Sales Tax Policy

1) General Overview

Quinn Slides collects sales tax in jurisdictions where we are required to do so by applicable law, including state and local tax laws based on factors such as nexus, destination, product type, and taxability rules. Because tax rules vary by jurisdiction and may change over time, the tax shown at checkout or on an invoice may differ depending on the shipping address, billing address, items purchased, and applicable law at the time of the transaction.

• Sales tax may apply to product purchases, shipping-related charges, handling charges, and other taxable transaction components where required by law.
• Taxability may vary by state, county, city, district, and special taxing authority.
• Tax rates and tax rules may change without prior notice due to legislative or regulatory updates.

2) How Sales Tax Is Calculated

Sales tax is generally calculated based on the destination of the order and the tax rules in effect at the time the order is processed, shipped, billed, or invoiced, as required by applicable law.

3) Charges That May Be Taxable

Depending on the jurisdiction, sales tax may be applied to one or more of the following:

• Product purchase price
• Shipping, freight, or delivery charges
• Handling, packaging, or processing charges
• Installation-related charges, assembly-related charges, or service components, if offered and taxable under applicable law
• Certain surcharges or mandatory fees associated with the transaction

Not all charges are taxable in every jurisdiction. Taxability is determined based on applicable law where the order is delivered or otherwise sourced.

4) Estimated Tax at Checkout

Any sales tax shown at checkout is generally an estimate based on the information available at that time. The final tax charged may be adjusted if necessary based on:

• address corrections or changes,
• split shipments or partial fulfillment,
• updated tax jurisdiction mapping,
• changes in the taxable amount,
• or applicable legal requirements at the time of invoicing or shipment.

5) Tax-Exempt Purchases

If you believe your purchase qualifies for a sales tax exemption, you must provide valid and complete exemption documentation before the order is finalized or before tax is due, unless otherwise required by law.

• Examples may include resale certificates, government exemption documentation, or nonprofit exemption certificates, where legally valid.
• Exemption documents must be applicable to the jurisdiction, purchaser, and type of purchase involved.
• We may review submitted documents and accept or reject them based on legal sufficiency and operational verification.
• If valid exemption documentation is not provided in time, tax may be charged and remitted as required by law.

If tax is charged on an order that you believe should have been exempt, contact us at info@quinnslides.com. Where permitted by law, and if appropriate documentation is provided, we may either issue a tax refund or direct you to seek a refund from the relevant taxing authority.

6) Resale Certificates & Business Purchases

Business customers purchasing for resale must provide a valid resale certificate or other legally sufficient exemption document before tax is removed from an order. Submission of a certificate does not automatically guarantee exemption.

• The certificate must be current, complete, signed if required, and valid for the products and state involved.
• We may retain exemption documentation for recordkeeping and compliance purposes.
• You are responsible for the accuracy of exemption claims you submit.

7) Marketplace or Third-Party Sales

This Sales Tax Policy applies to purchases made directly through the Quinn Slides website unless otherwise stated. If you purchase Quinn Slides products through a third-party marketplace, platform, distributor, or reseller, that third party may have its own tax collection practices and policies.

8) Returns, Refunds & Tax Adjustments

If a return or refund is approved, any sales tax refund will generally be handled in accordance with applicable law and the nature of the original transaction.

• If the full purchase price is refunded, the corresponding tax may also be refunded where required and where the tax was actually collected and not otherwise retained by a taxing authority.
• If only part of the order is refunded, the tax refund may be prorated based on the taxable amount refunded.
• If a return is denied or only partially approved, the related tax adjustment may also be limited accordingly.
• Some tax amounts may need to be claimed directly from the taxing authority if required by law or administrative procedure.

9) Tax Errors, Corrections & Adjustments

We strive to calculate sales tax accurately, but errors may occasionally occur due to system limitations, rate changes, product mapping issues, exemption processing delays, address validation issues, or changes in law.

• If too little tax is collected, we may charge the correct additional amount to the extent permitted by law.
• If too much tax is collected, we may issue a refund or credit where appropriate and legally permitted.
• We reserve the right to correct tax treatment on orders when necessary to comply with applicable tax rules.

10) Sales Tax Holidays

Certain jurisdictions occasionally offer sales tax holidays or temporary exemptions for qualifying goods. Unless explicitly stated by us in writing, we do not guarantee that a product will qualify for any sales tax holiday.

• Eligibility depends on applicable law, product classification, price thresholds, timing, and jurisdiction-specific rules.
• If a sales tax holiday applies by law to your purchase, we will make commercially reasonable efforts to apply the correct treatment.

11) Customer Responsibilities

You are responsible for providing accurate purchase, billing, shipping, and exemption information. You are also responsible for any taxes not collected by us but legally owed by you, including use tax where applicable.

• Please review your order confirmation and invoice carefully.
• If you believe tax was applied incorrectly, contact us promptly with supporting details.
• If you are unsure about your own tax obligations, please consult a qualified tax professional or the appropriate taxing authority.

12) Recordkeeping & Compliance

We may maintain records relating to tax calculations, invoices, exemption documents, and tax-related communications as necessary for compliance, audit support, customer service, and legal obligations.

13) Changes to This Policy

We may update this Sales Tax Policy from time to time to reflect changes in law, business practices, tax obligations, or website functionality. Changes become effective when posted unless otherwise required by law.
