I’m working on an application that will be available on many platforms, including Fire TV. It will be a streaming portal, where a lot of videos will be available to watch. However, some of them are paid and require the purchase of an additional package. Currently, the design looks like this: under such material it says “To view this material, please contact your service provider and purchase an add-on.”

Does this comply with Amazon’s terms and conditions? If not, how could the message be written in a way that does not violate the rules?
