This privacy notice describes how Caterpillar collect(s), share(s), and process(es) the personal information through SIS2GO; this notice is consistent with Caterpillar’s Global Data Privacy Statement and provides additional details relevant to SIS2GO. Caterpillar’s Global Data Privacy Statement, which should be read with, and treated as part of this notice, is available at http://www.caterpillar.com/dataprivacy.
What personal information does SIS2GO collect and process, and why?
User-Provided & Collected Information
1. Informational & Authenticated Websites
SIS2GO is an interactive application that provides information and offers for Caterpillar products and services. We collect information about your device, your use of our SIS2GO, and may collect or receive user provided personal information as you interact with us in order to optimize your user experience or address your request. Examples of how your information may be used (but not limited to) include the delivery of marketing communications or promotional materials, improvements to the website, products, and services we provide, and detecting, preventing, and responding to misuse of the website (ie. fraud, violation of law, etc.).
Personal information is any information about a specific individual or that identifies or may identify a specific individual. Some additional information we may collect includes contact and relationship or role.
Contact information allows us to interact and communicate with you.
Relationship or Role Information helps us understand who you are and what you are seeking to properly fulfill your request.
We may share personal information with our affiliated companies, suppliers, dealers, and business partners which may use it for the purposes listed above.
Users are advised that information provided may be cross referenced with other information you have provided to us. For example, if you provide your contact information, we may be able to provide additional information on products you own and services you use.
SIS2GO may directly authenticate or connect a user to an authenticated (or logged in) experience based on the user’s digital activity or data inputted by the user. An authenticated experience occurs when a set of log-in credentials are obtained from the users and will allow for additional access and experiences not allotted to non-authenticated users. In these circumstances an anonymous user is not acceptable or allowed. Common authenticated users include Caterpillar and Dealer personnel, customers, & affiliates. In an authenticated experience we collect the information discussed in the section above which will now be tied to an authenticated account profile and additional information associated with the account profile. In the event the user provides personal information on behalf of another individual the user should ensure proper consent is obtained from the individual. Examples of how this information may be used (but not limited to) include requesting, accessing, and managing Caterpillar systems, services, or programs.
Some additional personal information we may collect includes personal preferences and authenticated account information.
Personal Preferences allows us to provide an experience adjusted to the way you prefer to ingest content.
Authenticated Account Information is an identity profile which is requested or created by the user and collected by Caterpillar to ensure you are an authorized user.
Website Linkages
As users explore SIS2GO they may encounter linkages to other Caterpillar and non-Caterpillar websites. Users are advised that as links are selected they may encounter different features and experiences that may have different privacy notices and processes not associated with SIS2GO.
Where can I obtain further information about this SIS2GO and its privacy practices?

SERVICE INFORMATION SYSTEM (SIS), PORTABLE ELECTRONIC TECHNICIAN, AND CAT® TECHNICIAN END USER AGREEMENT
PLEASE READ THIS SERVICE INFORMATION SYSTEM (SIS) CAT® ELECTRONIC TECHNICIAN (CAT® ET) END USER AGREEMENT (THIS "AGREEMENT") CAREFULLY.
BY CLICKING "I AGREE" TO THIS AGREEMENT, OR BY ACCESSING, OR DOWNLOADING, OR USING THE DIGITAL OFFERING (DEFINED BELOW), YOU AFFIRM THAT YOU ARE OF LEGAL AGE AND HAVE THE LEGAL CAPACITY TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT. IF YOU ARE ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT ON BEHALF OF AN ENTITY, SUCH AS THE COMPANY FOR WHICH YOU WORK, YOU REPRESENT TO CATERPILLAR INC., A DELAWARE CORPORATION ("CATERPILLAR"), THAT YOU HAVE THE LEGAL AUTHORITY TO BIND SUCH ENTITY.
