Fuel Earn Offer (5 points per gallon): Enter your Loyalty ID at the pump, or in-store at the register, or initiate a fuel purchase using the App, when making a qualifying fuel purchase at a participating Chevron or Texaco station. You will earn 5 points per gallon of branded Chevron or Texaco fuel purchased.

Fuel Discounts are single use, non-transferrable, will apply to purchases with a minimum of 1 gallon and up to a maximum of 25 gallons and one vehicle per transaction[DM(1], and in no event will the final fuel price be less than $0.01 per gallon. Fuel Discount values are as follows: 50 points equals $0.05 cents off per gallon of Chevron or Texaco branded fuel; 100 points equals $0.10 cents off per gallon of Chevron or Texaco branded fuel; 250 points equals $0.25 cents off per gallon of Chevron or Texaco branded fuel; 500 points equals $0.50 cents off per gallon of Chevron or Texaco branded fuel. Points earned in one region cannot be redeemed for rewards in the other region.
Expiration of Points: Your points and any related rewards will expire six months after the date they were earned in the respective region. For example, points earned on January 1, 2024 in the West Region will expire in that region on July 1, 2024. Any points earned in either region prior to November 1, 2023 will not expire until May 1, 2024.

EXCEPT AS MAY BE EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN THIS SECTION OR FOR DISPUTES THAT QUALIFY FOR SMALL CLAIMS COURT, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ALL DISPUTES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT, INCLUDING THE SCOPE, ENFORCEABILITY, VALIDITY OR APPLICATION OF THIS ARBITRATION PROVISION, THE RELATIONSHIPS RESULTING FROM THIS AGREEMENT, THE BREACH OF THIS AGREEMENT, OR ANY ASPECT OF THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN YOU AND US, WHETHER BASED IN CONTRACT, TORT, STATUTE, FRAUD, MISREPRESENTATION OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY, WILL BE RESOLVED THROUGH FINAL AND BINDING ARBITRATION BEFORE A NEUTRAL ARBITRATOR INSTEAD OF IN A COURT BY A JUDGE OR JURY, AND YOU AGREE THAT WE AND YOU ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY A JURY. YOU AGREE THAT ANY ARBITRATION UNDER THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS WILL TAKE PLACE ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS; CLASS ARBITRATIONS AND CLASS ACTIONS ARE NOT PERMITTED AND YOU ARE AGREEING TO GIVE UP THE ABILITY TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION.
The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules, as amended by this Agreement. The Consumer Arbitration Rules are available online. If the AAA is unable or declines to administer the arbitration, a court of competent jurisdiction may appoint the arbitrator. The arbitrator will conduct hearings, if any, by teleconference or videoconference, rather than by personal appearances, unless the arbitrator determines upon request by you or by us that an in-person hearing is appropriate. Any in-person appearances will be held at a location which is reasonably convenient to both parties with due consideration of their ability to travel and other pertinent circumstances, or as otherwise required by the AAA. If the parties are unable to agree on a location, such determination should be made by the arbitrator. The arbitrator's decision will follow this Agreement and will be final and binding. The arbitrator will have authority to award temporary, interim or permanent injunctive relief or relief providing for specific performance of this Agreement, but only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by the individual claim before the arbitrator. The award rendered by the arbitrator may be confirmed and enforced in any court having jurisdiction thereof. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement will preclude you from bringing issues to the attention of federal, state, provincial, territorial or local agencies and, if the law allows, they can seek relief against us for you.
A party who intends to seek arbitration must first send a written notice of the dispute to the other party by U.S. Mail or electronic mail. Our address for notice is: Chevron Products Company, a division of Chevron U.S.A. Inc. 6001 Bollinger Canyon Road, San Ramon, CA 94583. The notice must: (a) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and (b) set forth the specific relief sought. The parties will make good faith efforts to resolve the claim directly, but if the parties do not reach an agreement to do so within 30 days after the notice is received, you or we may commence an arbitration proceeding. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by you or us must not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator makes a final decision and award, if any.
If you are required to pay a filing fee, after we receive notice that you have commenced arbitration, we will promptly reimburse you for your payment of the filing fee, unless your claim is for greater than $10,000, in which event you will be responsible for filing fees.
If your claim is for $10,000 or less, we agree that you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator, through a telephonic hearing, or by an in-person hearing as established by the arbitration rules. If your claim exceeds $10,000, the right to a hearing will be determined by the AAA rules. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator shall issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based. If the dispute is finally resolved through arbitration in your favor, we will pay you the highest of the following: (i) the amount awarded by the arbitrator, if any; (ii) the last written settlement amount offered by us in settlement of the dispute prior to the arbitrator's award; or (iii) $1,000. Except as expressly set forth herein, the payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA rules.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section, to the extent the claim arises from: (a) a violation of either party's intellectual property rights in any manner; (b) any claim related to, or arising from, allegations of theft, piracy, unauthorized use or a violation of applicable computer fraud law; and/or (c) any claim for equitable relief; then you and we agree that a party may seek injunctive remedies (or an equivalent type of urgent legal relief) in a state or federal court in California, and both parties consent to exclusive jurisdiction and venue in such courts. In addition to the foregoing, either party may assert an individual action in small claims court for claims that are within the scope of such court's jurisdiction in lieu of arbitration.
