GENERAL TERMS OF USE
IMPORTANT! READ THIS ENTIRE AGREEMENT CAREFULLY
Nothing in this material is intended to override the corporate separateness of local entities. Working relationships
discussed in this material do not necessarily represent a reporting connection, but may reflect a functional
guidance, stewardship, or service relationship. Where shareholder consideration of a local entity matter is
contemplated by this material, responsibility for action remains with the local entity.
Exxon Mobil Corporation has numerous affiliates, many with names that include ExxonMobil, Exxon, Esso and
Mobil. For convenience and simplicity in this website, those terms and terms like corporation, company, our, we and
its are sometimes used as abbreviated references to specific affiliates or affiliate groups. Abbreviated references
describing global or regional operational organizations and global or regional business lines are also sometimes
used for convenience and simplicity. Similarly, ExxonMobil has business relationships with thousands of customers,
suppliers, governments, and others. For convenience and simplicity, words like venture, joint venture, partnership,
co-venturer, and partner are used to indicate business relationships involving common activities and interests, and
those words may not indicate precise legal relationships.
