Terms and Conditions

Effective date: August 16, 2026

Last updated: August 16, 2026

These Terms govern your use of gregthechemicalguy.com (the "Site") and any quote, sale, delivery, or training we provide. They are a contract between you and Legal entity name, doing business as Greg the Chemical Guy ("we," "us," or "our").

By using the Site, requesting a quote, or buying from us, you agree to these Terms. If you are agreeing on behalf of an organization, you represent that you have authority to bind it.

Read Sections 4, 5, 6, 11, and 12 carefully. They concern product labels, the limits of the information we publish, and the limits of our liability.

1. Who we are and what we do

We are an independent distributor of janitorial and sanitation products manufactured by third parties, principally Share Corporation of Milwaukee, Wisconsin. We sell to businesses, nonprofits, and government agencies. We also provide free on-site staff training to customers on a product program.

We do not manufacture, formulate, repackage, decant, dilute for resale, or relabel any product we sell. Products are sold in the manufacturer's original, unopened containers bearing the manufacturer's registered label.

We are not a pest control company, a consulting firm, a law firm, or a compliance auditor. We do not apply pesticides for hire, and we do not inspect for or diagnose pest infestations. If you have an active infestation, engage a structural pest control business licensed by the Texas Department of Agriculture.

2. Site content and quotes

The Site is not an offer. Product listings, descriptions, pricing indications, and starter programs are invitations to request a quote. They are not offers capable of acceptance, and adding items to a quote does not create a contract.

Quotes. A quote is valid for 30 days from its date unless it says otherwise. Pricing is subject to change on manufacturer price increases, freight surcharges, and changes in taxes or fees. We will tell you before a change takes effect on an accepted order. A binding contract forms only when we accept your purchase order or written acceptance in writing, or when we ship, whichever is first.

Availability and errors. Products may be discontinued or reformulated by the manufacturer without notice to us. We may correct pricing, specification, or description errors at any time before acceptance, and we may cancel an order affected by an error, refunding anything you have paid.

Purchase orders. Where you issue a purchase order, the commercial terms on its face — quantity, price, delivery location, payment terms — govern. Any preprinted terms and conditions on your purchase order that conflict with these Terms are rejected and do not become part of the contract, except as provided in Section 13 for public entity customers.

3. Payment, delivery, returns

Payment. Terms are stated on the quote or invoice. Invoices not paid when due may accrue interest at the lesser of 1.5% per month or the maximum rate permitted by Texas law. You are responsible for applicable sales tax unless you provide a valid exemption certificate before invoicing.

Delivery and risk. Unless the quote says otherwise, delivery is F.O.B. our shipping point, and title and risk of loss pass to you on delivery to the carrier. Delivery dates are estimates. We are not liable for delays caused by manufacturers, carriers, weather, or other causes beyond our reasonable control.

Inspection. Inspect every shipment on arrival. Notify us of shortages, visible damage, or wrong items within 5 business days of delivery. Note damage on the carrier's delivery receipt before signing.

Returns. Unopened, undamaged product in original packaging may be returned within 30 days with our prior written authorization. Return freight is yours unless the error was ours, and a restocking fee may apply. We cannot accept returns of opened chemical product, and we cannot accept any return of a product that has been stored outside the temperature range on its label, because we cannot verify its condition and we will not resell product we cannot vouch for.

4. THE PRODUCT LABEL CONTROLS

THIS SECTION IS THE MOST IMPORTANT ONE IN THIS DOCUMENT.

THE EPA-REGISTERED LABEL AFFIXED TO EACH PRODUCT IS THE SOLE AND CONTROLLING SOURCE OF DIRECTIONS FOR USE, DILUTION RATIOS, CONTACT AND DWELL TIMES, APPROVED USE SITES, EFFICACY AND PATHOGEN CLAIMS, PRECAUTIONARY STATEMENTS, PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT REQUIREMENTS, STORAGE CONDITIONS, AND DISPOSAL INSTRUCTIONS.

WHERE ANYTHING ON THIS SITE, IN ANY DOCUMENT WE PROVIDE, IN ANY TRAINING WE DELIVER, OR IN ANYTHING SAID BY ANY EMPLOYEE OR REPRESENTATIVE OF OURS DIFFERS FROM OR CONFLICTS WITH THE PRODUCT LABEL, THE LABEL GOVERNS ABSOLUTELY.

IT IS A VIOLATION OF FEDERAL LAW TO USE A REGISTERED PESTICIDE, INCLUDING ANY DISINFECTANT OR SANITIZER, IN A MANNER INCONSISTENT WITH ITS LABELING. 7 U.S.C. §136j(a)(2)(G).

