# Amazon Conditions of Use carry Agent Terms requiring agents to self-identify

In short

Amazon's Conditions of Use, last updated 14 Aug 2026, include Agent Terms: any software acting for a person must identify itself in every HTTP request with the user agent 'Agent/\[agent name\]', must not mimic human input or solve CAPTCHAs. The matrix entry to read next is Link for agents on Meta Muse, which is live as of 4 Nov 2026.

## What was reported

Amazon's Conditions of Use, last updated 14 Aug 2026, include Agent Terms: any software acting for a person must identify itself in every HTTP request with the user agent 'Agent/\[agent name\]', must not mimic human input or solve CAPTCHAs, and must stop when Amazon asks. Amazon later relied on these terms to block Meta's Muse.
