Except as expressly set forth above or below, any dispute arising out of or in any way related to this Subscription Agreement, the Standby Terms, the Standby Privacy Policy, or your use of the Service, the Content, the Documentation or the InfoHub Data shall be submitted to mandatory binding arbitration between Briggs & Stratton and you.  The arbitration will take place before a single arbitrator.

Arbitration is a dispute resolution process which is more informal than a court case.  ARBITRATION DIFFERS FROM A LAWSUIT IN COURT AS THERE IS NO JUDGE OR JURY AND THERE IS A LIMITED COURT REVIEW OF A FINAL ARBITRATION AWARD.  There may be more limits on discovery than in a court case.  The arbitrator is required to make a decision based upon this Subscription Agreement, the Standby Terms, the Standby Privacy Policy and applicable law.  The arbitrator may award damages and attorneys’ fees, but the arbitrator may not grant declaratory or injunctive relief except in very limited circumstances and only as it relates to your individual rights under this Agreement.

There are some exceptions to this mandatory arbitration provision.  Specifically, either Briggs & Stratton or you may at any time:  (a) bring a small claims court suit; (b) pursue claims with federal, state or local government agencies, if applicable; (c) pursue a claim for injunctive relief; or (d) bring an action to enforce intellectual property rights.

  • Applicable Process.  Either Briggs & Stratton or you may bring an arbitration proceeding under the Commercial Dispute Resolution Procedures and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”).  The Federal Arbitration Act governs the enforcement of this provision.

You may obtain instructions on how to file arbitration with AAA by calling AAA at 1‑800‑778‑7897 or online at www.adr.org, or we can assist you in contacting AAA.  The arbitration will take place at a location in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, unless the amount of the claim is for $10,000.00 or less, in which case either of us have the choice of: (a) submitting the dispute to the arbitrator based upon documents only; (b) using a telephone hearing; or (c) attending in person as established under the AAA rules in the place where your Equipment is located.

The fees you incur in arbitration and your share of the arbitrator’s fees are limited, as set forth in the AAA Consumer Rules.  Briggs & Stratton will pay the remaining fees.  If the arbitrator determines your claim was improper or frivolous, payment of all fees will be governed by the AAA Rules and you will be required to reimburse us.  The arbitrator is required to issue a written decision sufficient to explain the facts and legal conclusions on which the decision and award are based.  The arbitrator may resolve disputes as to the payment and reimbursement of fees or expenses during the arbitration proceeding, or if requested by a party, within fourteen (14) days of the arbitrator’s issuance of an award.

To bring an arbitration action, a party must file a demand for arbitration no later than one year after the facts giving rise to the cause of action have occurred or that claim will be time barred and you will have no right to seek any other remedy.  In instances where an one‑year time limit is prohibited, the claim must be brought within the shortest time period permitted by applicable law.

  • Arbitration Proceedings.  If a party wishes to bring an arbitration proceeding under this Agreement, that party must send written notice of the dispute by letter or email to the other party.  The notice must contain (a) an explanation of the dispute; and (b) describe the specific remedy or award you seek from the arbitrator.  The parties then must work together in good faith to attempt to resolve any such dispute through discussions or email communications.  If the parties cannot resolve the dispute within thirty (30) days after notice is first received of the dispute, either party may submit the dispute to arbitration.

The arbitration and all information disclosed during the arbitration may not be disclosed to any third party except as required by law.  The parties will not make any comments or announcements to the public about the subject matter or outcome of the arbitration.

If Briggs & Stratton changes this arbitration provision, you may reject that change by sending us a written notice within thirty (30) days of the change, in which case we will terminate your access to the Service.

If the waiver of a class action or the arbitration provision is held to be unenforceable, only the waiver of class action or arbitration provision is null and void and all remaining terms and conditions in this Subscription Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.

