Solvent Direct Text Message Terms & Conditions

By “Opting In” to or using a Solvent Direct “Text Message Service” (both terms defined below), you accept these Terms & Conditions and agree to resolve disputes with Solvent Direct through binding arbitration (and with very limited exceptions, not in court), and you waive any right to participate in class actions, all as detailed in the “Disputes” section below.

Definitions

• “Text Message Service” includes any arrangement or situation in which Solvent Direct sends (or indicates that it may send, or receives a request that it send) one or more text messages.

• “Opting In,” “Opt In” and “Opt-In” refer to requesting, joining, agreeing to, enrolling in, signing up for, acknowledging, or otherwise consenting to receive one or more text messages.

• “Solvent Direct” means Solvent Direct, Inc and its affiliates and subsidiaries.

Opting In

By Opting In to a Text Message Service:

• You authorize Solvent Direct to use autodialer or non-autodialer technology to send text messages to the cell phone number associated with your Opt-In (i.e., the number listed on the Opt-In form or instructions, or, if none, the number from which you send the Opt-In, or, if none, the number on file for the account associated with your Opt-In). You also authorize Solvent Direct to include marketing content in any such messages. You do not have to Opt In or agree to Opt In as a condition of purchase.

• You are signing your Opt-In to the Text Message Service.

• You confirm that you are the subscriber to the relevant phone number or that you are the customary user of that number on a family or business plan and that you are authorized to Opt In.

• You consent to the use of an electronic record to document your Opt-In. To withdraw that consent, request a free paper or email copy of the Opt-In, or to update our records with your contact information, please call 1-833-787-3427. To view and retain an electronic copy of these Terms & Conditions or the rest of your Opt-In, you will need (i) a device (such as a computer or cell phone) with internet access, and (ii) either a printer or storage space on such device. For an email copy, you’ll also need an email account you can access from the device, along with a browser or other software that can display the emails. These Terms & Conditions still will apply if you withdraw the consent mentioned above or opt out of the Text Message Service.

After Opting In, in addition to the main messages the service offers, you may receive one or more welcome messages or administrative messages, such as (in some cases) a request to confirm your Opt-In.
 

About the Text Message Services and Opting Out

Message and data rates may apply. Unless otherwise noted, Text Message Services send multiple, recurring messages. Solvent Direct may terminate any Text Message Service or your participation in it at any time with or without notice, including, for example, before you have received any or all messages that you otherwise would have received, but these Terms & Conditions still will apply. 

You consent to the handling of your information as described in the terms and conditions. To contact Solvent Direct customer service, call 1-833-787-3427. You must be 18 years of age or older (except Alabama and Nebraska, where you must be 19 years of age or older).

Disputes

Any dispute or claim arising out of or relating in any way to a Text Message Service will be resolved by binding arbitration, rather than in court, except that you may assert claims in small claims court if your claims qualify. The Federal Arbitration Act and federal arbitration law apply to these Conditions of Use.

BY AGREEING TO ARBITRATION, YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT YOU ARE WAIVING YOUR RIGHT TO MAINTAIN OTHER AVAILABLE RESOLUTION PROCESSES, SUCH AS A COURT ACTION OR ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEEDING, TO SETTLE ANY DISPUTES OR CLAIMS. THE RULES IN ARBITRATION ARE DIFFERENT. THERE IS NO JUDGE OR JURY. ALTHOUGH REVIEW IS LIMITED, AN ARBITRATOR CAN AWARD ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS THE SAME DAMAGES AND RELIEF AS WOULD BE AVAILABLE IN COURT, AND MUST ENFORCE THE SAME LIMITATIONS STATED IN THESE CONDITIONS OF USE AS A COURT WOULD.

