Can this be signed electronically?

Yes. Electronic signatures are generally enforceable under the ESIGN Act and UETA when parties manifest intent, consent to electronic records, attribution is clear, and the record is retained. Verify exceptions—certain testamentary or court filing documents remain unsuitable for eSignature.

Is notarization required for this agreement?

Not typically required for general commercial fuel supply contracts, but state or local rules can require notarization when the agreement creates or transfers an interest in real property, or for certain affidavits. Remote online notarization availability varies by state; confirm with the local notary authority.

Who should sign on behalf of a company?

An authorized representative with corporate signing authority should execute the agreement—typically an officer or a person identified in a corporate resolution. If authority is not evident, attach a board resolution or power of attorney to confirm capacity and avoid enforceability questions.

What insurance should be required?

Common insurance requirements include general liability, pollution liability for environmental exposure, and commercial auto when vehicles are involved. Specify limits, additional insured endorsements, required certificates, and waiver of subrogation where applicable to allocate financial responsibility.

How are fuel quality disputes resolved?

Include sampling and third-party laboratory standards, notice and holdback timelines, and remedies such as replacement fuel, credit, or indemnity. Clear, stepwise testing and dispute timelines reduce operational interruptions and litigation risk.

How long should executed copies be retained?

Retain executed agreements for the contract term plus at least three years to meet tax and commercial audit needs. Environmental records, insurance certificates, and hazardous materials logs may require longer retention under federal or state rules.

What a Refueling Station Agreement Covers

A Refueling Station Agreement is a contract that defines the parties' rights and obligations for supplying, storing, dispensing, and managing fuel at a commercial or institutional fueling location. It identifies the supplier, site owner or operator, payment and pricing terms, delivery schedules, metering and reconciliation processes, testing and acceptance criteria, insurance and indemnity obligations, environmental and safety compliance responsibilities, and termination procedures that govern the business relationship.

Why a Clear Agreement Matters for Fuel Operations

A well-drafted Refueling Station Agreement allocates operational and financial risk, sets measurable expectations for deliveries and quality, and documents compliance and insurance responsibilities so both supplier and operator can reduce disputes and enforce remedies.

Who Typically Uses This Agreement

Intended users include fuel distributors, station owners, site operators, fleet managers, and public agencies that manage fueling operations.

Fuel suppliers negotiating delivery frequency, pricing formulas, and product quality provisions with retail or commercial stations.
Site owners licensing premises or assigning an operator responsibility for daily fueling activities and site maintenance.
Fleet managers securing dedicated access, consolidated billing, and controls to prevent unauthorized fueling across vehicle pools.

Parties should tailor terms to transaction type — supply contract, site lease/license, or operator services — and confirm signatory authority before execution.

Core Sections to Include in a Refueling Station Agreement

A practical agreement groups the contract into supply specifications, site access rules, safety and compliance, financial terms, insurance and indemnity, and termination and dispute procedures to make rights and obligations easy to find.

Supply Terms

Defines fuel grades, delivery schedules, minimum volumes, pricing formulas, sampling and acceptance criteria, and remedies for off-spec or missed deliveries to reduce commercial disputes.

Site Access

Specifies hours of access, authorized personnel, key control, fueling procedures, maintenance responsibilities, and emergency shutdown protocols for safe site operation.

Safety & Compliance

Allocates responsibility for permits, spill prevention and response, routine inspections, training, and compliance with applicable environmental and workplace safety regulations.

Metering & Reconciliation

Describes metering standards, reconciliation cycles, dispute notice windows, correction methods, and billing adjustments tied to calibrated meter data.

Insurance & Indemnity

Sets insurance types and limits, additional insured requirements, certificate delivery timing, and mutual indemnification for third-party claims and environmental cleanup costs.

Termination & Remedies

Outlines termination triggers, cure periods, liquidated damages or recovery methods, and post-termination obligations for remaining inventory or equipment removal.
