This authorization will remain in effect while you have onsite Facebook checkout associated with your Page. If you delete your Facebook Page Shop or Shop or your Facebook account, the authorization will remain in effect for another 60 days before expiring. If you operate in a business capacity, you represent and warrant to us that the bank account you provided is a business deposit account and that such account is not used for any personal, family, or household purposes. You understand and agree that the initiation and transmission of each debit and credit will be subject to, and made in accordance with, applicable law and the operating rules of the relevant bank clearing system.

You are responsible for reviewing and determining the correct calculation settings, including your obligation to collect Applicable Taxes, tax nexus, product tax code assignments, and all related information for your products. The calculation of Applicable Taxes is based on your calculation settings and information you provide to Facebook for the jurisdiction(s) where you have an obligation to calculate, collect and remit Applicable Taxes.

You agree to provide information to us upon request in the time prescribed.
    5. Except as otherwise provided in these Seller Terms, you agree that we are not obligated to determine whether taxes apply, and we are not responsible to collect, report, or remit any taxes arising from any transaction.

We may translate this Agreement into languages other than English for your convenience, but to the extent there are any inconsistencies or conflict between those translations and the English version, the English version will control to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law. These Seller Terms will terminate with respect to your use of Facebook and Instagram’s Seller Commerce Features in the event of any termination of the Terms of Service or Instagram Terms of Use, as applicable, but the following provisions will still apply: the lead-in paragraph, Sections 5-21, 24, 25, 29 and this paragraph.
