"Amazon wilt [sic]..." this typo in the putative official contract quoted here and in the OP actually makes me suspicious that this is a true cut and paste of an official contract. Lawyers are many things but typo-prone is not generally one of them.

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/ 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.

'Wilt' is an archaic version of the word 'will', frequently used in legal documents. "singular form of the present tense (indicative mood) of will"

  Considering there are a number of other typos and `will' is used consistently everywhere else in the document, I think `wilt' is an error. Personally, I don't think I've ever seen the word used in that way in a legal document (in America--no idea if it's more common in the UK or elsewhere).

    I totally agree that the credibility of the text is questionable. I just wanted to point out the use of 'wilt' is acceptable (in the UK).

disagree. have read many things handed to me by a lawyer, and typos and inconsistencies are something I have found regularly.
