5.5 Taxes
OREGON HAS NO SALES OR USE TAX. Oregon is one of only five states that does not impose a general sales tax or use tax.

(b) Out-of-State Delivery. If the Equipment is delivered to a location outside Oregon, the Buyer may be subject to sales or use tax in the destination state. Buyer is solely responsible for any sales or use tax obligations in the destination jurisdiction.

Oregon imposes a Corporate Activity Tax on businesses with Oregon commercial activity exceeding $1,000,000, at a rate of 0.57% of commercial activity exceeding $1,000,000, after a $35 subtraction (ORS 317A). The CAT is the responsibility of Seller and is not separately passed through to Buyer.
(d) Federal Taxes. Each Party is solely responsible for its own federal tax obligations arising from this transaction.
6. DELIVERY, INSTALLATION, AND COMMISSIONING

EACH PARTY HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY, AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY OREGON LAW, ANY RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT.
Oregon Practice Note: Oregon courts have not definitively addressed the enforceability of pre-dispute contractual jury waivers in commercial contracts. Article I, Section 17 of the Oregon Constitution guarantees the right to a jury trial "as it heretofore has been." While federal courts applying Oregon law have enforced such waivers, Oregon state courts have not ruled definitively on the issue in the commercial context. Practitioners should consider whether arbitration (Section 19.5) may be a more reliable alternative to a jury waiver if avoidance of jury trial is critical. Where a jury waiver is used, it should be conspicuous, mutual, and voluntarily agreed to by parties of equal bargaining power.

About This Template
A contract is a written record of what two or more parties agreed to and what happens if someone does not follow through. Clear language, defined terms, and clean signature blocks keep disputes small and enforceable. The most common mistakes in contracts come from vague promises, missing details about timing or payment, and skipping standard protective clauses like governing law and dispute resolution.
