Retailer desires to enter into this agreement in order to obtain the right to sell such Motor Fuels under the Mobil Trade and brand names (hereinafter referred to as the “Proprietary Marks”). Retailer has independently investigated the business risks involved herein and such other matters as Retailer deems important and has not relied on any representation not set forth herein.

 

2.     Sale . Supplier agrees to sell and deliver or cause to be delivered, and Retailer agrees to buy, receive and pay for Motor Fuels of the kind, grade, brand and quality generally sold by Supplier within 7 days of delivery, for resale at Retailer’s place of business located at: 16543 East Camino Adelante, Picacho, AZ 85241 (hereinafter referred to as the “Retail Location”). During the term hereof, Retailer shall not purchase or sell Motor Fuels at the Retail Location other than those purchased from Supplier pursuant hereto.

 

3.     Term . The term of the Agreement is ten years from commencement date and shall continue on a month to month basis unless terminated by the Retailer. Retailer may terminate this Agreement after the term has expired by giving thirty days advance written notice to the supplier. Commencement date is the day on which retailer receives his first delivery of Mobil Motor Fuel from Arizona Fuel Distributors, L.L.C.

 

4.     Prices . Prices for all Motor Fuels sold to Retailer hereunder shall be Supplier’s published applicable price in effect on the date of delivery. Such prices may be obtained by contacting Supplier. All prices are subject to change without notice. All deliveries shall be invoiced and paid on Net 10 days via EFT, subject to credit approval.

 

5.     Proprietary Marks . Retailer shall sell the Motor Fuels only under the Mobil Proprietary Marks and shall have the right to use such Proprietary Marks as are designated by Supplier, but only for the purpose of properly identifying and advertising Motor Fuels handled by Retailer, and in a manner and form satisfactory to Supplier in Supplier’s sole judgment.

 

Retailer will not allow or permit any of the Motor Fuels to be sold which are mislabeled, misbranded or contaminated by mixture or adulteration with each other or with any other material or motor fuel. Retailer will not commingle any substance with Motor Fuel and then sell it as a Motor Fuel. Retailer will not allow or permit the sale of any product or Motor Fuel under any Proprietary Mark which is not a Mobil brand product or Motor Fuel, or which is a grade of Mobil brand product or Motor Fuel other than described by the label or designation; nor will Retailer use the Proprietary Marks in a manner which deceives or causes a likelihood of confusion to the motoring public. Retailer will allow Supplier, its employees, agents or designees, to enter the Retail Location at any time during normal business hours of Retailer to obtain such samples, or conduct such tests or inspections as may, in Supplier’s judgment, be reasonably required to determine that Retailer is complying with the aforesaid obligations. Retailer shall cooperate with Supplier in any investigation or any alleged violations of such obligations.
