Hi All,
I'm contacting an agent work for Westminster Memorial Park (owned by SCI) and right at the fist page of the agreement, there's something I don't agree with their cut and dry template:
1) Purchaser agrees that all rights conveyed under this Agreement are subject to and Purchaser agrees to at all times comply with the present rules, regulations, and bylaws of Seller on file and subject to examination in its office and as may be hereinafter adopted, amended or altered.
2) NOTICE: BY SIGNING THIS AGREEMENT, PURCHASER IS AGREEING THAT ANY CLAIM PURCHASER MAY HAVE AGAINST THE SELLER SHALL BE RESOLVED BY ARBITRATION AND PURCHASER IS GIVING UP HIS/HER RIGHT TO A COURT OR JURY TRIAL AS WELL AS HIS/HER RIGHT OF APPEAL. (sorry I copied and pasted their uppercase wordings).
That's just the first page.
See this case in 2019 where his mom's plot was used to bury another person:

So if I sign the agreement, I can't bring them to the court in case something wrong happen?
Should I proceed to sign this template? I see the bottom of the form is FORM 602-CA REV. (09/19) but I can't seem to find it online. I think it's by SCI/Wesminster Memorial Park form and not created by the State of California.
Thanks.

Sounds like a typical language from SCI. This family sued SCI 5 times and yet still lost the case because of that phrase:
