Working Draft

Frontend Test Notice

These Terms are a Cemlist-specific working draft for this frontend test. They must be reviewed and replaced with legally approved terms before Cemlist is offered to the public.

Using Cemlist

Directory and Listing Service

Cemlist provides cemetery directory information and a place for users to publish and discover cemetery plot listings. Information on Cemlist may change and should be confirmed with the cemetery office before you act on it.

No Transfer Authority

Cemlist does not sell cemetery property, transfer deeds, or approve ownership changes. The cemetery or other authorized record keeper determines whether a transfer is permitted and completes its required process.

Accounts and Listings

Accurate Information

Keep your account and listing information accurate. Only publish a listing when you have authority to offer the plot and can provide the cemetery information a buyer needs to verify the transfer process.

Prohibited Use

Do not use Cemlist for fraud, impersonation, harassment, unlawful activity, or misleading listings. Do not publish personal information that you are not allowed to share.

Review and Removal

Cemlist may review, correct, pause, or remove content that appears inaccurate, unsafe, unlawful, or inconsistent with these Terms.

Buyer and Seller Responsibilities

Verify Before Paying

Buyers and sellers are responsible for confirming the cemetery rules, ownership records, eligibility requirements, transfer fees, and paperwork directly with the cemetery. Never send money to a seller before the cemetery confirms in writing that it will record the transfer.

Independent Transactions

A listing or message on Cemlist does not create a contract with Cemlist. Any transaction is between the parties involved and remains subject to the cemetery requirements and applicable law.

Content and Intellectual Property

Your Content

You retain rights in content you submit. You give Cemlist permission to host, display, and use that content only as needed to operate, improve, and promote the service.

Cemlist Materials

The Cemlist name, design, software, and other platform materials belong to Cemlist or its licensors. Do not copy or misuse them without permission.

Disclaimers

Information Is Not Professional Advice

Cemlist does not provide legal, financial, tax, estate-planning, or cemetery-administration advice. Consult the cemetery and qualified professionals for advice about a specific transfer or estate.

Service Availability

Cemlist is provided as available. We do not guarantee that every listing, directory record, or feature is complete, current, or continuously available.

Contact and Changes

Questions

For questions about these working-draft Terms or to report a concern, use the Cemlist contact page.

Updates

Cemlist may update this working draft as the service is tested and developed. A legally approved version will identify its effective date before public launch.
