SECTION II: RATES, FEES AND PAYMENT INFORMATION 
CHEVRON AND/OR TEXACO VISA CARD ACCOUNT AGREEMENT

How Interest is Calculated

Your Interest Rate

We  use  a  daily  rate  to  calculate  the  interest  on  the  balance  on  your  account  each  day.  The  daily  rate  is  the 
applicable APR times 1/365. Interest will be imposed in amounts or at rates not in excess of those permitted by 
applicable law.

The daily rate for purchases is .07395% (APR 26.99%).   

The daily rate for cash advances is .08217% (APR 29.99%).

When We Charge Interest 

Purchases.  We  charge  interest  on  your  purchases  from  the  date  you  make  the  purchase  until  you  pay  the 
purchase in full. See exceptions below.

• We will not charge you interest during a billing cycle on any purchases if:

1. You had no balance at the start of the billing cycle; OR

2. You had a balance at the start of the billing cycle and you paid that balance in full by the due date in that  
    billing cycle.

•  We will credit, as of the start of the billing cycle, any payment you make by the due date that we allocate to 

purchases if:

1. You had no balance at the start of the previous billing cycle; OR

2.  You had a balance at the start of the previous billing cycle and you paid that balance in full by the due 

date in the previous billing cycle.

Cash Advances. We charge interest on your cash advances, and their related fees, from the date you make the 
transaction until you pay them in full. You cannot avoid paying interest on cash advances or their related fees.

How We Calculate 
Interest

We figure the interest charge on your account separately for each balance type. We do this by applying the daily 
rate to the daily balance for each day in the billing cycle. A separate daily balance is calculated for the following 
balance types, as applicable: purchases, cash advances and balances subject to different interest rates, plans or 
special promotions. See below for how this works.

1.  How to get the daily balance. We take the starting balance each day, add any new charges and fees, and 

subtract any payments or credits. This gives us the daily balance.

We apply fees to balance types as follows:

(a) late payment fees are treated as new purchases; 

(b) debt cancellation fees are added proportionately to each balance;

(c) cash advance fees are added to the cash advance balance; and

(d) foreign transaction fees are added to the purchase balance.

2. How to get the daily interest amount. We multiply each daily balance by the daily rate that applies.

3.  How to get the starting balance for the next day. We add the daily interest amount in step 2 to the daily 

balance from step 1.

4.  How to get the interest charge for the billing cycle. We add all the daily interest amounts that were charged 

during the billing cycle.

We charge a minimum of $1.00 of interest in any billing cycle in which you owe interest. This charge is added 
proportionately to each balance type. 

How Fees Work

Cash Advance Fee

We will charge this fee for each cash advance you make. For ATM cash advances this fee is in addition to any fee 
the ATM owner may charge you for use of the ATM.

Foreign Transaction Fee

We will charge this fee for purchases or cash advances you make in currencies other than U.S. dollars and/or in a 
country other than the U.S., whether or not the transaction was in a foreign currency. 

If you make a transaction with your account in a currency other than U.S. dollars, Visa U.S.A. Inc. (“Visa”) will 
convert  the  transaction  amount  into  U.S.  dollars  using  its  currency  conversion  procedure.  Under  the  currency 
conversion procedure that Visa currently uses, the non-U.S. dollar transaction amount is converted into a U.S. 
dollar amount by multiplying the transaction amount in the non-U.S. dollar currency by a currency conversion rate. 
Currently, Visa operating regulations provide that the currency conversion rate is either (1) a rate selected by Visa 
from the range of rates available in wholesale currency markets for the applicable central processing date, which 
rate may vary from the rate Visa itself receives, or (2) the government-mandated rate in effect for the applicable 
central processing date. The currency conversion rate that is in effect on the central processing date may differ 
from the rate in effect on the transaction date or the posting date, and may be higher than the rate you could have 
gotten if you had converted U.S. dollars into the foreign currency. 

Late Payment Fee

We will charge this fee if we do not receive the total minimum payment due on your account by 5 p.m. (ET) on the 
due date. This fee is equal to:

1. $25, if you have paid your total minimum payment due by the due date in each of the prior six billing cycles.

OR

2. $35, if you have failed to pay your total minimum payment due by the due date in any one or more of the prior 

six billing cycles.

The late payment fee will not be more than the total minimum payment that was due.

Minimum Payment Calculation

Your total minimum payment is calculated as follows.

The greater of:

1.  $25, or $35 (which includes any past due amounts) if you have failed to pay the total minimum payment due by the due date in any one or more of 

the prior six billing cycles.

