I also noticed the numerous typos in the contract; a couple within a single clause here:

> if its (sic) a PC game made available for sale, I will submit it for sate (sic) on the Amazon platform

I don't know if that's really evidence it's not a genuine Amazon contract, though. It could be that this was typed up based on a hard copy or something like that.

It was originally shared on Twitter as an image[1], and that version doesn't appear to include any typos I can spot (the "wilt", "its", and "sate" typos are certainly missing). I'm assuming TechRaptor OCRed the image, and that introduced the errors.

OCRing it via https://www.onlineocr.net/ produces some similar typos ("if its a PC game made available for sate, I will submit it for sate on the Amazon platform"; "Amazon wilt not [...] Amazon wilt never be liable"), so I'm guessing this or a similar tool was used and not fully cleaned up.

Edit: combined duplicate comment and added onlineocr.net

Ahh - that makes a lot of sense. Thank you. Can you link the image?

The link to the Twitter image is in the article near the top of the page.
