Publishers are expected to conduct proper research to ensure that the Titles sold through the Digital Text Platform Program are in compliance with all local, state, national, and international laws. If Amazon Digital Services, Inc. determines that the content of a Title is prohibited, we may summarily remove or alter it without returning any fees. Amazon Digital Services, Inc. reserves the right to make judgments about whether or not content is appropriate.Please take a moment to familiarize yourself with some examples of prohibited content:
Pornography
Pornography and hard-core material that depicts graphic sexual acts.
Offensive Material
What we deem offensive is probably about what you would expect. Amazon Digital Services, Inc. reserves the right to determine the appropriateness of Titles sold on our site.
Illegal Items
Titles sold through the Digital Text Platform Program must adhere to all applicable laws. Some Titles that may not be sold include any Titles which may lead to the production of an illegal item or illegal activity.
Stolen Goods
If Amazon Digital Services, Inc. learns that a Publisher does not have the right to license a Title to us through the Digital Text Platform Program, we will immediately remove the Title from the Program.
Items that Infringe Upon an Individual's Privacy
Amazon Digital Services, Inc. holds personal privacy in the highest regard.
