Portal terms: non-circumvention, non-disclosure and fee protection

Version 2026-10-03.1 · fingerprint 53775e3f393d6723

Draft: not yet reviewed by a lawyer. These plain-English terms (including the protection periods and the perpetual fee clause) must be reviewed by qualified counsel before they are relied on. For each transaction, the signed NCNDA/IMFPA governs.

1. What info2fuel does

info2fuel (Cristopher Stanford d/b/a info2fuel, Austin, Texas) is an independent broker that sits between buyers and sellers of petroleum products. The portal lets verified buyers post Requests and verified sellers post Offers. The other side sees only an anonymized summary (for example “Offer O-1234 by S-2017”). Identities, contact details, websites and documents are never shown to the other side; info2fuel makes every introduction itself, after the agreements below are in place. info2fuel does not take title to product, hold client funds, or charge upfront fees.

2. Non-circumvention

You agree not to contact, solicit, negotiate or transact, directly or indirectly (including through affiliates, employees, agents, successors or nominees), with any buyer, seller, intermediary, bank or other party that info2fuel introduces to you or that you learn of through the portal, except through info2fuel, for the protection period stated in the signed NCNDA/IMFPA for the transaction, or if none is signed, for five (5) years from the introduction. If you circumvent info2fuel, the fee that info2fuel would have earned on the circumventing transaction, and on later transactions between the same parties, is due as if the transaction had been made through info2fuel.

3. Non-disclosure

Information shared through the portal or by info2fuel (including identities, contact details, prices, procedures, documents such as ICPO, SCO, LOI, POP or POF, and the existence of a deal) is confidential. You will use it only to evaluate and complete the transaction it relates to, share it only with your own advisers and financiers who are bound by confidentiality, and return or delete it on request. This duty continues for five (5) years after your last use of the portal. You must not post anyone's contact details on the portal; info2fuel removes them and may suspend accounts that do so.

4. Fee protection

info2fuel is paid a fee only on completed transactions between parties it introduced. The fee follows info2fuel's published sliding schedule: your fee decreases with every completed transaction, per the published schedule, down to a permanent 0.025% from your 21st transaction. Transactions are counted per client relationship and product family; for U.S. domestic referrals one calendar month of volume counts as one transaction. For transactions 1 to 20 the fee is the per-unit amount for that transaction number (multiplied by the quantity delivered), and is never less than 0.025% of the transaction's FOB value. Larger volumes receive lower rates per the published volume schedule. From the 21st transaction in a product family the fee is 0.025% of FOB value (excluding freight, insurance and taxes) and applies to all later transactions in that product family between the introduced parties, with no expiry. The schedule in force when you accept these terms is stored with your acceptance; for each transaction the signed IMFPA confirms who pays, the amount and the payment timing. The live schedule is shown below and published at https://info2fuel.realengage.app/how-we-work#fees.

Current published schedule (fee per unit by completed transaction number; live from info2fuel's fee system):

Volume discounts multiply the per-unit fee for the whole transaction quantity. No fee falls below 0.025 % of FOB value.

5. Portal rules and compliance

Post only genuine requirements and offers you are authorized to make. info2fuel may review, edit (for example to remove contact details), hide or remove any post and approve, reject or suspend any account. All parties, products, vessels and origins are subject to sanctions screening (U.S. OFAC, UN, EU, UK). Fuel oil is accepted only with verified non-Russian origin. Offers for “JP54” or similar non-existent specifications are not accepted. info2fuel never asks for upfront fees; report any such request to info2fuel@gmail.com.

6. Your data

info2fuel stores your registration details, posts, documents, messages, and a record of your acceptance of these terms (date and time, IP address, browser and terms version) to run the portal, vet counterparties and keep business records, as described in the Privacy Policy at https://info2fuel.realengage.app/privacy.

Scam Check success fee

DRAFT, pending lawyer review (version SCF-2026-10-03.1). This section has not yet been reviewed by qualified counsel; the window, reporting and payment terms below may change after review. It applies only to the free Scam Check at trade.realengage.app/tools/scam-check and is separate from the portal registration terms above.

1. Free to use. Running a Scam Check costs nothing. No payment is ever requested before, during or after a check, and info2fuel never asks for upfront fees.
2. The success fee. If you, or a company you act for, close a deal on an offer you submitted to the Scam Check within [12] months of the check (the "window"), you agree to pay info2fuel 2% of the commission or fee you earn on that deal. "Close a deal" means a binding sale and purchase contract is signed and at least one delivery under it is completed and paid. "On an offer" means the same product from the same seller or counterparty identified in the checked offer, including extensions and renewals of that contract signed within the window.
3. When nothing is owed. No fee is owed if no deal closes, if the check helped you walk away, if the deal closes after the window, or if you earn no commission or fee on the deal (for example, you are the end buyer or the seller yourself).
4. Reporting. Within [30] days of receiving each commission payment on a qualifying deal, tell info2fuel by email (info2fuel@gmail.com), quoting the check reference ID shown on your results (format SC-XXXXXX), the date the deal closed and the commission you received. info2fuel may ask for reasonable evidence (for example, the commission statement), redacted to protect your counterparties.
5. Payment. info2fuel will send an invoice for 2% of the reported commission. Payment is due within [30] days of the invoice, by bank transfer to the account on the invoice, in the currency of your commission. Confirm bank details by phone with info2fuel before paying any invoice.
6. Records. Each check is stored with its reference ID, date and time, your name and email, the offer text and the result, so that both sides have a record. You can ask for a copy, or for deletion of checks that are older than the window and not linked to a reported deal, at info2fuel@gmail.com.
7. No endorsement, no advice. A Scam Check result is an automated, informational screen. It is not legal, compliance or investment advice, it does not verify or endorse any offer or counterparty, and paying the success fee does not make info2fuel a party to, or responsible for, your deal.
8. Governing law. [The laws of the State of Texas; courts of Travis County, Texas], subject to lawyer review.
