IMPORTANT: CHANNEL ISLANDS FUELS CONTRACT WITH YOU

These terms and conditions, together with our Privacy Policy, govern the relationship between us and apply to any Goods or Services that you may purchase from us. They are important – each time you place an order you agree to be bound by them.

So, please read them carefully before ordering.

The latest (or a large font or braille) version of these terms and conditions can be found on our website (www.cifl.gg / www.cifl.je / terms-conditions) or by contacting your local depot.

If we make any substantial changes to these terms and conditions, we will write to you and include them on your delivery note – please check the reverse of your delivery notes regularly.

If you do not accept our terms and conditions, you should not order any Goods or Services from us. Please print or save a copy of these terms and conditions for your use.

1.WORDS WE USE IN THESE TERMS

In these terms and conditions we use the following phrases:

“Goods” – any goods that we agree to supply to you under these terms and conditions (including fuels).

Sometimes certain sections of these terms and conditions will only apply to the fuels that we supply (and not other goods). Where this is the case, we will use the term “Fuels”.

“Services” – the Planned Delivery Services as descried in section 7.

2.NOT FOR BUSINESS USE

These terms and conditions apply to consumers only; that means people who want to purchase our Goods or Services for personal use and not for any business purposes.

3.YOUR PERSONAL DETAILS

3.1 You will need to open an account with us to order our Goods and Services. You need to provide your name, address, telephone number and email address together with any special delivery instructions. All information you provide must be true and accurate. Over 18s only.

3.2 To ensure that your credit, debit or charge card is not being used without your consent, we may carry out certain identity, credit and fraud checks, including validating the personal information you give us during our ordering process. We use third party databases to do so. We reserve the right to change our checks from time to time.

3.3 If any problems arise we may require additional information (for example, photo ID such as a driving licence or passport). We may reject or cancel an order at any time if we are not satisfied with the information provided by you. It is important for us that you know exactly what personal details we collect from you and how we look after and use them. For example, we may want to contact you by letter, phone or email with news about our products or services relevant to you. Full details of the care we take are in our Privacy Policy – see www.cifl.gg / www.cifl.je /privacy-policy.

4.HOW IS THE CONTRACT FORMED BETWEEN US?

4.1 We may give you a quotation or price in person, online, in writing or by phone. All quotes and prices are valid only on the day we issue them. We may withdraw a quote or change the price at any time prior to acceptance. A quote or price is not an offer from us and cannot be accepted.

4.2 If you place an order with us (whether online, over the phone or otherwise), then that is an offer from you and we may choose whether or not to accept your order.

4.3 Where you order by phone, a contract is formed between us when we confirm on the phone that we have accepted your order.

4.4 Where you order via our website, a contract is formed between us when we send you written confirmation of your order.

4.5 Each order you place which is accepted by us forms a separate contract.

4.6 Contracts will be concluded in English. The details of your contract will be held by us.

5. WHAT YOU ARE BUYING

The Goods or Services will be described in our quotation, or on our website if you are buying online, and confirmed in our acceptance of your order. More product information is at www.cifl.gg / www.cifl.je. We may at any time and without notice: (i) alter the specification of the Goods to ensure that the Goods conform to any applicable safety or statutory requirements; and/or (ii) make minor modifications to the specification of the Goods that we consider necessary or desirable (and which should not have any material adverse effect on the performance of the Goods).

How we Deliver Goods and Services to You

5.1 We can deliver Goods within Guernsey or Jersey. There may be some exclusions to where we can deliver, but we will make this clear to you when placing your order. Our aim is to deliver to you by the delivery date in your quotation or written confirmation, or if no date is set out, within at least 30 days. However, this might not always be possible due to factors beyond our reasonable control. If there is a delay, we will try to contact you as soon as we can to agree a new delivery date.

5.2 Where you order by phone, we will deliver to the address you gave when you opened your account. If the delivery address will be different, please tell us when ordering. If you order online, we will deliver to the address you provide when ordering. We may sometimes deliver your order in instalments so don’t worry if your order seems to have been partially delivered. You will still only be charged one delivery charge (if applicable). Each instalment will be invoiced and must be paid for separately. If you have any queries about your order, or worry that it might be incomplete, then please contact Customer Services.

5.3 Delivery will be deemed to have taken place as follows:

• for Fuels delivered in bulk by road vehicle, when on discharge it passes the hose connection of the storage tank, container, receptacle, vessel or fill line (as the case may be) which you use for receiving delivery at your address; and

• for any other Goods (including Fuels delivered in barrels, packages or some other form), when the Goods are off-loaded from the delivery vehicle (or at such point as the Goods are collected by you).

