Customer agrees to pay the Company annual tank rent during the time leased equipment is in Customer’s possession. No refunds will be issued for tank rental or purchases. The rental for the leased equipment will be $99 plus tax annually. The Leased Equipment is the property of the Company and will not become a fixture or part of Customer’s real property. The Customer agrees that adjustments, connections, or disconnections to the Leased Equipment will only be performed by the Company, unless in the case of an emergency. The Customer agrees to immediately notify the Company if Leased Equipment is damaged or malfunctions, or if the Customer experiences any problems related to the Leased Equipment.
- Payment Terms and Fees – Customer agrees to pay all fees, rates, and charges within 30 days after delivery of propane or services rendered to Customer. All payments made with a credit or debit card will incur a 3% processing fee. For e-checks, a $0.55 flat processing fee is imposed. Where law permits, Customer agrees a delivery ticket may be left on site or in another designated place as specified by the customer on completion of propane delivery. If Customer fails to pay any fees, rates, or charges within 30 days, the Company may lock Leased Equipment and/or remove Leased Equipment from Customer’s property until balance is paid in full. A $10.00 finance charge will apply to all balances not paid in full within 30-days from the date of service. The Company reserves the right to require the Customer to pay for propane deliveries or services in advance. The Company may, at its discretion, change the Customer’s billing status to cash on delivery (COD) if payment terms are violated and no other arrangements have been made. There will be no refunds issued for propane fuel purchased and delivered. For a complete listing of all fees, please contact us at info@svpropane.com.
- Release of Liability – Customer agrees that under no circumstances will the Company be held liable for incidental, consequential or special damages, including without limitation damage to Customer’s plumbing (and water damage from frozen pipes), septic system, driveway and/or landscaping. IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE CUSTOMER TO ADVISE THE COMPANY OF AREAS THAT COULD EXPOSE THE COMPANY TO DANGER, SUCH AS SEPTIC TANKS, WATER LINES, ELECTRICAL OVERHANGS, ETC. IF CUSTOMER DOES NOT ADVISE THE COMPANY’S FRONT OFFICE OF SUCH DANGERS, THE COMPANY WILL NOT BE HELD LIABLE.

Violation of this section will result in immediate removal of the Company’s equipment and all propane in our leased/rented tank without refund.
