Memorials purchased later: If you buy a Memorial after buying the site or you decide to upgrade a memorial, you must pay us in accordance with the customer price list current at that time. A memorial will not be fully completed until it is paid in full.
Use of Natural Products: Many Memorials are made of natural products, such as granite or stone. We try to match samples or materials ordered as closely as possible, but you agree that natural imperfections or variations in colour, pattern or texture are unavoidable and are not defects.

Non provision of services
Refusal of service: We may refuse to allow use of the Site by any person who has engaged in conduct or has such a reputation which in our good faith opinion, would harm the reputation of the Park or us, or cause distress or concern for any bereaved families of deceased persons buried within the Park. You may then terminate this agreement and we will refund you all the monies you paid under this agreement (less any money you owe us).
Events beyond our control: Events beyond our control - if we are unable to place you or any Nominated User(s) in the site or to provide the Memorial or Ornamentation due to causes beyond our control (such as flooding, earthquake or fire), we will not be in default and will consult with you about providing an equivalent Site, memorial or Ornamentation if in the circumstances it is reasonably feasible. If it is not reasonably feasible or we cannot reach agreement, we will refund to you all monies paid under this agreement by you for anything we can no longer supply.
Out of Manufacture: if you prepay for a Memorial there is always a risk that at the time the Memorial is required the specific form of memorial is no longer manufactured. Should this occur we will provide after consultation with you a Memorial as close as practicable to the type nominated or you may, at your discretion, order a different type of Memorial at our then current customer price list. We will not collect prepayment from you for a specific type of memorial if we know that its intended manufacture will cease prior to the time we anticipate that it will be required.
