I can't speak for where you are but here, any contract you sign for internet services, stock broking, financial services, insurance etc all are full of similarly ridiculous clauses. At one point if my stock broker went down I was liable for as many costs as the receivers saw fit to take from me. When I signed I scratched that bit out although my lawyer said that such clauses are so ridiculous that no sensible court of law would uphold them and they are largely unenforcable.... ah but that would be my UK lawyer, of course. Hmm... now I have spotted a flaw.
Never mind. I've made £69 from my book in two years, I doubt Amazon will be coming after me just yet. Also, since the programme doesn't sit 100% comfortably with my ethics I'm only giving it a 3 month trial to see what happens because I make no sales anywhere else. If it doesn't work. I can and will opt out.
Finally, the few things I can see that might make a difference probably won't because they rely on fellow KDPS members joining me in a cluster and er hem... well... frankly no-one will.
Dinnae fret.

If it makes a difference I'll have to put the odd book in every now and again.
