SYSTEM, METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR CONSUMER PURCHASE AND FUTURE DISTRIBUTED DELIVERY OF COMMODITY AT PREDETERMINED PRICES

摘要

Embodiments disclosed herein provide a unique methodology as well as the overall architecture necessary to implement the methodology that can enable an entity to create and provide a consumer price protection product under the Forward Contract Exception of the Commodity Exchange Act. Even consumers who do not meet commodity-related regulation requirements such as the Eligible Contract Participant regulatory requirements may purchase such a consumer price protection product or a variation thereof to reduce or cancel out the risk or at least reduce the unpredictability in purchasing commodities such as motor fuels.
