1. A counter-mount fluid dispenser comprising:

a housing configured to be mounted above a countertop;

an outlet nozzle located near a first end of the housing;

a dispensation conduit routed through at least a portion of the housing to the outlet nozzle

wherein a first end of the dispensation conduit is located proximate the outlet nozzle and a second end of the dispensation conduit is in fluid communication with a pump;

a reservoir;

a movable access member;

wherein the movable access member forms a part of the housing, the movable access member is movable between a non-accessing position and an accessing position;

wherein the dispensation conduit remains in place when the movable access member is moved between the non-accessing position and the accessing position and when the reservoir is refilled;

wherein the dispensation conduit is supplied fluid from the reservoir;

wherein the pump is in fluid communication with the reservoir;

a refill port;

wherein the refill port is at least partially concealed when the movable access member is in the non-accessing position and the refill port is accessible when the moveable access member is in the accessing position;

the refill port is configured to mate with a refill connector of a refill container;

wherein when the refill connector is inserted into the refill port, a sealing member forms a seal that prevents fluid from leaking out of the refill port.

2. The counter-mount fluid dispenser of claim 1 further comprising a valve that is biased closed by and opens when the refill connector is inserted into the refill port to allow fluid to flow into the reservoir.

wherein the housing has an unseated position and a seated position;

wherein the housing is in the seated position during use;

wherein the dispensation conduit remains in place when the housing is moved from the seated position to the unseated position and remains in place when the reservoir is refilled;

a refill port;

wherein the refill port is located inside of the housing;

wherein when the housing is in the unseated position, the refill port is accessible; and

wherein when the housing is in the seated position the refill port is non-accessible;

the refill port is configured to mate with a refill connector of a refill container;

wherein when the refill connector is inserted into the refill port, a sealing member forms a seal that prevents fluid from leaking out of the refill port; and

wherein the refill port is in fluid communication with the reservoir; and

wherein the dispensation conduit is in fluid communications with the reservoir.
