SoundSync
Current behavior
Public docs remain operationally conservative.
| Area | Implemented behavior | Boundary |
|---|---|---|
| Tax quote | POST /api/checkout/quote can create server tax quote when internal tax checkout is enabled. | Browser-supplied tax values are not authoritative. |
| Jurisdictions | GET /api/checkout/tax-jurisdictions lists checkout-supported countries. | Do not claim universal jurisdiction support. |
| Location evidence | Order records can store country/region/postal/quote metadata. | Do not expose sensitive tax evidence publicly. |
| Refund/dispute tax | Refund/dispute services and tax liability services track effects where enabled. | Exact legal treatment is not legal advice. |
| MoR | Docs describe current operating behavior and public checkout labels only. | Do not claim legal MoR coverage beyond the actual operating model. |
