Substance Law provides legal services to Amazon sellers, brand owners, and e-commerce businesses operating in Canada and internationally. We advise clients on regulatory compliance, account issues, intellectual property protection, and commercial risks associated with selling on Amazon.
Selling on Amazon involves more than just listing products. Sellers must comply with platform policies, Canadian laws, intellectual property rules, and consumer protection requirements. Legal issues can arise quickly and may result in account suspension, product removal, or loss of revenue if not addressed properly.
We assist Amazon sellers at all stages—from launching a brand to resolving enforcement actions and protecting marketplace rights.

These issues often involve both Amazon’s internal policies and external legal frameworks, requiring a coordinated approach.

Amazon may suspend or deactivate seller accounts for a wide range of reasons, including policy violations, product complaints, or suspected infringement.
We assist sellers with:
- reviewing suspension notices

We advise sellers on:
