Please feel free to browse this Site, but note that users of this Site and the services (“you”) are subject to these Terms and all applicable laws Lawman’s Oil may deny you access to this Site if you fail to comply with the Terms or applicable laws. All content on this Site may be changed, added, removed or updated at any time; however, Lawman’s Oil is under no obligation to do so.
- Acceptance of Terms of Use and Amendments. Each time you use or access this Site or the services, you agree to be bound by these Terms, as they may be amended from time to time. If you disagree with these Terms, your exclusive remedy is to discontinue your use of this Site. In addition, if you are using a particular service on or through this Site, you will be subject to any rules or guidelines applicable to those services and they shall be incorporated by reference into these Terms. Please also see our Privacy Policy [link], which is also incorporated into these Terms by reference. In order to use this Site, you must be at least eighteen (18) years of age or older.
- Order and Delivery Services; Cancellation. You may use this Site to make online orders and online payments for the delivery of heating oil from Lawman’s Oil. While Lawman’s Oil cannot guarantee any delivery times for your heating oil delivery, Lawman’s Oil will use reasonable efforts to deliver your heating oil within two or three (2-3) business days of ordering. Please note that Lawman’s Oil only makes heating oil deliveries Mondays through Fridays (excluding holidays) between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. We have a 150 gallon minimum delivery requirement. Lawman’s Oil uses a tired pricing model, so in the event you order less or we deliver than 150 gallons, you will be charged a higher price per gallon than the 150 gallon price. The final delivery amount will determine which pricing tier you will billed from. Lawman’s Oil also provides discounts for orders over certain gallon amounts. Discounts will be determined by which tiered pricing level your final delivery amount falls in to.
This Site may also be used for emergency orders or a heating oil delivery request outside of Lawman’s Oil’s normal delivery days and times, but any such an order will be require payment of a surcharge of $150.00 and, although we will use reasonable efforts to deliver such an order within the same or next business day, Lawman’s Oil cannot guarantee any delivery day or time.
Lawman’s Oil reserves the right to cancel any delivery of heating oil if an event beyond its reasonable control (including, but not limited to, inclement weather, war, fire, flood, hurricane, explosion, riots, acts of enemies, terrorism, strikes, or acts of God) occurs between the time you have placed your order and the time we deliver your order and such event causes a material effect on the market price of heating oil. If Lawman’s Oil elects to cancel your delivery due to such an event, we will notify you of such cancellation and you are entitled to a full refund as further set forth in Section 3 below.
Lawman’s Oil also reserves the right to cancel any delivery if it arrives at the delivery location and determines, in its sole reasonable discretion, that the heating oil tank is unsafe or unstable or that the heating oil tank does not have an operating vent alarm. If Lawman’s Oil elects to cancel your delivery due to such an event, we will notify you of such cancellation and you are entitled to a refund, less a processing fee and a service charge, as further set forth in Section 3 below. - Payment and Refunds. If you use this Site to order a delivery of heating oil from Lawman’s Oil, you must pre-pay for such delivery in full by credit card at the time of ordering. Refunds will only be made to the original credit card used for online payment and will only be issued in the following circumstances:
- If you paid us for more gallons of heating oil than your tank can reasonably accommodate at the time of delivery. If this event occurs, the original customer who placed the order must submit a refund request in writing or via our website. There will be a 5% processing fee or a minimum charge of $10 for refunds of this type. If a refund request is not made, Lawman’s Oil will retain the excess pre-paid funds in your account with Lawman’s Oil and apply them toward your next heating oil purchase and delivery;
- If Lawman’s Oil does not attempt a delivery of your heating oil within one (1) week of your online delivery order and there is no other event preventing such delivery (as discussed below). If this event occurs, the original customer who placed the order must submit a refund request in writing or via our website. If a refund request is not made, Lawman’s Oil will retain the pre-paid funds in your account with Lawman’s Oil and apply them toward your next heating oil purchase and delivery; and
- If Lawman’s Oil is prevented from making a delivery within a reasonable period of time due to an event beyond its reasonable control (including, but not limited to, inclement weather, war, fire, flood, hurricane, explosion, riots, acts of enemies, terrorism, strikes, or acts of God). If such an event occurs, the original customer who placed the order must submit a refund request in writing or via our website. If a refund request is not made, Lawman’s Oil will retain the pre-paid funds in your account with Lawman’s Oil and apply them toward your next heating oil purchase and delivery.
- If Lawman’s Oil cancels your delivery of heating oil due to an event beyond its reasonable control (including, but not limited to, inclement weather, war, fire, flood, hurricane, explosion, riots, acts of enemies, terrorism, strikes, or acts of God) that has also caused a material effect on the market price of heating oil. In the event Lawman’s Oil cancels your delivery for such reason, we will notify you either via email or telephone. At such time, you may either request a refund or reschedule your delivery and pay Lawman’s Oil the price difference (if any).
- If Lawman’s Oil cancels your delivery due to an unsafe or unstable heating oil tank or the absence of an operating vent alarm on your tank. In the event Lawman’s Oil cancels your delivery for such reason, we will notify you either via email or telephone. At such time, we will arrange a refund to your credit card, less a 5% processing fee or a minimum charge of $10 and a service charge to cover our reasonable expenses incurred in connection with attempting your delivery.
A refund will not be issued if you have pre-paid for a priming service but our delivery driver is unable to start the oil burner after priming the heating system. Priming the heating system consists of the following: pressing the reset button on the burner; opening the bleeder valve on the burner; purging air from oil lines; and closing the bleeder valve. If no other problems exist, the burner should then ignite. If the burner does not ignite, Lawman’s Oil is unable to further assist you with your heating system and you will likely need to schedule a service appointment with a third party to resolve the issue.
A refund will not be issued if Lawman’s Oil attempted delivery of the heating oil but was denied or unable to gain access to your oil tank or applicable site or was otherwise “locked out” for reasons not within our control (including, but not limited to, access being significantly blocked by debris or incomplete or confusing tank location instructions received from you). In such event, Lawman’s Oil will retain the pre-paid funds in your account with Lawman’s Oil and apply them toward your next heating oil purchase and delivery. - Our Service, Pricing Changes and Web Site Content.
