Shopify Tax Terms of Service
Last updated: August 1, 2024
By using Shopify Tax, you are agreeing to be bound by these Shopify Tax Terms of Service (“Tax Terms”), which are applicable to all regions where Shopify Tax is made available, in addition to the Shopify Terms of Service and the Shopify Privacy Policy. As used in these Tax Terms, “we”, “our”, “us” or “Shopify” means Shopify Inc. and its Affiliates, where “Affiliates” means any entity that directly or indirectly controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with Shopify Inc. “Merchant”, “you” or “your” means any individual or legal entity that uses Shopify Tax. Other capitalized terms have the meaning set forth herein.
Please read these Tax Terms carefully, as they are a legally binding agreement between you and Shopify. By using Shopify Tax on your Store, you agree to be bound by these Tax Terms. Any new features or tools which are added to the current Shopify Tax offering shall also be subject to these Tax Terms.
Shopify reserves the right to update and change these Tax Terms by posting updates and changes to the Shopify website, and such amendments to the Tax Terms are effective as of the date of posting. We may update these Tax Terms from time to time, so please check back for any changes that may impact you. Your continued use of Tax Terms after the amended Tax Terms are posted constitutes your agreement to, and your acceptance of, the amended Tax Terms. If you do not accept any such updates or changes, you must stop using Shopify Tax.
