Tax & Tax Exempt

The Cary Company is required to charge tax on all applicable orders. The amount of tax displayed at the time of checkout is an estimate based on many factors including but not limited to the type of item or service purchased, the shipment or delivery address, and the time and location of fulfillment. As these factors are subject to change, tax may be adjusted between the time the order is placed and when the order is finalized. Final taxes will be calculated at the time your order is billed. You will be responsible for paying any applicable taxes relating to your purchases.

The Cary Company collects the Simplified Sellers Use Tax (SSUT) on taxable transactions delivered into Alabama. The SSUT program allows eligible sellers to apply a flat eight percent (8%) sellers use tax on all sales made into Alabama. The tax will be remitted on the customer’s behalf to the Alabama Department of Revenue under The Cary Company's SSUT account number: SSU-R011559473. Visit the SSUT Program's website for more information.

Tax exempt customers buying for the first time must provide a copy of your sales tax exemption certificate. We are required to verify your business registration and eligibility for sales tax exemption as part of our review prior to your order being released. Please remember that you must use your registered account to make tax exempt purchases. Orders placed using an account not registered as tax exempt are taxable and cannot be reversed.

SMS Arbitration Clause

Arbitration & Class Action Waiver

Please read this carefully. It affects your rights. Any dispute or claim relating in any way to your use of The Cary Company's services will be resolved by binding arbitration, rather than court. 

This agreement to arbitrate is intended to be broadly interpreted, and expressly includes claims brought under the Telephone Consumer Protection Act, 47 U.S.C. § 227 et seq., or any other statute, regulation, or legal or equitable theory. You and The Cary Company hereby agree that the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. 1, et seq. ("FAA") applies to this agreement to arbitrate, and governs all questions of whether a dispute is subject to arbitration. Unless you and we agree otherwise in writing, arbitration shall be administered by the American Arbitration Association’s Consumer Arbitration Rules in effect at the time of filing of the arbitration (the "AAA's Rules"). However, just as a court would, the arbitrator or arbitrators must honor the terms and limitations in this Agreement, and can award damages and relief (including any attorneys’ fees) authorized by law and/or the AAA's Rules. The arbitration decision and award is final and binding, with some exceptions under the FAA, and judgment on the award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.  YOU AGREE THAT, BY ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT, YOU AND THE CARY COMPANY ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY AND THE RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN ANY CLASS, REPRESENTATIVE, OR COLLECTIVE PROCEEDING.

THIS AGREEMENT DOES NOT ALLOW FOR CLASS ARBITRATIONS EVEN IF THE PROCEDURES OR RULES OF THE AAA WOULD.  RATHER, YOU AND WE ARE ONLY ENTITLED TO PURSUE ARBITRATION ON AN INDIVIDUAL, BILATERAL BASIS.  FURTHER, AND UNLESS YOU AND The Cary Company AGREE OTHERWISE IN WRITING, THE ARBITRATOR(S) MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE MORE THAN ONE INDIVIDUAL PARTY'S CLAIMS WITH ANY OTHER PARTY'S CLAIMS, AND MAY NOT OTHERWISE PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF A REPRESENTATIVE OR COLLECTIVE PROCEEDING. You and The Cary Company are each responsible for our respective costs relating to counsel, experts, and witnesses, as well as any other costs relating to the arbitration. The Cary Company, however, will pay for the arbitration administrative or filing fees, including the arbitrator and/or other AAA case management fees, for any claim seeking $75,000 or less, unless the claim is determined by the arbitrator to be frivolous. Otherwise, the AAA’s Rules regarding costs and payment apply.

This agreement to arbitrate does not preclude you from bringing issues to the attention of federal, state, or local agencies. Such agencies can, if the law allows, seek relief against us on your behalf.

If any term of this Section (Arbitration and Class Action Waiver) is to any extent illegal, otherwise invalid, or incapable of being enforced, such term shall be excluded to the extent of such invalidity or unenforceability; all other terms hereof shall remain in full force and effect; and, to the extent permitted and possible, the invalid or unenforceable term shall be deemed replaced by a term that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of such invalid or unenforceable term. If application of this Severability provision should materially and adversely affect the economic substance of the transactions contemplated hereby, the Party adversely impacted shall be entitled to compensation for such adverse impact, provided the reason for the invalidity or unenforceability of a term is not due to serious misconduct by the Party seeking such compensation.
