Amazon sued in Australia over Prime Video ads and contract terms
Amazon faces a lawsuit in Australia alleging that ads added to Prime Video and certain contract provisions breach consumer protection law.
Amazon is being sued in Australia over the introduction of advertisements to its Prime Video service and alleged unfair contract terms, according to multiple news outlets. The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) alleges that Amazon breached Australian consumer protection law by including unfair contract terms in its Prime subscriptions.
According to the ACCC, the unfair contract terms allowed Amazon to unilaterally make negative changes during the contract period without offering subscribers a remedy. The ACCC also states that Amazon introduced ads to Prime Video in Australia in July 2024, relying on one or more of the unfair contract terms.
The ACCC is seeking penalties against Amazon, along with compensation for affected consumers, as reported by the Hindustan Times.
