NODO Sales Tax and Delivery Location Policy
Overview
NODO complies with all applicable state and local tax laws. The collection of sales tax depends on the destination of the shipment or where the customer takes possession of the product.
The information in this document does not apply to purchase through a reseller. Contact the reseller directly to discuss tax estimates.
Sales Within California
If your order is shipped to an address within California or picked up directly from our facility (either by yourself or an authorized representative), NODO is legally required to collect and remit California sales tax.
Sales tax is calculated based on the delivery or pickup location’s local tax rate, which may include state, county, and district taxes.
Customers who arrange their own pickup (including freight forwarding from our location) are considered to have taken possession in California and will be charged California sales tax.
Sales Shipped Outside of California
If your order is shipped to a destination outside of California, NODO does not collect sales tax on that transaction.
It is the customer’s responsibility to determine and pay any applicable use tax or local sales tax in their jurisdiction.
NODO’s responsibility for sales tax ends when the order is shipped and ownership transfers to the customer or carrier for out-of-state delivery.
Third-Party Freight and Forwarding
If a customer hires a third-party freight company to pick up an order in California on their behalf, the transaction is still considered a California sale and is subject to California sales tax, since possession occurs within the state.
International Taxes, Duties, Tariffs, and VAT
Some international destinations may collect import duties, tariffs, and/or value added taxes (VAT).
These taxes are not NODO’s responsibility to collect or estimate.
Customers purchasing internationally should be aware of any local taxes or import charges that may be billed prior to customs clearance or after taking receipt of the goods.
In many locations, NODO has partner companies that can act as importers of record to help expedite importing, estimate taxes in advance, or facilitate purchasing locally.
Customers interested in these options should contact sales@nodo.film for assistance.
Software Licenses
Certain NODO products include software-based features sold as license keys or installable software modules.
These items are delivered digitally and do not have sales tax, tariffs, or import duties applied to them.
Software licenses are activated electronically and are considered fulfilled upon successful delivery of the license key or digital package.
Business Purchases and Resale Certificates
Qualified California businesses purchasing items for resale may provide a valid California Resale Certificate (Form CDTFA-230) prior to the sale to exempt the transaction from sales tax.
Resale certificates must be fully completed and approved before invoicing or delivery.
However, a valid reseller permit does not automatically grant tax exemption or reseller status with NODO.
NODO only authorizes select resellers at its own discretion. If a purchaser intends to resell NODO products, they must contact NODO in advance to apply for and receive a reseller contract, if NODO chooses to grant one. Unauthorized resale may result in denied tax exemption and termination of purchase privileges.
