ACCEPTANCE OF THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS. By accepting or requesting propane delivery or propane-related services from Company or by entering into an agreement with Company (an “Agreement”) which incorporates these Terms and Conditions, you agree to these revised Terms and Conditions in their entirety. Unless your propane supply agreement with Company does not permit modification, this shall serve as a notice of termination of your previous agreement and an offer to do business under these Terms and Conditions. If you find these Terms and Conditions unacceptable, you may reject this offer by terminating your service. THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS REQUIRE THAT DISPUTES BE RESOLVED INDIVIDUALLY IN BINDING ARBITRATION OR SMALL CLAIMS COURT. IN ARBITRATION, THERE IS NO JUDGE OR JURY AND THERE IS LESS DISCOVERY AND LESS APPELLATE REVIEW THAN IN COURT. YOU MAY REJECT THE ARBITRATION PROVISION BY SENDING WRITTEN NOTICE WITHIN THIRTY (30) DAYS OF YOUR ACCEPTANCE OF THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS, AS DESCRIBED IN SECTION 15. 2. TERM. Your term is the period of time for which you have agreed to maintain service with us. If you did not sign a customer agreement, your term will be three years from the date on which you began service with Company by receiving your first delivery of propane (the “Initial Term”) and WILL AUTOMATICALLY RENEW MONTH- TO- MONTH THEREAFTER (each a “Renewal Term”) unless either you or Company provides the other with advance written notice of non-renewal at least thirty (30) days prior to the end of the Initial Term or the then-current Renewal Term.

We recommend purchasing a LP gas detector and a Carbon Monoxide detector. 4. LEASED EQUIPMENT. A. General Provisions. Company will lease and provide to you a propane storage tank or cylinder, first stage or twin- stage regulator(s) (unless otherwise agreed in writing), and related equipment, and, if applicable in Company’s sole discretion, Company may lease and provide to you tank monitors or propane meters (collectively “Leased Equipment”). In its sole discretion, Company may exchange the Leased Equipment for other equipment more compatible with Customer’s actual use. In the interest of safety, you will not allow anyone to make any adjustments, connections or disconnections to the Leased Equipment or remove or pump-out the Leased Equipment without our written permission. You will notify Company immediately if you suspect that Leased Equipment is damaged, malfunctions or if you experience any problems. Only propane sold by Company will be used with Leased Equipment. You agree that if you sell your property, you will notify Company at least thirty (30) days in advance and will inform the buyer that Leased Equipment is owned by Company.

The amount of Tank Rent can vary depending on, among other things, the size of the tank, the location of the property, and your annual usage. Tank Rent may be increased on an annual basis due to inflation or other factors. For certain Customers who entered into prior minimum use arrangements with Company, Tank Rent is waived if they meet certain minimum propane use requirements. For these Customers, Tank Rent is waived if the Customer purchases two (2) times the water capacity of the tank within the prior twelve (12) months of the Customer’s contract year. Please contact 1- 800-AmeriGas if you have questions about the Tank Rent that is applicable to you.

A monthly Meter Fee as defined in Section 6(B) below applies to customers who have meters. 5. 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, Company’s employees, your property, or the public. You agree that Company may lock off your equipment, the Leased Equipment, and/or suspend service if Company believes an unsafe condition exists. B. Delivery Options. Company offers two types of propane delivery: •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. •Will Call – 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. Company assesses a Will Call Convenience Fee per delivery. Expedited delivery requests may be assessed an Expedited Delivery Fee or an Emergency Delivery Fee. For more information about these fees, see Section 6B. C. Propane System Maintenance and Repair. You are responsible for the maintenance and repair of all equipment that you own (“Customer-Owned Equipment”), including compliance with applicable laws and regulations. You are required to notify us in the event that you disconnect the propane system or add or remove appliances so that we may conduct a leak check. 6. PRICING, FEES, AND CHARGES. A. Price. Unless you enter into a fixed-pricing agreement with us 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 by the Company, and includes, among other things, our 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 review information on our website or contact 1-800-AmeriGas 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.
