The Client acknowledges that if they elect to remit state sales tax to various state departments of revenue during their HOST Filing Onboarding based on what they collect, HOST is not liable for any discrepancy between the amount collected and the amount calculated by multiplying gross sales figures by the appropriate tax rate. In such cases, the Client authorizes HOST to adjust gross sales figures on state sales tax returns to ensure that only the sales tax collected is reported.

4. If HOST is engaged for SKU mapping services, the Client acknowledges that any errors in mapping and any resulting liability will be the responsibility of the Client.

5. The Client acknowledges that if data is not received by the 5th of each month no later than 12:00 AM EST, the Peace of Mind Guarantee does not apply, and any penalties or interest resulting from past-due sales tax returns will be the Client’s responsibility.

Should payments be rejected by the state taxing authority for these reasons, the Client acknowledges that HOST is not responsible for remitting the liability amounts owed or any penalties and interest assessed.

If the Client fails to notify HOST within the deadline communicated each month, they acknowledge that HOST will file the amounts outlined in the Monthly Liability Summary for that month. Furthermore, the Client acknowledges that if they provide HOST with data from prior taxing periods, that data will not be added to the current filing period unless explicitly noted at the time it is provided.