You agree that you will:

Read the complete label before first use of any product, and re-read it whenever the manufacturer revises it.
Use each product only for the sites, surfaces, and purposes the label permits.
Observe the labeled dilution ratio and the full labeled contact time, keeping the surface visibly wet for that entire period where the label so requires.
Provide the personal protective equipment the label and safety data sheet specify.
Store and dispose of product as the label directs.
Not represent to any third party that a product carries an efficacy or pathogen claim that does not appear on its approved label.

Any efficacy or pathogen claim we reproduce anywhere is reproduced from the manufacturer's approved label. We do not independently test products, and we make no efficacy claim of our own. Approved claims and registration status can change; the current label on the container you received is authoritative.

5. INFORMATION WE PUBLISH IS NOT ADVICE, AND IS NOT AN INSTRUCTION OR WARNING

THE REGULATORY SUMMARIES, COMPLIANCE GUIDANCE, CITED RULES, RECOMMENDED CLEANING SCHEDULES, PRODUCT PROGRAMS, CHECKLISTS, AND SIMILAR MATERIALS ON THIS SITE OR PROVIDED BY US ARE GENERAL BACKGROUND INFORMATION ONLY.

THEY ARE NOT LEGAL ADVICE, REGULATORY ADVICE, MEDICAL ADVICE, INFECTION CONTROL ADVICE, OR PROFESSIONAL ADVICE OF ANY KIND. THEY ARE NOT AN INSTRUCTION OR A WARNING ACCOMPANYING ANY PRODUCT. THE PRODUCT LABEL AND THE SAFETY DATA SHEET ARE THE INSTRUCTIONS AND WARNINGS THAT ACCOMPANY OUR PRODUCTS.

Specifically:

Regulations change. Materials on the Site are accurate to the best of our knowledge as of the date shown on the page and are not systematically updated. Statutes, administrative rules, agency guidance, and licensing standards change, sometimes without notice.
Your circumstances differ. Which rules apply to your facility depends on your license type, size, jurisdiction, funding sources, accreditation, and other facts we do not know.
We are not your advisor. Nothing on this Site creates a professional, advisory, consulting, or fiduciary relationship between us.
Verify independently. You are responsible for determining which legal requirements apply to your facility and for meeting them. Consult your own attorney, your licensing or accrediting body, your insurer, and the primary sources we cite.

YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT YOU DO NOT RELY, AND WILL NOT RELY, ON ANY STATEMENT, SUMMARY, SCHEDULE, OR RECOMMENDATION PUBLISHED OR PROVIDED BY US IN DETERMINING WHETHER YOUR FACILITY COMPLIES WITH ANY LAW, REGULATION, LICENSING STANDARD, OR ACCREDITATION REQUIREMENT.

We publish this material because we believe an informed customer buys better, and because we would rather cite a rule and be checked than make a vague claim. That is why we cite sources. It does not make us responsible for your compliance.

6. TRAINING

We may provide on-site training on the products you buy, at no additional charge, as a courtesy to customers on a product program.

THE FOLLOWING APPLIES TO ALL TRAINING WE PROVIDE:

Training is supplemental. It does not discharge any legal duty you owe. You remain solely responsible for your own hazard communication program, employee training, exposure control plan, and all other obligations under the OSHA Hazard Communication Standard (29 C.F.R. §1910.1200(h)), the Texas Hazard Communication Act (Tex. Health & Safety Code Ch. 502 and 25 Tex. Admin. Code Ch. 295), the OSHA Bloodborne Pathogens Standard, and any licensing, accreditation, or facility standard applicable to you.
Our training is not a certification. It does not certify, license, accredit, or qualify any person for anything, and it does not satisfy any training mandate on its own.
Scope. Training covers the content of product labels and safety data sheets and general product handling. It is not a hazard assessment of your facility, not an inspection, not an audit, and not a site-specific safety evaluation.
You remain responsible for your employees. You are responsible for supervising them, for enforcing safe work practices, for providing personal protective equipment, and for verifying that anyone using a product has read and understood its label.
No reliance. You agree that you do not rely on our training to satisfy any legal duty you owe to your employees, your customers, the children or patients in your care, or the public.

If you need certified or accredited training, engage a qualified provider. We will tell you that in person too.

7. Safety data sheets, and what each of us must do

We will provide a safety data sheet for each product with your initial shipment of that product, and again with the first shipment following any manufacturer revision, as required of distributors under 29 C.F.R. §1910.1200(g)(7). We will also provide a sheet on request at any time.

You will maintain safety data sheets in your workplace and keep them readily accessible to your employees during every work shift, as required of employers under 29 C.F.R. §1910.1200(g)(8) — or, if you are a Texas public employer, under 25 Tex. Admin. Code §295.5. That obligation is yours and we cannot perform it for you. You are likewise responsible for labeling secondary containers in your facility, for your written hazard communication program, and for your workplace chemical list.