5.4 If you ordered Fuels to be delivered in bulk and we can safely access your tank to fill it, you don’t need to be present when we deliver. In all other cases, it is your responsibility to ensure that someone is available at your delivery address on the date of delivery. If nobody is at home and there is no safe access to make the delivery, we will try to contact you by telephone. If we cannot do so, we will leave a note to explain and will try to contact you to rearrange the delivery.

5.5 If the delivery address you gave is wrong and your order is delivered to someone else, we cannot be responsible for any losses you may incur as a result – please check that the details you give us are correct.

5.6 In respect of each delivery of Fuels, you must:

• ensure that all necessary arrangements are put in place to safely accept each delivery including providing appropriate equipment to accept delivery, ensuring delivery and storage access is clear and available (noting that delivery vehicles are both larger and heavier than private cars) and ensuring that sufficient storage capacity is available, is safe and suitable for the Fuels, is clearly marked with product name (grade), safe working capacity and identification number, is provided with a safe means to check volume in tank before and during delivery and complies with any and all applicable laws and regulations;

• not climb onto any vehicle we use to deliver the Fuels; we may stop the relevant delivery if you attempt to do so;

• indicate to us the correct fill point for your tanks (please note that we are not responsible for dipping, checking or testing your tank(s));

• tell us about any safety or operating problems with you storage tank before we start delivery; any out of service equipment must be clearly marked and sealed / kept separate; and

• act sensibly and carefully with the Fuels. Handling the Fuels incorrectly can be dangerous. It is important for everyone’s safety that you know and comply with relevant health, safety and environmental law. If you have any doubts, you can obtain further advice from your local council or see the health and safety information on your delivery note / visit www.cifl.gg or www.cifl.je. If you collect the Fuels from us then you must comply with our policies and procedures regarding access to, and conduct at, our premises.

5.7 If we believe that it would be unsafe to make a delivery of Fuels to you then we may suspend that delivery until we are satisfied (acting reasonably) that it would be safe for us to proceed.

5.8 For Fuels that are delivered in bulk by road vehicle we will invoice you for the volume of Fuels actually delivered. We will not deliver more than you ordered unless you agree. We will always try to deliver the agreed volume of Fuels, but if we are unable to do so due to reasons beyond our reasonable control (for example, if there is not safe access to the tank; we deem the tank to be unsafe; or there is less space available in your tank than the amount of Fuels you ordered) and you have paid for the ordered Fuels in advance then we will only charge you for the Fuels delivered using the Unit Price (see section 5.12), to reflect the smaller amount of Fuels we were able to deliver. We will pay back to you the rest of the money you paid. If an urgent second delivery is required to top up to the amount you ordered, a Priority Charge may be payable under section 6.15 unless the under-delivery was our fault.

5.9 For Fuels that are delivered in bulk by road vehicle we record the delivery date, quantity and description of the Fuels delivered to you, and that record shall, in the absence of evidence to the contrary, be deemed to be conclusive proof of the date of delivery, the volume and type of Fuels delivered. If you believe that any information set out on your delivery note or invoice, is wrong then you must notify us in writing providing full details of any disputed element(s) as soon as possible.

5.10 If for any reason, other than our failure to comply with these terms, you: (i) fail to accept delivery of any of the Goods when they are ready to be delivered; (ii) fail to collect the Goods when they are ready for collection; (iii) wish to delay delivery, or (iv) do something which means that we are unable to deliver the Goods then we may:

• deliver the Goods you ordered to another customer which may mean that your delivery date may be delayed;

• at our option, charge you a reasonable “Failed Delivery Charge” which is the cost to us of delivering the Goods to you and returning them to our depot or delivering them to another customer, whichever is cheaper.

5.11 If you become aware that the wrong Goods have been delivered then you must stop using them immediately and tell us as soon as possible. We will discuss with you to arrange collection of the Goods or agree another solution.

What do you Pay for Goods and Services?

5.12 If you are ordering Goods online (excluding Fuels), the price of the Goods will be as set out on our website.

5.13 If you are ordering Fuels (whether by telephone or on our website), our quotation will clearly explain the price for the Fuels. We will tell you the:

• Unit Price – the price per litre excluding and including GST (if applicable) to help you compare our prices with other suppliers (who tend to give a GST (if applicable) exclusive price per litre) and see how much you may have to pay if you take more or fewer litres of Fuels than ordered; and

• Net Price – the total price for the Fuels you have ordered including GST (if applicable). We will also give you details of any other charges which may relate to your order (e.g. credit card surcharge). This total is the price that you will pay for your order.

