Sales Tax
All Riverbed resellers (e.g. resellers, distributors, system integrators, and any other partner who purchases Riverbed products and services for resale to third parties) must comply with the sales tax requirements below. If you fail to timely provide the information requested below, Riverbed may (a) charge you sales tax on resale transactions, and/or (b) suspend accepting orders and any further shipments to you and your customers.
For all sales shipped within the US, the sales tax requirements are shown below. Even if you are not registered in the US or in a specific state, you must adhere to these requirements or pay the taxes charged on the invoice.
Riverbed is required to charge sales tax in US jurisdictions it operates in. However, Riverbed will not charge sales tax when it receives a properly completed certificate stating the sale is for resale. The resale certificate must be properly completed and conform to state law requirements. Riverbed will not accept a resale certificate that has not been fully completed. For example, a completed resale certificate generally includes the following:
- Name and address of the seller (i.e., Riverbed Technology);
- Your full legal name, address and other relevant information requested on the form;
- Description of your business;
- Description of the products being resold under the certificate, i.e., Riverbed's products (hardware and software), services and support;
- Resale permit number from the state or "no nexus" statement with home state registration number if relevant and acceptable;
- Certification under penalty of perjury that property or services are being procured for resale; and
- Signed and dated by an authorized officer of your company with title.
If you are registered in a state the products are being shipped to, please provide your in-state registration number on the required form. If you are not registered in the state of shipment, then some states allow you to provide your home state registration number or VAT/GST number provided you do not have "nexus" in the state. If so, you must provide on the required form the following:
- Your state of registration, i.e., if California, 'CA';
- Your home state registration number, i.e., 12345678; and
- A statement you have no nexus or physical presence in the state, i.e., "no nexus."
Many states require you to register in the state and you can not provide anything other than the state's registration number.
When a reseller can not provide sufficient documentation, then the reseller must either:
- Pay the sales taxes;
- Request that the product to be shipped to a location where the reseller can supply a resale certificate for; or
- Register with the state in order to provide Riverbed a completed resale certificate.
Additionally, if you plan on exporting the product and are requesting Riverbed to ship to your logistics provider located in the United States, we will charge sales tax unless you provide sufficient documentation as required by law in the state you are requesting us to ship to. Please contact your sales representative or the Riverbed tax department (tax@riverbed.com) for further information.
