Funerals by Phone Agreement
Plaza Jewish Community Chapel can provide a live broadcast of a chapel funeral service over a telephone line. In order to access the broadcast, a caller dials an 800 number and provides the operator with the appropriate pass code. The procedure is similar to calling into a telephone conference call except that the system does not permit the caller to speak. Plaza strongly believes that attendance at a funeral and personal interaction with the bereaved family is a sacred obligation. Attendance by phone is rarely a proper substitute. Therefore, Plaza recommends that the use of this call-in capability be restricted to those individuals who due to age, health, travel restrictions or other special circumstances would clearly be unable to attend the funeral.
Plaza makes the telephone broadcast available at its cost without profit ($100/funeral) subject to the following terms and conditions:
1.There is no warranty or guarantee of any kind that the broadcast system will be in working order and will operate as intended at the date and time of the chapel service. Plaza shall have no liability whatsoever in the event that any party is unable to hear the funeral broadcast for any reason irrespective of whether that inability was due to a technical deficiency under the control of Plaza or a failure which was beyond Plaza’s control.
2.In order to protect the privacy of the bereaved family, Plaza will make the pass code for access to the broadcast available solely to the person making the funeral arrangements who has signed this Agreement (“the Undersigned") and to no other person. Plaza will refer all requests for the pass code to the Undersigned and will not make the pass code available without express written instructions from the Undersigned.
3.The Undersigned recognizes that the broadcast of a funeral over a telephone line is capable of being recorded or rebroadcast by any person who gains access to the pass code whether authorized or unauthorized. Plaza shall have no liability whatsoever for any such recording, rebroadcast or other unauthorized use of the broadcast or any transcript thereof. The Undersigned also acknowledges that Plaza exercises no authority or control over the content of the funeral and, therefore, agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Plaza and its officers, directors and employees harmless from any and all claims which may arise from or be occasioned by any matter contained in or resulting from the broadcast of the funeral, including but not limited to any claim of libel, slander, invasion of privacy, emotional injury or the unauthorized use of any copyright or other intellectual property right.
I have read the foregoing Agreement and accept its terms.
