MyKomatsu is also available for use by Komatsu authorized dealers in the United States and Canada.


Komatsu America Corp. and its affiliates (collectively, “Komatsu”) provides (1) the Komatsu website located at https://mykomatsu.komatsu/ , and all associated sites linked to https://mykomatsu.komatsu/ (each a “Site”), (2) services accessible through the Sites (“Web Apps”), (3) software that may be downloaded to your smartphone or tablet to access services (“Mobile Apps”), and (4) subscription services, including services that can be accessed using the Web Apps and Mobile Apps (“Subscription Services”), all for use in conjunction with Komatsu machines, equipment, and other products (“Products”) and in other ways that Komatsu provides. The term “Services” means the Sites, Web Apps, Mobile Apps, and Subscription Services. Komatsu does not charge you for accessing and using the Services.


These Terms of Service (“Terms” or “Agreement”) govern your access to, and use of, the Services. Please read these Terms carefully. The term “you”, as used in these Terms, means any person or entity who accesses or uses the Services and any person or entity who creates an Account (as defined below) and accepts these Terms. These Terms give you specific legal rights. In addition, you may also have other legal rights which vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. The disclaimers, exclusions, limitations of liability, indemnification, and waiver of punitive damages under these Terms will not apply to the extent prohibited by applicable law.


THESE TERMS ARE A LEGAL AGREEMENT. BY ACCEPTING THESE TERMS THROUGH A SITE, WEB APP OR MOBILE APP, OR BY ACCESSING AND USING THE SERVICES (INCLUDING THE SITES), YOU ARE ACCEPTING AND AGREEING TO THESE TERMS ON BEHALF OF YOURSELF OR THE ENTITY THAT YOU REPRESENT IN CONNECTION WITH THE ACCESS AND USE. YOU REPRESENT AND WARRANT THAT YOU HAVE THE RIGHT, AUTHORITY AND CAPACITY TO ACCEPT AND AGREE TO THESE TERMS ON BEHALF OF YOURSELF OR THE ENTITY THAT YOU REPRESENT. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE WITH ANY OF THE PROVISIONS OF THESE TERMS, YOU SHOULD CEASE ACCESSING OR USING THE SERVICES.

1. Overview, Eligibility, Customer Service, Term and Termination

1.1 Overview and Relation to Other Agreements.These Terms govern your use of the Services. Your purchase of any Product is governed by the limited warranty provided with that Product (“Limited Warranty”) and may further be governed by the Terms & Conditions of Sale. The software embedded in a Product (and any updates thereto) (“Product Software”) is licensed and governed by Komatsu’s Komtrax Terms of Use. Certain features of the Services may be subject to additional guidelines, terms or rules, which will be posted on the Services in connection with such features. Komatsu’s then-current privacy policy (“Privacy Policy”) details Komatsu’s practices with respect the data and information collected or obtained through the Services. All additional guidelines, terms or rules and the Privacy Policy are incorporated by reference into these Terms and you are agreeing to accept and abide by them by using the Services.


1.2 Eligibility.You may use the Services and Products only if you are a Komatsu authorized dealer or an owner of a Product or their personnel and authorized to use the Services, accept these Terms through a Site, Web App or Mobile App, or by accessing or using the Services, and only if you are in compliance with these Terms and all applicable local, state/provincial, national and international laws, rules and regulations. The Services are not available to any users previously prohibited from using the Services by Komatsu.


1.3 Customer Service.If you have any questions or concerns regarding the Services or these Terms, please contact Komatsu. If you have any questions or concerns regarding the Products, please contact your authorized Komatsu dealer or sales representative. If you have questions or concerns about parts or services that are ordered through the Services or need to make return or receive a refund, please contact the authorized Komatsu dealer with whom the order was placed or from whom the part or service was sold.


1.4 Term and Termination.These Terms will remain in full force and effect as long as you continue to access or use the Services, or until terminated in accordance with the provisions of these Terms. At any time, Komatsu may (i) suspend or terminate your rights to access or use the Services, or (ii) terminate these Terms with respect to you if Komatsu, in good faith, believes that you have used the Services in violation of these Terms, including any incorporated guidelines, terms or rules. If you are a Product owner and transfer a Product to a new owner, your right to use the Services with respect to that Product automatically terminates and the new owner will have no right to use the Services under your account and will need to register for a separate account with Komatsu and accept these Terms.


1.5 Effect of Termination.Upon termination of these Terms, your Account and your right to use the Services will automatically terminate.

