Amazon Prime Terms & Conditions

Last updated August 14, 2026

Welcome to the terms and conditions ("Terms") for Amazon Prime. These Terms are between you and Amazon.com Services LLC and/or its affiliates ("Amazon.com" or "Us") and govern our respective rights and obligations. Please note that your use of the Amazon.com website and Prime membership are also governed by the agreements listed and linked to below, as well as all other applicable terms, conditions, limitations, and requirements on the Amazon.com website, all of which (as changed over time) are incorporated into these Terms. If you sign up for a Prime membership plan, you accept these Terms.

Prime Membership Plans and Promotional Trials

We may offer various Prime membership plans (including but not limited to promotional memberships, trial memberships, Prime Student, Prime Access, and Prime Shipping). Prime benefits and membership fee may vary by membership plan. You may enroll and maintain membership in a Prime membership plan if you meet the eligibility requirements described on the applicable plan's enrollment page or that are otherwise stated in the trial or promotional offer. If you are no longer eligible to be a member of a plan, we may transition your membership to a different Prime membership plan. For any transition, we will notify you in advance of your next renewal. You may cancel at any time before the change takes effect.

Membership Cancellation

If you signed-up for your Prime membership directly through us, you may cancel any time before your renewal date via this page to avoid the next charge. If you cancel within 3 business days of signing up for or converting from a free trial to a paid membership, we will refund your full membership fee; provided that we may charge you (or withhold from your refund) the value of Prime benefits used by you and your account during this 3-business day period. If you cancel at any other time, we will refund your full membership fee only if you and your account did not make any eligible purchases or take advantage of Prime benefits since your latest Prime membership charge. If you signed up for your Prime membership through a third party, you may need to contact the third party to cancel your membership or receive any refund under its applicable policies.

Prime Benefits

Prime shipping benefits depend upon inventory availability, order deadlines, delivery speed selected, and in some cases the shipping address. They are limited to certain products sold by Amazon.com (or third-party sellers participating in Prime) on the Amazon.com website and to certain products on third-party websites that offer Prime shipping benefits. Products eligible for Prime will be designated as such on their product pages. Some special product, order, handling fees, and/or taxes may still apply to eligible purchases. If only some items in your order are eligible for Prime, you will pay applicable shipping charges for the ineligible items. Changing or combining orders, or changing your shipping address, speed, or preferences might affect Prime eligibility. Certain purchases may only be entitled to Standard Delivery because of their size, weight, and other shipping characteristics. We may exclude products with special shipping characteristics at our discretion.

Information about additional Prime benefits can be found here.

Other Limitations

  • We reserve the right to accept or refuse membership in our discretion.
  • We may send you email and other communications related to Prime and your Prime membership (regardless of any settings or preferences related to your Amazon account).
  • You may not transfer or assign your Prime membership or any Prime benefits, including promotion codes for Prime memberships or benefits, except as allowed in these Terms.
  • Prime members are not permitted to purchase products for the purpose of resale, rental, or to ship to their customers or potential customers using Prime benefits.
  • Some Prime benefits are not available for all Prime membership plans and may require certain purchase thresholds, have quantity or shipping address limitations, or require members to meet specified criteria in order to access them.
  • From time to time, Amazon may choose in its sole discretion to add or remove Prime benefits or modify the eligibility requirements of a Prime membership plan.

Fees and Renewal

The membership fee for each Prime membership plan is stated in the Prime section of our Help pages. The Prime membership fee is non-refundable except as expressly set forth in these Terms. Taxes may apply on either or both of the membership fee and the reduced shipping charges for Prime.

If you sign up for your Prime membership through us and are billed by us, then the billing terms described below will apply to your membership.

If all eligible payment methods we have on file for you are declined for payment of your membership fee, you must provide us a new eligible payment method promptly or your membership will be canceled. If you provide us with a new eligible payment method and are successfully charged, your new membership period will be based on the original renewal date and not the date of the successful charge.

UNLESS YOU NOTIFY US BEFORE A CHARGE THAT YOU WANT TO CANCEL, YOU UNDERSTAND YOUR PRIME MEMBERSHIP WILL AUTOMATICALLY CONTINUE AND YOU AUTHORIZE US (WITHOUT NOTICE TO YOU, UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW) TO COLLECT THE THEN-APPLICABLE MEMBERSHIP FEE AND ANY TAXES, USING ANY ELIGIBLE PAYMENT METHOD WE HAVE ON RECORD FOR YOU. IF THE MEMBERSHIP FEE INCREASES, WE WILL NOTIFY YOU IN ADVANCE OF THE RENEWAL OF THE NEW FEE. YOU MAY CANCEL AT ANY TIME BEFORE THE RENEWAL TAKES EFFECT.

If you signed up for your Prime membership through a third party and are not billed directly by us, then the billing terms provided by the third party will apply to your membership.

Agreement Changes

We may in our discretion change these Terms or any aspect of Prime membership, without notice to you. If any change to these Terms is found invalid, void, or for any reason unenforceable, that change is severable and does not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining changes or conditions. YOUR CONTINUED MEMBERSHIP AFTER WE CHANGE THESE TERMS CONSTITUTES YOUR ACCEPTANCE OF THE CHANGES. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO ANY CHANGES, YOU MUST CANCEL YOUR MEMBERSHIP.

Termination by Us

We may terminate your Prime membership at our discretion without notice. If we do so, we will give you a prorated refund based on the number of full months remaining in your membership. However, we will not give any refund for termination related to conduct that we determine, in our discretion, violates these Terms or any applicable law, involves fraud or misuse of the Prime membership, or is harmful to our interests or another user. Our failure to insist upon or enforce your strict compliance with these Terms will not constitute a waiver of any of our rights.

Limitation of Liability

IN ADDITION TO OTHER LIMITATIONS AND EXCLUSIONS IN AMAZON.COM'S CONDITIONS OF USE, OUR TOTAL LIABILITY, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, WARRANTY, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE) OR OTHERWISE, WILL NOT EXCEED THE LAST MEMBERSHIP FEE YOU PAID. THIS LIMITATION OF LIABILITY WILL APPLY TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW AND WILL SURVIVE CANCELLATION OR TERMINATION OF YOUR PRIME MEMBERSHIP.

Disputes

Any dispute or claim relating in any way to these Terms or your use of Prime will be subject to the dispute resolution, governing law, disclaimer of warranties and limitation of liability and all other terms in the Amazon.com Conditions of Use.
