UltraSound TEE Express (Taxable line) TERMS AND CONDITIONS IN ACCORDANCE WITH SOLICITATION # RFQ-IS-26260741 ______________________ For internal use only: '**** WAREHOUSE USE ONLY CAPITAL ASSET EQUIPMENT **** ___________________; TEE Express Gold Service Agreement (50% Taxable line) Per vendor's response to solicitation RFQ-IS-26260741-1, the above item, the TEE Express Gold Service Agreement, is 50% taxable. Thus, sales tax is 4.875%, which is 50% of current sales rate of 9.75%. Note: According to the California Department of Tax and Fee Administration (CDTFA), the Gold Service Agreement for the Surgical Science TEE Express is partially taxable (50% taxable) or fully non-taxable (0% taxable) depending on how updates are delivered. Because Surgical Science does not publicly publish a binding tax determination for this specific contract, its tax status under CDTFA Regulation 1502 depends on three rigid criteria: (1) When It Is 50% Taxable If the Gold Service Agreement is optional and provides the user with any physical storage media (such as software updates delivered on a USB drive or CD-ROM) or if the software is delivered pre-installed on replacement hardware parts: <> Under CDTFA Regulation 1502(f)(1)(C), optional software maintenance agreements that include physical media are automatically 50% subject to California sales tax. <> The remaining 50% covering technical phone support, remote troubleshooting, and hardware repair labor is considered a tax-exempt service. (2) When It Is 100% Non-Taxable If the contract specifies that all software updates, patches, and cases (like the TEE Emergency Module) are delivered solely by electronic transmission: <> If updates are downloaded entirely over the internet or accessed via the cloud, and no physical goods change hands, the entire agreement is completely non-taxable. <> California does not tax purely digital software deliveries, standalone technical support, or optional hardware maintenance plans. (3) When It Is Fully Exempt (Regardless of Delivery) If the system is purchased by a non-profit medical school, a state university hospital, or a federal government healthcare facility: <> The transaction is 100% non-taxable provided your institution submits a valid California Sales Tax Exemption Certificate to Surgical Science during the invoicing process.; SHIPPING AND HANDLING (S&H) AS ONE (1) LOT FOR ALL ITEMS BID.