2. Accounts

2.1 Your Account.To use the Services, you must register for a user account (“Account”) and provide certain information about yourself, as prompted by the applicable registration form (such as your first and last name, your phone number and your email address). The Services use Microsoft authentication and require you to create the Account with Microsoft. Once the Account is created with Microsoft, you will be redirected to the Services. Komatsu will have access to your email address and display name from Microsoft. You represent and warrant that: (a) all required registration information that you submit is truthful, complete and accurate; (b) you will maintain the accuracy of such information; and (c) 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 are entirely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your Account log-in information and for all activities that occur under your Account. You agree to use strong passwords (passwords that use a combination of upper- and lower-case letters, numbers and symbols) with your Account and to maintain your password securely to prevent others from gaining access. You agree to immediately notify Komatsu of any unauthorized use or suspected unauthorized use of your Account, or any other breach of security. Komatsu is not liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to comply with the above requirements.


2.2 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 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. (For example, an Authorized End User can search for Product replacement parts at nearby authorized Komatsu dealers and may order parts or service for a Product via the Service). Authorized Users may also have the ability to view information (including personal information and audit trail of where Products are located and how they have been operated, including idle time) and content pertaining to utilization of the Product (for example, an Authorized User can view the services history for a particular Product). Authorized Users are responsible for their own actions in connection with the Services. 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 your 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. Komatsu disclaims any liability for purchases made by an Authorized User through MyKomatsu, 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.

3. Access to Services

3.1 Access and Use.Subject to these Terms, Komatsu hereby grants you a non-transferable, non-exclusive right (without the right to sublicense) to access and use the Services by (i) using the Web Apps in connection with, and solely for the purpose of, monitoring the Products you own or are authorized to use or otherwise accessing a service explicitly provided by Komatsu for your own business use (the “Permitted Purpose”), (ii) installing and using the Mobile Apps solely on your own handheld mobile device (e.g., iPhone, iPad or Android smartphone) and solely for the Permitted Purpose, and (iii) accessing the Sites solely for the Permitted Purpose.


3.2 Automatic Software Updates.Komatsu may, from time to time, develop patches, bug fixes, updates, upgrades and other modifications to improve the performance of the Services and/or the Product Software (“Updates”). These may be automatically installed on Products without providing any additional notice or receiving any additional consent. You consent to this automatic update. You acknowledge that you may be required to install Updates to use the Services with the Products and you agree to install promptly the Updates that Komatsu provides. Your continued use of the Services is your agreement – (i) to these Terms with respect to the Services, and (ii) to the End User License Agreement with respect to updated Product Software; and (iii) any change or updates that Komatsu may make to these Terms or the End User License Agreement over time.


3.3 Transactions with Authorized Dealers and Other Third Parties.Komatsu-provides an interface that allows you, through and using the Services, to search for and locate OEM replacement parts at nearby Komatsu authorized dealers and pricing and place orders for parts and services from such dealers (“Dealer Parts and Services”). Over time, Komatsu may also provide the opportunity for you to obtain other third-party products and services through and using the Services (collectively, “Third-Party Products and Services”). You decide whether you want to interface, and with which Third-Party Products and Services you want to interface. With respect to each a particular Third-Party Product and Service that you interface with, you agree that Komatsu may exchange information and data regarding you and your products and orders, including your personal information, with that dealer or third-party provider. After this information is shared with the particular dealer or third party, its use will be governed by the dealer or other third party’s privacy policy and not by Komatsu’s Privacy Policy. You acknowledge and agree that Komatsu makes no representation or warranty about any Third-Party Products or Services or the interface with Product and Services. Accordingly, Komatsu is not responsible for your use of any Third-Party Product or Service, or any personal injury, death, property damage (including, without limitation, to your Products or anything at a job site), or other harm or losses arising from or relating to your use of any Third-Party Products or Services. You should contact the third party with any questions about their Third-Party Products and Services. Transactions for Third-Party Products and Services are between you and the dealer or other third-party. Komatsu has no role therein. If you have questions about your order, shipping dates, fulfillment, returns, service claims, or warranty claims or other issues with respect to Third-Party Products and Services, you must contract the Komatsu authorized dealer or other third party. When you order Third-Party Products and Services, you may be required to provide credit card information for payment. Komatsu does not receive the credit card information; it is provided by you directly to the payment processor and the transaction is completed with and fulfilled by the applicable dealer or other third-party.

Nothing in these Terms limits your rights under, or grants you rights that supersede, the terms and conditions of any applicable end-user license for such Open-Source Software. In particular, nothing in these Terms restricts your right to copy, modify and distribute such Open-Source Software that is subject to the terms of the GPL.

If you choose to use the Services with Products located outside the United States and Canada (each, a “Target Country”), you do so on your own initiative and you are solely responsible for complying with applicable local laws in your country. You understand and accept that the Services are not designed for use in a non-Target Country and that some, or all, of the features of the Sites may not work or be appropriate for use in such a country. Komatsu accepts no responsibility or liability for any damage or loss caused by your use of the Komatsu Products in a non-Target Country. You will be bound by these Terms wherever you access or use the Sites or the Services or use the Komatsu Products.


