With respect to our disclaimers, of course, we cannot and should not be responsible for misuse, abuse or misappropriation of our services, including, with regard to plaque creation and memory page management, along with possible false miscalculation and failed notices of annual reminders. Much of the information and settings are created by you and therefore it is up to you to confirm and decide how to initiate the reminder service and you agree to bear any and all risk and responsibility for such initiation.

Further, by becoming a Registered User with NJMW or its affiliates, you agree to the following:

  1. Sorting, modifying, updating, editing and/or a periodic review of the contents of your submissions, communications and postings, in the exclusive effort to ensure accuracy and readability of information you submit and that the services are not being abused or used for any illegal or inappropriate purposes as defined under any applicable laws.
  2. You will not submit, use, paste, or upload, download, or cut-and-past copyright protected works for which you do not at least have a license to use such works, and you assume full responsibility for any copyright violations for your unauthorized use of such works.
  3.

  4. The decision not to publish or to remove your plaque, memory page in whole or part, even privately, is the sole discretion of NJMW, for which NJMW need provide no explanations. If you attempt to post material which, in NJMW’s view, violates the norms of common decency or are even marginally risqué, you now give NJMW the right to edit your submission, refuse to publish such information, delete such information, or unpublish such information, and/or terminate your account and, to compensate NJMW for their efforts of ensuring appropriate content for other clients and visitors, you give NJMW the right to retain any fees you’ve paid. If NJMW deems content on your memory page or other information inappropriate for the site or sites on which you wish to publish or make your plaque or memory page available, but which is not otherwise indecent, you grant NJMW the right to modify the published sites you choose, publishing only on those which in NJMW’s sole judgment are appropriate for such content. The goal of this effort is to ensure that those who visit NJMW’s family of memorial web sites (e.g., dedicated to various faiths, general memorials and affiliate sites) will be pleased with the content they find and will not be offended by such content, a visitor to NationalMemorialWall.com finding content one would find appropriate to any website, a visitor to NationalJewishMemorialWall.com finding content appropriate to a Jewish website, and, likewise, a visitor to the National Memorial Wall finding things one would expect to find in a main stream, generically religious, theistic website which promotes honor and commemoration of a loved one. You agree that any of the public plaques and memory pages you create may be displayed or republished on appropriate affiliate sites.
