Tributize Terms of Use

This Statement of Terms and Conditions ("Statement", “STC” or "Terms") is our terms of service that governs our relationship with users and others who interact with Tributize, as well as Tributize brands, products and services, which we call the “Tributize Services” or “Services”.

A quick note about the Free tribute page.

This offer allows your to create a page and test the service completely free of charge, however we may at our discretion remove your tribute page after three months if the user has not paid for the page.

Important: We really care about your content and we run continuous backups on our servers, however we strongly advise you to make a copy of any content that you load onto Tributize.

1. Community Standards

Tributize is a community where people write and share tributes. A tribute is by definition something positive, something good, something nice that you write about someone or something.

We ask that the tributes that you write, the comments that you make about other tributes, and any other communication on or via the Tributize platform, help to maintain this spirit of positive writing.

We reserve the right to edit your content.

If we are made aware of content that is controversial or sensitive then we may remove it or limit the audience that sees it.