3.10 Geo-Location Terms.The Services include and make use of certain functionality and services provided by third-parties that allow Komatsu to include maps, geocoding, places and other content from Google as part of the Services (the “Geo-Location Services”). Your use of the Geo-Location Services is subject to Google’s then current Terms of Use for Google Maps/Google Earth (https://www.google.com/intl/en_us/help/terms_maps.html) and by using the Geo-Location Services, you are agreeing to be bound by Google’s Terms of Use. Geo-Location Services are used at your own risk and location data may not be accurate.

4. Agreed Usage and Limitations of Komatsu Services and Products

4.1 Intended Use of Komatsu Services.The Services are intended to be accessed and used for obtaining non-time-critical information about your Komatsu Products and managing them. While Komatsu aim for the Services to be highly reliable and available, they are not intended to be reliable or available 100% of the time. The Services are subject to sporadic interruptions and failures for a variety of reasons beyond Komatsu’s control, including Internet connectivity intermittency, problems with the Komatsu Products, service provider uptime, mobile notifications and operators, among others. You acknowledge these limitations and agree that Komatsu is not responsible for any damages allegedly caused by the failure or delay of the Services.


4.2 Reliability of Services.You acknowledge that the Services, including email notifications, are not error-free or 100% reliable and 100% available. Proper functioning of the Services relies and is dependent on, among other things, the transmission of data through a network, enabled wireless device (such as a phone or tablet) and Internet access, and cellular service, for which Komatsu is not responsible, and may be interrupted, delayed, refused, or otherwise limited for a variety of reasons, including insufficient coverage, power outages, termination of service and access, environmental conditions, interference, non-payment of applicable fees and charges, unavailability of radio frequency channels, system capacity, upgrades, repairs or relocations (collectively, “Service Interruptions”). Service Interruptions may result in the Services being unreliable or unavailable for the duration of the Service Interruption. Komatsu cannot and does not guarantee that you will receive information or notifications within any given time, or at all. YOU AGREE THAT YOU WILL NOT RELY ON THE SERVICES FOR ANY CRITICAL PURPOSES. NOTIFICATIONS REGARDING THE STATUS OF YOUR KOMATSU PRODUCTS ARE PROVIDED FOR INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY – THEY ARE NOT A SUBSTITUTE FOR TAKING PROPER CARE OF YOUR PRODUCTS AND EXERCISING ORDINARY PRUDENCE.


4.3 Service Interruptions.The Services may be suspended temporarily, without notice, for security reasons, systems failure, maintenance and repair, or other circumstances. Komatsu does not offer any specific uptime guarantee for the Services.


4.4 System Requirements.The Services will not be accessible without: (i) a working network in your office, place of work, job site, or other location that is positioned to communicate reliably; (ii) an Account; (iii) an enabled and supported wireless device, such as a phone or tablet (required for some features and functionalities of the Service); (iv) always-on broadband Internet access for the Products with bandwidth sufficient to support you use; (v) the Products and the properly installed communications and data gathering equipment on the Products – which are sold separately; and (vi) other system elements that may be specified by Komatsu. It is your responsibility to ensure that you have all required system elements and that they are compatible and properly configured. You acknowledge that the Services may not work as described when the requirements and compatibility have not been met. If you modify, substitute, move, or otherwise change any of the required system elements, it is your sole duty and responsibility to be sure they are compatible and properly installed and configured to work with the Services.


4.5 Product Information.The Services provide you with information regarding the Products, including, without limitation, information about their use and operation, performance (including historical performance and service and repair records) and maintenance needs, service bulletins and recall information (“Product Information”). All Product Information is provided “as is” and “as available.” Komatsu cannot guarantee that it is complete, 100% correct or always up-to-date. In cases where it is critical, accessing Product Information through the Services is not a substitute for direct inspection of a Product and performing preventative and other routine maintenance and properly training and managing your equipment operators, and for obtaining service bulletins and recall information from means other than the Services, including directly from authorized Komatsu dealers.


