| "Nexus" Definition: |
Nexus is the legal term which means connection to the state through a
physical presence. The regular presence of a single sales person is enough to create tax nexus, therefore requiring
the collection of sales tax for all transactions with that state.

| "Sales Tax" Definition: |
A sales tax is a levy placed by states on goods or services purchased from a business that has a physical
presence in the same state as the consumer.
|
| "Use Tax" Definition: |
A use tax is a compensating tax imposed by states to collect taxes
on sales which do not take place in their state. The tax is meant to insure that all purchases are taxed, whether
purchased locally or from out of state sellers. The use tax is usually the customer’s responsibility to pay, but is
increasingly being collected by vendors on their behalf to ensure tax compliance.

Attention: Purchasers are responsible for knowing if they qualify to claim exemption from tax in the state that would otherwise be due tax on this sale. The seller may be required to provide this exemption certificate (or the data elements required on the form) to a state that would otherwise be due tax on this sale. The purchaser will be held liable for any tax and interest, and possibly civil and criminal penalties imposed by the state, if the purchaser is not eligible to claim this exemption. A seller may not accept a certificate of exemption for an entity-based exemption on a sale made at a location operated by the seller within the designated state if the state does not allow such an entity-based exemption. |
