2.3 Responsibility for Your App Center Content. You are solely responsible for Your App Center Content.

We may remove, suspend, de-list, or modify any listing for any App from the App Center at any time.

2.10 Customer Information. Except as expressly set forth in this Section 2.10 or as otherwise expressly permitted by us, you may use Customer Information only (a) to communicate with Customers who request a connection to the Apps, or (b) for computation of App usage metrics for your internal use. You may not use or process Customer Information for any other purpose, unless otherwise agreed in writing between you and the respective Customer. For example, you may not, directly or indirectly: (i) disclose any Customer Information to any third party, except as necessary for you to perform your obligations under this Agreement or to comply with applicable law requirements and only if you ensure that every recipient uses the information only for that purpose and complies with all restrictions applicable to you; (ii) use any Customer Information for any marketing or promotional purposes whatsoever; (iii) use any Customer Information in any way inconsistent with applicable privacy policies or law; or (iv) target any communications based on the intended recipient being an Amazon customer. However, you may use Customer Information for your marketing or promotional purposes provided that it is permitted under the applicable privacy policies and law and you have obtained the express consent of Customers (receiving such marketing or promotional communications or have another lawful legal basis under applicable laws) . This section does not prevent you from using other information that you acquire without reference to Customer Information for any lawful purpose, even if that information is identical to Customer Information, as long as you do not target communications based on the intended recipient being an Amazon customer.
2.11 Marketing Restriction. You may not include in Your App Center Content, any advertisements or promotions for, or opportunities for a Customer to purchase, products or services that you do not list in the App Center. If you choose to market or make other references to the availability of the Apps on the App Center, with prior written authorization from us you may use an Amazon approved logo in compliance with these requirements and any replacement or supplemental trademark and/or branding requirements we specify.
2.12 Other Rights. During the Term and for so long as Customers may use any App, you grant us a nonexclusive, irrevocable, royalty-free, worldwide license to: (a) reproduce, distribute, display, transmit, promote, and otherwise digitally make available (via all means of online and electronic distribution), Your App Center Content to provide services to you in accordance with this Agreement; but no Customer will be provided access to an App without requesting a connection from you through the App Center for such App; (b) use (i) your trademarks and logos in the form you provide them to us (with any modifications to optimize their viewing), and (ii) limited portions of Your App Center Content (e.g., product description) for marketing the Apps or the App Center; and (c) to the extent we provide a demonstration program for the product type of the Apps, access, display, promote and otherwise use Your App Center Content for demonstrating your App(s) for potential Customers. Our use of or access to Your App Center Content for the purposes specified in this section is under the foregoing license and the terms of this Agreement, and such license expressly supersedes any click-through, browsewrap and/or other terms related to Your App Center Content. For clarity, the foregoing license is limited in all respects to use of Your App Center Content in connection with your offers through the App Center. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to affect any rights we may have under a separate permission or as allowable under applicable laws. We may permit our Affiliates and independent contractors to exercise the rights that you grant to us in this Agreement.

We may charge, modify, or stop charging a fee for any service in our sole discretion. You may terminate the Agreement by giving us notice including a date of termination. If your Business Account or the Account Terms are terminated, this Agreement will also terminate at the same time without notice. Following termination of this Agreement, the applicable EULA terms will continue to govern then-existing Customers' use of Your App Center Content.
4. Indemnification. You will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless us, our Affiliates and licensors, and each of their and our respective employees, officers, directors, and representatives from and against any loss, claim, liability, damage, action or cause of action (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or relating to any third party claim concerning: (a) Your App Center Content, including any claim involving alleged infringement, misappropriation, or violation of any third-party rights by Your App Center Content, or the copying, use, distribution, sale, development, design, production, advertising or marketing of Your App Center Content; (b) a dispute between you and any Customer; (c) any royalties or payments due by you to any third party (including any taxing authority) as a result of this Agreement or any transactions for the Apps; (d) any actual or alleged violation of law, gross negligence, willful misconduct, or fraud by you or third parties performing services or acting on your behalf; and (e) any actual or alleged breach of this Agreement, including but not limited to any of your representations, warranties or covenants set forth in Section 2.5.
