Caveats

  • • Startbutton's MoR/reseller claim is official, but tax/liability language is less comprehensive than mature global MoRs.
  • • Named EU VAT, UK VAT, US sales tax, Canada GST/HST and Australia GST coverage were not substantiated in public official docs.
  • • Seller-country coverage is not clearly published.
  • • Strongest verified coverage is African/local payment collection and payout infrastructure.