This Agreement is between Caterpillar and (a) the entity designated in connection with the commencement or renewal of a term-based right to access and use the Digital Offering (a "Subscription") or, (b) if an entity is not designated, the entity that you represent. If such entity is an authorized Cat dealer, such entity is referred to herein as "Dealer", and if such entity is any entity other than a Dealer, such entity is referred to herein as "Customer." Customer or Dealer, as the case may be, may each be referred to herein as "you" (as applicable). This Agreement concerns your access to or use of Portable Electronic Technician (“Portable ET”), Service Information System ("SIS Legacy"), Service Information System 2.0 ("SIS 2.0") the mobile application SIS2GO APP (“SIS2GO APP”) (SIS Legacy, SIS 2.0, and SIS2GO APP collectively, “SIS”), and/or Cat® Technician ("Cat® Technician") as applicable, and all related software downloads, services and APIs, as made generally available by Caterpillar during the Term (defined below) as part of Portable ET, SIS, or Cat® Technician, together with all content, information, and data to the extent made available through any of the foregoing (collectively, "Digital Offering").
1. Digital Offering.
1.1. Right to Use. This Agreement sets forth the terms and conditions between you and Caterpillar with respect to your Subscription for the Digital Offering obtained either directly from Caterpillar or from a Dealer authorized to provide Subscriptions ("Your Dealer"). In the event of a conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and any separate agreement between you and Your Dealer pursuant to which Your Dealer established the terms and conditions for your Subscription (a "Subscription Agreement"), the provisions of this Agreement shall control. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including receipt of all data and information from you that are reasonably required for Caterpillar to provide the Digital Offering, Caterpillar grants you a limited, non-exclusive, nontransferable, non-sublicenseable, revocable right and license to have Authorized Users access and use the Digital Offering for the term of the Term set for in the Subscription and solely in connection with your maintenance, service, and operation of supported Caterpillar-manufactured Cat engines, Caterpillar-manufactured Cat machines, and Caterpillar-manufactured Cat parts ("Products"), but not otherwise for the benefit of third parties. The terms of this license will govern any upgrades provided by Caterpillar that replace or supplement future version(s) of the Digital Offering unless such upgrade is accompanied by a separate license. This right and license shall be pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and the following types of Subscriptions.
(a) if you are a Customer: (i) obtained by you directly from Caterpillar under this Agreement; or (ii) obtained by you under a Subscription Agreement with a Dealer; or
(b) if you are a Dealer: (i) obtained by you under this Agreement for your own use with respect to your Cat dealership business; or (ii) obtained by you under this Agreement for your use in connection with Subscriptions you provide to third-party end customers pursuant to a Subscription Agreement.
Other than as expressly provided in this Agreement, Caterpillar and its licensors reserve all rights in and to the Digital Offering.
1.2. Updates; Availability of Features and Functions. Caterpillar may, at any time, modify, upgrade, or release a new version of the Digital Offering, or any portion of its features and functions. Unless otherwise expressly and separately agreed by Caterpillar, any new version of the Digital Offering will be subject to the terms of this Agreement. If you do not wish to be subject to the terms of this Agreement with respect to such new version of the Digital Offering, you may terminate this Agreement in accordance with section 12.2. Certain features and functions of the Digital Offering may be made available only for certain Subscription levels and, therefore, may not be made available to you as part of your Subscription level. Caterpillar reserves the right to introduce new features or functionality to the Digital Offering for your Subscription level. You may be required to pay additional fees to access or use newly added features or functionality. Caterpillar reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to remove features or functionality from the Digital Offering for your Subscription level.
1.3. Evaluation Offerings. Caterpillar may provide the Digital Offering, and certain pre-release versions, features and functions of the Digital Offering, to you on a trial or evaluation basis (the "Evaluation Offerings"). With respect to any Evaluation Offerings, Caterpillar grants you (including Authorized Users, defined below) a limited, non-exclusive, nontransferable, non-sublicenseable, revocable right and license to access and use the Evaluation Offerings during the Term on a trial basis, solely in a non-production capacity for your own internal testing and evaluation of the Evaluation Offerings. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Evaluation Offerings will not be subject to support or other obligations of Caterpillar, and are provided on an "AS IS", "AS AVAILABLE" basis only. Caterpillar may terminate your right to access and use the Evaluation Offerings at any time, in its sole discretion, upon reasonable notice to you in accordance with Section 13.9. All restrictions, limitations, and obligations relating to your access to and use of the Digital Offering set forth in this Agreement shall apply to your access to and use of the Evaluation Offerings.
1.4. Authorized Users. You agree that you are solely responsible for all access to and use of the Digital Offering by Authorized Users. You will ensure that all Authorized Users access and use the Digital Offering only in accordance with this Agreement and the Subscription Purchase Agreement or Dealer Agreement, as applicable. Without limiting the foregoing, you will enter a written agreement with consultants and contractors that you (or your Affiliates) establish as Authorized Users under which such consultants and contractors will agree to abide by the obligations applicable to them under this Agreement. You agree to be jointly and severally liable for all actions of Authorized Users related to their access to or use of the Digital Offering. Authorized Users shall have no rights of recourse against Caterpillar and are not third-party beneficiaries hereunder. For purposes of this Agreement:
"Affiliate" means any legal entity that controls, is controlled by or is under common control with a party hereto (but only for so long as such control exists), where "control" means ownership of more than fifty percent (50%) of the equity or other interests entitled to vote in the election of directors or corresponding managing authority of the Affiliate; provided that if the percentage of control permitted under applicable Laws (defined below) is below the foregoing percentage, then such percentage shall apply. |
"Authorized Users" means your employees or the employees of your Affiliates, in each case who you authorize pursuant to a valid Subscription to access and use the Digital Offering, together with those of your and your Affiliates’ contractors and consultants performing services on your or your Affiliates’ behalf (respectively) that have entered into a written agreement with you whereby the consultant or contractor has agreed to abide by the restrictions, conditions, and obligations applicable to them under this Agreement. |
1.5. Acceptable Use. You will, and will cause all Authorized Users to: (a) adhere to all applicable Laws, and (b) use the Digital Offering only in accordance with the "Acceptable Use Policy" located in the Digital Offering (or at such other location as designated by Caterpillar from time to time), the current version of which is available in Exhibit A.
1.6. Accounts. To access and use the Digital Offering, each Authorized User must follow Caterpillar’s log-in instructions (which may change from time to time). Caterpillar may provide each Authorized User with a username (for example, a Corporate Web Security ID) and require that each Authorized User create a password in order to access and use the Digital Offering. Authorized Users may also be required to provide Caterpillar with certain registration information as requested by Caterpillar and to keep such information up to date. If you are obtaining a Subscription from Your Dealer pursuant to a Subscription Agreement, it may be necessary to work with Your Dealer to establish accounts for your Authorized Users to access and use the Digital Offering. Should Caterpillar have reasonable grounds to suspect that any information provided by an Authorized User to Caterpillar is fraudulent, inaccurate, or incomplete (where such inaccuracy or incompleteness adversely impacts Caterpillar’s ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement or subjects Caterpillar, its Affiliates, or any of their respective licensors, service providers, suppliers, subcontractors, or distributors to additional obligations or liabilities), it shall have the right to suspend or terminate your (including all Authorized Users’) right to access and use the Digital Offering immediately without notice. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of all authentication credentials associated with your or Authorized Users’ access to and use of the Digital Offering. You must promptly notify Caterpillar if you discover any possible misuse, loss, or disclosure of your or Authorized Users’ accounts or authentication credentials or any security incident related to the Digital Offering.
1.7. Authorization to Service. Unless you are a Dealer or expressly authorized in writing by Caterpillar to do so, you may not use or access the Digital Offering to offer, provide, or conduct service for or on any Caterpillar product you do not own and use in your business.
2. Subscriptions.
2.1. Purchase; Ordering Process. Unless your Subscription is governed by a Subscription Agreement you entered with Your Dealer, Caterpillar may elect, in its sole discretion, to require you to purchase a valid Subscription to the Digital Offering from Caterpillar (or its Affiliates) as a prerequisite to your (including the Authorized Users’) access and use the Digital Offering. If Caterpillar requires you to purchase a Subscription, all Subscriptions will be subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Details regarding the Subscription, including additional terms and conditions such as duration, pricing, and the type and level of access to the Digital Offering, will be set forth in the ordering and subscription management process as designated by Caterpillar from time to time (the "Ordering Process"). Subscription terms and details may be changed by Caterpillar in accordance with Section 13.20. Upon renewal of your Subscription, you may be required to accept a new agreement, a supplemental agreement, or an amendment to this Agreement. If you do not wish to be subject to the terms of such new agreement, supplemental agreement, or amendment, then you may terminate this Agreement in accordance with Section 12.2. You acknowledge and agree that Your Dealer is independently owned and operated and is not an agent of Caterpillar.
