Terms of Service
----------------
June 2, 2023
Please read this short Terms of Service before using this grid.
Please note that this is an Adult rated grid.
It is not recommended to build above 10000 meters do to glitches at that height.
(Objects above 10000 meters that are moved drop down to 10000 meters.)
RULES
-----
1. No public nudity or public sex. Exception: Nudity and sex is allowed in a parcel if it is clearly marked, such as being marked as a nude beach or X rated theater, however such parcels must always have the "Visibility restriction" turned on or have the area where sex and/or nudity is allowed closed off from view, for example closing it off with walls. Users must also comply with the rules of the parcel owner. (For example it may be a nude beach where the parcel owner does not allow sex. If it is a nude beach and it does NOT say sex is allowed, then it is not allowed.) Closed off from view in your personal home sex and nudity is OK. Nudity (but not necessarily sex) is OK in changing rooms, locker rooms, bathrooms, exam rooms, massage rooms, or any such room where nudity is generally acceptable in real life. Note: Child Avatars (Avatars that look like they are under 18) are not allowed to have sex or enter an X rated area (nude beach is OK if sex is not allowed in it, X rated theater is NOT OK). No sex in front of child avatars.
2. No hacking: This means circumventing the restrictions in place on the world by using a hack. This includes using a special viewer that gives you abilities you are not supposed to have. If you are using Firestorm and you are not trying to crack into stuff you are fine. Other viewer are also allowed as long as they are not made to hack/crack or show information that is meant to be restricted.
3. No griefing or spamming: This goes along with the No hacking. Don't harass other users. This is especially true in the sandboxes. This includes putting an object over a user so they are trapped, sending excessive messages to a user with the intent to annoy them. And sending them unsolicited ads. Basically just be respectful.
4. Killing: This is a damage enabled grid. Weapons and killing are allowed. Role playing as a robber or a murderer is OK. What is NOT OK is for example you kill the user and right after they telaport back in or near the area and you kill them again. So basically do not use the ability to kill as an excuses to harass other users. (Note: Any time you are killed you are just telaported back to your home location, that is how damage enabled sims work. You die when you are injured enough for your health to drop down to 0%.)
5. If you are given an OAR (Region backup) or IAR (inventory backup) from this grid, you agree to not modify the file to give yourself permission on items that the creator of those items did not allow on the item, or to change the creator of the items. For example: You modify the IAR file so that you have transfer and modify permission on an object that was created by someone else other then you. DON'T DO THAT. You also agree not to use this to circumvent item transfer restrictions (for example by hacking or editing the file). You also agree to keep the file secure and not let anyone else have a copy of it, unless you are explicitly granted permission to share it.
6. No intellectual property theft: You must follow all international copyright laws. For example If a script is created by someone other then you and you don't have permission to use the code in your build, DON'T. If the creator does give you permission to use it be sure to give the creator credit. In some situations you might be able to use a creators code without giving credit. Be sure to refer to the terms the creator provides. If there are no terms then the item is copyrighted by the creator on the date they created it in accordance with international copyright law (unless the copyright has expired). Exception: Copyright can expire and change hands. When a copyright expires it becomes public domain and anyone is allowed to freely use it, this does not happen until long after the author dies. Anything in international copyright law that conflicts with this rule overrides it. If you see an item that you created that someone stole (intellectual property theft) please report it.
7. Changes to TOS: The owner of this grid reserves the right to change the Terms of Service at any time.
Note that violating these rules could get your Avatar banned from the grid.
Please be respectful of other players.
Note: When being given permission is mentioned in the rules, verbally being told that you have permission does not count. It must be verifiable!
Any violations of these rules can be reported to the owner of the grid Jacob81 Admin. All administrators of this grid have the last name Admin.
Thank you.
