(a) A dealer is presumed to have a representative, agent, salesperson, canvasser, or solicitor operating in this state for the purpose of making sales and is presumed to have a substantial nexus with this state if:

(1) The dealer enters into an agreement or contract with one (1) or more persons located in this state under which the person, for a commission or other consideration, directly or indirectly refers potential customers to the dealer, whether by a link on an internet website or any other means; and

(2) The dealer's cumulative gross receipts from retail sales made by the dealer to customers in this state who are referred to the dealer by all residents with this type of an agreement with the dealer exceed ten thousand dollars ($10,000) during the preceding twelve (12) months.

(b) The presumption in subsection (a) may be rebutted only by clear and convincing evidence that the person with whom the dealer has an agreement or contract did not conduct any activities in this state that would substantially contribute to the dealer's ability to establish and maintain a market in this state during the preceding twelve (12) months.