31.              Waiver of Class Action.

BY ACCEPTING THE TERMS OF THIS SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT, AND EXCEPT WHERE EXPRESSLY PROHIBITED BY APPLICABLE LAW, YOU AGREE THAT YOU WILL BRING ANY CLAIMS AGAINST BRIGGS & STRATTON BASED ON THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT, THE STANDBY TERMS OR THE STANDBY PRIVACY POLICY, OR WITH REGARD TO THE SERVICE, THE CONTENT, THE DOCUMENTATION OR THE INFOHUB DATA, ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT AS A CLASS ACTION PLAINTIFF OR CLASS ACTION MEMBER IN ANY CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT OR PURPORTED CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT.

32.              Assignment and Change of Control.  Neither party may assign this Subscription Agreement or any of its rights, benefits, warranties or obligations hereunder, in whole or in part, without the prior written consent of the other party, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld.  Any attempt to assign this Subscription Agreement, in whole or in part, without such prior written consent is void.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may assign the Subscription Agreement or any of its rights, benefits, warranties or obligations hereunder, in whole or in part, without the prior written consent of the other party to an Affiliate of the assigning party, or in the case of:  (a) a merger, (b) a transfer of more than fifty percent (50%) of the equity ownership of the assigning party, or (c) the sale of all or substantially all of the assigning party’s assets.

35.              Severability.  If any provision of this Subscription Agreement is declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, such provision shall be severed from the Subscription Agreement and the other provisions shall remain in full force and effect.

36.              Waiver.  No waiver will be deemed to have been made unless expressed in writing and signed by the authorized representative of the party against which such waiver is to be asserted.  No delay or omission on the part of any party in exercising any right or privilege under this Subscription Agreement will operate as a waiver thereof.  A waiver of any provision of this Subscription Agreement will not be deemed to waive the same provision thereafter, or any other provision of this Subscription Agreement.

37.              Survival.  In the event of the termination of this Subscription Agreement, the provisions which by their nature are intended to survive expiration or termination shall survive.

38.              Export Compliance.  The Service, Documentation, Content, and the InfoHub Data may be subject to export laws and regulations of the United States, Canada, and other jurisdictions.  Each party represents that it is not named on any U.S. government denied-party list.  You shall not permit Users to access or use any Service or Content in: (i) a U.S. embargoed country or in violation of any U.S. export law or regulation; or (ii) countries listed on Canada's Area Control List, countries with export prohibitions or limitations due to current economic sanctions, or entities or persons with export prohibitions or limitations due to terrorism designations.

CHANGES TO PRIVACY POLICY.

We may, from time to time, update this Privacy Policy in our sole discretion, including in response to legal, technical, or business developments.  We encourage you to review our Privacy Policy from time to time for updates.  All changes will be effective immediately upon posting to the Service. When we change this Privacy Policy, we will take appropriate measures to inform you of the change, consistent with the significance of the changes made.  We will notify you of material changes to this Privacy Policy by prominently posting a notice of such changes or otherwise communicating them to you before making them and by stating the effective date of the changes, in accordance with any applicable laws.

OVERVIEW OF WHAT INFORMATION WE COLLECT AND WHAT WE DO WITH THAT INFORMATION.

The information that we may collect from or about you broadly falls into the following categories: information that you voluntarily provide to us (for example, your contact information and your payment information) and information collected through your use of the Service (for example, Equipment usage data and data collected by cookies and other tracking technologies).

When you use the Service, we collect certain Personal Information, Connected Data and Location Data (all defined below and collectively the “InfoHub Data”) about the users of the Service and the Equipment.

We also analyze the InfoHub Data using analytics tools, with the aim of improving customer efficiency when using the Equipment, and for our own business purposes such as to improve the Service and the Equipment.

We collect, store and share the InfoHub Data as described below.

WHAT TYPES OF INFORMATION DO WE COLLECT?

We collect the following types of InfoHub Data when you use the Service:

·                     Personal Information or Personal Data.

We collect "Personal Information” or "Personal Data."  Personal Information and Personal Data are information that could reasonably be used to identify you individually.  Examples of Personal Information and Personal Data include name, email address, mailing address, phone number, other contact information, user ID, password, IP address, device identifiers or MAC identifiers. For convenience, Personal Information and Personal Data may hereafter be collectively referred to as “Personal Information.”