To begin an arbitration proceeding, you must send a demand to the American Arbitration Association (AAA) describing your claim and serve a copy of the demand on our registered agent CT Corporation System, Inc., 100 South Fifth Street, Suite 1075, Minneapolis, MN 55402. The arbitration will be conducted by the AAA under its rules, including the AAA's Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes. The AAA's rules and the form for filing an arbitration claim are available at www.adr.org or by calling 1-800-778-7879. Payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA's rules. We will reimburse those fees (but not any attorney's fees) for claims totaling less than $10,000 unless the arbitrator determines your claims are frivolous. Likewise, Solvent Direct will not seek attorneys' fees and costs in arbitration unless the arbitrator determines the claims are frivolous. You may choose to have the arbitration conducted by telephone, based on written submissions, or in person in the county where you live or at another mutually agreed upon location.

We each agree that any dispute resolution proceedings of any nature or in any forum will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class, consolidated or representative action. This means that you may not purport to act on behalf of a class or any other person. Likewise, an arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding.

If for any reason a claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration, we each waive any right to a jury trial, unless such waiver is unenforceable. This means that any claim would be decided by a judge, not a jury.

We also both agree that you or we may bring suit in court to seek to enjoin infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights.

Applicable Law

THE FEDERAL ARBITRATION ACT AND APPLICABLE FEDERAL LAW (OR IN THE ABSENCE OF APPLICABLE FEDERAL LAW, THEN THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF MINNESOTA), WITHOUT REGARD TO PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICT OF LAWS, WILL GOVERN THESE TERMS & CONDITIONS AND APPLY TO ANY DISPUTES OR CLAIMS AGAINST SOLVENT DIRECT ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING IN ANY WAY TO ANY SOLVENT DIRECT TEXT MESSAGE SERVICE.

Butane/Propane/Solvent Shipping Policy

Due to FAA regulations, solvent, alcohols, and lab chemicals cannot be safely transported via means other than ground. Any order that contains solvent, alcohol, or lab chemicals will not be shipped in an expedited fashion. If an order with solvent is combined with any other items and chosen to be expedited, that entire order will ship via Ground/Freight. We will not split up any orders and ship them separately. If a customer is wanting to expedite specific items and order solvent, 2 separate orders (1 for the solvent and 1 for the expedited items) will need to be placed in order to do so.

Solvents do not ship to Hawaii, Puerto Rico, or any other US Territory outside of the contiguous 48 States.

Shipping solvent to Alaska may ONLY ship via freight and will be required to travel through Canada.

All sales are final on items qualified as hazardous material, including solvent, alcohol, and lab chemicals. We cannot accept returns due to hazardous material shipping regulations.

We have this policy in place to ensure safety when transporting solvents, and to prevent any issues with shipping for our customers.

​TERMS & CONDITIONS OF SALE

Except as provided in a separate written agreement, such as a Product Sale Agreement, negotiated by the parties and executed by authorized representatives of Seller and Buyer, each sale of Products or Services by Seller shall be governed by these Terms and Conditions of Sale ("Terms"). "Seller" refers to Solvent Direct, Inc, or one of its Affiliates, the name of which will be reflected on the invoice for the Products or Services purchased by Buyer. "Affiliate" refers to an entity that directly, or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, controls or is controlled by, or is under common control with Solvent Direct, Inc. "Buyer" refers to the purchaser of Products or Services from Seller. "Product(s)" refers to any goods or other items of tangible personal property provided by Seller to Buyer. "Services" refers to safety services and/or any other service provided by Seller and charged to Buyer. Seller’s acceptance of any order is expressly subject to Buyer's assent to each and all of the terms and conditions set forth herein. These Terms represent the entire agreement with respect to the sale or rental of Products and Services and, except as provided in a separate written agreement as set forth above, supersede all prior or contemporaneous written/oral communications between the parties and information in any Seller literature, website or catalog, and override and exclude any other terms and conditions stipulated, incorporated or referred to by Buyer, including without limitation any Buyer purchase order, and any prior course of dealing between the parties.

AGREEMENT. Buyer shall not purchase any Products or Services on Seller’s website (the "Site") unless Buyer is an authorized, registered user of the Site. By purchasing any Products or Services on the Site, Buyer accepts, without limitation or qualification, these Terms governing such purchase. If Buyer does not agree and accept, without limitation or qualification, these Terms, Buyer may not purchase from the Site. If these Terms are construed to be an offer, this offer expressly limits acceptance by Buyer to these Terms and notice of objection to any different or additional terms is hereby given. Seller reserves the right to modify and update these Terms at any time by email, the Site or other commercially reasonable methods, and Buyer should carefully review these Terms before each purchase. These Terms, as modified, shall apply to all purchases of Products and/or Services on or after such update.

