TERMS OF USE
Affordable Funerals Network, Inc. (hereinafter “AFN”) helps people looking for funeral related services and goods by putting them in contact with professional funeral service providers throughout the United States. AFN has developed and maintains a network of third-party funeral service providers (“Providers” or “Provider”) to connect with customers interested in or in need of such services and goods. Through the AFN website located at www.afnfunerals.com (the “Site”), AFN allows users to connect with a funeral service provider in their location of need to
contract with that Provider for a variety of pre-set offerings of certain funeral goods and services (“Offerings”). Users of the Site may purchase these Offerings directly from the Provider
identified for their area, and may buy other goods or services from that Provider in addition to, or
as an alternative to, the Offerings if the user so wishes.
You may contact AFN using the “Contact Us” function on the Site.
This Site is owned and operated by AFN. The Site’s purpose is to provide information and
connect Users with third-party funeral service providers. AFN does not provide the funeral
goods and services Offerings advertised on the Site, nor does it provide any other goods or
services which may be purchased from the Providers. Instead, AFN collects a service fee for
connecting Users with a local Provider who can engage in a commercial transaction with the
User for the purchase and sale of the advertised reduced funeral Offerings and/or other goods or
services from the local Provider if the User so chooses. The actual contract for the Offerings and
any other goods and services is directly between the Users and the Providers. At all times, AFN
is at most an intermediary between Users and Providers, and the only contract and obligations
between Users and AFN is the contract and obligations provided for under these Terms of Use.
These Terms of Use (“Terms of Use”) define the terms and conditions under which AFN makes
its Site and services available to You and other Users. BY USING THIS SITE, YOU AGREE
TO THESE TERMS OF USE. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE, DO NOT USE THE SITE.
These Terms of Use are a legally binding agreement made by and between AFN and You (and, if
applicable, on behalf of the entity or entities you represent or for whom you are using the Site)
(collectively, “You” and “Your”). These Terms of Use govern Your access and/or use of the
Site and You should read them carefully. BY ACCESSING OR USING ANY PART OF THIS
WEBSITE OR THE AFN SERVICES, YOU AGREE THAT YOU HAVE READ,
UNDERSTOOD, AND AGREED TO BE BOUND BY THESE TERMS OF USE AND OUR
PRIVACY POLICY. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO BE SO BOUND, STOP USING THE
SITE IMMEDIATELY, DO NOT ACCESS OR USE THIS SITE IN THE FUTURE, AND DO
NOT PURCHASE ANY ADVERTISED OFFERING OR ENGAGE IN ANY COMMERCIAL
TRANSACTION WITH THE PROVIDER YOU WERE CONNECTED WITH THROUGH
AFN reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to make changes to portions or all of these Terms of
Use at any time. You are responsible for checking these Terms of Use periodically for changes.

Terms of Use that is posted on the Site.
This Site is intended to be used only by individuals and entities that can form legally binding

18 years of age). AFN does not knowingly solicit data from minors under 18 and it does not

