Gasoline Stations · NAICS 447 · Retail Sales Agreement

A Retail Sales Agreement for a gasoline station is a vital contract that governs the sale of motor fuels, convenience store products, or both between a supplier and a retailer. Unlike generic sales contracts, this agreement must address industry-specific issues such as fuel quality standards (ASTM), delivery logistics to underground storage tanks, environmental compliance (EPA regulations), and fluctuating fuel prices.
