YMC reserves the right to update and change the Terms and Conditions from time to time without notice. Continued use of the website after any such changes shall constitute your consent to such changes.

Order Placement. You represent and warrant that you are at least eighteen (18) years of age if you are placing an order to purchase products; (ii) YMC’s acknowledgement of an order is not acceptance of an order and YMC may reject or cancel an order at any time; (iii) you must provide a valid and authorized payment information and agree that YMC may charge the selected method of payment at the time of your transaction; (iv) you will pay all charges and losses incurred in connection with your purchase of products, including shipping fees, if applicable; (v) you will pay all applicable taxes; and (vi) if YMC does not receive payment from your payment card issuer, you will pay all amounts due upon demand.

Pricing and Shipping. Product pricing includes shipping (to the lower 48 states only) and additional shipping costs (to Alaska or Hawaii) will be as reflected on the website. Prices posted on the website are subject to change at any time without notice to you. YMC may offer rush or expedited production services for an additional charge. Prices on the website are in U.S. dollars for U.S. purchasers only; a shipping surcharge will be applied to shipments to Alaska or Hawaii. Expedited shipping may be available and fees will vary depending on distance, time and location. All purchases are subject to applicable taxes to be paid by the purchaser. You acknowledge and agree that shipping delays are out the control of YMC. For example, our shipping carrier could temporarily delay delivery of your order due to unavoidable circumstances, such as inclement weather, a natural disaster, a vehicle issue, or labor shortage. If you specify that a product should be shipped directly to a third-party cemetery you hereby represent and warrant that you have advised the cemetery of the direct shipment to ensure that the delivery is not rejected, that the cemetery understands the carrier’s shipping policies, and further you acknowledge and agree that the address that you provided for shipment is accurate and complete. You acknowledge and agree that natural stone gravestones, markers and headstones are heavy and oversized products. YMC carriers offer curbside delivery only; you will be responsible for moving the product to storage and/or its ultimate placement destination.

No Cancellations or Refunds; Returns. ALL SALES ARE FINAL. Because products are customized, once you place an order, you may not cancel your order or return your product except as otherwise set forth herein. Items that are damaged during shipment will be replaced free of charge; provided, however, that you notify us of the damage within 24 hours of delivery. Items that are incorrect due to the fault of YMC will be replaced free of charge. Please review your order upon delivery and notify us within 24 hours of mis-engraved items. See Paragraph 8 relating to your responsibility to verify the accuracy of engraved terms.

Product Availability. We cannot guarantee that any product listed on the website will be in stock or remain available. We reserve the right to discontinue offering any product at any time, in our sole discretion. In the event a product is not available at the time you place your order, we will send you a notice via email and cancel your order for the unavailable product. You acknowledge and agree there may be unintentional inaccuracies, omissions, or errors regarding price, offers, descriptions, promotions, availability, or other matters and except as provided by law, YMC will not be liable for these inaccuracies, omissions, or errors. YMC will attempt to correct such inaccuracies, omissions, or errors when brought to its attention. YMC does not claim that the information on the website is appropriate for or applicable to your jurisdiction or that the products described on the website will be available for purchase in all jurisdictions.

No Placement or Installation of Products. YMC manufactures, engraves, sells and offers for delivery custom gravestones, markers and headstones. You understand that YMC does not offer installation or other marker placement services. You are responsible for the proper installation of the marker or headstone. You further acknowledge and agree that YMC’s marker products are intended for flat placement; vertical installation of a marker is not recommended as it could fall and break. Improper installation of custom upright headstones could also result in the stone’s fall and breakage. YMC is not responsible for damage to a product once delivered, and is further not responsible for any death or injury caused by improper installation or placements of products.

Materials Appropriate for Intended Use. YMC sells gravestones, markers and headstones in a variety of materials. Some cemeteries do not permit the use of certain materials, therefore you acknowledge and agree that it is your responsibility to ensure that your material choice is permitted in the cemetery where you intend to place the stone product.

Natural Products. Products made from natural materials (marble, granite, stone, etc.) have natural variations. Marble has veining and marbling and can vary in color. Granite and stone have natural variations in color, veining and appearance. As a result, you should expect variations. These natural variations are not defects, and no refund or replacement will be made for natural products that have normal color, texture and appearance variations. If you order a sample, the sample product may vary in color to the actual product for various reasons, including natural variations. You should also understand that your computer monitor’s display of any product may not be accurate. Additionally, because the gravestone, marker or headstone will be subjected to the natural environmental elements, you acknowledge that stone and engraving may change appearance after exposure to sun, salt, wind and/or precipitation.

Engraving and Custom Products. Prior to placing an order for a customized or engraved gravestone, marker or headstone, you must review the text and content of your submission thoroughly for accuracy. Orders are printed and engraved in their “as submitted” form and you are solely and fully responsible for any text or content you submit as well as final proofing. YMC does not proof or pre-screen content and is not responsible for misspelled or mis-designed submissions. We reserve the right to reject orders and submissions that do not meet YMC policies or requirements. Our production of a product depicting the text or content you submit does not indicate that we approve the text or content. Profane, offensive, libelous, infringing or objectionable words, phrases or content will not be honored and YMC may refuse to accept such content.

Intellectual Property. By placing a custom order, you certify that you possess the lawful right to use all text and content submitted in your custom order and authorize YMC to copy, print and use said text and content to customize the product in the quantities requested. You represent and warrant that your submission does not infringe or violate any copyright, trademark, or other intellectual property or proprietary right of a third party or constitute counterfeiting, piracy, misappropriation of another’s idea or rights of privacy or publicity. We reserve the right (but have no obligation) to request confirmation from you in writing of your rights to or permission with respect to any text or content you submit with your order.

Production and Shipping. Production and shipping times are estimates only.

IN NO EVENT SHALL YMC LIABILITY EXCEED REIMBURSEMENT OF ANY MONIES PAID BY YOU UNDER THIS AGREEMENT AND THIS SHALL BE YOUR EXCLUSIVE AND SOLE REMEDY FOR ANY CLAIM HEREUNDER.
