Sales Tax:  For certain purchases made via the Site, we are required to collect sales tax. In states or regions that impose sales or use tax, a purchase is subject to tax unless specifically exempt. Purchases from the Site are not exempt from sales or use taxes simply because they are made from the Internet or because we are not required to collect sales or use tax by any particular state or region. Whether any sales tax will be collected on a given purchase and the amount of tax charged depends on a number of factors including whether we are subject to tax in a given jurisdiction. You are responsible for any applicable taxes not collected by us and certain states require you to file a sales/use tax return annually reporting taxable purchases that were not taxed and to pay such tax. For details, see the website of, or otherwise contact, the applicable taxing authority. If any sales tax will be collected directly by us in connection with a purchase, that amount will be shown either prior to the completion of any purchase or reflected in the final confirmation of that purchase.

For Oklahoma purchasers, applicable use tax on purchases made via the Site may be reported and paid on an Oklahoma individual income tax return [Form 511] or by filing a consumer use tax return [Form 21-1].
