U.S. Government Rights

The Sites and Content are "Commercial Items", as that term is defined at 48 C.F.R. §2.101, consisting of "Commercial Computer Software" and "Commercial Computer Software Documentation", as such terms are used in 48 C.F.R. §12.212 or 48 C.F.R. §227.7202, as applicable.

Contractual Statute of Limitations

You agree that you will not assert against Caterpillar any claim or make a demand for dispute resolution arising directly or indirectly under or in connection with these Terms of Use that relates to, or assert as a cause for action, any event which occurred more than 12 months after the earliest date on which the facts are based were or could, with the exercise of reasonable diligence, have been known to you.

Dispute Resolution and Mandatory Arbitration

All disputes, claims and controversies relating in any way to your use of the Sites or Content, or to any products or services sold or distributed by such Sites, or otherwise arising out of or relating to these Terms of Use will be resolved by binding arbitration, rather than in court, except that you may assert claims in small claims court if your claims qualify. The Federal Arbitration Act and federal arbitration law apply to these Terms of Use.

To begin an arbitration proceeding, you must send a letter requesting arbitration and describing your claim to: Chief Legal Officer, Caterpillar Inc., 100 N.E. Adams St., Peoria, Illinois 61629. The arbitration will take place in Chicago, Illinois in accordance with the American Arbitration Association (AAA) Commercial Arbitration Rules and Mediation Procedures. Your request for arbitration must be post marked within the time period specified above under "Contractual Statute of Limitations." 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.

We each agree that any dispute resolution proceedings will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class, consolidated or representative action. If for any reason a claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration we each waive any right to a jury trial. We also both agree that you or we may bring suit in court to enjoin infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights.

The arbitration panel shall consist of one individual appointed by Caterpillar and you. Such individual shall (i) have been selected from the AAA's list of potential arbitrators, (ii) have at least 10 years of experience in the discipline which is the subject of the Dispute, and (iii) be an attorney whose 10 years of experience has been in the realm of litigating and arbitrating issues which are of the subject of the Dispute. If Caterpillar and you fail to mutually agree upon an arbitrator within 15 business days after receipt of the request to arbitrate, then the arbitration panel shall be selected by the administrative office of the AAA. Such office shall, within five days after notice by any party to these Terms of Use, select a single arbitrator who complies with the requirements otherwise set forth in this paragraph. The arbitrator shall render its decision as soon as reasonably possible after its appointment and must follow the terms of these Conditions of Use.

This agreement to arbitrate shall be specifically enforceable in any court having jurisdiction thereof. Any decision rendered by the arbitrator pursuant to any arbitration shall be final and binding upon the parties, and judgment may be entered upon in in accordance with applicable law in any court of competent jurisdiction.

The prevailing party in any arbitration or court proceedings shall be reimbursed by the other party for all costs, expenses and charges, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees, incurred by the prevailing party.

Choice of Law; Severability

These Terms of Use shall be governed by the laws of the State of Illinois, U.S.A. (regardless of the laws that might be applicable under its principles of conflict of laws). Each party submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of that place. If any provision of these Terms of Use, or the application thereof, is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable, such invalidity or unenforceability will not affect the other provisions of these Terms of Use, all of which shall remain in full force and effect, and such other provisions will be interpreted so as best to reasonably effect the intent of the parties. The parties further agree to replace any such invalid or unenforceable provision with a valid and enforceable provision designed to achieve, to the extent possible under applicable law, the business purpose and intent of such invalid or unenforceable provision. The laws of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods shall not apply.

We recognize that it is possible for you to obtain access to this site from any jurisdiction in the world, but we have no practical ability to prevent such access. This site has been designed to comply with the laws of the State of Illinois and of the United States. If any Content or User Materials on any Site, or your use of any Site, is contrary to the laws of the place where you are when you access it, the site is not intended for you, and we ask you not to use the site. You are responsible for informing yourself of the laws of your jurisdiction and complying with them.
