Amazon (as a retailer)
In short
Amazon's Conditions of Use treat any software acting for a person as an agent and require it to put Agent/ and its name in the user agent string, to answer truthfully when asked whether it is a computer, and not to dodge blocking measures. Amazon may limit agents by technical means. It accepts no ACP or UCP checkout.
