The French subsidiary is sanctioned for “unfair” clauses in its contracts with merchants who sell products on its platform.
The Repression of Fraud (DGCCRF) announced on Wednesday that it was demanding payment from the giant Amazon of a penalty payment of 3.3 million euros for a "delay in bringing into compliance" its contracts with merchants who sell products on its platform.
The DGCCRF recalls that it had ordered Amazon, last December, to modify certain clauses “due in particular to a significant imbalance of these contractual conditions in favor of Amazon.
This injunction was accompanied by a penalty payment of 90,000 euros per day of delay”, and “the penalty payment” of 3.3 million euros corresponds to “a late return to compliance on April 28, 2022”.