·                     Connected Data.

We may collect "Connected Data."  Connected Data is technical data from your Equipment, including, but not limited to, equipment and engine status, fuel consumption, battery voltage and oil levels.  We may change the parameters of the Connected Data which we collect from your Equipment from time to time as we make modifications to the Equipment and the Service.

·                     Location Data.

We collect “Location Data.”  Location Data is data about your Equipment that is automatically collected and which includes:

                                                                     i.      The physical location of Equipment;

                                                                   ii.      Data and information that can be used to identify the individuals using the Equipment, as well as the performance and efficiency of such individuals when they transport and use the Equipment;

                                                                 iii.      Geofence data which is data and information about a specific virtual geographic boundary; and

                                                                 iv.      Data or information which could be used to identify an individual’s activities or Equipment use at a specific location, such as a residence.  For instance, this information includes when an individual person is using Equipment at a specific location and at what time of day.

When we use your Personal Information in conjunction with the Location Data, we will treat that Location Data as Personal Information under this Privacy Policy.

Additionally, in some countries, including countries in the EEA, Location Data may be considered “Personal Data” under applicable data protection laws, in which case we will treat that Location Data as Personal Data under this Privacy Policy.

HOW DO WE COLLECT INFOHUB DATA?

We collect certain Personal Information from you when you subscribe to the Service, set up an account, use the Service, make a purchase, or contact us directly.

We collect Connected Data and Location Data through a two-way exchange of data between the equipment and the Service.  We automatically collect Connected Data and Location Data when you use the equipment in conjunction with the Service.

The equipment may also contain certain data storage capabilities.  These data storage capabilities allow the equipment to collect Connected Data and Location Data even in the absence of a subscription to use the Service.

·                     As requested by or consented to by you.

A.                  For Business Owners. If you are an employer or other account holder (e.g. equipment dealer) with a Primary Account (as defined in the Terms), you have the ability to combine Location Data with Personal Information in your possession to determine the location of those employees or other individuals using the Equipment.  You can also obtain certain efficiency data about those employees and other individuals.  It is a best practice to ensure your company policies address any types of employee monitoring or tracking and comply with applicable laws such as the National Labor Relations Act and other privacy laws.

IF YOU ARE AN EMPLOYER OR OTHER ACCOUNT HOLDER, YOU EXPRESSLY AGREE THAT YOU WILL SECURE PRIOR WRITTEN CONSENT FROM YOUR EMPLOYEES, AUTHORIZED USERS, AND CUSTOMERS PRIOR TO USING THE SERVICE, AND HAVE OBTAINED THEIR PRIOR WRITTEN CONSENT THAT THEIR LOCATION MAY BE TRACKED AND THAT THEY UNDERSTAND THAT THIS PRIVACY POLICY APPLIES TO YOUR (AND THEIR) USE OF THE SERVICES.

TRACKING AND COOKIES.

A.                  “DO NOT TRACK” BROWSER SETTINGS.  The Service does not support the Do Not Track (DNT) browser setting.  DNT is a preference you can set in your browser’s settings to let the websites you visit know that you do not want the sites collecting your personally identifiable information.  We will not collect personally identifiable information about your online activities over time and across third-party websites or online services regardless of whether you choose the DNT browser preference.

B.                  COOKIES.  We use cookies to help us understand and save your preferences for future visits to InfoHub and to compile aggregate data about your traffic and interactions so that we can offer better experiences and tools in the future.  Cookies are small pieces of information that are stored on your device’s hard drive by your web browser. We may contract with third-party service providers to assist us in better understanding our users.  These service providers are permitted to use the information collected on our behalf only to help us conduct and improve our business.

We use cookies to track how you access and use the Service, to learn when and how users visit the Service, to learn how popular Service pages are and aren’t, to learn which search terms are used to find the Service, to learn which websites direct you to the Service, and to recognize Service users. We also use cookies to help display certain information on the Service and to improve your enjoyment of the Service, for example, by remembering your contact and other information when you access or use the Service.