4.6 Prohibited Conduct.You warrant, represent and agree that you will not use the Services in any way that (i) infringes or violates the intellectual property rights or proprietary rights, rights of publicity or privacy or other rights of any third party; (ii) violates any law, statute, ordinance or regulation or is otherwise illegal; (iii) is harmful, fraudulent, deceptive, threatening, abusive, harassing, tortious, defamatory, vulgar, obscene, libelous or otherwise objectionable; (iv) impersonates any person or entity, including, without limitation, any employee or representative of Komatsu; (v) introduces a virus, Trojan Horse, worm, time bomb or other harmful computer code, file or program; (vi) risks the security of your Komatsu Account or anyone else’s Account (such as allowing someone else to log into the Services as you); (vii) attempts, in any manner, to obtain or access the password, account, products, devices, systems, or other security information from any other user or third party; (viii) violates the security of any computer network or cracks any passwords or security encryption codes; (ix) runs any form of auto-responder or “spam” on the Services or any processes that otherwise interfere with the proper working of the Services (including by placing an unreasonable load on the Services’ infrastructure); (x) copies or stores any significant portion of the videos or other content available therein; (xi) decompiles, reverse-engineers or otherwise attempts to obtain the source code or underlying ideas or information of or relating to the Services; (xii) denigrates or disrupts any network capacity or functionality; or (xiii) engages in remote monitoring to provide remote monitoring, key management, security or other professional services for anyone.


4.7 Privacy and Data Protection Laws.Please see Komatsu’s Privacy Policy for information about Komatsu’s practices with respect to the data and information collected and obtained in connection with the Services. You agree that you (and not Komatsu) are responsible for ensuring that you comply with any applicable laws when you use the Services.


4.8 Installation, Test and Use.It is your responsibility to enable the Products to operate with the Services pursuant to the applicable Product manual and instructions. IF THE COMMUNICATIONS ASPECT OF A PRODUCT IS NOT PROPERLY INSTALLED OR FUNCTIONING, OR IF A PRODUCT IS HINDERED OR OBSTRUCTED BY TREES, BUILDINGS OR OTHER OBJECTS, YOU MAY EXPERIENCE OPERATIONAL FAILURES. It is your responsibility to test the Services to be sure the Products (and any related components and peripherals) are functioning and communicating as intended and designed, and then regularly test the Services with the Products.

5. Limitations of Komatsu Services Due to Third Parties

5.1 General.Komatsu Services relies on and interoperates with third-party products and services, including Microsoft for authentication, Amazon Web Services for cloud services, and Google Maps for geo-mapping functionality. These third-party products and services are beyond Komatsu’s control, and their operation may impact on, or be impacted by, the use and reliability of the Komatsu Services. You acknowledge and agree that: (i) the use and availability of the Services in such situations is dependent on third-party product vendors and service providers, (ii) these third-party products and services may not operate in a reliable manner 100% of the time and they may impact on the way that the Komatsu Services operate, and (iii) Komatsu is not responsible for damages and losses due to the operation of these third-party products and services.


5.2 Third-Party Service Providers Used By Komatsu.You acknowledge that Komatsu uses third-party service providers to enable some aspects of the Services – such as, for example, data storage, synchronization and communication through Amazon Web Services and mobile device notifications through mobile operating system vendors and mobile operators. YOU AGREE NOT TO RELY ON THE SERVICES FOR ANY SAFETY OR TIME-CRITICAL PURPOSES OR FOR MATTERS WHERE FAILURE OF THE SERVICES MAY LEAD TO DEATH, BODILY INJURY OR DAMAGE TO PROPERTY.


5.3 Equipment, ISP and Operator.You acknowledge that the availability of the Services is dependent on (i) your computer, mobile device, office, building, structure or home wiring, network, connectivity and other related equipment (“Equipment”), (ii) your Internet service provider (“ISP”) and (iii) your mobile device operator (“Operator”).

You also acknowledge that you are responsible for compliance with all applicable agreements, terms of use/service and other policies of your ISP and Operator.


5.4 App Stores.You acknowledge and agree that the availability of the Mobile Apps is dependent on the third-party websites from which you download the Mobile Apps, e.g., the Google Play Store from Google or the App Store from Apple (each an “App Store”). You acknowledge that these Terms are between you and Komatsu and not with an App Store. Each App Store may have its own terms and conditions to which you must agree before downloading Mobile Apps from it. You agree to comply with such App Store terms and conditions, and your license to use the Mobile Apps is conditioned upon your compliance with such App Store terms and conditions. To the extent that such other terms and conditions from such App Store are less restrictive than or otherwise conflict with the terms and conditions of these Terms, the more restrictive or conflicting terms and conditions in these Terms apply.


5.5 Third-Party Website Links and Referrals.The Sites may contain links to other websites operated by dealers and other third parties (“Third-Party Sites”) and referrals to dealers and other third-party vendors (“Referred Vendors”). Such Third-Party Sites and Referred Vendors are not under Komatsu’s control. Komatsu provides these links and referrals only as a convenience and does not review, approve, monitor, endorse, warrant or make any representations with respect to such Third-Party Sites or Referred Vendors. Your use of these Third-Party Sites is at your own risk.


5.6 Authorized Users.Komatsu is not responsible for any Authorized User’s behavior, or for any personal injury, death, property damage (including, without limitation, to your Products), or other harm or losses arising from or relating to their use of the Services.

6. Ownership and Intellectual Property