TITLE TO PRODUCTS. Until Buyer pays Seller in full, title to the Products shall remain in Seller's name and Seller shall have a purchase money security interest in the Products. If Buyer shall default in any payments, Seller shall have all the rights as holder of such title or as such secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code and/or any other law then in force; and Seller may, in addition, retain as rental any payments received by Seller on account of the purchase price of the Products, whether Buyer's default shall have occurred before or after delivery. If Seller repossesses the Products, Seller may resell the Products after ten (10) days' prior written notice to Buyer. Seller may file one or more financing statements to perfect its security interests. If necessary, Buyer shall execute such financing statements upon request. Buyer shall not cover, modify or remove any identification or other indicia of Seller’s ownership on any rental equipment. Title to all rental equipment shall remain in Seller's name.

CYLINDERS. Unless otherwise specified, cylinders, fittings and caps covered by these Terms are rented by Seller to Buyer at Seller’s current daily rates, beginning with the date of delivery. Rental charges are assessed as of the last day of each month or at the start of each annual lease period, as applicable. Buyer shall not permit cylinders or other storage containers furnished hereunder to be filled with any product not furnished by Seller or its authorized agent. Buyer shall return, in a good and non-contaminated condition, all cylinders, with valves closed, complete with caps and fittings and shall pay Seller the replacement value of: (1) any lost or damaged cylinders, caps or fittings and for any loss or damage caused by Buyer contamination; or (2) those cylinders not returned to Seller within three (3) months from date of shipment to the Buyer (other than those subject to an annual lease) or, if damaged and the damage can be repaired, the cost of making such repair. Payment by the Buyer of charges for damaged, lost or destroyed cylinders shall not give any ownership interest in the cylinders to the Buyer.

ONLINE PRICING.  Online pricing may not be available at all Airgas retail branch locations. Online pricing may not be valid for Buyers located outside of the contiguous 48 United States, including for Buyers located in Alaska, Hawaii, Guam, American Samoa, Puerto Rico or the U.S. Virgin Islands.  

TERMS OF PAYMENT. Except as provided in a separate written agreement, such as a Product Sale Agreement Buyer shall make payment in full upon delivery. If Buyer fails to make any payment when and as due, Seller may charge Buyer interest at the lesser of one-and-one-half percent (1.5%) per month (minimum two dollars ($2.00)) or the highest rate permitted by law calculated from and excluding the due date thereof to and including the date of payment. If Buyer requests payment terms other than cash or cash on delivery (COD), Buyer represents that the purchases are made for business, commercial or agricultural purposes and not for personal, household, or family use. If Buyer has received credit approval from Seller, continued open account credit is subject to Seller's assessment of Buyer's financial condition and ability to pay. Buyer represents and warrants that Buyer is and shall remain solvent until Seller receives payment in full for the Products and/or Services. If Seller employs any collection agency or attorney to collect any amount due Seller, and/or to repossess any Products, Buyer shall pay all collection fees, attorneys' fees, and court costs, in addition to the amount otherwise unpaid.

REFUNDABLE DEPOSIT RETURNS. Following return from Seller, Buyer shall pay to Seller a surcharge in the event of any extraordinary, emergency or other unanticipated increases in the cost of manufacturing, supplying or distributing Product hereunder.

SURCHARGES. Following notice from Seller, Buyer shall pay to Seller a surcharge in the event of any extraordinary, emergency or other unanticipated increases in the cost of manufacturing, supplying or distributing Product hereunder.

