You must collect, report, and/or pay the correct amounts to the appropriate authorities, if applicable, and if needed, inform your customers about any taxes they may be required to pay and issue appropriate invoices. While some ecommerce features allow you to include sales taxes or other taxes in transactions, you should not rely solely on these features to ensure tax being collected, or remitted to tax agencies, is accurate. We make no guarantees about third-party tax services. We recommend you consult an appropriate tax professional to review tax rates applied to orders, and they should inform you how to reconcile differences that may exist for your specific tax situation. CORKSY is not responsible for taxes not being correctly calculated on orders.

To the extent permitted by law, the remedies stated for you in this agreement are exclusive and you are limited to those expressly provided for herein. To the extent any state or jurisdiction does not allow the exclusion or the limitation of liability for consequential or incidental damages, our liability in such state or jurisdiction will be limited to the furthest extent permitted by law.