2.2. Billing and Payment for Caterpillar Sold Subscriptions. This Section 2.2 is only applicable if you are purchasing a Subscription directly from Caterpillar (or an Affiliate of Caterpillar) pursuant to Section 2.1 (Purchase; Ordering Process).
(a)Billing. Caterpillar may invoice you on a monthly, quarterly, or annual basis in advance or in arrears, depending on the type of Subscription, as specified in the Ordering Process. All payments made hereunder to Caterpillar are non-refundable, unless otherwise provided by Caterpillar and except to the extent prohibited by applicable Laws. Under no circumstances will Caterpillar be obligated to issue a credit to you, including in the event of an expiration, termination, disablement or cancellation of a Subscription or expiration or termination of this Agreement (unless otherwise required by applicable Laws).
(b) Payment. You will pay all amounts payable under this Agreement when due, including all fees for Subscriptions that you purchase. Caterpillar will issue invoices to you. Each invoice will identify the fees payable by you in accordance with the pricing applicable to each Subscription. All amounts due under this Agreement will be due the day of the month specified in the invoice or otherwise designated by Caterpillar. Payments must be remitted to the account identified, and are due in the currency stated, in the invoice.
(c) Taxes. You will be responsible, as required under applicable Laws, for identifying and paying all taxes and other governmental fees and charges (and any penalties, interest, and other additions thereto) that are imposed on you upon or with respect to the transactions and payments under this Agreement. All fees payable by you are exclusive of applicable taxes and duties, including VAT, HST/GST, excise taxes, sales and transactions taxes, and gross tax receipts ("Indirect Taxes"). Caterpillar may charge, and you will pay all Indirect Taxes that Caterpillar is legally obligated or allowed to collect from you. You will provide all information to Caterpillar as reasonably required to determine whether Caterpillar is obligated to collect Indirect Taxes from you under any applicable Laws. Caterpillar will not collect, and you will not pay, any Indirect Tax for which you furnish Caterpillar a properly completed exemption certificate or a direct payment permit certificate for which you may claim an available exemption from such Indirect Tax. All payments made by you to Caterpillar under this Agreement will be made free and clear of any withholding or deduction for taxes. If any taxes (for example, international withholding taxes) are required to be withheld on any payment, you will pay additional amounts as necessary so that the net amount received by Caterpillar is equal to the amount then due and payable under this Agreement.
(d) Late Payment. Caterpillar may suspend your (including all Authorized Users’) access to the Digital Offering if you fail to make any payments by the applicable due date. Any payments not received by the due date will accrue late charges at the rate of 1.5% of the outstanding balance per month, or the maximum rate permitted by applicable Laws, whichever is lower. In addition, Caterpillar may, without waiving any other rights or remedies to which it may be entitled, take any one or more of the following actions: (a) not accept additional orders from you; (b) suspend or terminate its provision of the Digital Offering to you; and (c) seek collection of all amounts due, including reasonable attorney or legal fees, expenses, and costs of collection. Caterpillar will have no liability to you for any such suspension or termination or for any refusal of additional orders. Except to the extent prohibited by applicable Laws, you may not withhold payment or take deductions from any invoice amount, including for returns, rebates, price adjustments, billing errors, shipping claims, handling fees, allowances, remittance costs and other charges.
(e) Currency Control. You represent and warrant that no currency control Laws prevent the payment to Caterpillar of any sums due under this Agreement. In the event that any such Laws come into effect such that payment in United States Dollars is not permitted, you will notify Caterpillar immediately, and if so instructed by Caterpillar, deposit all monies due to Caterpillar to the account of Caterpillar or its Affiliate in a local bank of Caterpillar’s choice.