5.14 Delivery charges: If your delivery is subject to a delivery charge, you will be told about it before you place your order.

5.15 Priority Charge: For purchases of Fuels, we offer a priority delivery service. If you want your Fuels to be delivered urgently, you may request a priority delivery. This will be shown on your quotation as a “Priority Charge”. If we are willing and able to make a priority delivery then we will do our best to deliver to you by the agreed delivery date. If for any reason we are unable to deliver by the agreed delivery date, then you will not be charged the Priority Charge (or it will be refunded to you if charged in advance).

5.16 Small Load Premium: One factor we use to calculate the Unit Price for Fuels is the amount of Fuels you have ordered. There is a cost to us in delivering each order so if we are unable to deliver your order due to something you have or haven’t done (for example, not enough space in your tank to take the amount ordered) then we may, at our option, charge for the cost to us of delivering the excess Fuels to you and returning them to our depot or another customer whichever is cheaper – typically this is £1.77 per mile. This charge will be shown on your invoice as the “Small Load Premium”.

6. WHAT ARE PLANNED DELIVERY SERVICES FOR FUELS?

6.1 We offer three planned delivery services for Fuels: (i) Automatic Tank monitoring (ATM), which uses an electronic device to measure the fuel remaining in your tank; (ii) the Degree Day Service, where we monitor the weather and your normal fuel use to estimate when you are likely to run low on fuel; and (iii) our “Top Up” service, where we “top-up” your tank according to an agreed delivery cycle; collectively, these are referred to as the “Planned Delivery Services”.

6.2 For the ATM service you will need an ATM device which we then operate for you – separate terms apply to the purchase or loan of the ATM device. Let us know if you want to receive this Service.

6.3 Our estimates are based on either: (i) the information provided by the ATM device, (ii) our understanding of your available storage, weather patterns and your past patterns of use, and/or (iii) our agreed delivery cycle. If you think that your storage tank or use of the Fuels is going to change (for example, you buy a new, smaller, tank or you extend your property) then tell us so that we can take it into account.

6.4 We will use our reasonable endeavours to ensure that you do not run out of the Fuels. However, we cannot guarantee that this will not happen, especially in periods of high use such as the winter when it can be very difficult for our drivers to make as many deliveries, safely, as may be required. Remember to check the fuel level in your tank regularly and tell us if you think that you are about to run out of the Fuels or will need more than usual.

6.5 If you have run out of (or are about to run out of) the Fuels then you should contact Customer Services and we will do our best to make an urgent delivery of the Fuels to you. The Priority Charge referred to in section 5.15 does not apply to urgent deliveries if you are a Planned Delivery Service customer.

6.6 As we plan our deliveries based on our estimate of your requirements, if you purchase fuels from another supplier without telling us then we may waste time and costs when we come to deliver the Fuels that we estimated you require. You therefore agree not to place orders with another supplier during the term of the contract. However, if you require Fuels urgently and we cannot deliver your order within a reasonable time then you may (for that reason only) place a one-off order with another supplier. If you place an order with another supplier so that we cannot deliver the Fuels we have estimated you need then we may, in addition to any other rights we might have, invoice you for the cost to us of delivering the Fuels to you and returning them to our depot or another customer whichever is cheaper – typically this is £1.77 per mile. You must tell us at least 7 days before you change address. If you don’t and a delivery is made to your old address then you must pay for the cost of the Fuels delivered to the old address.

6.7 The contract for Planned Delivery Service will carry on until we or you ask for it to end. We or you may end the contract at any time by giving notice (by letter or email) to the other party at least two weeks before the date you or we want the contract to end. What Do You Pay for the Planned Delivery Service?

6.8 Charges in respect of the Planned Delivery Services: You acknowledge that the Goods are a commodity product and as such the price at which we are able to source them and certain associated costs (such as transport) are subject to a considerable degree of fluctuation, often over very short timescales. However, we undertake that the Unit Price for the Goods we supply to you pursuant to our Planned Delivery Services will be equal to or less than our daily Schedule Price in effect as at the relevant date of delivery. Our “Schedule Price” is a per litre price which applies at a depot level and which is set by us on a daily basis. It is determined by reference to the cost of materials, labour, sub-contracts, credit costs, transport, storage, seasonality, exchange rates, taxes, duties, levies and all other relevant costs, together with our margin (which reflects the perceived value of the Services). You can obtain the historic Schedule Price applicable for any particular day by calling your local depot.