Third-Parties Will Provide the Advertised Discounted Funeral Offerings, and Any Other Funeral
The various reduced funeral Offerings advertised on this Site, and any other funeral-related
services and goods are provided by third-party Providers, and not by AFN. These Providers are
not affiliated with or controlled by AFN, but are independent third-parties who have been
identified by AFN as being willing to fulfill the Offerings at the listed price in a specific
geographic market, and who are also willing to provide through the Site their current price lists
for funeral-related services and goods. All purchases of any Offerings or other funeral-related
services and/or goods involves a separate transaction and contract between You and the Provider.
Accordingly, the Providers are solely responsible to You for the care, quality, and delivery of the
goods and services offered, purchased, and provided.
The listings on this Site are not an offer to sell services or goods, rather, they are advertisements
to receive offers from You to buy services and/or goods from the third-party Providers. By
placing an order, You are making an offer to buy those services and/or goods, which the Provider
must accept in the form and manner it deems fit. There is no binding contract for sale until such
time as You reach such a contract with the applicable third-party Provider subject to Your offer.
All prices advertised on the Site are subject to change, and we or the applicable third-party
Provider may have to communicate price changes or availability issues to You after You place
No Endorsement or Guarantee By AFN:
AFN does not make any endorsement of any of the third-party Providers who participate in the
AFN network or with whom You may be put in contact with through this Site, nor does AFN
make any guarantee, representation, or warranty about the quality of such Providers’ services or
goods. All Providers are only included in the AFN network based on their willingness to fulfill
the advertised Offerings at the listed prices, to provide their current price lists for all funeral
services and goods, and to fulfill any other funeral-related services and goods which Users may
seek to buy from them. Your dealings with any Provider with whom You are connected through
the AFN network, and any contracts or other terms, conditions, representations, or warranties
associated with such dealings, are solely between You and such Provider exclusively and do not
involve AFN in any way. It is up to You to make whatever investigations, research or inquiries
about such Provider that You deem necessary or appropriate before engaging such Provider or
buying any Offering or other services or goods from them.
Information About Offerings and Other Provider Services or Goods:
AFN’s Site displays and provides content, such as information about the Offerings and
Providers, including individual Provider price lists and required written disclosures, that is not
created or developed by AFN. We are not responsible for typographical, technical, or
descriptive errors of Offerings or other services or goods included on the Site, or for any errors in
the price lists of any third-party Providers. We reserve the right to correct errors or to update
Offerings or other services and goods information at any time without notice. In the event any
Offerings, services, and/or goods are listed at an incorrect price or with incorrect information due
to typographical error or error in pricing or services/goods information, AFN, at its sole
discretion, shall have the right to either (i) give You notice of the error and allow You the
opportunity to proceed with your transaction with the Provider at the corrected price; or (ii)
refuse or cancel any offer or request by You placed at the incorrect price listing.
AFN attempts to have descriptions of the Offerings, other services and goods, and the Providers,
listed on the Site as accurately as possible. However, AFN makes no guarantees with respect to
the accuracy, completeness, reliability, or currency of this information or other Site content. The
information contained in this Site is subject to change without notice.
AFN only charges You a service fee in connection with Your use of the Site and the referral
services provided to You. AFN’s current fees are listed on the Site. Our fees are subject to
change at any time, and any changes in these fees will be posted on the Site. Once You have
provided the necessary information concerning the location where You wish to have services and
goods provided, we will provide You access to the applicable Provider’s General Price List
information, and once You have paid AFN’s fee, we will put you in contact with the applicable
Provider for Your area. Once AFN has connected You and the Provider, AFN has no other role
or responsibility with the transaction between You and the Provider. You are not required to go
forward with any transaction with the Provider You are connected with through the Site. While
AFN collects and processes a service fee on Your behalf, AFN is at all times at most merely an
intermediary between You and the applicable Provider with whom You may contract. Further,
You are responsible for paying for any Offering or other services or goods You purchase from
the Provider, including any applicable local, state, federal or other taxes.
General Price Lists and Other Communications By Providers:
As a customer or potential customer of funeral-related goods and services, You have certain
rights as set forth in the Federal Trade Commission’s Funeral Rule, 16 C.F.R. §§ 453.1 et seq.
This includes the right to view the third-party provider’s itemized General Price List “GPL”
identifying the individual costs for each good or service it offers before purchasing any Offering
or other goods or services, and the right to receive certain written disclosures depending on Your
geographic location. Through the Site, AFN provides you access to the GPL of the applicable
Provider for Your service area. You must provide AFN with the correct geographic area
information for the location You seek goods and services in to receive access to the appropriate
Provider’s GPL and disclosures. Further, You acknowledge and agree that AFN did not create
or develop the GPL’s or written disclosures of the various Providers and is not responsible for
the content of such GPL’s or written disclosures, including the accuracy of the GPL’s or written
disclosures, whether such information is current and up-to-date. You further acknowledge and
agree that the respective Providers are solely responsible for the content of their respective
GPL’s and written disclosures, including their accuracy and effective dates.
It is the sole responsibility of each Provider to ensure that any and all information they provide
through the Site and otherwise provide to Users is accurate, current and fully complies with all
applicable laws, regulations and rules, including those concerning the funeral industry. It is also
the sole responsibility of each Provider to inform You of any substitution of any product or
service such Provider offers or provides in connection with Provider’s participation in the AFN
Network, and each Provider is solely responsible for making such a substitution only upon
express agreement with You to such substitution.
Sole Remedy For Inaccurate Information or Choosing Not to Consummate Transaction:
Your sole remedy from AFN is limited to seeking a refund of the service fee paid to AFN in
accordance with the terms of our Refund Policy, which is incorporated herein and made a part of
this contract, if: (i) an Offering, or other services or goods You offer to purchase through AFN’s
Site, which is accepted and provided by one of the Providers, is not as described on AFN’s Site,
or (ii) You choose not to consummate any transaction with the identified Provider once we have
provided their information to You. The return of service fee is subject to AFN’s discretion.
