We cannot accept any responsibility for discrepancies between our measuring device and any other measuring device used by you. Where we are delivering fuel oil we will attempt to deliver the quantity ordered and you are responsible for ensuring that there is room in your tank for that quantity.

All payments due to us shall become due immediately upon the termination of any agreement between us and you despite any other provision. You shall make all payments to us without any deduction whether by way of set-off, counterclaim, discount, abatement or otherwise unless you have a valid court order requiring an amount equal to such deduction to be paid by us to you.