OR

2. The sum of:

a. Any past due amounts; PLUS

b.  1% of your new balance shown on your billing statement (excluding any balance in connection with a special promotional purchase with a 

unique payment calculation); PLUS

c. Any late payment fees charged in the current billing cycle; PLUS

d. All interest charged in the current billing cycle; PLUS

e. Any payment due in connection with a special promotional purchase with a unique payment calculation.

We round up to the next highest whole dollar in figuring your total minimum payment. Your total minimum payment will never be more than your new balance. 
Payments required in connection with a special promotional purchase with a unique payment calculation will not be increased, but may be included in the 
$25 or $35 minimum amount otherwise due on your account.

 SECTION III: STANDARD PROVISIONS  
CHEVRON AND/OR TEXACO VISA CARD ACCOUNT AGREEMENT

that you or we made earlier or at the same time.

Parties To This Agreement. This Agreement applies to each accountholder approved on the account and each of you is responsible for paying the full

 HOW TO USE YOUR ACCOUNT/CARD
Use Of Your Account. You may use your account only for lawful personal, family or household purposes. You may use your account for purchases from  
Chevron or Texaco locations, and from any merchant that accepts Visa credit cards. You may get cash advances as further explained below. 

Cash Advances. We may offer you the opportunity to get a cash advance with convenience checks that we send you. We may not honor a convenience 
check for any reason stated on the check. You can also get cash or make a withdrawal from any institution or ATM that accepts the card or the account. 
In addition, we will treat any purchase of certain cash like items as cash advances. Cash like items include for example, money orders, cashier’s checks, 
traveler’s  checks,  electronic  or  wire  transfers,  foreign  currency  or  other  in  bank  transactions,  tax  payments,  lottery  tickets  or  other  legalized  gambling 
transactions, court costs, bail bonds and fines.

Your Promise To Pay. You promise to pay us for all amounts owed to us under this Agreement. 

Your Responsibility. Each accountholder will receive a card. You may not allow anyone else to use your account. If you do, or if you ask us to send a 
card to someone else, you will be responsible for paying for all charges resulting from their transactions. 

Transaction Limits. To prevent fraud, we may limit the number or dollar amount of any type of transactions you can make in any particular amount of 
time. We also may decline any particular charge on your account for any reason.

Credit Limit. You will be assigned a credit limit and cash advance limit on your account that we may increase or decrease from time to time. If we approve 
a transaction that makes you go over your credit limit or your cash advance limit, we do not give up any rights under this Agreement and we do not treat 
it as an increase in either limit. 

 HOW AND WHEN TO MAKE PAYMENTS 
When Payments Are Due. You must pay at least the total minimum payment due on your account by 5 p.m. (ET) on the due date of each billing cycle. 
Payments received after 5 p.m. (ET) will be credited as of the next day. You may at any time pay, in whole or in part, the total unpaid balance without any 
additional charge for prepayment. If you have a balance subject to interest, earlier payment may reduce the amount of interest you will pay. We may delay 
making credit available on your account in the amount of your payment even though we will credit your payment when we receive it.

Payment Options. You can pay by mail or online. We may allow you to make payments over the phone but we will charge you a fee to make expedited 
phone payments. Your payment must be made in U.S. dollars by physical or electronic check, money order or a similar instrument from a bank located in 
the United States.

How To Make A Payment. You must follow the instructions for making payments provided on your billing statement. If you do not, credit of your payment 
may be delayed up to five days. Your billing statement also explains how information on your check is used.

Payment Allocation. We will apply the required total minimum payment to balances on your account using any method we choose. Any payment you 
make in excess of the required total minimum payment will be applied to higher APR balances before lower APR balances. Applicable law may require or 
permit us to apply excess payments in a different manner in certain situations, such as when your account has a certain type of special promotion.

RESOLVING A DISPUTE WITH ARBITRATION 
PLEASE  READ  THIS  SECTION  CAREFULLY.  IF  YOU  DO  NOT  REJECT  IT,  THIS  SECTION  WILL  APPLY  TO  YOUR  ACCOUNT,  AND  MOST 
DISPUTES BETWEEN YOU AND US WILL BE SUBJECT TO INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION. THIS MEANS THAT: (1) NEITHER A COURT NOR A 
JURY WILL RESOLVE ANY SUCH DISPUTE; (2) YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION OR SIMILAR PROCEEDING; 
(3) LESS INFORMATION WILL BE AVAILABLE; AND (4) APPEAL RIGHTS WILL BE LIMITED.

