You represent and warrant that: (i) all required registration information that you submit is truthful, complete and accurate; (ii) you will maintain the accuracy of such information; and (iii) your use of the Services will not violate any US, Canadian or other applicable law or regulation (e.g., you are not located in an embargoed country or are not listed as a prohibited or restricted party under applicable export control laws and regulations).

You agree to use strong Passwords with your Account and to maintain your Password securely to prevent others from gaining access.

Komatsu is not liable in any way for any loss or damage to you or other persons arising from your failure to comply with the above requirements.
- Authorized Users. The individual who creates an account is the "Owner" of that Account. Persons who are Komatsu authorized dealers are "Authorized Dealer Users." Product owners and their personnel are "Authorized End Users." Authorized Dealer Users and Authorized End Users are together referred to as "Authorized Users." Authorized Users will have the ability to use the Services and monitor the Products and take certain actions in connection with the Products. Authorized Users may also have the ability to view information (including personal information and an audit trail of where Products are located and how they have been operated) and content pertaining to utilization of the Product. Authorized Users are responsible for their own actions in connection with the Services. Owner shall require an Authorized User to comply with these Terms. Owner also hereby agrees to be fully responsible for all actions taken by Authorized Users and others relating to use of the Owner's Account, including for the parts and services ordered through the Services. If you are an Owner who invites or enables an Authorized User, You acknowledge and agree that the Authorized User may subsequently invite or enable other Authorized Users with the same access and ability to use the Services set out above. As a result, if you are an Owner, You should only authorize those individuals whom You trust to access your Account and the Services. Komatsu recommends that each Owner deactivate any Authorized User Account immediately upon their exit from Owner's employment. If You discover that there is an actual or possible violation of these Terms committed by an Authorized User, You shall immediately inform Komatsu. Komatsu disclaims any liability for purchases made by an Authorized User through the Services, including after the Authorized User's employment has been terminated, unless Komatsu has been explicitly advised to deactivate such account and has failed to do so.
- Chief Administrator. Before starting use of any of the Services, a Customer may as necessary assign a Chief Administrator of the Account. The Chief Administrator will register the account on the Account Services, and inform Komatsu of the name, email address, login ID, etc. of the Chief Administrator. An account owned by a Chief Administrator shall automatically be designated the Administrator Account. The Chief Administrator may register the account for other Authorized Users on the Account Services, or invite other Authorized Users. Authorized Users who are so registered or invited by the Chief Administrator may register the Account on the Account Service for other Authorized Users or invite other Authorized Users. Other Authorized Users who were invited by the Chief Administrator or another Authorized User may register their account on the Account Service. Such an account so created shall be owned by each Authorized User and referred to as the “General Account”, which, along with the Administrator Account, shall hereinafter collectively be referred to as the “Customer Account.” You must not have those other than the Chief Administrator use the Administrator Account or have those other than the Authorized User him/herself who owns the General Account use the General Account.

the use of an Account shall be deemed to be taken by the Owner of the Account
or an Authorized User. In the case where a third party uses a Service by

the damage.

appropriate, such as suspension of the use of the Services or forced withdrawal
after deleting all or part of the Customer Information without the prior notice
to the Customer or User. Komatsu shall not be held liable in any way for the
