h. Sales Tax.  For certain Sales, the USL Family is required to collect sales tax. In states or regions that impose sales or use tax, a purchase is subject to tax unless specifically exempt. Purchases made through the Services are not exempt from sales or use taxes simply because they are made from the internet or because the USL Family is not required to collect sales or use tax by any particular state or region. Whether any sales tax will be collected on a given purchase and the amount of tax charged depends on a number of factors including whether the seller is subject to tax in a given jurisdiction. The purchaser is responsible for any applicable taxes not collected by the USL Family.  Certain jurisdictions require purchasers to file a sales/use tax return annually reporting taxable purchases that were not taxed and to pay such tax. For details, see the website of, or otherwise contact, the applicable taxing authority. If any sales tax will be collected directly by the USL Family in connection with a purchase, that amount will be shown either prior to the completion of any purchase or reflected in the final confirmation of that purchase.  For Oklahoma purchasers, applicable use tax on Sales may be reported and paid on an Oklahoma individual income tax return [Form 511] or by filing a consumer use tax return [Form 21-1]. The referenced forms and corresponding instructions are available on the Oklahoma Tax Commission's Website.  For South Dakota purchasers, applicable sales or use taxes on Sales may be reported and paid on the South Dakota use tax form, available with corresponding instructions on the South Dakota Department of Revenue Website.

i. Access to a Subscription Service may be made available to you on a time-limited trial basis at no charge (“Trial Subscription”), and other than with respect to the payment terms set forth above, the Trial Subscription is subject to the same terms and conditions of use as set forth in this Terms of Services as those Subscription Services that are fee-based.
