Website Terms of Service

1. Introduction and Acceptance

These Website Terms of Services (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of the website operated by Meridian Chemical Solutions LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Meridian,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), at https://mchemsol.com (the “Website”).

By accessing or using the Website, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, you must not access or use the Website.

If you access or use the Website on behalf of a company or other legal entity, you represent that you are authorized to accept these Terms on its behalf. In that case, “you” includes both you and that entity, as applicable.

These Terms govern use of the Website only. Any purchase, sale, supply, distribution, research, development, or other commercial transaction involving Meridian will be governed by a separate written agreement where applicable. If a separate written agreement conflicts with these Terms, the separate agreement will control with respect to the subject matter of that agreement.

2. Purpose and Scope of the Website

The Website provides general business and technical information about Meridian, its specialty chemical products, potential applications, and related business activities. It also allows business visitors to contact Meridian regarding product information, quotations, samples, technical discussions, distribution opportunities, and other commercial matters.

The Website is intended primarily for business-to-business use. Unless expressly stated otherwise in a separate written agreement, the Website and its contents are provided for general informational and business-development purposes only.

Nothing on the Website constitutes a binding offer to sell or supply any product, an offer to enter into a distribution or other commercial relationship, or a commitment to provide any particular quantity, specification, delivery date, price, or level of technical support.

Meridian may modify, suspend, discontinue, or restrict any part of the Website or its contents at any time, subject to applicable law.

3. Product Information and Technical Content

3.1 General Product Information

The Website may contain descriptions of chemical products, product characteristics, specifications, potential applications, technical data, research findings, illustrative examples, and other scientific or commercial information.

We endeavor to provide useful and reasonably accurate information. However, unless expressly agreed in writing, we do not warrant that Website content is complete, current, accurate, suitable for a particular purpose, or free from errors or omissions.

Product information, specifications, availability, and descriptions may change without notice. Any product specifications or other information expressly incorporated into a separate written agreement will be governed by that agreement.

3.2 Product Documents and Safety Information

The Website may make available product information sheets, specifications, Safety Data Sheets (“SDSs”), or other product-related documents. The availability of a document on the Website does not mean that it is suitable for every jurisdiction, use, or regulatory purpose.

Before purchasing, handling, transporting, storing, processing, testing, or using any chemical product, you must obtain and review the applicable, current SDS, product label, technical documentation, and other information required by applicable law. You must comply with all applicable chemical safety, workplace, transportation, environmental, labeling, and regulatory requirements.

You are responsible for determining whether a product is suitable for your intended use and whether the necessary facilities, equipment, training, permits, protective measures, and regulatory approvals are in place.

If you require product-specific safety or technical documentation, please contact Meridian before relying on the information for a commercial, operational, or regulatory decision.

3.3 Application Suggestions and Technical Discussions

Any application suggestions, technical comments, research information, or recommendations provided on the Website or through preliminary business communications are for informational purposes only, unless expressly incorporated into a written agreement signed by Meridian.

Such information does not guarantee product performance, compatibility, commercial success, regulatory approval, or fitness for a particular application. Results may vary depending on materials, formulations, process conditions, equipment, operating environments, and other factors.

You are responsible for conducting appropriate independent testing and validation before adopting any product, process, or application, including any necessary safety, performance, environmental, regulatory, and compatibility assessments.

3.4 No Professional or Regulatory Advice

Unless expressly agreed in writing, Website content does not constitute legal, regulatory, engineering, environmental, occupational safety, or other professional advice. You should obtain advice from appropriately qualified professionals where necessary.

4. No Purchase or Supply Contract Through the Website

Submitting a contact form, requesting a quotation or sample, downloading product information, receiving a product description, or exchanging preliminary communications through the Website does not by itself create a purchase contract, supply commitment, agency relationship, partnership, joint venture, distributorship, or other binding commercial relationship.

Any sale or supply of products will be subject to Meridian’s acceptance of the relevant order and any applicable written quotation, purchase agreement, sales terms, or other governing contract.

Unless expressly agreed in writing, Meridian does not guarantee that any product will be available for purchase, supplied in a particular quantity, delivered within a particular period, or offered at a particular price.

5. Permitted Use and Prohibited Conduct

You may use the Website only for lawful purposes and in accordance with these Terms.

