Terms and Conditions of Agreement

  1. A minimum usage of 400 gallons is required.
  2. Payment in full must be received upon receipt of your signed contract. Estes Oil & Propane will not bill customer.
  3. Customer shall be on Automatic Delivery and will remain on Automatic Delivery until customer calls to cancel.
  4. In order to participate in the Prebuy Plan, the customer's balance on the account must stay current.
  5. Customer who exceeds the estimated prepaid gallons prior to the end of the contract will be charged the daily cash rate at the time of delivery, and payment for those deliveries is due within 10 days.
  6. Customer shall provide truck access to fill pipes, including removal of ice and snow. Estes Oil & Propane reserves the right to charge the customer for wrecker charges should we need to be towed.
  7. At the end of the contract if more than 25% of unused gallons remain, we reserve the right to assess a liquidation damage charge. The charge will be the difference between the contract oil price and the cash price of the final date of the contract.
  8. Estes Oil and Propane will only deliver to customer due for regular delivery prior to the end of the contract period. Any remaining credit balance at the end of the contract period will be used to purchase additional gallons at the daily price or additional services provided by Estes Oil & Propane.
  9. Estes Oil & Propane, at its option, may take monies to apply to service charges that are not part of this agreement if monies owed exceed 30 days.
  10. The price fixed in this agreement is based on market conditions prevailing at the time of execution. Purchases are made by Estes Oil & Propane based on customer needs. Estes Oil & Propane assumes all risks if prices increase during this agreement. Customer agrees to pay the fixed price regardless of Estes Oil & Propane's standard daily retail pricing unless customer executes the downside protection.
  11. Estes Oil & Propane agrees to give the customer the daily rate if rate is lower than the fixed price indicated on the contract if the downside protection option is executed. The charge for downside protection is a SET CENTS-PER-GALLON FEE. PAYMENT IN FULL MUST BE RECEIVED WITH SIGNED CONTRACT.
  12. The price of this agreement is $4.19 per gallon (with a 40-cent price cap) for customers who sign up for a Prebuy Plan by June 5, 2026. Prebuy Plans will be offered until gallons purchased by Estes Oil & Propane are no longer available; however, the Prebuy Plan price is subject to change based on market conditions for customers who do not enroll by June 5, 2026. All Plans are valid until April 30, 2027.
  13. The price per gallon of this agreement is for delivered fuel only and does not include local, state or federal tax, tariff, sales tax, fees, customs, or duties (collectively, "taxes") required by law or assessed against, directly, or indirectly, fuel. All taxes will be charge to the account separately.
  14. We reserve the right to price plans on a weekly basis.
  15. Service included is the Blue Ribbon Plan ($499). See plan terms and conditions within the Estes Oil & Propane Service Plan brochure or at www.estesoil.com.
  16. Due to the volatile nature of the heating fuel market, early termination of the contract is subject to a liquidation damage charge. This charge is calculated as the difference between the contract and market prices at the time of termination, multiplied by the remaining unused gallons. In addition, an early termination fee of $550.00 will apply.