The Unit Price used to determine the relevant Charges in respect of each delivery may be set below the Schedule Price in effect on the date of delivery and factors that we apply when determining the relevant Unit Price may include (in addition to those used to determine the Schedule Price): the area in which you live; local market conditions and your storage capacity. The Unit Price will be set out on your invoice.

6.9 The Planned Delivery Services give you additional benefits of security of supply and the convenience of not having to place separate orders. As a result, the Unit Price and Net Price for Planned Delivery Services can be higher than those for normal one-off orders to cover the benefits to you and the extra administrative costs we incur in providing these Services.

6.10 Whenever we make a delivery to you pursuant to the Planned Delivery Services our driver will leave a meter stamped delivery note which sets out the applicable Unit Price and the delivery volume. In the absence of any clear evidence to the contrary, the volumes shown on this note will be deemed to be the quantity of the Fuels that we delivered to you.

7. HOW DO YOU PAY?

7.1 Where you are purchasing online, we ask you to pay for your Goods when you place your order.

7.2 Where you are purchasing Fuels or Services by phone, normally, we send you an invoice after delivery of the Fuels and/or the Services. However, we reserve the right to require you to pay for Fuels or Services when you place your order.

7.3 If you haven’t paid in advance, you must pay the amount on the invoice within 14 days’ of receipt.

7.4 Payments for Goods can be made by credit, debit, charge card, cheque or via internet or telephone banking unless otherwise agreed. For purchases by phone we may also accept cash (up to the value of £3000). If you pay using a credit card then we will charge you a reasonable card processing fee to cover our costs and the fees we incur from the credit card companies. Any credit card charge will be made clear to you at the time of order and will be shown on your invoice (where applicable).

7.5 Planned Delivery Services can be paid for by variable direct debit or the Easy Payment Plan (see below).Can We Help You Manage Your Budgets for Fuels?

7.6 Our Easy Payment Plan enables you to pay a monthly charge for the supply of Fuels for a 12 month period, to help you to better manage what you spend.

7.7 When you complete the form to receive the Planned Delivery Services and set up the Easy Payment Plan we will ask you questions about your property to estimate your likely annual consumption of the Fuels. We then multiply this figure by an estimated average Unit Price (plus GST (if applicable)) for the following 12 months which gives an estimated annual charge for the Fuels that you would use if you carry on as normal. This estimated annual Charge is then split into 12 equal parts to which gives a “Monthly Charge”. We will take the Monthly Charge from your bank account under a direct debit mandate which you complete with your application form. This Scheme is not open to anyone who owes us money unless you pay that money in full or we agree to other arrangements for the payment of that money. Any repayment arrangements will not affect our right to demand full payment for unpaid money immediately at any time.

7.8 We will monitor your use of the Fuels as part of our Planned Delivery Service and if we think that your use of the Fuels means that we need to vary the Monthly Charges we will tell you prior to us making any change to the Monthly Charge.

7.9 Either you or we can cancel the Easy Payment Plan (and the related direct debit) by giving notice to the other in writing (by letter or email) one month before you/we want it to end. If the Easy Payment Plan is cancelled we will increase or decrease your last Monthly Charge to include any extra amount / refund needed so that the Monthly Charges match the Fuels you have received under the Planned Delivery Services. If you cancel the Planned Delivery Service, this Easy Payment Plan will automatically end at the same time.

8. WHAT HAPPENS IF YOU DON’T PAY ON TIME?

8.1 If you do not pay us on time (or if your direct debit is returned unpaid by your bank or is otherwise late) we may do any or all of the following:

• cancel or suspend the contract (and any other contracts we have with you);

• withdraw any current quotations or refuse to accept any further orders from you;

• cancel any discount we previously offered to you under the contract;

• without telling you suspend or cancel delivery of the Goods (and/or performance of the Services) under the contract, and any other contract, until you pay the amounts you owe us in full; and/or

• require you to pay interest on the outstanding amount, calculated on a daily basis from the due date for payment up to the date of actual payment, at the rate of 4% above the base lending rate of Natwest Bank from time to time.

9. CAN YOU CANCEL AND RECEIVE A REFUND?

You’ve Changed Your Mind and Want to Cancel

9.1 You can cancel any order for Fuels on any day prior to the date of delivery. You need to call your depot or send the appropriate cancellation form by fax or email to confirm you don’t want the Fuels. If our tanker is already on the way to you on the date agreed with you then we may charge you £1.77 per mile which is the cost to us of the wasted journey.

