'Second Life' Terms Of Service


2.1  A resident of Sambiglyon's Second Life land rental service must ensure that the time remaining on their rental box is kept in credit. Allowing the box to run into arrears risks termination of the rental agreement and eviction. In the case of eviction all items on the land and that are owned by the resident will be returned to them.

2.2  A resident may place any item on their rented land that is not of of an offensive nature to other residents. Any material that is deemed inappropriate by the Island Management will be removed.

2.3  A resident must not exceed the prim allowance that their land is allocated. If additional object components (commonly referred to as 'prims') over and above the allowance are required by the resident then additional land can be rented if it is available.

If a resident exceeds their prim placement allowance then they will be contacted by the Island Management and politely requested to rent additional land if available or bring their prim usage beneath the level of their present allowance. If the resident does not respond to this request and subsequent reminders then the Management reserves the right to take action to return selected objects to the resident in order to bring the prim usage of that land down to its permitted level.

2.4  If the resident experiences disruptive actions caused by another avatar - often referred to as 'Griefing' - then the resident should report the full name of that avatar to the Island Management. Avatars that persistently have a disruptive action on other users of the Management's land will be banned from land owned by the Management.

The Management is committed to providing the utmost level of safety and security to its residents and users. Use of weapons, vehicles and any other object or anti-social behavior likely to cause inconvenience and offence to residents and users is strictly prohibited and will result in a permanent ban from Sambiglyon virtual worlds for those found to be participating in such objects or behaviors.

2.5  If a resident initiates disruptive action of a malicious nature against other residents or Island users then their rental agreement will be terminated by the Island Management.

2.6  If somebody is bothering you in Second Life or OpenSim then you can open their profile by left clicking on their name in the chat and then clicking the Mute button on the profile window, followed by the Mute Resident button.

Once a person is muted, do not communicate with them again. If you wish to report that person and request that they are banned for their behaviour, you can save a record of your chat or private Instant Message (IM) conversation by opening the IM window or the local chat window with the 'History' button at the bottom of the Second Life / OpenSim window and then highlighting and copying the text into a word processor.

Send a copy of the text to a responsible adult (such as a parent or teacher) or to Island Management. Alternatively, in Second Life but not in OpenSim, you have the option of clicking the Help menu option at the top of the Second Life window and selecting the 'Report Abuse' option to file an abuse report to Linden Lab, the owners of Second Life.

2.7  In rare and exceptional circumstances the Island Management reserves the right to move residents to an adjacent land plot. If this should be necessary then the Management will undertake all land setup and object moving activities on behalf of the resident.

Notice of 30 days will be given, and if the resident would be preferred to be moved to another vacant area on land managed by the Management then whenever possible this will be achieved. 2.8 Residents should not create or place ('rez') objects outside of the boundaries of their rented land except in designated public sandbox areas.

2.8  Residents are permitted to allow other avatars to share their land and contribute towards the rental fees.

2.9  Residents are permitted to sell objects for profit on their land so long as the items are not of an inappropriate nature that offends other users.

2.10  Residents may not enter locked buildings that do not belong to them by teleportation or other means of entry. If the doors are locked then it is the wish of the owner of that building to keep others out. If a resident requests that you leave their land then that request must be obeyed. If the door is open then it may be assumed that entry is permitted by the owning Resident.

2.11  Residents are encouraged to contact the Island Management by email or instant message at any time if they should have questions / complaints or require assistance of any kind.

2.12  Although the Management will listen to valid arguments from residents if they disagree with the judgement of the Island Management, the Management's decision will be final, as the Management has to think of the good of all the residents rather than that of the individual resident.

2.13  It is the responsibility of residents to check their email boxes and Second Life IM messages for notices from the Island Management. If the registered owner of the rented land is going to be away for more than a week then it is their responsibility to either appoint someone to check their email or send the Island Management an 'out of office' message with details of whom to contact in their absence.

The Management cannot accept responsibility for actions that negatively affect the tenant (example: their land being cleared of buildings and objects placed on it after it has run into significant rent arrears due to non-payment) if no contact has been received from the tenant 2 weeks after a notice was sent to them.

2.14  If the owner company of Second Life, Linden Research Inc, cease operation then we shall not be held liable for financial refunds of remaining tenancy contract time. If, however, the land estates operated by the Management should be terminated by the decision of the Management whilst Linden Research and Second Life are still in operation then the Management shall be liable for financial refunds of the total value of remaining tenancy contract time.

2.15  If we should deem it necessary to close an Island then its tenants will be offered a replacement land space on another Island if available as an alternative to a refund of remaining time on their tenancy contract

2.16  Limitations of Liability: in no event shall Sambiglyon (or its directors, officers, employees and representatives) be legally liable for any damages whatsoever, including lost revenue or profits, or other direct / indirect damage, incurred to the contents of land space leased from Sambiglyon, even if they have been advised of the possibility of such damages.

Sambiglyon does though commit to aid in the restoration from backups of damaged content in partnership with the customer. This agreement is governed by the Laws of England.

2.17  Residents who do not comply with the Sambiglyon Terms of Service within Second Life and OpenSim, including the clauses specific to those platforms, may be reported to the Island Management by other users. If you are experiencing serious problems as a consequence of the behavior of another user, you should use Instant Messaging or email to contact the Community Manager to ask for help.

Users that fail to stay within the boundaries of these rules may be warned or ejected from Sambiglyon services, or in more serious breaches of the Terms of Service, they may experience temporary or permanent suspensions from all Sambiglyon products and services.