You agree not to:

• Use the Website in violation of any applicable law or regulation.
• Submit false, misleading, fraudulent, or unauthorized information through the Website.
• Attempt to gain unauthorized access to the Website, its servers, systems, databases, or related networks.
• Interfere with, damage, disrupt, or impair the operation, security, or availability of the Website.
• Introduce malware, malicious code, or other harmful material through the Website.
• Use automated tools to scrape, harvest, extract, or systematically collect Website content or contact information without our prior written permission, except to the extent such restriction is prohibited by applicable law.
• Copy, reproduce, modify, distribute, or commercially exploit Website content except as permitted by these Terms or applicable law.
• Reverse engineer, decompile, or attempt to derive the source code of software made available through the Website, except where such restriction is prohibited by applicable law.
• Use the Website or its content to misrepresent your affiliation with Meridian or to infringe the rights of Meridian or any third party.
• Use the Website in a manner that could reasonably be expected to expose Meridian or others to legal, regulatory, security, or operational risks.

We may take reasonable measures to investigate suspected violations, protect the Website, and restrict or terminate access where appropriate and permitted by law.

6. Intellectual Property Rights

Unless otherwise indicated, the Website and its contents—including text, graphics, photographs, logos, branding, page layouts, downloadable documents, and other materials—are owned by Meridian or its licensors and are protected by applicable intellectual property laws.

Subject to these Terms, Meridian grants you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable right to access and use the Website for lawful informational and business purposes.

You may download, view, and print product information and other publicly available Website materials for your internal business evaluation, provided that you do not remove applicable proprietary notices, alter the materials in a misleading way, or misrepresent their source.

Except as expressly permitted by Meridian in writing or under applicable law, you may not reproduce, republish, modify, distribute, publicly display, create derivative works from, or commercially exploit Website content.

Nothing in these Terms transfers to you any ownership interest in Meridian’s or its licensors’ intellectual property. Downloading a product document does not grant any license to manufacture, reproduce, reverse engineer, or otherwise exploit any product, formulation, process, or intellectual property described in that document.

“Meridian Chemical Solutions,” associated logos, and other Meridian names or marks displayed on the Website may be trademarks or trade names of Meridian. You may not use them without prior written permission, except as permitted by applicable law.

Any rights not expressly granted under these Terms are reserved.

7. Information You Submit to Us

When you submit information through the Website, including business inquiries, feedback, or contact details, you represent that the information is accurate to the best of your knowledge and that you are authorized to provide it.

Please do not submit confidential, proprietary, export-controlled, or otherwise restricted information through the Website unless Meridian has expressly agreed in writing to receive it through the relevant channel. Submission of information through the Website does not, by itself, establish a confidentiality obligation or create any intellectual property license in your favor.

Meridian may use the information you submit to respond to your inquiry, provide requested product or technical information, evaluate potential business opportunities, and communicate with you about the matter you raised, subject to applicable law and Meridian’s Privacy Notice.

We will handle personal information in accordance with our Privacy Notice.

Nothing in this section limits any confidentiality obligation arising under a separate written agreement or any rights that cannot lawfully be waived.

8. Third-Party Websites and Services

The Website may contain links to third-party websites, services, or resources for convenience or informational purposes. Such links do not imply that Meridian endorses or controls those third parties.

Meridian is not responsible for the availability, content, accuracy, security, privacy practices, or terms of use of third-party websites or services. Your use of those websites or services is at your own risk and may be subject to their separate terms and policies.

You should review the applicable terms and privacy policies before using any third-party website or service.

9. Website Availability and Security

We do not guarantee that the Website will be continuously available, uninterrupted, secure, or free from errors, defects, viruses, or other harmful components.

We may perform maintenance, update Website content, modify functionality, or suspend access for technical, security, operational, or business reasons.

You are responsible for using appropriate security measures when accessing the Website, including maintaining suitable security software and protecting your own systems and information.

Nothing in these Terms excludes any obligation or liability that cannot lawfully be excluded under applicable law.

10. Disclaimers

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE WEBSITE AND ITS CONTENT ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE.”

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Meridian disclaims all warranties, representations, and conditions relating to the Website and its content, whether express, implied, statutory, or otherwise, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, non-infringement, accuracy, availability, and uninterrupted operation.

Without limiting the foregoing, Meridian does not warrant that:

• The Website or its content will meet your requirements or expectations.
• The Website will be uninterrupted, timely, secure, or error-free.
• Any product description, technical information, application suggestion, or other content will be complete, accurate, current, or suitable for a particular use.
• Any defect or error in the Website will be corrected within a particular period.