9.2 You can cancel an order for Goods (including Fuels in barrels but excluding other Fuels) or Services as follows:

• for Goods (including Fuels in barrels but excluding other Fuels) – within 14 days beginning on the day after you received the last of the Goods in your order;

• for Services – within 14 days beginning on the day after the contract was concluded under section 4.3.

We are sorry but for Fuels, once our Fuel is mixed with your Fuel in your tank, you cannot cancel your order.

9.3 To cancel your order for Goods (including Fuels in barrels but excluding other Fuels), you must tell us that you want to cancel either by completing and sending us the appropriate cancellation form (which you can find on our website at www.cifl.gg / www.cifl.je (and enclosed in the welcome pack for Fuels or Services customers)) or by writing to us at Guernsey – Channel Island Fuels Limited North Side, Vale, Guernsey GY1 3WN or, for customers in Jersey, CIFL Channel Islands Fuels Limited La Collette, St Helier, JE2 3NX. To meet the cancellation deadline, it is sufficient for you to send us your cancellation notice before the cancellation period has expired.

9.4 If you cancel an order for Goods (other than Fuels), we will reimburse to you all payments received from you including the costs of delivery (except for any additional cost arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive we offer). We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any Goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you. You must return any cancelled Goods you have received to us without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you tell us you want to cancel. The deadline is met if you send back the Goods before the 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning any Goods. Where Goods cannot be returned by post we will confirm return charges before entering the contract with you.

9.5 If you cancel an order for Services, we will repay to you all payments received from you except those set out in section 9.6.

9.6 We will not start any Services during the cancellation period set out in section 9.1 unless you clearly ask us to. You can ask us either by telephone or in writing. If you ask us to start any Services during the cancellation period, you must pay us for Services provided up to the time you cancel. You must pay an amount which is in proportion to what we have done, in comparison with everything due under the contract.

9.7 We will repay you any sums due to you in accordance with this section 9 without unnecessary delay and within:

• 14 days after the day we receive back from you any Goods supplied; or

• if earlier, 14 days after the day you provide evidence that you have returned the Goods; or

• if no Goods are supplied, within 14 days from the day you told us you want to cancel.

If you have not yet paid for your cancelled order, then we will not charge you for it.

9.8 Where we repay you, we will use the same method of payment you used to pay (unless you agree otherwise); we will not charge you any fees to repay you. If we are allowed to charge you for any Services under section 9.6 we may either reduce the amouint we repay you or require you to pay the amount to us separately. What If You Are Not Happy with the Goods / Services?

9.9 We do our best to get things right and provide our Services with reasonable skill and care.

9.10 The Goods you receive will be what we have agreed to supply when you place your order. The Goods shall be as set out in the contract.

9.11 We promise to you that the Goods will:

• match the description (if any) we have given you;

• be of satisfactory quality;

• be fit for their purpose; and

• meet all applicable legal requirements.

This promise (also known as a warranty) will also apply to any replacement Goods that we provide under section 9.14

9.12 The warranties in section 9.11 do not apply to any problem caused by your (or someone else’s) negligence, failure to follow our instructions for storage, use or maintenance of the Goods, or if you make any use of the Goods after realising that there is a problem with them or if you alter, modify, mishandle or try to solve the problem with the Goods without our agreement beforehand.

9.13 If you are worried about the Goods or Services we have supplied, please call Customer Services who will do their best to help you.

9.14 If the Goods do not meet the promises in section 9.11 you can tell us if you want us to replace the Goods or give you a credit note or refund at the Unit Price (plus GST (if applicable). You must have told us in writing about the problem under section

9.11 within one week of discovering the problem. We can ask you to send us reasonable evidence of any Goods affected by the problem.

9.15 The guarantees provided above are in addition to your legal rights about goods that are faulty or not as described or services that are performed poorly. If you feel you need help contact your local Citizens Advice Bureau or Trading Standards office.

10. WHAT DOES CHANNEL ISLANDS FUELS DO IF SOMETHING IS WRONG?

10.1 Subject to section 10.3 below, our liability to you for any breach of these terms and conditions shall be limited to replacing the Goods and/or Services purchased from us under the order in question, at your option refunding you the price paid by you for such Goods or Services or, in the case of damage to your physical property, that damage which is a reasonably expected consequence of the relevant breach.

10.3 Nothing in these terms and conditions excludes or limits our liability for:

• death or personal injury caused by our negligence;

• any other matter for which the law does not allow us to exclude or attempt to exclude our liability.
