SECTION II: RATES, FEES AND PAYMENT INFORMATION 
CHEVRON AND/OR TEXACO TECHRON ADVANTAGE™ CREDIT CARD ACCOUNT AGREEMENT

How Interest is Calculated
Your Interest Rate

The APR for purchases is the prime rate plus 23.74%. We use a daily rate to calculate the interest on the balance on your account each 
day. The daily rate for purchases is the APR times 1/365. As of January 1, 2016 the daily rate for purchases was .07464% (APR 27.24%). 
Interest will be imposed in amounts or at rates not in excess of those permitted by applicable law.

Daily Rates May Vary. The APR and the daily rate for purchases on your account vary with the market based on the prime rate. The 
prime rate for a billing cycle is the highest bank prime loan rate published in The Wall Street Journal in its Money Rates section on the last 
business day of the calendar month preceding the first day of the billing cycle.

If the prime rate increases, the daily rate and APR for purchases will increase. As a result, interest, your total minimum payment and the 
number of payments it would take you to pay off your account balance may increase. We apply any change in rates because of a prime 
rate change to your entire account balance. A change in the prime rate will take effect on the first day of the first billing cycle after the 
change. We may select a new interest rate index if the prime rate is not available.

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; and 

(b) debt cancellation fees are added proportionately to each balance; and

(c) cash advance fees are added to the cash advance 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 $2.00 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.

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.

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 amount

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. 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.

You 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 purchases 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 

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.