DELIVERY. Delivery method for all orders shall be as stated on the Seller’s delivery ticket and/or invoice and, if not stated therein, shall be FOB Seller's warehouse, or as otherwise determined by Seller. Seller shall have no obligation to arrange for any valuation of the Products over and above the valuation provided in the carrier's tariffs or other rate schedules at the lowest rates of carriage. Delivery date(s) are determined from the date of each order of Products and are estimates of approximate dates of delivery, not a guarantee of a particular day of delivery. Solvent Direct Logistics Team will make best effort to confirm delivery time the evening prior to your scheduled delivery. This confirmation will serve to lock the Buyer's delivery details including delivery time, payment information, empty returns, delivery details, loading details and receiver details. If Buyer delays acceptance of the Products when delivered or ready for shipment, Buyer shall forthwith pay to Seller the full price of the Products and shall also pay Seller such warehousing and pier charges and other expenses as Seller may incur as a result of Buyer's delay. Seller reserves the right to decline or cancel any order at any time prior to shipment.

RETURN OF PRODUCTS. No Products shall be returned to Seller without Seller's written authorization. Buyer shall pay a thirty percent (30%) restocking charge on all Products returned to Seller, except for returns provided for under Section 12 hereof.

WARRANTY. Seller warrants that, at the time of delivery, all Products furnished hereunder shall conform to the manufacturer’s or Seller’s specification for the period of time set forth in such specification or, if none, for a period of ninety (90) days. Seller warrants that it will perform Services in a workmanlike manner, in accordance with customary industry standards.

IN NO EVENT SHALL SELLER'S LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF THESE TERMS EXCEED THE AMOUNT PAID BY BUYER TO SELLER FOR THE APPLICABLE PRODUCT OR SERVICE UNDER THESE TERMS DURING THE IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING TWELVE (12) MONTH PERIOD.

REMEDIES. BUYER’S EXCLUSIVE REMEDY FOR EACH UNEXCUSED FAILURE OF PRODUCT TO MEET SPECIFICATION SHALL BE, AT SELLER'S OPTION, TO RECEIVE A REFUND OF THE PRICE OF SUCH NON-CONFORMING PRODUCT OR REPLACEMENT THEREOF WITH PRODUCT THAT MEETS SUCH SPECIFICATION. BUYER’S EXCLUSIVE REMEDY FOR THE UNEXCUSED FAILURE BY SELLER TO DELIVER PRODUCT AS SPECIFIED, REGARDLESS OF THE CAUSE OF SUCH FAILURE, INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE, SHALL BE TO RECOVER THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE COST TO BUYER OF ANY SUBSTITUTE FOR PRODUCT NOT DELIVERED AND THE LESSER PRICE OF SUCH QUANTITY OF PRODUCT HEREUNDER. WITH RESPECT TO THE FOREGOING REMEDIES, BUYER HEREBY RELEASES SELLER’S SUPPLIERS FROM ANY AND ALL CLAIMS, COSTS, FEES (INCLUDING REASONABLE LEGAL FEES AND EXPENSES), DAMAGES AND LIABILITIES, WHETHER IN CONTRACT OR TORT (INCLUDING THOSE ARISING FROM SELLER’S SUPPLIERS’ NEGLIGENCE OR STRICT LIABILITY), ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO (I) SELLER’S FAILURE TO SUPPLY GAS PRODUCTS HEREUNDER OR (II) THE FAILURE OF GAS PRODUCTS TO MEET THE SPECIFICATIONS IN THE WARRANTY SET FORTH ABOVE.

Seller shall not be liable for any damages resulting from a Force Majeure Event, and Buyer waives any right to assert a claim against Seller in respect thereof.

TAXES. Prices are exclusive of any amount of federal, state and/or local excise, sales, use, property, retailer’s occupation, gross receipts or similar taxes which may be imposed in connection with a transaction. If any such excluded tax is determined to be applicable, prices shall be increased by the amount of such tax. In the event that Buyer claims exemption, full or partial, from such taxes, a properly completed exemption certificate with a list of the applicable exempt purchases, which will be acceptable to the appropriate taxing authorities, must be provided. Buyer will provide the applicable exemption certificate for each Buyer location. Should such a certificate be found invalid, Buyer agrees to bear the burden of any interest and penalties assessed.

