which you are bound. Certain
provisions of the Terms of Use
may be superseded by expressly
designated legal notices or
terms located on particular
pages at this Site.
Chevron reserves the right to
restrict access to this Site to
any person, and may at any time
in its sole discretion without
notice and without cause bar

Except as may be otherwise

In the event any provision of
these Terms of Use is determined
by a court of competent
jurisdiction to be invalid,
illegal or otherwise
unenforceable such provision
shall be deemed to have been
deleted from these Terms and
Use, while the remaining
provisions shall remain in full
force and effect. Chevron’s
failure to insist upon or
enforce strict performance of
any provision of these Terms of
Use shall not be construed as a
waiver of any provision or
right. Neither shall the course
of conduct between the parties
nor trade practice shall act to
modify any provision of these
Terms of Use.
These Terms of Use may be
translated into local languages
for convenience purposes. In the
event of inconsistency between
this English version and the
local language, the English
version shall prevail.
