Use a Compressed Air Usage Agreement to assign technical standards, billing methods, and risk allocation between supplier and consumer. Clear contractual terms minimize downtime, establish measurable service levels, and provide a basis for liability limitation and recovery in case of equipment failure or supply interruption.
Common signers include facility managers, utilities, and contracted service providers who manage compressed air systems at industrial sites.
Stakeholders should confirm authority to bind the organization and ensure technical annexes are attached for clarity on pressure and flow requirements.
An operations manager signs for the facility when authorized; they confirm load profiles, safety procedures, and acceptance criteria. Their signature signals operational acceptance and triggers the supplier's maintenance obligations under the agreement, so ensure internal approval workflows are documented before signing.
A supplier representative signs to accept service obligations, warranty terms, and billing methods. They must verify equipment ratings, meter calibration schedules, and emergency response times. Corporate signatory authority and insurance certificates should be attached to prevent disputes about scope or liability.
Describe equipment, service boundaries, metering points, and exact performance metrics such as minimum pressure, maximum flow, and acceptable deviation. This prevents ambiguity about what the supplier must provide during normal and peak conditions.
Specify unit rates, measurement intervals, demand charges, peak pricing adjustments, invoicing cadence, late fees, and dispute resolution process for contested bills to reduce commercial disagreements.
Include service level agreements for uptime, acceptable leakage rates, response time for repairs, calibration schedules, and financial remedies or service credits tied to missed targets.
Define preventive maintenance responsibilities, spare parts ownership, overhaul intervals, and access provisions for supplier technicians including safety training and site inductions. Also state emergency repair timelines and cost allocation for after-hours service.
Set limits on consequential damages, define indemnity scope for third-party claims, require insurance minimums, and state indemnification procedures including notice and cure periods and bonding requirements where applicable.
Specify termination for convenience, breach remedies, cure periods, final meter read and final accounting processes, and obligations surviving termination such as warranty, confidentiality, and records retention.
