TERMS
Executive Systems Diversified (hereafter
referred to as “ESD” or “Company”)
Online Memorial Site Terms and Conditions of
Use (the “Terms”)
The Company provides
various services and tools that allow users to have memorial websites built and
maintained, receive tributes, preserve photos and video memories, have loved
one’s biography and timeline displayed to tell the story of an individual’s
life, invite family and friends to remember and honor, and convey remembrances
of friends and loved ones for other to see. These services and tools shall
collectively be known as the “Services”. The Company offers and/or
applies the Services at www.memorial324.com and on other Company websites and
applications that are powered by the Company, including memorial websites
developed by the Company including all programs, applications, and scripts (hereafter
known as, “Platforms” or “Platform”). Please read the following
Terms before applying and registering for the Services.
By downloading,
viewing, using, accessing, browsing or submitting any content or materials to acquire
the Services, you are agreeing to be bound by these Terms, and all applicable
laws and regulations, and agree that you are responsible for compliance with
any applicable local laws, without limitation or qualification.
The term “you”
or “You” shall refer to any person or entity who downloads, views, uses,
accesses, browses or submits any content or material to the Company to acquire the Services. If you do not agree with
any of these Terms, you are prohibited from ordering, using, or acquiring the
Services. The coding, programs, applications, materials, and documents contained
in the Services are protected by applicable copyrights and trademark laws.
Users
Visitors to the
Platform, or others, who inquire about, or order the Services (hereafter
referred to as the, “Customer”,“ Customers”, or “Potential
Customer”, or “Potential Customers”, or “User”, or “Users”)
are bound by these Terms, whether or not they have registered with the Company,
or on the Platforms. There are two main categories of Users, some with unique
sets of rights and responsibilities, others with general rights. The categories
are:
a. “Account Holders” are individuals with
registered accounts with Company or on the Platform, and are paying monthly
fees for their memorial websites. Account Holders might be the purchaser of one
or more memorials, or they may be a valid representative of an Account Holder and
have decision making authority given by the Account holder to make decisions
about the content on the Platform (memorial website).
Account Holders who create, submit, manage, and administer the
submission of content on a memorial site should, where possible, be the spouse,
child, parent, sibling, grandchild, grandparent, or close personal friend of
the subject of the memorial site, or have authorization from one of the above.
In the event of a dispute or conflict among, or complaint from
Users regarding who is entitled to act as an Account Holder of a memorial site or
what content should be on a site, we will endeavor to respect the desires of
the memorial subject’s immediate family. We reserve for ourselves the sole
right to determine whether or how to resolve such dispute, conflict or
complaint, with or without factual or other investigation, including the right
to remove the page entirely.
b. “Guests” are individuals without
registered accounts on the Platform or with the Company. Guests may view,
comment on, and download content from memorial pages, subject to the approval
of Company or the Account Holder.
User License
Company hereby grants
all Users the temporary right to view any content on the Platform for personal,
non-commercial transitory viewing only. This is the grant of a license, not a
transfer of title, and under this license you may not:
a. modify or copy the materials;
b. use the materials for any commercial purpose,
or for any public display (commercial or non-commercial);
c. attempt to decompile or reverse engineer any
software contained on the Platform;
d. remove any copyright or other proprietary
notations from the materials; or
e. transfer the materials to another person or
"mirror" the materials on any other server.

information that includes unusual capitalization, numbers, repeating characters
or symbols;

Services or with respect to the Services’ content;
e. not to use the Services to engage in
commercial or political activities;
f. not to create or maintain content in
connection with the Services for or with any commercial or other purpose or
intent that does not in good faith comply with the purpose or spirit of the
Services, including but not limited to: any kind of cyberbullying or otherwise

memorial page for an individual who is not deceased, defaming an individual or
their likeness, impersonating an individual, and linking to any commercial or

terminated by us at any time. In such cases where your use of the Services is
through a paid account, no refund will be given. Upon terminating your viewing
of these materials or upon the termination of this license, you must destroy
any downloaded materials in your possession whether in electronic or printed

Sharing Your Content

You confirm that you
own or have authorization from the owner for all of the content and information
you post on the Platform. Account Holders can control how the information is
used or disseminated on a memorial site. In addition:
a. Portions of the Services may allow you and
other Users to contribute material to be displayed on the Services ("User
Provided Content"). For User Provided Content, we are merely hosting and
providing access. We cannot accept any liability with regard to such material (including
with respect to its accuracy).
b. The decision to submit or upload information for
use by the Services is your responsibility and you should only submit content
that belongs to you or that you have authorization to use and that will not

to ESD or its representatives for use by the Services, you represent that you
have the right to do so or that you have obtained any necessary third party
consents (e.g., under privacy or intellectual property laws). Upon our request
you agree to furnish us with any documentation, proof and releases necessary
and reasonably required to verify and substantiate your compliance with this
provision.
c. For content that is covered by intellectual
property rights, like photos, documents, and videos (“IP Content”), you
specifically give us the following permission: you grant us a non-exclusive,
transferable, sub-licensable, royalty-free, worldwide license to use any IP Content
that you submit for use in the Services or in connection with the Platform or
Services (“IP License”).
d. When you request deletion of IP Content, you
understand that removed content may persist in backup copies for a reasonable
period of time. You further understand and are aware that even after IP Content
has been removed from the Platform, copies of content posted publicly may be
preserved in cashed or archived paged and may have been captured and stored by
other Users pursuant to the User License paragraph above.
