    Hey guys!

    So, up until recently I have just been sending people a digital PDF of The Phoenix Journal or Phoenix Planner as an attachment with order confirmation on Amazon.

    Recently I decided to attach another PDF which has a link to video tutorials, where they just enter their email and get free access (nothing is being sold on the site, just videos hosted) - as well as a promotion telling them that they can tag PhoenixPlanner on IG with their testimonial for a 35% discount.

    Is any of this in violation of Amazon's terms?

    I greatly appreciate any help :)

    What if within my product photos/description it says that you get access to tutorial videos upon order? I have a competitor - Panda Planner - who links to a video tutorial site on the front page of his planner... but I don't think he sends it in a PDF.

    You cant divert any amazon customer info from their site to yours. Sure some people do it but they rarely get away with it.

    One way that people do get away with it is to incorporate their URL in their product labels or within the body of the product. (By way of a mold or imprint.)

    True I do this but I think it’s different cause I can’t imagine them asking for Nike or Sony to remove their logos and urls from their packaging
