Amazon Icon in menu?

Is it permissible to put an Amazon icon like the following: https://www.iconfinder.com/icons/167681/amazon_icon next to a menu item? The menu item is a link to search Amazon. The choice I have is: Books like this... or Books like this (Amazon).... ie. messy text vs clear icon.

Thanks for that, but unfortunately it only talks about restrictions on links via web pages, icons on the store and the main app icon, the app title, as well as icons for advertizing. My question pertains to an internal menu within the app; the menu item in question results in a searching Amazon and it would be good to use the "a" icon for the menu item icon. Since this is not part of the advertising or a web site, it was unclear if it was forbidden or acceptable.

Ah, OK. The app has been approved, but I was not sure how rigorous the checking was. Can I assume that, if it has been approved, then the usage is acceptable? I can also easily remove the icons if necessary, but it looks *much* better with them in place.