These disclaimers apply only to the extent permitted by applicable law and do not override any express warranty or commitment set out in a separate written agreement.

11. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, Meridian and its members, managers, employees, representatives, affiliates, licensors, and service providers will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, special, exemplary, or punitive damages arising out of or relating to your access to or use of, or inability to access or use, the Website or its content. This includes, where permitted by law, loss of profits, revenue, business opportunities, anticipated savings, goodwill, data, or business interruption, even if the possibility of such damages has been advised.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Meridian’s aggregate liability arising out of or relating to the Website or these Terms will not exceed US$100.

The limitations in this section apply regardless of the legal theory of liability, including contract, tort, negligence, strict liability, or otherwise, and even if a remedy fails of its essential purpose.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability to the extent such exclusion or limitation is prohibited by applicable law, including liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited for fraud, willful misconduct, or personal injury caused by negligence where applicable law prohibits such limitation. These Terms also do not limit any rights or remedies that cannot lawfully be waived.

The limitations in this section apply to the Website only. Any liability arising under a separate written commercial agreement will be governed by that agreement.

12. Indemnification

To the extent permitted by applicable law, you agree to indemnify and hold harmless Meridian and its members, managers, employees, and representatives from third-party claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and reasonable costs and expenses, including reasonable legal fees, to the extent arising from:

• Your material violation of these Terms;
• Your unlawful use of the Website; or
• Your infringement of a third party’s rights through information or materials you submit to the Website.

This section does not require you to indemnify Meridian for losses to the extent caused by Meridian’s own negligence, willful misconduct, or other conduct for which indemnification cannot lawfully be required.

13. Privacy and Cookies

Your use of the Website may involve the collection and processing of personal information and the use of cookies or similar technologies.

Our processing of personal information is described in the Privacy Notice. Information about cookies and similar technologies is described in our Cookie Notice or presented through the Website’s cookie preference interface, where applicable.

These Terms do not replace the Privacy Notice or any consent or disclosure required by applicable privacy or data protection law.

14. Export Controls and Sanctions

You must comply with all applicable export control, import control, sanctions, and trade compliance laws and regulations in connection with your use of the Website and any products or technical information obtained from Meridian.

You must not use the Website to request, obtain, transfer, export, re-export, or otherwise make available products or technical information in violation of applicable law, or on behalf of any person or entity where such dealings are prohibited.

Information on the Website does not constitute authorization to export, import, transfer, or use any product or technical information in any jurisdiction. Any actual transaction involving products or technical information will be subject to applicable law and any relevant transaction-specific requirements.

15. Changes to These Terms

We may revise these Terms from time to time. The revised version will be posted on the Website with an updated “Last Updated” date.

Unless otherwise required by applicable law, changes will become effective when posted. Your continued use of the Website after the revised Terms become effective constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms to the extent permitted by applicable law.

If you do not agree to revised Terms, you must discontinue use of the Website.

16. Governing Law and Jurisdiction

These Terms and any dispute arising out of or relating to them or your use of the Website will be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, United States, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles, except to the extent applicable law requires otherwise.

Subject to applicable law, the state courts located in Delaware and the federal courts of the United States having jurisdiction in Delaware will have exclusive jurisdiction over disputes arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Website, and you and Meridian consent to the jurisdiction of those courts.

Nothing in this section deprives a consumer or other protected person of any mandatory rights or protections that cannot lawfully be excluded under the law applicable to that person.

17. General Provisions

17.1 Severability

If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in effect to the maximum extent permitted by law. The invalid, illegal, or unenforceable provision will be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable, where permitted by law.

17.2 No Waiver

A failure or delay by Meridian in exercising any right under these Terms does not constitute a waiver of that right.

17.3 No Agency or Partnership

Nothing in these Terms creates an agency, partnership, joint venture, employment, fiduciary, or similar relationship between you and Meridian.

17.4 Assignment

You may not assign or transfer your rights or obligations under these Terms without Meridian’s prior written consent. Meridian may assign or transfer its rights and obligations in connection with a merger, reorganization, sale of assets, or other lawful corporate transaction, subject to applicable law.

17.5 Entire Agreement

These Terms constitute the entire agreement between you and Meridian concerning your access to and use of the Website, and supersede prior agreements or understandings relating specifically to that subject matter. They do not replace or override any separate written agreement governing a commercial transaction, confidentiality obligation, product supply, or other specific relationship.
