits only against future Amazon EC2 or Amazon EBS payments
otherwise due from you. At our discretion, we may issue the Service Credit to the credit card you
used to pay for the billing cycle in which the Unavailability occurred. Service Credits will not entitle
you to any refund or other payment from AWS. A Service Credit will be applicable and issued only if
the credit amount for the applicable monthly billing cycle is greater than one dollar ($1 USD). Service
Credits may not be transferred or applied to any other account. Unless otherwise provided in the
AWS Agreement, your sole and exclusive remedy for any unavailability, non-performance, or other
failure by us to provide Amazon EC2 or Amazon EBS is the receipt of a Service Credit (if eligible) in
accordance with the terms of this SLA.
Credit Request and Payment Procedures
To receive a Service Credit, you must submit a claim by
opening a case in the AWS Support Center
.
To be eligible, the credit request must be received by us by the end of the second billing cycle after
which the incident occurred and must include:
1.
the words “SLA Credit Request” in the subject line;
2.
the dates and times of each Unavailability incident that you are claiming;
3.
the affected EC2 instance IDs or the affected EBS volume IDs; and
4.
your request logs that document the errors and corroborate your claimed outage (any
confidential or sensitive information in these logs should be removed or replaced with
asterisks).
If the Monthly Uptime Percentage of such request is confirmed by us and is less than the Service
Commitment, then we will issue the Service Credit to you within one billing cycle following the
month in which your request is confirmed by us. Your failure to provide the request and other
information as required above will disqualify you from receiving a Service Credit.
Amazon EC2 SLA Exclusions
The Service Commitment does not apply to any unavailability, suspension or termination of Amazon
EC2 or Amazon EBS, or any other Amazon EC2 or Amazon EBS performance issues: (i) that result
from a suspension described in Section 6.1 of the AWS Agreement; (ii) caused by factors outside of
our reasonable control, including any force majeure event or Internet access or related problems
beyond the demarcation point of Amazon EC2 or Amazon EBS; (iii) that result from any actions or
inactions of you or any third party, including failure to acknowledge a recovery volume; (iv) that
result from your equipment, software or other technology and/or third party equipment, software
or other technology (other than third party equipment within our direct control); (v) that result
from failures of individual instances or volumes not attributable to Region Unavailability; (vi) that
result from any maintenance as provided for pursuant to the AWS Agreement; or (vii) arising from
our suspension and termination of your right to use Amazon EC2 or Amazon EBS in accordance with
the AWS Agreement (collectively, the “Amazon EC2 SLA Exclusions”). If availability is impacted by
factors other than those used in our Monthly Uptime Percentage calculation, then we may issue a
Service Credit considering such factors at our discretion.
Amazon S3 Service Level Agreement
Last Updated September 16, 2015
This Amazon S3 Service Level Agreement (“SLA”) is a policy governing the use of Amazon Simple
Storage Service (“Amazon S3”) under the terms of the Amazon Web Services Customer Agreement
(the “AWS Agreement”) between Amazon Web Services, Inc. and its affiliates (“AWS”, “us” or “we”)
and users of AWS’ services (“you”). This SLA applies separately to each account using Amazon S3.
Unless otherwise provided herein, this SLA is subject to the terms of the AWS Agreement and
capitalized terms will have the meaning specified in the AWS Agreement. We reserve the right to
change the terms of this SLA in accordance with the AWS Agreement.
Service Commitment
AWS will use commercially reasonable efforts to make Amazon S3 available with the applicable
Monthly Uptime Percentage (as defined below) during any monthly billing cycle (the “Service
Commitment”). In the event Amazon S3 does not meet the Service Commitment, you will be eligible
to receive a Service Credit as described below.
Definitions
•
“Error Rate” means: (i) the total number of internal server errors returned by Amazon S3 as
error status “InternalError” or “ServiceUnavailable” divided by (ii) the total number of requests
for the applicable request type during that five minute period. We will calculate the Error Rate
for each Amazon S3 account as a percentage for each five minute period in the monthly billing
cycle. The calculation of the number of internal server errors will not include errors that arise
directly or indirectly as a result of any of the Amazon S3 SLA Exclusions (as defined below).
•
“Monthly Uptime Percentage” is calculated by subtracting from 100% the average of the Error
Rates from each five minute period in the monthly billing cycle.
•
A “Service Credit” is a dollar credit, calculated as set forth below, that we may credit back to an
eligible Amazon S3 account.
Service Credits
Service Credits are calculated as a percentage of the total charges paid by you for Amazon S3 for the
billing cycle in which the error occurred in accordance with the schedule below.
For all requests not otherwise specified below:
Monthly Uptime Percentage
Service Credit Percentage
Equal to or greater than 99.0% but less than 99.9%
10%

25%
We will apply any Service Credits only against future Amazon S3 payments otherwise due from you.
At our discretion, we may issue the Service Credit to the credit card you used to pay for the billing
cycle in which the error occurred. Service Credits will not entitle you to any refund or other payment
from AWS. A Service Credit will be applicable and issued only if the credit amount for the applicable
monthly billing cycle is greater than one dollar ($1 USD). Service Credits may not be transferred or
applied to any other account. Unless otherwise provided in the AWS Agreement, your sole and
exclusive remedy for any unavailability, non-performance, or other failure by us to provide Amazon
S3 is the receipt of a Service Credit (if eligible) in accordance with the terms of this SLA.
Credit Request and Payment Procedures
To receive a Service Credit, you must submit a claim by
opening a case in the AWS Support Center
.
To be eligible, the credit request must be received by us by the end of the second billing cycle after
which the incident occurred and must include:
1.
the words “SLA Credit Request” in the subject line;
2.
the dates and times of each incident of non-zero Error Rates that you are claiming; and
3.
your request logs that document the errors and corroborate your claimed outage (any
confidential or sensitive information in these logs should be removed or replaced with
asterisks).
If the Monthly Uptime Percentage applicable to the month of such request is confirmed by us and is
less than the applicable Service Commitment, then we will issue the Service Credit to you within one
billing cycle following the month in which your request is confirmed by us. Your failure to provide
the request and other information as required above will disqualify you from receiving a Service
Credit.
Amazon S3 SLA Exclusions
The Service Commitment does not apply to any unavailability, suspension or termination of Amazon

Section 6.1 of the AWS Agreement; (ii) caused by factors outside of our reasonable control, including
any force majeure event or Internet access or related problems beyond the demarcation point of
Amazon S3; (iii) that result from any actions or inactions of you or any third party; (iv) that result
from your equipment, software or other technology and/or third party equipment, software or other
technology (other than third party equipment within our direct control); or (v) arising from our
suspension and termination of your right to use Amazon S3 in accordance with the AWS Agreement
(collectively, the “Amazon S3 SLA Exclusions”). If availability is impacted by factors other than those
used in our calculation of the Error Rate, then we may issue a Service Credit considering such factors
at our discretion.
