 (a) in bold upper case:
  DISCLOSURE DOCUMENT FOR RETAILER OR PROSPECTIVE RETAILER; and
 (b) the supplier's name, ABN, ACN or ARBN, business address and phone number; and
 (c) the date of the disclosure document; and
 (d) the following statement:
  This disclosure document contains some of the information you need in order to make an informed decision about whether to enter into a fuel re‑selling agreement.
  Entering into a fuel re‑selling agreement is a serious undertaking.
  If you sign a fuel re‑selling agreement, it is legally binding on you.
  You are entitled to a waiting period of 14 days before you enter into the agreement.
  If the agreement is a new fuel re‑selling agreement (not a renewal, extension or transfer), you will be entitled to a 7 day 'cooling off' period after signing the agreement, during which you may terminate the agreement without cost.
  Take your time, read all the documents carefully, talk to other fuel re‑selling businesses and assess your own financial resources and capabilities to deal with the requirements of the fuel re‑selling business.
  You should make your own enquiries about the agreement and the business of the agreement.
  You should get independent legal, accounting and business advice before signing the fuel re‑selling agreement. You should also seek advice on the Federal, State or Territory and local laws that apply to it.
  It is often prudent to prepare a business plan and projections for profit and cash flow.
  You should also consider educational courses, particularly if you have not operated a business before.
  You should contact the appropriate industry association.
