Certification Program Policy

These Amazon Advertising Certification Program Guidelines (“Program Guidelines”) govern your participation in the Amazon Advertising Certification Program (the “Program”). As used in these Program Guidelines, “You” and “your” means the individual learning console learner.

1. Participation in the Program

1.1. Generally. To obtain an Amazon Advertising Certification (“Certification”) and participate in the Program, you must (a) take the applicable Certification Assessment(s) and receive a passing score as determined by Amazon Ads, (b) complete any other requirements that may be implemented from time to time, and (c) adhere to all laws, rules, and regulations applicable to the Program, including these Program Guidelines (collectively, with (a), the “Certification Requirements”). Certification through this Program will only be issued to individual learning console learners who meet the Certification Requirements. Third parties, including but not limited to employers, representatives, associates, or agents, are not entitled to the privileges granted to you under these Program Guidelines.

1.2. Use of Name and Logo. Subject to these Program Guidelines and your completion of and continued compliance with the applicable Certification Requirements, we grant you a limited, revocable, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to display the name of the specific Certification and any related trademarks, service marks or trade names, logos, or other designations of Amazon that we make available to you in connection with the Program (together, the “Marks”) on your website and in your materials (e.g., in any printed material, mailing or other document, or social media channels, including but not limited to Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, and Instagram) solely to identify your successful completion of the Certification Requirements. For avoidance of doubt, we may revoke the foregoing license at any time for any reason. You may only use the Marks in accordance with the Trademark Use Guidelines attached hereto as Schedule A (which may may be updated from time to time) and any other applicable guidelines that we make available. You may not identify yourself as an “expert” in relation to Amazon or its advertising services. Any use of the Marks outside the scope of the foregoing license requires our prior written permission. You will not modify or create derivative works of the Marks. Amazon retains ownership of the Marks. You may not use the Marks to disparage Amazon, Amazon Ads or the Program or in a manner which we determine may diminish or otherwise damage or tarnish Amazon’s goodwill in the Marks. All goodwill arising from your use of the Marks will inure to Amazon’s benefit. Any license granted to you in these Program Guidelines will immediately and automatically terminate if you do not comply with any term or condition of these Program Guidelines or if you fail to comply with the Certification Requirements.

1.3. Your Responsibilities. At all times when you are holding yourself out as the recipient of an Certification or otherwise participating in the Program, you will (a) conduct your activities in a professional and competent manner; (b) comply with all applicable laws, regulations and orders of any governmental or regulatory authority; (c) promote Amazon Ads in a manner that maintains the good name and reputation of Amazon Ads; (d) not make any representations, warranties, or guarantees to third parties with respect to Amazon Ads or the specifications, features, or capabilities of any Amazon Ads product or service; (e) not misrepresent or embellish your relationship with Amazon Ads; and (f) not engage in any illegal, false or deceptive acts or practices.

1.4. Associating your account with an Amazon Ads Partner Network account.

By associating your account with an Amazon Ads Partner Network account, this information will be shared with your organization and its designated representatives. Your organization and designated individuals will have the ability to disassociate your learning console account from their Amazon Ads Partner Network account. You agree to release Amazon Ads from any and all liability for any of your learning console account information provided to or used by your organization and/or their representatives.