5.4 Communication Systems; Risk of Interception. Some features of the Digital Offering require use of various communications systems, such as telematics wireless communications carriers, satellite-based communication systems, internet service providers, and other similar systems. Caterpillar uses various technologies and processes designed to secure communications within Caterpillar-provided communications systems; however, you recognize that such communication methods have an inherent risk of interception and/or interference and, therefore, may not be secure.

(b) This Agreement will not be governed by the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods, nor any related regulations or implementation or successor legislation, each of which is expressly excluded.
13.8. Arbitration.
(a) All disputes, claims and controversies relating to or arising out of this Agreement (collectively, "Dispute") will be resolved by binding arbitration, rather than in court. If your principal place of business is in the United States, the Federal Arbitration Act applies to the arbitration of such Disputes.
(b) If your principal place of business is in the United States or Canada, the arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) in accordance with the AAA’s Commercial Arbitration Rules and Mediation Procedures. If your principal place of business is in any country in APAC, then the arbitration will be administered by the Singapore International Arbitration Centre (SIAC) in accordance with the Arbitration Rules of the Singapore International Arbitration Centre. If your principal place of business is outside of the United States, Canada, or any country in APAC, then the arbitration will be administered by the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) in accordance with ICC Rules of Arbitration. The arbitration rules specified in this subsection are referred to as the "Rules." For the purposes of this Agreement, "APAC" means the geographic region that includes the following countries: Australia, Bangladesh, Brunei, Burma, Cambodia, China (including Hong Kong Special Administrative Region and Macau Special Administrative Region), Christmas Islands, Fiji, India, Indonesia, Japan, Kiribati, Laos, Malaysia, Marshall Islands, Federated States of Micronesia, Mongolia, Nauru, New Zealand, Palau, Papua New Guinea, Philippines, Samoa, Singapore, Solomon Islands, South Korea, Sri Lanka, Taiwan, Thailand, Timor-Leste, Tonga, Tuvalu, Vanuatu, and Vietnam.

In no event shall demand for arbitration be made or permitted after the date when the institution of legal or equitable proceedings based on such Dispute would be barred by the applicable statute of limitations. If your principal place of business is in the United States or Canada, the place of arbitration will be Chicago, Illinois, United States.

If your principal place of business is outside of the United States, Canada, or any country in APAC, the place of arbitration will be Geneva, Switzerland. The arbitration shall be conducted in English. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if your principal place of business is in the Netherlands, you may opt to resolve any Dispute before Dutch courts, provided that you notify Caterpillar of this election within thirty (30) days of Caterpillar notifying you of Caterpillar’s intention to commence arbitration.
(d) You agree that any dispute resolution proceedings will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class, consolidated, or representative action, and that the parties are waiving the right to a trial by jury. If for any reason a claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration, each party waives any right to a jury trial.
(e) If the Dispute is for an amount less than US$100,000, the arbitration shall be heard in front of a single arbitrator, and if the Dispute is for an amount of US$100,000 or more, then the Dispute shall be heard by a panel of three (3) arbitrators.

If the Dispute is to be heard in front of a panel of three (3) arbitrators, each party shall nominate one arbitrator from a list of arbitrators provided by the applicable arbitration organization, and the two party-nominated arbitrators shall select the third arbitrator who will serve as chairman. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, either party may seek injunctive relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent irreparable harm from occurring at any time. Each party shall bear its own cost of prosecuting or defending the arbitration (excluding any attorneys’ or other professional fees) and the parties shall split the arbitrators’ fees and the applicable arbitration organization’s administrative costs, regardless of the outcome. The provisions of this Section 13.8 and judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrator may be enforced by any court of competent jurisdiction. The arbitrator(s) shall render its decision as soon as reasonably possible after its appointment and must follow the terms of this Agreement.
(f) This agreement to arbitrate shall be specifically enforceable in any court having jurisdiction thereof. Any award issued by the arbitrator pursuant to any arbitration shall be final and binding upon the parties, and judgment may be entered upon in accordance with applicable Laws in any court of competent jurisdiction.
(g) You agree that notwithstanding any statute or Laws to the contrary, any claim or cause of action arising out of or related to the use of the Digital Offering or this Agreement must be filed within two (2) years after the claim or cause of action arose or be forever barred.
