Terms & Conditions

1. Delivery Authorization. Buyer hereby authorizes Stewart’s Shops Corp., DBA Clarence Brown (Clarence Brown) to deliver various petroleum products, as may from time to time be delivered at the undersigned’s request or pursuant to an automatic delivery schedule.

2. Buyer Expectations / Communication: 

                      A. Clear Fill Area & Pipes: Buyer shall take all actions necessary to facilitate the prompt receipt of deliveries from Clarence Brown, including but not limited to keeping the fill area clear of snow, ice and other debris, and ensuring fill pipes are clear and unclogged.   

                      B. New Tank or Relocation.  Buyer will communicate to Clarence Brown, when a new tank has been installed or an existing tank relocated or unhooked for any reason. Such new tank or relocated tank must be inspected by Clarence Brown prior to fuel delivery.

                      C. Fuel Conversion. Buyer will notify Clarence Brown in writing if Buyer converts the type of fuel used for this structure.  Such notification will occur prior to conversion in order to coordinate timing to stop fuel deliveries.  Per VT law, Buyer is responsible for removing tanks and fill pipes (whether aboveground or located in the structure) at the same time as the conversion, to prevent delivery to a disconnected system.
