6.PROPANE SERVICE, MAINTENANCE, AND DELIVERY.

A. General Conditions. Company may choose not to deliver propane or perform services if, in its sole discretion, it believes that doing so will pose an unnecessary risk of injury or harm to you, its employees, or the public. You agree that Company may lock off your equipment, the Leased Equipment, or suspend service if Company believes an unsafe condition exists.

B. Delivery Options. Company offers two types of propane delivery:

1. Automatic – Under this worry-free delivery option, Company will make deliveries to you on either a fixed-cycle basis or upon a number of forecasting factors, including temperatures and usage patterns. To ensure accurate forecasting, please update Company with any changes in your usage.

2. Will Call (Customer Owned Tanks Only) – Under this delivery option, Company will deliver propane only after you request a delivery. Company recommends you order a delivery when your tank is approximately 30% full to ensure a timely delivery. Most Will Call deliveries are made within 5-10 business days after you place an order. Weather and other factors may affect delivery times. Expedited delivery requests may be assessed a Special Trip Charge.

C. Propane System Maintenance and Repair. Only the Company may maintain and repair Company Owned equipment. You are responsible for the maintenance and repair of all equipment that you own, including compliance with applicable laws and regulations. Whether you have Company or Customer Owned equipment, you are required to notify us any time you disconnect the propane system or add or remove appliances so that we may conduct a leak check.

7. PRICING, FEES, RATES, AND CHARGES.

A. Price. Unless you enter into a fixed-pricing agreement you agree to pay Company’s price per gallon of propane in effect when you place an order or for Automatic deliveries, on the date of delivery. This price is set at Company’s discretion, and includes, among other things, taxes, our costs to procure the propane, freight and transportation. Your price per gallon may vary depending upon the volume of propane you purchase, customer classification, propane tank ownership, and competitive conditions. We encourage you to contact your local Company office to discuss which pricing options may be best for your needs and to receive current pricing information, as prices change frequently and without prior notice.

B. Current Fees and Charges. Company may apply these and/or other fees and charges depending on the services requested and/or required. The fees and charges provided below are the most frequently assessed, but other fees and charges may apply depending on the services rendered. Please contact your local office for specific questions and updated amount information. THE FEES LISTED BELOW ARE NOT GOVERNMENT IMPOSED, NOR IS ANY PORTION OF THEM PAID TO ANY GOVERNMENT AGENCY. COMPANY RESERVES THE RIGHT TO CHANGE ITS FEES, RATES, AND CHARGES WITHOUT PRIOR NOTICE.

C. Early Termination Fee – You have received certain benefits from Company in exchange for your service commitment. If you terminate propane service with Company prior to the end of the Initial Term, Company will charge you an Early Termination Fee of $149.99. Upon early termination, Customer shall forfeit to the Company all propane remaining in the tank for no consideration.

D. Safety Compliance Fee –This fee is assessed on propane deliveries and helps to offset the costs Company incurs to comply with federal, state and local government regulations, such as those relating to hazardous materials, homeland security, emergency preparedness and workplace safety. It is also used to fund, among other things, employee safety training, inspections, cylinder requalification, and environmental compliance. This fee is $7.99 per delivery.

E. Leak Check Charge – This charge is applied when Company performs a gas system check to verify that the propane system does not have a leak. This test is required by law under certain circumstances, which may include: when a new piping system is installed, if the gas has been turned off for any reason, if there has been an interruption of gas service (including an empty tank), or if a leak in the system is suspected. Your local office can provide specifics on when a leak check is required and the current charge.

F. Pump-Out/Restocking Charge – Upon termination of service, Company may be required to pump out the propane from a Company-owned tank that contains propane in excess of 5% water capacity in order to remove it. The process may occur at the Company’s facility due to safety requirements. You can avoid this charge by continuing service with Company until the supply of propane in the tank is less than 5%. This charge is $149.99.

G. Reconnect Charge – If your tank is locked off by Company due to nonpayment, this fee will be assessed to remove the lock, perform a Gas Check and put your propane system back into service. This charge is $79.99.

H. Returned Check Fee – This fee is intended to cover the deposit return fee assessed by financial institutions and related administrative expenses associated with the return of a customer check for insufficient funds. This fee is $40.00.

I. Service Dispatch Charge – This applies when a service technician is requested to perform diagnostic or other service work on a Customer-owned propane storage system equipment or needs to pick-up Leased Equipment. This charge is $75.00. This charge will not be credited toward service work performed and additional charges may be assessed depending upon the nature of the service work required.

J. Special Trip Charge – This applies when you request a delivery within forty-eight (48) hours or non-emergency service after business hours or on weekends. This charge can vary due to the distance involved and/or the time required to meet the request and can be obtained by contacting your local office.

K. Late Fees – See Section 9.

L. Minimum Usage Fee – See Section 4B.

9. PAYMENT TERMS AND LATE FEES. If you have received credit terms from Company, you will be billed after propane is delivered or services are rendered, unless you have enrolled in a budget payment program. You agree to pay the invoiced amount on or before the due date indicated on the invoice. If you dispute an invoice, you must contact your local office within thirty (30) days of receipt. If you fail to timely pay all amounts owed to Company, Company may, unless prohibited by law, add a monthly late charge of 1.5% of the average daily balance until paid. If you fail to make a payment on your outstanding amount owed, Company may, after providing written notice to you, suspend service and/or place a lock on Leased Equipment. If Company places a lock on Leased Equipment, all amounts outstanding (including the applicable Reconnect Charge) must be paid in full before service will be restored. Company may at any time require you to pay for propane deliveries or services in advance, to post a cash deposit, or to provide other forms of credit enhancement.

Company, may however, in its sole discretion, repurchase the propane remaining in the tank in certain circumstances. If Company determines to repurchase the remaining propane, the repurchase price will be based upon the lower of the price per gallon that you paid or Company’s current price.

4. Company may terminate your service immediately and without prior notice if you fail to satisfy any material provision contained in these Terms and Conditions, including but not limited to making payment. Company reserves the right to terminate service or suspend deliveries if Company determines, in its sole discretion that a condition exists that poses a health or safety threat to its employees, you or the public.