Where we furnish workplace chemical lists, secondary container labels, or similar documentation as a service, we do so as a convenience based on what you bought from us. You remain responsible for their accuracy and completeness as applied to your facility, including chemicals you obtained elsewhere.

8. Your responsibilities as a purchaser

You represent and agree that:

You are acquiring products for commercial, institutional, or governmental use, not for personal, family, or household use, and not for resale unless we have agreed in writing.
You will use, store, transport, and dispose of products in compliance with all applicable federal, state, and local law.
You will not remove, deface, alter, or obscure any product label.
You will not repackage, decant for resale, dilute for resale, or relabel any product.
You will keep products secured and inaccessible to children and to unauthorized persons, and away from food.
You will determine, for your own facility, whether a product is suitable for the surfaces, equipment, and finishes you intend to use it on. Surface compatibility is your call to make, though we are glad to share what we know.
If you are subject to school integrated pest management rules, applicator licensing, or similar requirements, you will comply with them before applying any insecticide product.

9. Intellectual property

The Site and its content — text, layout, graphics, photography, product programs, cleaning schedules, and compilations — are owned by us or our licensors and protected by copyright and other laws. Product names, brands, and labels are the property of their respective owners.

You may print, download, and internally distribute our cleaning schedules and customer documentation for use in your own facility. That is what they are for.

You may not republish our content on another website, resell it, use it in a competing commercial offering, or present it as your own. You may not scrape or bulk-extract the Site, or use it to train a machine learning model, without our written permission.

10. Acceptable use

Do not use the Site to submit false information, interfere with its operation or security, attempt unauthorized access, transmit malware, or violate any law. We may suspend or terminate access for any of these.

11. WARRANTIES AND DISCLAIMER

Limited warranty. We warrant that products delivered will be the products ordered, in the manufacturer's original unopened containers, and undamaged in our custody. This is a warranty about what we shipped, not about how a product will perform.

Manufacturer warranties. Products carry only the warranties the manufacturer provides. We pass through to you, to the extent we are able, any manufacturer warranty applicable to the product. We are a distributor. We did not design, formulate, manufacture, or test these products.

DISCLAIMER. EXCEPT FOR THE LIMITED WARRANTY STATED ABOVE, AND TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE PRODUCTS, THE SITE, ALL PUBLISHED MATERIALS, AND ALL TRAINING ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE." WE DISCLAIM ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.

WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT ANY PRODUCT WILL ACHIEVE ANY PARTICULAR LEVEL OF DISINFECTION, SANITIZATION, OR PATHOGEN REDUCTION IN YOUR FACILITY. EFFICACY DEPENDS ON CORRECT DILUTION, FULL CONTACT TIME, SURFACE CONDITION, PRE-CLEANING, WATER QUALITY, TEMPERATURE, AND OPERATOR TECHNIQUE — ALL OF WHICH ARE UNDER YOUR CONTROL AND NOT OURS.

WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT USE OF ANY PRODUCT, SCHEDULE, PROGRAM, OR PUBLISHED MATERIAL WILL RESULT IN COMPLIANCE WITH ANY LAW, REGULATION, LICENSING STANDARD, INSPECTION, OR ACCREDITATION REQUIREMENT, OR WILL PREVENT ANY ILLNESS, INFECTION, OUTBREAK, INJURY, CITATION, OR CLAIM.

Some jurisdictions do not allow certain warranty exclusions, so parts of this section may not apply to you.

12. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT LIMITS WHAT YOU CAN RECOVER FROM US, INCLUDING FOR OUR OWN NEGLIGENCE.

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, AND EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES, WE WILL NOT BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR LOST PROFITS, LOST REVENUE, LOST BUSINESS, LOSS OF GOODWILL, BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, FACILITY CLOSURE, REGULATORY FINES OR PENALTIES, LOSS OF LICENSURE OR ACCREDITATION, OR COSTS OF SUBSTITUTE GOODS OR SERVICES — ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE PRODUCTS, THE SITE, PUBLISHED MATERIALS, OR TRAINING, WHETHER THE CLAIM IS BASED ON CONTRACT, WARRANTY, STRICT LIABILITY, STATUTE, OR OUR OWN NEGLIGENCE.

OUR TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE PRODUCTS, THE SITE, PUBLISHED MATERIALS, OR TRAINING — WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, WARRANTY, STRICT LIABILITY, STATUTE, OR OUR OWN NEGLIGENCE — WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US FOR THE SPECIFIC PRODUCT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM, OR (B) THE TOTAL AMOUNT YOU PAID US IN THE TWELVE MONTHS BEFORE THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM.

