Terms of Service | Sales Tax Hero

Welcome to Sales Tax Hero’s website. Sales Tax hero provides this website and the related websites, including all Content (as defined in Section 5) and services (the “Sites”), as a service to our users. Your use of the Sites is subject to the following terms and conditions (the “Site Terms”).

Please read these Site Terms carefully. These Site Terms are a legal agreement between Sales Tax Hero, LLC. and its affiliates (collectively, “Sales Tax Hero”) and you, and the Site Terms govern your use of the Sites. By accessing or using the Sites, you agree to be bound by these Site Terms and all additional terms incorporated by reference in these Site Terms. If you do not agree to all of these terms, you must not access or use the Sites.

We periodically update these Site Terms, so you must regularly review them. We will post the effective date of any updates at the beginning of these Site Terms. By continuing to use the Sites or Site Services after an update, you agree to the terms of the update.

Service Terms. Sales Tax Hero offers some additional software and services on the Sites under specific terms and conditions (for example, the Sales Tax Hero Service Terms and Conditions available at https://www.salestaxhero.com/terms-conditions). Those terms and conditions are referred to in these Site Terms as the “Service Terms,” and your use of such software and services is governed by the applicable Service Terms. If there is any conflict between these Site Terms and the applicable Service Terms relating to the use of those software or services, the Service Terms will govern. If no Service Terms apply to the software or services, then these Site Terms, in particular Section 2 below, and the applicable order document govern your use of the software or services.
Site Services. Some of the Sites offer paid services for which there are no Service Terms. Such services are the “Site Services” and these Site Terms govern our offering and your use of the Site Services. By purchasing access to the Site Services, you agree to (a) pay the applicable service fees for the Site Services and (b) use the Site Services in compliance with any documentation we provide to you that is applicable to the Site Services. Sales Tax Hero may terminate your use of the Site Services at any time, for any or no reason, and without prior notice. If Sales Tax Hero terminates your access to the Site Services for any reason other than your breach of these Site Terms, then as your sole remedy for such termination, Sales Tax Hero will refund a pro rata amount of any unused, prepaid fees.
No Professional Tax Opinion or Legal Advice. You acknowledge and agree that Sales Tax Hero does not provide legal advice, including legal or professional tax opinions or management advice. Although Sales Tax Hero strives to ensure that data and information contained in the Site Services are current, Sales Tax Hero is dependent on third parties, such as state and local governmental agencies, to timely update and provide information that affect such data and information. AS SUCH, YOU AGREE THAT YOU USE AND RELY UPON THE CONTENT AND SITE SERVICES AT YOUR OWN RISK AND YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT SALES TAX HERO CANNOT GUARANTEE THAT ANY DATA AND INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THE SITE SERVICES IS ACCURATE OR CURRENT. In addition, due to rapidly changing tax rates and regulations that require interpretation by your qualified tax professionals, you bear full responsibility to determine the applicability of the output generated by the Site Services and to confirm its accuracy. You are responsible for your own tax policies and tax reporting positions, and for conducting your own due diligence. You are encouraged to conduct due diligence and seek the assistance of qualified tax counsel or accounting professionals on matters requiring professional advice.
