Can Amazon pull money from me?
<p>Suppose I add my credit card to Amazon AWS service billing.</p>

<p>Suppose that some hacker interacts with my domain at Amazon in such a way to make me owed $1000 or $10000 to Amazon (deliberately to harm my finances).</p>

<p>Suppose Amazon exceeds my CC limit and I remove the card from Amazon and tell my bank to close the card.</p>

<p>Will Amazon be able to sue me and make me I pay the rest of the sum, even despite my credit card cannot be charged anymore?</p>

<p>The <a href="https://aws.amazon.com/agreement/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">customer agreement</a> requires you to have a valid form of payment, so deleting the card and closing the CC account would actually put you afoul of the agreement: it does not eliminate what you owe them. Unless you provide an alternative method of payment, or persuade them to waive the charges, their recourse for getting paid will be to sue you.</p>

<p>Disputing the charge with the credit card company is not likely to help in this case, since you did authorize use of the card, that is, Amazon is not fraudulently charging you. You might be able to shift the blame to Amazon, if they were negligent with respect to their security (this happens, and they are pretty good about owning up to their errors in my experience). Otherwise, they will presumably argue that you assumed a risk in setting up your account so that others could rack up large charges that you would be responsible for. </p>
