  • The Parties desire to enter into this Agreement for the exchange of equipment for valuable consideration. Accordingly, in consideration of the mutual promises set forth below, Propane Ninja and Customer agree as follows:

    1. Purpose.

    Customer agrees to purchase LP gas exclusively from Propane Ninja for the purpose of resale on a new or exchange basis to Customer’s located on the Premises. Propane Ninja will provide Cages to store the barbeque propane gas cylinders (“Cylinders”). Propane Ninja will provide these Cages and Cylinders according to the terms set forth in this Agreement.

    2. Equipment

    Customer agrees to lease the following equipment:

  • Customer acknowledges that the Cages and Cylinders will remain the sole property of Propane Ninja. Propane Ninja may enter Customer’s Premises at any reasonable time to inspect, service, or remove Propane Ninja property or to otherwise perform duties or obligations set forth in this Agreement. The Cages will be solely used for the Cylinder Exchange program between Customer and Propane Ninja as described in this Agreement. Customer agrees that only Cylinders provided by Propane Ninja or cylinders exchanged by customers will be stored in the Cages. Customer further agrees to surrender any Propane Ninja property if or when this Agreement terminates for any reason.


    The Parties recognize that Customer will allow the supplied Cylinders to be exchanged with cylinders from third parties. These exchange cylinders will become the property of Propane Ninja; however, it is the responsibility of the Customer to ensure that the exchange cylinders are of the same type as the Cylinders supplied by Propane Ninja (cylinders must have the same type of overfill protection device as that on Cylinders supplied by Propane Ninja). Propane Ninja will assess a charge for any cylinder exchanged that does not conform to these requirements equal to the cost assessed to Customer of a standard Propane Ninja Cylinder at the time the non-conforming cylinder is provided. Customer is responsible for any loss, theft, and/or vandalism to the Cages and Cylinders. The above replacement costs for Cylinders and Cages are subject to change in accordance with the Spread Pricing Sheet discussed in Section 3.

  • 3. Pricing and Payment

    Propane Ninja agrees to sell, supply, and deliver LP gas to Customer at the initial rate of

  • per tank, plus applicable taxes, charges, and fees. All Cylinders will be inspected thoroughly and filled prior to delivery to Customer. Customer acknowledges that Propane Ninja’s costs may increase, and occasionally price variations from the suppliers and increased operating costs may change the cost to Propane Ninja in connection with supplying Customer’s LP gas. Customer agrees that changes in Propane Ninja’s price of LP gas, due to the fluctuations in costs associated with providing Customer with LP gas, will be passed on to the Customer without notice. Propane Ninja reserves the right to alter the pricing per Cylinder based on the volume (or variation thereof) of Cylinders purchased at each delivery in accordance with a Spread Pricing Sheet provided to Customer at the time of execution of this Agreement. The Spread Pricing Sheet is subject to change under the same terms and conditions listed above. Customer agrees that Propane Ninja will be the sole and exclusive supplier for all of Customer’s LP gas requirements for Customer’s operations. Customer is responsible for any applicable fees for licensing and insurance associated with the resale of Cylinders at Customer’s Premises.

    4. Term of Agreement.

    The term of this Agreement shall be three years from the date signed by the Customer and continue from year to year thereafter until terminated by Customer, at the expiration of the original term or any anniversary thereafter, upon sixty days prior written notice to Propane Ninja. Propane Ninja has the right to terminate this Agreement at any time. The Agreement will automatically and immediately terminate with respect to Premises if that Premises ceases to operate for any reason. Upon termination or Breach of this Agreement, no part of any payments or installation charges shall be refundable and Propane Ninja shall have the right, without being guilty of any trespass, to enter upon Customer’s Premises to remove the Equipment. Propane Ninja shall not be held liable for any injury or damage to the Premises as a result of the removal of the Equipment and Customer hereby waives and releases any claims it may have against Propane Ninja with respect to the removal of the Equipment.

Customer agrees that Propane Ninja, in accordance with Section 3, shall have the right from time to time to change the payment terms. Customer understands and agrees that failure to pay Propane Ninja in accordance with the terms listed in this Agreement provides Propane Ninja with the right to discontinue Customer’s service at any time.

    6. Breach of Agreement.

    In the event of a breach of this Agreement by Customer, Propane Ninja shall be entitled to exercise any and all rights and remedies afforded it at law and equity. Propane Ninja shall seek the following non-exhaustive list of remedies: damages, loss of revenue and

    of Customer’s breach, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs. The Parties stipulate that Customer shall be responsible for paying Propane Ninja a sum equal to the average monthly charges during the three months prior to the breach multiplied by the number of months remaining in the term (whether the initial three-year term or a one-year renewal term) as liquidated damages. The Parties stipulate that this amount does not amount to a penalty nor is it disproportionate to any actual damages that would be recoverable from Customer’s breach. Customer also agrees to pay Propane Ninja the sum of $750.00
    to remove the Cylinders and Cage(s) from the Premises, which Customer acknowledges is a minimum reasonable reimbursement for the cost of the removal of the Equipment.
