Amazon-Sold In-App Products show Amazon's logo, use your Appstore payment method and have their own restrictions

Amazon may sell digital products meant for use within an App, such as extra or enhanced functionality, media content, or subscription access to content or services ("Amazon-Sold In-App Products"). Not every purchase inside an App is one of these: you can tell because you see Amazon's logo when buying and pay with your Amazon Appstore payment method. They are subject to use, access and other restrictions described on, or linked from, their detail page or otherwise provided in the Agreement; those detail pages are not part of this source.

Amazon-Sold In-App Products are subject to any use, access and other restrictions described on, or linked from, the Amazon-Sold In-App Product detail page or otherwise provided in this Agreement.

Amazon-Sold subscriptions auto-renew and free trials convert to paid unless you turn off renewal before the renewal date

If you buy an Amazon-Sold In-App Product that is a subscription, it renews automatically until canceled, and a free trial of one converts to the applicable paid plan when the trial ends. Unless you set it not to renew automatically before its renewal date, you authorize Amazon to charge the then-applicable subscription fee and any taxes to any payment method it has on record for you, without notice unless applicable law requires notice. You may cancel at any time, but to avoid the next charge you must cancel before the next renewal date.

Supporting quotations

If you purchase an Amazon-Sold In-App Product that is a subscription (an “Amazon-Sold Subscription Product”), your subscription will automatically renew until canceled.
If you start a free trial of such an Amazon-Sold Subscription Product, your subscription will automatically convert to the applicable paid subscription plan at the end of the free trial period.
UNLESS YOU SET AN AMAZON-SOLD SUBSCRIPTION PRODUCT TO NOT AUTOMATICALLY RENEW BEFORE ITS RENEWAL DATE, YOU AUTHORIZE US (WITHOUT NOTICE TO YOU, UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW) TO COLLECT THE THEN-APPLICABLE SUBSCRIPTION FEE AND ANY TAXES, USING ANY PAYMENT METHOD WE HAVE ON RECORD FOR YOU.
You may cancel an Amazon-Sold Subscription Product at any time. To avoid the next charge, you must cancel before the next renewal date.

Qualifications & exceptions

  • Charges may go to any payment method Amazon has on record, not only the one used at purchase.
  • Applies only to subscriptions sold by Amazon; third-party-billed subscriptions follow the third party's billing terms.

If every payment method on file is declined the subscription is canceled, but you still owe uncollected amounts

If all payment methods Amazon has on file for you are declined for your subscription fees, your Amazon-Sold subscription is canceled unless you give Amazon a new payment method. If Amazon cannot charge your payment method for any reason, such as expiration or insufficient funds, and you have not canceled, you remain responsible for any uncollected amounts and Amazon may keep trying to charge that payment method.
