Kingsport, TN asked in Contracts for Tennessee

Q: Under contract with a national propane company can you be denied without notice in Nov 2017-2019 fuel to heat my home.

I was given the option to pay addtl 175.00 to have delivery. Each time I had contact there was an excuse, lost order, driver sick, and also told I could have delivery for an addtl 125.00, and if I ran out an addtl 50.00. They forced me to run out. Gave me no notice they would not deliver for winter, and I had bought the heating unit from them and had service for 20 years, and always paid right away no other heat. I turn them into the better business bureau. They came back with a letter saying I had been told they were not going to delivery, which I never received. Ten years earlier after an episode where we discouraged delivery, their truck destroyed my drive way, and I had the access completely redone and rocked. A new foundation and delivery proceeded for ten or more years. In the spring of 2017 the the driver asked me to have the area for turn around dug out, which I did immediately, by my neighbor with his backhoe. In all the delivery area had been put in excellent order.

A: Not sure of your question. If you are concerned the Oil company can terminate a Contract, then it must be read verbatim. Even if the Seller cannot terminate delivery as they have, then you may not have any or a small amount of damages. The place of litigation is probably in the Contract, and it is not likely to be in Tennessee. Hire a competent attorney to review the Contract and advise you of options.