You can find more information on our cookie policies by visiting our cookie policy at https://www.briggsandstratton.com/eu/en_gb/cookie-policy.html, which is incorporated into this Privacy Policy.

Most browsers automatically accept cookies. You can disable cookies but disabling cookies may impact your use and enjoyment of the Service. Most browsers allow users to manage cookies in the browser’s settings. If you prefer, some browsers may allow you to choose to have your computer warn you each time a cookie is being sent, or you can choose to turn off all cookies by adjusting your browser settings.  If you turn your cookies off, the Service may not function properly.  However, if you experience an issue, you can contact customer service.

Changing your cookie preferences in one browser will not necessarily carry over to other browsers, so you may need to adjust your preferences each time you get a new computer, install a new browser, upgrade an existing browser, or alter or delete a browser’s cookie file. Our Service suppliers may use cookies and other tracking technologies, such as pixel tags, to track Service visitors across the Internet to understand how you get to the Service. We do not have access or control over these cookies and this Privacy Policy does not cover the use of third-party cookies.

LOG FILES.

The Site uses Internet Protocol (“IP”) addresses to analyze trends, administer the Site, track user movements, and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use.  We do not link IP addresses to personally identifiable information.  An Internet Service Provider (“ISP”) typically assigns a random dynamic IP address at the time of your dial-up.  For local area network (“LAN”), DSL, or cable modem users, a static IP address may be permanently assigned to a particular computer.  We may record the IP addresses of users of the Service.  While an IP address may reveal your ISP or geographic area, we do not intend to use that information to identify you solely based upon your IP address.  Other websites you visit have IP addresses, and we may collect the IP addresses of those websites and their pages, but we never associate these IP addresses with specific Internet users.

THIRD PARTY PAYMENT PROCESSOR.

When you purchase a subscription to use the Service and make recurring payments, you are directed to a third-party portal (“Payment Portal”) to make such payments that is controlled by Zuora, Inc., a third-party payment processor (“Payment Processor”).  When you make payments through the Payment Portal, you are subject to the Payment Processor’s terms, conditions and data collection practices (“Payment Processor Terms”), not these Terms. https://www.zuora.com.

Any financial information, such as your credit card number and other credit card information necessary to make a purchase, is collected directly by the Payment Processor.  Briggs & Stratton does not receive your credit card information or other financial information when you make a purchase through the Payment Portal.  Briggs & Stratton may receive certain Personal Information necessary to finalize orders such as your name, address, phone number and email address.  

CALIFORNIA ONLINE PRIVACY PROTECTION ACT COMPLIANCE/YOUR CALIFORNIA PRIVACY RIGHTS.

California residents who use this Service may request that we provide certain information regarding our disclosure of the user’s Personal Information to third parties for their direct marketing purposes.  You can make such a request by email or by mail to:

HOW WE PROTECT THE INFOHUB DATA.

We work to protect the security of the InfoHub Data. During transmission of Personal Information between you and our Site, we use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) software to encrypt information you input.

Please note that despite our reasonable efforts, no security measure is ever perfect or impenetrable, so we cannot guarantee the security of your Personal Information.  We make commercially reasonable efforts to protect the InfoHub Data and we have implemented reasonable physical, operational and technical safeguards in place for doing so.  Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure.  Therefore, you provide InfoHub Data, including Personal Information and use the Service at your own risk.  BRIGGS & STRATTON IS NOT LIABLE TO YOU FOR ANY LOSS OF INFOHUB DATA OR HARM RESULTING FROM DISCLOSURE OF YOUR INFOHUB DATA.

USE OF PERSONAL INFORMATION IN THE U.S. AND ABROAD.

You consent to the collection and processing of your Personal Information in the United States, regardless that certain governmental authorities outside of the United States might require a different level of protection of Personal Information.

HOW LONG WE RETAIN YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION
