Longstanding Amazon Insurance Information
Effective September 1, 2021 Amazon WILL enforce the long-standing insurance requirement that a Professional Seller Account with sales over $10,000/month will be required to have an insurance policy on file. This has always been in the Terms of Service Agreement, but never enforced by Amazon.
Included in the new requirement it states that the seller shall:
-
Obtain a Commercial General Liability policy of at least $1,000,000
-
That policy must also include Products Liability coverage (Products/Completed Operations)
-
Be an Occurrence Form Policy
-
Company Rating of A- or better
-
Must cover all sales from products listed on Amazon
-
Name Amazon.com Services LLC and its affiliates and assignees as additional insureds
-
If a deductible is included it shall be less than $10,000