THESE LIMITATIONS DO NOT APPLY TO: (I) DEATH OR BODILY INJURY CAUSED BY OUR GROSS NEGLIGENCE, WILLFUL MISCONDUCT, OR FRAUD; (II) ANY LIABILITY THAT CANNOT LAWFULLY BE LIMITED OR EXCLUDED; OR (III) ANY RIGHT YOU HAVE UNDER THE TEXAS DECEPTIVE TRADE PRACTICES–CONSUMER PROTECTION ACT, WHICH THESE TERMS DO NOT WAIVE AND DO NOT PURPORT TO WAIVE.

These limitations are a fundamental basis of the bargain between us and reflect the price at which we sell. They apply even if a limited remedy fails of its essential purpose.

13. PUBLIC ENTITY CUSTOMERS

If you are a Texas governmental entity — including a municipality, county, school district, special district, public institution of higher education, or state agency — this Section 13 applies and controls over anything inconsistent elsewhere in these Terms.

No indemnity from you. Nothing in these Terms requires you to indemnify, defend, or hold us harmless. We recognize that a Texas governmental entity generally may not lawfully agree to indemnify a private party. Any indemnity obligation stated elsewhere in these Terms does not apply to you.
No waiver of immunity. Nothing in these Terms waives, or is intended to waive, your governmental or sovereign immunity, whether to suit or to liability, except to the extent immunity is waived by Texas law, including Tex. Local Gov't Code §271.152 for written contracts for goods and services.
No arbitration. The dispute resolution provisions of Section 14 requiring litigation in a specific county do not apply to you. Venue for any dispute involving you lies where required by the mandatory venue provisions of Texas law, including Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code §§15.015, 15.0151, and 15.016.
Appropriation. Any multi-year obligation is subject to annual appropriation by your governing body, and non-appropriation is not a breach.
Your terms may control. Where you require your own contract terms, purchase order terms, cooperative purchasing contract terms, or terms required by a funding source, those terms control over these Terms to the extent of any conflict, provided we have accepted your order.
Public records. We understand that our contract with you and related records may be public information under the Texas Public Information Act, and we will cooperate in responding to requests directed to you.
Procurement compliance. You are responsible for your own compliance with applicable competitive procurement, cooperative purchasing, conflict of interest disclosure, and vendor certification requirements. We will provide documentation we reasonably can, but we do not advise you on your procurement obligations.

We build this carve-out in because we sell to public entities regularly and would rather hand your purchasing office terms they can actually approve.

14. Governing law and disputes

Governing law. These Terms and any dispute arising out of them are governed by the laws of the State of Texas, without regard to conflict of laws principles. The U.N. Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply.

Venue. Subject to Section 13, any action must be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Dallas County, Texas, and you consent to personal jurisdiction there.

We have deliberately not included a mandatory arbitration clause or a class action waiver. If we have a dispute, we would rather talk to you first and go to a Texas court if that fails.

Talk to us first. Before filing anything, please contact us and give us 30 days to try to resolve it. Most problems are a delivery error or a misunderstanding about a label, and we would rather fix it than litigate it.

Notice of claim. Any claim arising out of a product or order must be brought within two years after the claim accrues, or the shortest period permitted by law if longer is required.

15. Indemnification by you

Subject to Section 13, and to the extent permitted by law, you agree to indemnify, defend, and hold us harmless from third-party claims, damages, losses, and reasonable attorneys' fees arising out of:

Your use, storage, handling, application, or disposal of any product in a manner inconsistent with its label, safety data sheet, or applicable law
Your failure to train, supervise, or provide protective equipment to your personnel
Your representations to third parties about product efficacy or regulatory compliance that go beyond the product label
Your breach of these Terms

This does not require you to indemnify us for our own negligence or willful misconduct.

16. General

Entire agreement. These Terms, together with any quote, invoice, or written agreement we sign, are the entire agreement between us on this subject and supersede prior discussions.

Order of precedence. If documents conflict: (1) a signed written agreement between us; (2) Section 13 for public entity customers; (3) these Terms; (4) our quote or invoice.

Severability. If any provision is held unenforceable, it will be modified to the minimum extent necessary or severed, and the rest remains in effect.

No waiver. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of it.

Assignment. You may not assign these Terms without our written consent. We may assign them in connection with a sale or merger of the business.

Force majeure. Neither of us is liable for delay or failure caused by events beyond reasonable control, including natural disaster, severe weather, labor disruption, carrier failure, manufacturer supply failure, utility or network outage, or government action.

Notices. Notices to us go to greg@gregthechemicalguy.com and to the mailing address below. Notices to you go to the email or address on your account.

Changes. We may update these Terms. The "Last updated" date will change, and material changes will be posted on this page. Changes are not retroactive — the version in effect when your order was accepted governs that order. Continued use of the Site after changes means you accept the updated Terms.

Survival. Sections 4, 5, 6, 9, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, and 16 survive termination.