COMPLIANCE/SDS. Buyer, its employees and agents shall comply with all applicable federal, state and local laws regarding the safe handling, transportation and use of the Products, including without limitation under the Emergency Planning and Community Right-To-Know Act and the Occupational Safety and Health Act.

ITEMIZED CHARGES. The total amount due from Buyer may include various itemized charges, including: charges for the handling of hazardous materials and for compliance with laws and regulations concerning hazardous materials; charges for handling, delivery, and shipping; and/or charges for energy or fuel. None of the charges represents a tax or fee paid to or imposed by any governmental authority and all of the charges are retained by Seller.

Privacy Policy — Here are the highlights.

As a general rule, privacy policies are written by lawyers for lawyers. We hope you find these highlights to instead be a clear and transparent summary of our Privacy Policy, but our lawyers want us to remind you that the full, binding legalese of our Privacy Policy is below. And, California residents, there is specific legalese using definitions required by California law that you may review on our California Privacy Rights page.    

With those disclaimers out of the way, here’s our most important highlight:   

• Solvent Direct’s purpose is to streamline the delivery of lab supply. We will only collect, use, or share your personally identifiable information for that purpose. And we don’t sell (as “sell” is traditionally defined) your personally identifiable information to anyone else.

Personally identifiable information.

We use the term “personally identifiable information” in these highlights to mean information that identifies, or that can reasonably be linked to, an actual natural person (that’s a real, named human being). We use the stand-alone term “information” to include all types of information, including personally identifiable information.

Collection.

We may collect information relevant to you in three ways. First, we may collect information directly from you. This could be as part of your interactions with Solvent Direct personnel, such as at our retail stores or during in-home visits, or when you provide information via our digital properties such as websites or mobile apps.

Second, we will collect such information by observing behavior — either in the “real world” or through our digital properties like websites and mobile apps. Examples include security cameras at a retail store, our websites tracking visitor activities on our sites, or our digital properties collecting the characteristics of the visiting devices.    

Finally, we may obtain such information from independent third parties, independent of you. 

Use.

We will use your information to meet your expectations and give you a great experience with Solvent Direct. For example, that could be to fulfill a purchase, provide a service, make our digital properties run better, or maintain our My Solvent Direct® program.

You’ve probably seen in the news that the world (especially the internet) has too many fraudsters, hackers, and criminals. We use information we collect to protect our customers, Solvent Direct, and others from such bad actors.

And remember when we said above that our purpose is to enrich lives through technology? In order to do that, we’ll want to tell you about technology and other products and services that we think you’ll find useful. That means we’ll use information to try figure out what will be useful (or just fun and interesting) to you and others, or we’ll develop new or different products and services. And if we think we’ve found something you might like, we’ll use information to place or send marketing messages to you that highlight our ideas, and we’ll monitor your response to that message.

Sharing.

If you post something on a public forum on one of our digital properties, it should come as no surprise to you that it may be viewed by the general public. 

We may share your personally identifiable information with suppliers or business partners to fulfill your requests or perform on our behalf a contract that we have with you. 
    
Sometimes we share information with suppliers and business partners for internal Solvent Direct uses. The easiest examples of what we mean by this relate to information technology — they may be processing personally identifiable information, but we make sure we have contracts in place requiring that they only use the information in support of Solvent Direct. 

We also may share personally identifiable information in an attempt to enforce our legal rights, in response to a request from law-enforcement authorities, and when we are required to do so by applicable law. Also, please note that if we think that sharing personally identifiable information is going to protect Solvent Direct or others from harm, that’s what we are going to do. 

Finally, Solvent Direct comprises multiple corporations in the Solvent Direct family. These family members may share personally identifiable information with each other. And if one of these family members later goes off on their own, either after being acquired by a third party or merging with a third party, they will share personally identifiable information with that third party but subject to the applicable privacy policy.

Have any questions about our privacy practices? Just ask! 

Whew! Even the “highlights” get a bit long. And the full, binding Privacy Policy follows, but we thought you’d appreciate our summary above. California residents, there’s also specific language and definitions required by California law. If you still have questions, here are a few ways you can contact us:
