Tribute Technology Terms of Use

Last Updated: April 20, 2023

These Terms of Use, together with Tribute Technology’s Privacy Policy, (collectively, the “Terms”) set forth the terms and conditions that apply to your access and use of the website of Tribute Technology (https://www.tributetech.com/) and our associated services, including Tribute Technology services that are available through the websites of our client funeral homes and other funeral professionals (each, a “Client”) and any other websites where we link to these Terms (together, the “Sites”), whether as a Client, end user or customer of a Client, or otherwise. Such Tribute Technology services are referred to herein collectively as the “Services.” Certain Services accessible through the Sites may have their own terms and conditions that apply to your use of those particular Services. These Terms constitute a legally binding agreement between you, whether personally or on behalf of an entity (“you”), and the applicable entity referred to in Section 13 of these Terms (“Tribute Technology,” “we,” “us” and “our”) concerning your access to and use of the Services.

Notice of Binding Arbitration. These Terms provide that all disputes between you and us that in any way relate to these Terms or your use of the Services will be resolved by BINDING ARBITRATION. ACCORDINGLY, YOU AGREE TO GIVE UP YOUR RIGHT TO GO TO COURT (INCLUDING IN A CLASS ACTION PROCEEDING) to assert or defend your rights under these Terms. Your rights will be determined by a NEUTRAL ARBITRATOR and NOT a judge or jury and your claims cannot be brought as a class action.

For your protection and the protection of other users, we ask you not to share your Registration Information with anyone else. If you do share this information with anyone, we will consider their activities to have been authorized by you.

Tribute Technology has adopted and implements a policy that provides for termination in appropriate circumstances of accounts of users who repeatedly infringe copyright or other intellectual property rights of Tribute Technology or others.

Indemnification. You agree that you will be personally responsible for your use of the Services, and you agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Tribute Technology, its affiliates, and each of their respective directors, officers, employees and agents from and against any and all claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses (including attorneys’ and accounting fees and costs), arising out of or in any way connected with (i) your access to, use of, or alleged use of the Services, including, without limitation, involving any Content you post or submit to us or in connection with the Services; (ii) your violation of the Terms or any applicable law or regulation; (iii) your violation of any third party right, including without limitation any intellectual property right, publicity, confidentiality, property, or privacy right; (iv) any disputes or issues between you and any third party; or (v) access to, use of, or alleged use of the Services by anyone accessing the Services using your user name and password. Tribute Technology reserves the right, at our own expense, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter otherwise subject to indemnification by you, and in such case, you agree to cooperate with our defense of such claim. For the avoidance of doubt and without limiting the foregoing, you agree to indemnify Tribute Technology against any claims that Content you submit to Tribute Technology violates the intellectual property and/or privacy rights of any person or third party.

Termination. If you violate these Terms, your permission to use the Services will automatically terminate. In addition, Tribute Technology in its sole discretion may suspend or terminate your user account and/or suspend or terminate some or all of your access to the Services at any time, with or without notice to you. You may terminate your account at any time by contacting Tribute Technology at websites@tributetech.com. After your account is terminated, information and content previously provided by you will no longer be accessible through your account, but Tribute Technology may continue to store such information and content, and it may also be stored by third parties to whom it has been transferred through your use of the Services.

Modification of the Terms. Tribute Technology reserves the right at any time to modify these Terms and to impose new or additional terms or conditions on your use of the Services. Such modifications and additional terms and conditions will be effective immediately and incorporated into these Terms upon updating the posting of these Terms. We will make reasonable efforts to notify you of any material changes to the Terms, including by updating this posting. You should, therefore, periodically visit this page to review the current Terms, so you are aware of any such revisions to which you are bound. Your continued use of the Services following revisions to these Terms will be deemed acceptance of any modifications to the Terms.

Disclaimers of Warranties. THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND ON AN “AS AVAILABLE” BASIS, WITHOUT WARRANTY OR CONDITION OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. Although Tribute Technology seeks to maintain safe, secure, accurate, and well-functioning services, we cannot guarantee the continuous operation of or access to our Services, and there may at times be inadvertent technical or factual errors or inaccuracies. TRIBUTE TECHNOLOGY SPECIFICALLY (BUT WITHOUT LIMITATION) DISCLAIMS (I) ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, QUALITY OF INFORMATION, QUIET ENJOYMENT, AND TITLE/NON-INFRINGEMENT; AND (II) ANY WARRANTIES ARISING OUT OF COURSE-OF-DEALING, USAGE, OR TRADE. YOU ASSUME ALL RISK FOR ANY/ALL DAMAGES THAT MAY RESULT FROM YOUR USE OF OR ACCESS TO THE SITES AND THE SERVICES. TRIBUTE TECHNOLOGY DOES NOT WARRANT OR GUARANTEE THE ACCURACY, COMPLETENESS OR TIMELINESS OF, AND DISCLAIMS ALL LIABILITY FOR, ANY ERRORS OR OTHER INACCURACIES IN THE INFORMATION, CONTENT, RECOMMENDATIONS AND MATERIALS MADE AVAILABLE THROUGH THE SITES OR THE SERVICES. TRIBUTE TECHNOLOGY DOES NOT WARRANT THAT FILES AVAILABLE FOR DOWNLOAD WILL BE FREE OF VIRUSES, WORMS, TROJAN HORSES OR OTHER DESTRUCTIVE PROGRAMMING. YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR IMPLEMENTING PROCEDURES SUFFICIENT TO SATISFY YOUR NEEDS FOR DATA BACK UP AND SECURITY.

Limitation of Liability. IN NO EVENT WILL TRIBUTE TECHNOLOGY OR ITS AFFILIATES, VENDORS, SUPPLIERS, OR PARTNERS BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR ANY INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, INDIRECT, EXEMPLARY OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THOSE RESULTING FROM LOST PROFITS, LOST DATA, OR BUSINESS INTERRUPTION), WHETHER BASED ON WARRANTY, CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), STATUTE, OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY, WHETHER OR NOT TRIBUTE TECHNOLOGY HAS BEEN INFORMED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGE.

NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY IN THESE TERMS, UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHALL TRIBUTE TECHNOLOGY’S, OR ITS AFFILIATE’S, VENDOR’S, SUPPLIER’S, OR PARTNER’S, AGGREGATE LIABILITY TO YOU EXCEED THE LESSER OF THE AMOUNT YOU PAID TO US FOR THE PRODUCT OR SERVICE RELATED TO THE CLAIM, IF ANY, OR ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS ($100). SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES OR LIMITATION OF LIABILITY IN CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES. ACCORDINGLY, SOME OF THE ABOVE LIMITATIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

Interpretations and Disputes. YOU AND TRIBUTE TECHNOLOGY ARE AGREEING TO GIVE UP ANY RIGHTS TO LITIGATE CLAIMS IN A COURT OR BEFORE A JURY, OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION WITH RESPECT TO A CLAIM. OTHER RIGHTS THAT YOU WOULD HAVE IF YOU WENT TO COURT MAY ALSO BE UNAVAILABLE OR MAY BE LIMITED IN ARBITRATION.

ANY CLAIM, DISPUTE OR CONTROVERSY (WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE, WHETHER PRE-EXISTING, PRESENT OR FUTURE, AND INCLUDING STATUTORY, CONSUMER PROTECTION, COMMON LAW, INTENTIONAL TORT, INJUNCTIVE AND EQUITABLE CLAIMS) BETWEEN YOU AND US ARISING FROM OR RELATING IN ANY WAY TO THESE TERMS OR YOUR USE OF THE SITE OR SERVICES, INCLUDING ANY PURCHASE OR USE OF OUR SERVICES OR PRODUCTS, WILL BE RESOLVED EXCLUSIVELY AND FINALLY BY BINDING ARBITRATION.

If the location of the business address of the Client, or other business on whose website these Terms appear, is in the United States or anywhere else in the world outside of Canada, arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) in accordance with either the Consumer Arbitration Rules or the Commercial Arbitration Rules as applicable (the “AAA Rules”) then in effect, except as modified by this Section 12, and the Federal Arbitration Act (“FAA”) will govern the interpretation and enforcement of this Section 12; provided, that if the FAA is inapplicable for any reason, the applicable governing law identified in the table in Section 13 shall apply, including with respect to Delaware law, Del. Code tit. 10 § 5701 et seq, without regard to choice of law principles. (The AAA Rules are available at adr.org or by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879.) Unless you and we mutually agree otherwise, any in-person arbitration hearings between you and us will take place in the applicable jurisdiction listed in the table in Section 13 below.

If the location of the business address of the Client, or other business on whose website these Terms appear, is in Canada, arbitration will be administered by the International Centre for Dispute Resolution Canada (“ICDR Canada”) in accordance with the Canadian Arbitration Rules (the “ICDR Canada Arbitration Rules”) then in effect, except as modified by this Section. (The ICDR Canada Arbitration Rules are available at ICDR.org or by calling the ICDR Canada at 1-844-859-0845.) The seat of arbitration shall be Toronto, Ontario. Unless you and we mutually agree otherwise, any in-person arbitration hearings between you and us will take place in the applicable jurisdiction listed in the table in Section 13 below.

Except as provided herein, the arbitrator will have exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating to arbitrability and/or enforceability of this arbitration provision, including any unconscionability challenge or any other challenge that the arbitration provision or the Terms are void, voidable or otherwise invalid. The arbitrator will be empowered to grant whatever relief would be available in court under law or in equity. Any award of the arbitrator(s) will be final and binding on each of the parties and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction. You and we agree that neither party shall appeal any award of the arbitrator, including any appeal on a question of law, question of fact or question of mixed fact and law.

We will be responsible for paying any individual consumer’s arbitration/arbitrator fees. If an individual consumer prevails on any claim that affords the prevailing party attorneys’ fees, the arbitrator may award reasonable fees to you under the standards for fee shifting provided by law. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 12(E) shall only apply to individual consumers.

You agree to an arbitration on an individual basis. In any dispute, NEITHER YOU NOR TRIBUTE TECHNOLOGY WILL BE ENTITLED TO JOIN OR CONSOLIDATE CLAIMS BY OR AGAINST OTHER CUSTOMERS IN COURT OR IN ARBITRATION OR OTHERWISE PARTICIPATE IN ANY CLAIM AS A CLASS REPRESENTATIVE, CLASS MEMBER OR IN A PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL CAPACITY. The arbitral tribunal shall not consolidate more than one person’s claims and shall not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. The arbitral tribunal has no power to consider the enforceability of this class arbitration waiver and any challenge to the class arbitration waiver may only be raised in a court of competent jurisdiction located in the jurisdiction set forth in Section 13 below.

If any provision of this Section is found unenforceable, the unenforceable provision will be severed and the remaining arbitration terms will be enforced; provided, that in the event subsection (F) is found to be unenforceable, all of this Section 12 shall be deemed null and void and of no effect.

Contracting Entity; Governing Law. All references to “Tribute Technology,” “we,” “us” or “our” in the Terms refer to the applicable entity specified in the table below, which is based on the location of the business address of the Client or other business on whose website these Terms appear, as posted on such website. Additionally, these Terms are governed by the laws of the state or province identified in the table below, again based on the location of the business address of the Client or other business on whose website these Terms appear, and without regard to conflict of law principles. To the extent that any lawsuit or court proceeding is permitted hereunder, you and Tribute Technology agree to submit to the exclusive personal jurisdiction of the courts located in and for the ”Exclusive Jurisdiction” identified in the table below, for the purpose of litigating all such disputes. Any cause of action or claim with respect to the Sites or the Services must be commenced within two (2) years after the action or claim arises or is discovered.

2. No Waiver. The failure to require performance of any provision shall not affect our right to require performance at any time thereafter, nor shall a waiver of any breach or default of the Terms constitute a waiver of any subsequent breach or default or a waiver of the provision itself.
3. Paragraph Headers. Use of paragraph headers in the Terms is for convenience only and shall not have any impact on the interpretation of particular provisions.
4. Severability. In the event that any part of the Terms is held to be invalid or unenforceable, the unenforceable part shall be given effect to the greatest extent possible and the remaining parts will remain in full force and effect.

Tribute Technology is committed to protecting your personal information. This Privacy Notice describes the personal information that we collect about you, how we use and disclose this information, and the steps we take to protect this information. For purposes of this Privacy Notice, (a) “personal information” means any information that relates to you as an individual and could reasonably be used to identify you and (b) “Tribute Technology,” “we,” “us” and “our” each refer to the legal entity specified in the “Applicable Entity” section this Privacy Notice below. This Privacy Notice applies to our collection and use of personal information through this website and any related websites, applications, tools, or platforms (the “Services”), as well as through any other means where a link or reference to this Privacy Notice is provided at the time of collection.

Our Services

Tribute Technology’s primary business is as a software-as-a-service provider of funeral technology services, including website, payment processing, life insurance assignments, search engine optimization, marketing and ecommerce services, to funeral homes and other funeral professionals (our “Clients”). In connection with this facet of Tribute Technology’s business, Tribute Technology collects and stores personal information regarding individuals who visit and utilize certain functions or features of our and our Clients’ websites (“End Users”). This Privacy Notice applies to Tribute Technology’s collection and use of Client and End User personal information but not to our Clients’ or any other third party’s collection or use of such personal information.

Tribute Technology also maintains a web repository, the Tribute Archive, containing obituaries, a listing of funeral homes, and other funeral-related content in connection with which personal information may be collected from individuals (“Tribute Users”). This Privacy Notice also applies to Tribute Technology’s collection and use of personal information from Tribute Users and other individuals who interact directly with Tribute Technology.

Contact information (for example, name, phone number, mailing address, email address)
Payment-related details (for example, billing address and other credit card details)
Account information (for example, username and password and transaction history)
Communications (for example, submitted questions or other posts, marketing preferences and user generated content like photos and videos)

Categories of personal information that we may collect automatically when you use the Services include:

Technical information (for example, browser type, IP address, cookies, and operating system)
Usage information (for example, pages visited, search terms entered, and frequency of visits)

Categories of personal information that we may collect from other sources, including from our Clients in connection with their use of the Services, include:

End User contact information (for example, name, phone number, mailing address, email address)
End User payment-related details (for example, billing address and other credit card details)
End User funeral contributions, including tribute video data, data entered in funeral register books, obituaries and posts and comments
End User funeral administration data, including life insurance claim forms and affidavits to ensure dispersal of funds to cover funeral costs and data required to file death certificates

We use Google Analytics to collect and analyze information about use of the Services and to help us understand activities and trends. This includes use of Google Analytics performance reports relating to demographics and interests. As part of this service, we share a unique identifier with Google Analytics. You may opt-out of Google Analytics by installing a Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on available for download here: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

Finally, we may collect personal information pursuant to a legal or contractual requirement, and failure to provide such information may impact our ability to fulfill our obligations.

How We Use Your Personal Information

We may use the personal information we collect for the following purposes:

Provide and improve the Services. We may use your personal information to provide and improve the Services, including to fulfill your orders and requests and to post your comments and other funeral contributions. We may also use your personal information for the administration of our business, for business development purposes, and to fulfill our contractual obligations.

Risk mitigation and security. We may use your personal information for risk mitigation and security purposes, including to maintain the privacy and security of our data, to conduct internal audits or investigations, for data security testing and business continuity planning purposes, and to ensure the safety and security of our and our affiliates’ Clients, staff and assets.

Communication and marketing. We may use your personal information to communicate with you about the Services, respond to your questions, or offer you additional products or services.

Comply with the law and exercise our rights. We may use your personal information as reasonably necessary to assess and ensure compliance with applicable laws, legal requirements, and company policies; to protect our and our affiliates’ assets or to investigate or defend against any claims of illegality or wrongdoing (including to obtain legal advice or to establish, exercise or defend legal rights); and in response to a court order or judicial or other government subpoena or warrant.

Corporate transaction. We may use your personal information in the event we undertake or are involved in or contemplating any merger, acquisition, reorganization, sale of assets, bankruptcy, or insolvency event.

We may also aggregate, anonymize, or otherwise de-identify your personal information and use it for any purpose permitted by applicable law.

Some jurisdictions require that we determine a “lawful basis” for processing personal information. Where such requirements exist, we rely on the following lawful bases for our processing activities: that you have consented to the processing; that the processing is necessary for the performance of our contract with you; that we have a legal obligation; or that we have a legitimate interest in providing and improving the Services and managing our business operations. Our Clients determine the lawful basis for processing End User personal information.

Use of Cookies

When you use the Services, we may send one or more cookies (which are small text files containing a string of alphanumeric characters) to your computer or mobile device, to help analyze our web page flow, customize our content, measure promotional effectiveness, and promote trust and safety. You are always free to decline our cookies if your browser permits, although doing so may interfere with your ability to use the Services or certain features of the Services. We may also use Google Analytics or a similar service that uses cookies to help us analyze how users use the Services.

We may also allow certain third parties such as advertising, analytics providers, and widget providers to place cookies in order to collect information about your online activities over time and across different websites when you access or use the Services. Currently, various browsers offer a “Do Not Track” option, but there is no standard for how “Do Not Track” should work on commercial websites. Due to the lack of such standards, the Services, including this website, do not respond to “Do Not Track” consumer browser settings.

How and When We Disclose Your Personal Information

We may disclose your personal information to the following categories of recipients, to be used only for legitimate purposes in keeping with this Privacy Notice:

Group companies and affiliates. We may disclose, share, or transfer your information to any business entity that is part of our corporate family.

Clients. We may share your information with our Clients in connection with our Clients’ provision of services to you.

Service providers and professional advisors. We may disclose your information to third party vendors who provide services in support of our business operations, such as website development and hosting, payment processing, marketing management, service optimization, vendors that fulfill orders for funeral-related items such as flowers, and data analytics. We may also disclose your personal information to professional advisors such as our attorneys, accountants, and ours or End Users’ insurance providers.

Parties involved in a corporate transaction. We may disclose your information to relevant third parties in the event of a divestiture, merger, consolidation, or asset sale, or in the unlikely event of a bankruptcy.

Law enforcement or other governmental entities. We may disclose your information if required to do so by law or if we believe in good faith that such action is necessary to comply with the law, prevent unlawful activity, defend our rights, or maintain security.

Other third parties with your consent. We may disclose your information to any other third party where you have provided consent to such disclosure.

Security, Retention & Transfer of Personal Information

We have implemented and maintain commercially reasonable and appropriate technical and organizational measures designed to protect the confidentiality, integrity, and security of your personal information. Please note, however, that no security measures are perfect or impenetrable. We therefore cannot guaranty and do not warrant the absolute security of your personal information. We retain your personal information for no longer than reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes for which we collected it or to comply with the law, prevent fraud, facilitate an investigation, defend against legal claims, or exercise our legal rights.

Depending on your location, the personal information we collect about you may be transferred to a jurisdiction that does not provide the same level of protection of personal information as the jurisdiction in which you reside. Among other places, personal information may be transferred to, and stored in, Canada, Australia and the United States. Transfers from the European Union to Canada are made pursuant to European Commission Decision 2002/2/EC, which determined that Canada is considered as providing an adequate level of protection of personal information.

Your Choices & Rights

You may decline to share certain information with us, in which case we may not be able to provide to you some of the features and functionality of the Services. Once you have registered for an account with us, you may update, correct, or delete your profile information and preferences at any time by accessing your account preferences page through the Services. If you do not wish to receive marketing communications from us, you can opt-out by using the unsubscribe process provided or described in any such communication, but you may still receive transactional or administrative communications from us. Although your changes are reflected promptly in active user databases, we may retain all information you submit for a variety of purposes, including backups and archiving, prevention of fraud and abuse, and analytics.

Depending on your location and subject to local law, you may have certain rights with respect to your personal information. These may include: the right to access, correct, and delete your personal information; the right to restrict or object to our use of your personal information; and the right to receive a portable copy of your personal information in a usable format. If you provide us with consent to use your personal information, you may withdraw that consent at any time, however, such withdrawal will not impact the lawfulness of our use of your personal information based on your consent up to that point.

To make a request related to your personal information or otherwise exercise your rights, you may contact us using the contact information provided below.
