*An application is “Qualified” where all

online application; (b) the Qualified Application has a Facility Number/Station

Application;
(2) Ensure the Facility Number/Station Code
is present on the Application;
(3)
Follow
all previous sales and service training received from their employer.

Overly
pressuring or forcing a customer into completing an Application;
(2)
Conditioning
regular or satisfactory service to a customer upon completing an Application;
and

Inducing
a customer to complete an Application by providing unauthorized discounts or
complimentary items.
Sponsor may
disqualify any Eligible Owner whose Station has encouraged or obtained Qualified
Applications in violation of these rules.

Applications, an Eligible Owner must print their name, physical address (P.O.
Boxes not permitted), email address, and the Facility Number and address of the
applicable Station on a piece of paper and mail it in an envelope with proper
postage to “Chevron
or Texaco Consumer Card Sweepstakes,” c/o Merkle Inc., P.O. Box 5025, Department 864058,
Kalamazoo, MI 49003-5025. To enter the Quarter 3 and/or Quarter 4 Entry Period

the front of the envelope. You

One (1) entry into one (1) drawing per envelope. All mail-in entries must be
postmarked and received by the dates indicated in the table in Section 3 above.
All entries become the exclusive property of Sponsor and none will be acknowledged
or returned. Mail-in entries that are photocopied, computer-generated or
otherwise mechanically or digitally reproduced, or that otherwise fail to
comply with these Official Rules, will not be honored and the persons
submitting such requests will not receive an entry. Proof of sending or submission will not
be deemed to be proof of receipt by Sponsor. Sponsor is not responsible for
lost, late, incomplete, invalid, unintelligible, illegible, misdirected or
postage-due entries, which will be disqualified.
5. Prize Drawings: Administrator is an independent organization whose decisions as to the
administration and operation of the Sweepstakes and the selection of the
potential winners are final and binding in all matters related to the
Sweepstakes. Administrator will randomly select the potential Sweepstakes
winners from all eligible entries received during the applicable Entry Period and,
where applicable, the District or Region, on or around the dates set forth in
the table in Section 3. The potential winners will be notified by email. Each potential
winner of a prize (or an authorized representative of a potential winner) will
be required to sign and return a Declaration of Compliance, Liability Waiver
and where not prohibited a Publicity Release ("Declaration") which
must be received by Administrator within seven (7) calendar days of the date
notice or attempted notice is sent, in order to claim the prize. If the
Eligible Owner of a Station is a corporation, an authorized representative of the
potential winning corporation must complete the Declaration. If a Station is
owned jointly by two (2) or more individuals and/or corporations, or a
combination of the two, the prize will be divided equally amongst all Eligible
Owners, each of whom must complete a Declaration. If a potential winner of any
prize cannot be contacted, fails to sign and return the Declaration or
provide any other requested information within the required time period (if
applicable), or the prize is returned as undeliverable, the potential winner
forfeits the prize. Receiving a prize is contingent upon compliance with these
Official Rules. In the event that a potential winner is disqualified for any
reason or forfeits the prize, Sponsor will award the applicable prize to an
alternate winner by random drawing from among all remaining eligible entries
until all prizes are awarded.