• What claims are subject to arbitration

1.  If either you or we make a demand for arbitration, you and we must arbitrate any dispute or claim between you or any other user of your account, 
and if either you or we make a demand for arbitration, you and we must arbitrate any dispute or claim between you or any other user of your 
account, and us, our affiliates, agents and/or Chevron U.S.A. Inc., if it relates to your account, except as noted below. 

2.  We will not require you to arbitrate: (1) any individual case in small claims court or your state’s equivalent court, so long as it remains an individual 
case in that court; or (2) a case we file to collect money you owe us. However, if you respond to the collection lawsuit by claiming any wrongdoing, 
we may require you to arbitrate.

3.  Notwithstanding any other language in this section, only a court, not an arbitrator, will decide disputes about the validity, enforceability, coverage or 
scope of this section or any part thereof (including, without limitation, the next paragraph of this section and/or this sentence). However, any dispute 
or argument that concerns the validity or enforceability of the Agreement as a whole is for the arbitrator, not a court, to decide.

• No Class Actions

YOU  AGREE  NOT  TO  PARTICIPATE  IN  A  CLASS,  REPRESENTATIVE  OR  PRIVATE  ATTORNEY  GENERAL  ACTION  AGAINST  US  IN 
COURT  OR  ARBITRATION.  ALSO,  YOU  MAY  NOT  BRING  CLAIMS  AGAINST  US  ON  BEHALF  OF  ANY  ACCOUNTHOLDER  WHO  IS 
NOT AN ACCOUNTHOLDER ON YOUR ACCOUNT, AND YOU AGREE THAT ONLY ACCOUNTHOLDERS ON YOUR ACCOUNT MAY BE 
JOINED IN A SINGLE ARBITRATION WITH ANY CLAIM YOU HAVE. 

If a court determines that this paragraph is not fully enforceable, only this sentence will remain in force and the remainder will be null and void, and the 
court’s determination shall be subject to appeal. This paragraph does not apply to any lawsuit or administrative proceeding filed against us by a state 
or federal government agency even when such agency is seeking relief on behalf of a class of borrowers, including you. This means that we will not 
have the right to compel arbitration of any claim brought by such an agency.

• How to start an arbitration, and the arbitration process

1.  The party who wants to arbitrate must notify the other party in writing. This notice can be given after the beginning of a lawsuit or in papers filed 
in the lawsuit. Otherwise, your notice must be sent to Synchrony Bank, Legal Operation, P.O. Box 29110, Shawnee Mission, KS 66201-5320,  
ATTN: ARBITRATION DEMAND. The party seeking arbitration must select an arbitration administrator, which can be either the American Arbitration 
Association (AAA), 1633 Broadway, 10th Floor, New York, NY 10019, www.adr.org, 1-800-778-7879, or JAMS, 620 Eighth Avenue, 34th Floor, 
New  York,  NY  10018,  www.jamsadr.com,  1-800-352-5267.  If  neither  administrator  is  able  or  willing  to  handle  the  dispute,  then  the  court  will 
appoint an arbitrator. 

2.  If a party files a lawsuit in court asserting claim(s) that are subject to arbitration and the other party files a motion with the court to compel arbitration, 

which is granted, it will be the responsibility of the party asserting the claim(s) to commence the arbitration proceeding.

3.  The arbitration administrator will appoint the arbitrator and will tell the parties what to do next. The arbitrator must be a lawyer with at least ten 
years of legal experience. Once appointed, the arbitrator must apply the same law and legal principles, consistent with the FAA, that would apply 
in court, but may use different procedural rules. If the administrator’s rules conflict with this Agreement, this Agreement will control.

4.  The arbitration will take place by phone or at a reasonably convenient location. If you ask us to, we will pay all the fees the administrator or 
arbitrator charges, as long as we believe you are acting in good faith. We will always pay arbitration costs, as well as your legal fees and costs, 
to the extent you prevail on claims you assert against us in an arbitration proceeding which you have commenced.

• Governing Law for Arbitration

 This Arbitration section of your Agreement is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (FAA). Utah law shall apply to the extent state law is relevant 
under the FAA. The arbitrator’s decision will be final and binding, except for any appeal right under the FAA. Any court with jurisdiction may enter 
judgment upon the arbitrator’s award.

• How to reject this section

You may reject this Arbitration section of your Agreement. If you do that, only a court may be used to resolve any dispute or claim. 
To reject this section, you must send us a notice within 60 days after you open your account or we first provided you with your right 
to reject this section. The notice must include your name, address and account number, and must be mailed to Synchrony Bank, 
P.O. Box 965012, Orlando, FL 32896-5012. This is the only way you can reject this section.
