Heating Fuel Plans

Budget Cap Agreement

Maritime Energy agrees to sell for the 2025-2026 heating season (from June 1, 2025 to May 31, 2026) with a Price Cap of $price per gallon per gallon. This agreement is a guarantee that your cost of [FUEL PRODUCT] will not exceed [$ PRICE] per gallon. If our cash price on the date of delivery is less than or equal to the Price Cap, the customer will receive the cash price minus two cents per gallon (our cash price minus four cents per gallon if the monthly payment is made via auto-pay).

The customer is fully aware that the monthly payment is based on an estimated amount of gallons. Any balance due on the account is to be paid in full prior to June 1, 2026. However, at any time during the season the customer may be contacted to increase (or decrease) the amount of the monthly payment if it is determined that the estimated gallons are inaccurate. Furthermore, the terms of this agreement may be voided by Maritime Energy at any time during the season if payments are in arrears.

Maritime Energy will consider this agreement valid once we receive the first monthly payment. If the first monthly payment is not received within thirty days from the Date of Agreement, then the Price Cap will not apply.

The agreement price does not include taxes. Any existing or new changes to governmental (both state & federal) taxes, tariffs or fees shall be passed on to the buyer, whether existing to the effective date of the agreement or modified/imposed after the effective date of the agreement or applying retrospectively if the government does so. Maritime Energy will only pass along the costs that are charged to the company.

Performance of this agreement will be secured by one of the options set forth under Maine law, 10 M.R.S.A. 1110(2)

Fixed Price Budget

Maritime Energy (“Company”) agrees to sell and [CUSTOMER NAME] (“Customer”) agrees to purchase [GALLONS QTY] gallons of  for the 2025-2026 heating season (June 1, 2025-May 31, 2026). The Company is to supply the Customer’s fuel oil / Propane on an uninterrupted automatic delivery basis at a fixed price of [$PRICE] per gallon at the location(s) associated with the following account(s) [CUSTOMER ACCOUNT #] (“Premises)”.

Customer agrees to purchase all of Customer’s heating oil / Propane from Company subject to the following conditions:

1. The total due is $TOTAL DUE in ## equal payment of $ PAYMENT AMOUNT. Each payment is due on or before the tenth of each month beginning MONTH DAY, 2025. Company shall reduce Customer’s deposit after each fuel oil / Propane delivery. Payment includes: Service Plan(s): Y/N

2. It is a Maine law that Company must purchase fixed gallons from a supplier for fixed gallons sold to Customer. Performance of this contract by Maritime is secured by one of the options set forth under Maine law, Title 10 M.R.S.A. Section 1110(2). The Customer acknowledges that in order for Company to be in compliance with Maine law, Company must make early purchase agreements with suppliers.  The customer is fully aware that the price of fuel oil / Propane is very volatile and there is the possibility that the retail cash price may drop below the contract price during the season. The Customer agrees that fluctuation of fuel oil / Propane price does not relieve the Customer of the obligation to continue to receive oil / Propane deliveries at the contract price at all times during the contract period. Likewise, if the retail cash price of fuel should rise above the contract price, the Company agrees to continue to deliver fuel at the contract price. The only exception is if new state/federal taxes are imposed against heating oil / Propane sale. Please refer to paragraph #8.

3. Fuel oil / Propane will be automatically delivered to Customer by Company to the Premises only.

4. If prepaid gallons are all used prior to the end of the heating season (May 31, 2026), the Customer agrees to remain on automatic delivery. Automatic delivery will continue at the retail cash price on the day of delivery, not the contract price. At the end of the heating season (May 31, 2026), the Customer will remain on automatic delivery at the retail cash price, unless the customer notifies the Company or the Customer signs up with the Company for the next season’s plan. In the instance of the sale of Customer’s property the Customer may sell the remaining undelivered gallons to the new owner. The new owner shall be required to sign a new contract with the Company if the customer elects to buy the gallons.

5. Since weather cannot be predicted and, therefore, it is difficult to predict the exact amount of fuel that you will actually need in any given year, we offer to help by holding you to only 90% of the contracted amount.

Customer must take delivery of at least 90% of the above contracted gallons. If the Customer fails to take delivery of 90% of the contracted gallons, then the Customer may be subject to liquidated damages defined as the difference between the contract price per gallon and the cash price. The damages will be determined at the end of the contract period May 31, 2026. For instance, if the customer contracts for $3.75 per gallon and the cash price falls to $3.00 per gallon, the liquidated damages is $0.75 per gallon. The cash price will be defined as the greatest price spread during the contract period. This penalty does not provide the customer with the ability for a buyout to cancel this contract. In addition to liquidated damages, the customer will be responsible for a $1.00 per gallon additional fee for the Company’s cost beyond liquidated damages. The penalty applies to all unused gallons up to 90% of the contract total. In the event of legal action to collect said penalty or to resolve any other breach of this contract, the Customer shall be responsible for all of Company’s costs, including reasonable attorney fees.  (Example: If a customer contracts for 1,000 gallons at $3.75 per gallon, the customer pays the Company $3,750.00. If the Customer only burns 700 gallons, then the penalty will be 900 (90%)-700=200 gallons x $0.75 (as in example above)=$150.00 + $200.00 ($1.00 x 200 gallons)=$350.00 + any potential Company legal fees. Therefore, pending there are no legal fees the Customer would get a refund of $775.00 ($1125.00 (300 gallons unused x $3.75)-$350.00)=$775.00.

6. Company shall not be held responsible for any damage or loss to Customer resulting from failure or delay in making deliveries which may be due to strike, accident, fire, war, Act of God or any other cause beyond Company’s control, whether or not similar to the causes enumerated herein.

7. This contract may be terminated by the Company if the Customer substantially fails to abide by his or her obligations hereunder, or fails to pay money owed to the Company for goods and services other than fuel oil / Propane subject to this contract.

8. The contract price does not include taxes. Any existing or new changes to governmental (both state & federal) taxes, tariffs or fees shall be passed on to the buyer, whether existing to the effective date of the contract or modified/imposed after the effective date of the contract or applying retrospectively if the government does so. Maritime Energy will only pass along the costs that are charged to the company.

9. Customer shall provide safe access to the fill pipe / tank, including snow and ice removal. Company may refuse to deliver if access is not clear and Company will not be responsible for any damages incurred because Customer failed to provide safe access to the fill pipe / tank.

10. Due to the cost of credit card processing fees, if Customer pays by a means other than check/cash/electronic fund transfer, there will be an additional 5 cent per gallon fee.

11. At the end of the plan year, if the Customer has a credit balance and has used 90% of his contracted gallons, the Customer may receive a cash refund or apply the credit towards the next year’s plan.

12. Residential customers will receive 0.2% interest on any credit balance.
