AWS Terms and Conditions
Quick items to note:
Make 1 call per second per IP
Don't resell our data
Link Amazon properties to our site
If using a product review, you should have a link on the page to Amazon.com
For full information about terms of use, please see the AWS licensing Agreement
Question: What about the one hit per second limitation? What are associates doing about it? Are they just not getting enough traffic for this to matter?
Answer: Some values can be cached for up to three months.
Question: What about multiple customers browsing our site at the same time?
Answer: If you are doing known products, you can cache the items... This definitely is an issue, and maybe we should have a followup talking about best practices
Notes:
Reselling our data would violate our caching clause.
Properties means every piece of information that you get from Amazon. It needs to be clear the information comes from Amazon, and there needs to be a clear link to Amazon.
Question: What about our other relationships with big bricks and mortar companies, they would not be happy if we gave "buy" buttons all over our website prefering a small e-tailer like Amazon
Answer: A text link to Amazon would be fine.
