Presentation of the card alone may not satisfy state laws for documenting exempt sales. The Account Holder agrees to supply any additional forms or documents required under state law at the time of purchase or pay the applicable sales tax. Account Holder certifies that if any tax-free purchases are used in such a way as to subject them to sales or use tax, Account Holder will inform Borders so the proper tax can be assessed, or Account Holder will pay the tax directly to the proper taxing authority as state law provides. This certification applies each time a purchase is made on the account.
