Best Buy Tax Exempt Customer Program — Terms and Conditions

Membership.

The Best Buy Tax Exempt Customer Program (“the Program”) is brought to you by Best Buy Stores, L.P. and its affiliates (“Best Buy”) and is made available to members of qualifying organizations in the United States and Puerto Rico that are exempt from sales tax. By registering for the Program, you represent that you or your organization is exempt from sales tax and that by transacting business with Best Buy, you or your organization agrees to the terms and conditions of the Program. Best Buy is not responsible for ensuring that you honor any policies your organization may have concerning exempt purchases of items using your organization’s funds. The Tax Exempt Customer Account Number (“Account” or “Account Number”) is issued in the name of an individual or a member of an organization and is subject to present and future program rules (which Best Buy may change at any time with or without notice to Account holders). The Account Number is valid at Best Buy store locations in the United States (50 states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico), BestBuy.com, the Best Buy Mobile App, and select Magnolia and Pacific Sales locations, and through Best Buy Business and other Best Buy affiliates (“Best Buy Locations”).

Qualification.

Registration on BestBuy.com is required prior to participating in the Best Buy Tax Exempt Customer Program. Resellers, private educational institutions and public educational institutions must obtain a BestBuy.com business account prior to participating in the Program. You must provide and maintain a valid email address to participate in the Program, and you acknowledge that Best Buy will communicate with you via email.

To qualify under the Program, you must supply a valid sales tax exemption certificate or other acceptable documentation required by the tax authority of the state in which you are claiming exemption. Best Buy reserves the right to review and reject documentation that is determined to be invalid at its sole discretion.

Employees of Best Buy, and others who are eligible for employee-based discounts, are not eligible to participate in the Program unless they are purchasing as a qualifying non-resident, Native American or Oklahoma disabled veteran, or if there is a separate affiliation with a qualifying tax-exempt organization and the employee-based discount is not utilized in the same transaction.

Transferability.

Accounts are nontransferable. Best Buy is not responsible for lost correspondence or any failure in communication between Best Buy and any Account holder due to a change of organization address or other contact information. Other restrictions or exclusions may apply.

Purchases.

The Account may be used to purchase eligible products or services without having sales tax calculated (subject to any local taxing jurisdiction’s regulations or requirements) at Best Buy Locations. You may be notified if your Account has or will become expired based on the tax jurisdiction in which you or your organization is registered. If your Account has expired at the time of a purchase, you will be charged sales tax on that purchase. To reactivate your Account, you will need to sign in to your profile on BestBuy.com and upload a new valid exemption certificate(s).

Non-qualifying items.

The Account may not be valid to make tax-exempt purchases of certain goods or services as specified by the tax jurisdiction in which you or your organization is registered. Federal Government Account holders will be required to pay for their purchases using a credit card that is designated as a government credit card. Use of an Account associated with a tax-exempt organization to make a tax-exempt purchase will constitute such Account holder’s acknowledgement and agreement that the purchase is being made on behalf of the organization with organization funds. Other exclusions may apply.

Cancellation, modification, expiration and termination.

You may cancel your Account at any time by notifying Best Buy by email at [email protected]. Cancellation may take up to 5 business days to finalize. Best Buy may, at any time, terminate or modify the Program rules. Best Buy reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to cancel your Account at any time for any use of the Program that is invalid or in contravention of Best Buy’s policies. Account status may expire periodically, based on the tax jurisdiction(s) in which you or your organization is registered.
