1. Subscription Service. InfoHub is a software subscription service we offer for use in connection with standby power equipment.  The Service requires the pairing of standby power equipment and an internet connected device working together (“Equipment”).  The Service allows authorized users to collect, use, analyze and store comprehensive data about the Equipment they own or operate.  The Service may give you access to various types of information about your standby power equipment, such as run time, equipment status, maintenance, hours of operation, utilization, conditions, battery voltage levels, and equipment connectivity status.  You may create custom reports using the Service.  The Service includes analytic information about your use of the Equipment.

Subject to your timely payment of subscription fees and compliance with this Subscription Agreement, Briggs & Stratton will provide you with: (a) the right to access and use the Service and the Content in connection with the operation of Customer’s standby power equipment; and (b) support services for the Service.

2. Creating Accounts.  To use the Service, you must create a user account following the requirements set out in the InfoHub Standby Power Terms of Use.  If you are the  user of the standby power equipment, you may permit your dealer or others to access the Service by creating secondary accounts. If you are a dealer subscribing and servicing standby power equipment on behalf of the end user, you may allow the end user access to the Service by creating a secondary account.

3. CONNECTIVITY.  YOU ARE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE, AT YOUR OWN EXPENSE, FOR ACQUIRING, INSTALLING AND MAINTAINING ALL NECESSARY WIFI CONNECTIVITY NECESSARY TO ACCESS AND USE THE SERVICE. HOWEVER, IF APPLICABLE, ANY CONNECTIVITY THROUGH CELLULAR SERVICE SHALL BE INCLUDED WITH THIS SUBSCRIPTION.

Governing Law.  Except as expressly set forth below, this Subscription Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of Wisconsin without reference to the conflicts of law principles.  This Agreement shall not be governed by the United Nations Convention of Contracts for the International Sale of Goods, the International Sale of Goods Act (Ontario), or the Uniform Computer Information Transactions Act (UCITA), as amended, replaced or re-enacted from time-to-time, the application of any of which is hereby expressly excluded.

28. Exclusion of Liabilities; Consumer Protection Notices:

If you are a consumer, the provisions in this Subscription Agreement are intended to be only as broad and inclusive as is permitted by the laws of your jurisdiction of residence.

  • If you are a New Jersey Resident: 

No provision in this Subscription Agreement shall apply to any consumer in New Jersey if the provision limits remedies for: (i) negligence, (ii) products liability claims, (iii) punitive damages, (iv) the New Jersey Uniform Commercial Code, or (v) failure to reasonably protect against harm arising from certain criminal acts of third parties (e.g., computer hacking and identity theft).  The provisions of this Subscription Agreement concerning the exclusion or limitation of certain damages are not applicable in New Jersey with respect to statutory damages, punitive damages, loss of data, and loss of or damage to property.

Briggs & Stratton reserves all rights, defenses and permissible limitations under the laws of New Jersey and under the laws of your state of residence.

  • If you are a Canadian Consumer (Generally):

To the extent the laws of the Province of Canada in which you are a resident prohibit waivers of class actions in consumer agreements, such waiver shall be severed from this Subscription Agreement and the remaining terms and conditions herein, including the arbitration provisions, shall continue in full force and effect.  In the event the Province of Canada of which you are a resident prohibits waivers of class actions and binding arbitration in consumer agreements, such provisions shall be severed from this Subscription Agreement and the remaining terms and conditions herein shall continue in full force and effect.

  • If you are a Consumer located in Quebec.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, for consumers located in the Province of Quebec only, this Agreement is governed by the laws of the Province of Quebec and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein, without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision, principle or rule.  Furthermore, any provisions in this Agreement regarding (a) any stipulation whereby Briggs & Stratton is liberated from the consequences of its own acts and (b) any warranty exclusions prohibited by applicable law shall not apply with respect to consumers located in Quebec.

Notwithstanding language to the contrary below, in the event of conflict between the English and French versions of this Subscription Agreement, the terms most favorable to the consumer shall apply.

            Briggs & Stratton reserves all rights, defenses and permissible limitations under the laws of Canada, including, but not limited to, the Province of Quebec.

29. Modifications.  Briggs & Stratton reserves the right to modify this Subscription Agreement at any time.  If we materially update this Subscription Agreement at any time, we will send you at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice of the proposed modifications and the date such amendments will come into effect or as otherwise permitted by applicable law.  If you do not agree to such modifications, you have the right to terminate this Subscription Agreement by providing us written notice no later than thirty (30) days after the modifications become effective.

30. DISPUTE RESOLUTION AND ARBITRATION OF DISPUTES.

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.
