LPG Terms and Conditions

2. Sites

3. Term

4. Quantity of LPG to be Purchased

4.1 Notwithstanding any other clause of this Agreement, the Customer agrees to take and purchase from Genesis Energy the Minimum LPG Quantity across the total number of Sites during each Year, and where there is a part Year during the term of this Agreement, the Customer agrees to take and purchase the relevant proportion of the Minimum LPG Quantity across the total number of Sites for that part Year (and all references to "Year" in this clause 4 shall be interpreted so as to give effect to this intention).

4.2 Where this Agreement expires or is terminated for any reason other than the default of Genesis Energy (as set out in clause 17.1), then, without limiting any other remedies which Genesis Energy may have against the Customer, the Customer will pay to Genesis Energy an Adjustment Amount calculated as follows:

Adjustment Amount = the aggregate of ((Minimum LPG Quantity less LPG Used) x Price) for each Year plus all
Charges that would apply for the period between the date of expiration or termination of this Agreement and the Expiry Date.

Where:
LPG Used = the total Litres of LPG delivered at all Sites and paid for by the Customer during the relevant Year; and Price = the Price per Litre of LPG as stated in the Price Schedule (plus GST).

4.3 The Customer will pay any Adjustment Amount calculated under clause 4.2 within 10 Business Days of Genesis Energy making demand in writing for that payment, which must set out the basis for the calculation.

4.4 For the avoidance of doubt, where the LPG Used in any Year is greater than the Minimum LPG Quantity for that Year, then for the purposes of the formula in clause 4.2, the Minimum LPG Quantity less LPG Used for that Year is 0.

4.5 The following worked example of the adjustment amount is included only as a guide and does not affect the interpretation of clause 4.2:

An Agreement has a Start Date of 1 October 2014, an Expiry Date of 30 September 2017 and a Minimum LPG Quantity of 100 Litres (l) of LPG. If the Customer terminates the Agreement on 31 March 2016 (i.e. 18 months into the term) and the Customer used 120 Litres of LPG between 1 October 2014 and 30 September 2015 and 50 Litres (l) of LPG between 1 October 2015 and 31 March 2016, the adjustment amount payable by the Customer would be:

(a) For the Year 1 October 2014 to 30 September 2015: (100 - 120) x Price = 0
(b) For the Year 1 October 2015 to 30 September 2016: (100 - 50) x Price
(c) For the Year 1 October 2016 to 30 September 2017: (100 - 0) x Price
(d) For the period 31 March 2016 to 30 September 2017: the applicable Charges over this period.

The total Adjustment Amount payable by the Customer would be the aggregate of (a), (b), (c) and (d) above.

4.6 The Customer acknowledges that the amount payable under clause 4.2 represents a genuine pre-estimate of the minimum losses and costs that Genesis Energy expects to incur or suffer arising from the Customer’s failure to purchase the Minimum LPG Quantity in each Year during the term of this Agreement, and the Customer confirms that it considers that this amount is fair and reasonable.

4.7 Genesis Energy shall have no obligation to make delivery of any quantity of LPG in respect of which an Adjustment Amount is payable under clause 4.2.

4.8 Nothing in this clause 4 shall affect Genesis Energy’s ability to exercise any of its other rights under this Agreement or at law (including seeking compensation from the Customer in respect of any repudiation or breach of this Agreement).

6.7 The Customer undertakes to provide Genesis Energy with the written consent to the installation of the Supplied Equipment of every person (including the Customer itself) who has or obtains any legal or equitable interest in the Site(s) at which the Supplied Equipment is installed and the written acknowledgement of every such person that, unless the Main Terms provide otherwise:

(a) the Supplied Equipment is the property of Genesis Energy (or the Distribution Company, as applicable);
(b) the Supplied Equipment is and shall remain a chattel throughout the term of this Agreement; and
(c) following the expiry or termination of this Agreement for any reason the Supplied Equipment may be removed by Genesis Energy or the Distribution Company at any time.
