All Residents and Visitors,
- Please respect the privacy of others. The HMI Estates are to be a
safe place to live and play, so please no harassment, stalking,
littering or other anti-social behavior.
- HMI Management reserves the right to insist on any script, object or scripted object being removed.
-Breedable Animals, including (but not limited to) Chickens, Bunnies and Horses (AI scripted / Physical pets) and
associated accessory items are not permitted on any of our shared
regions due to lag inducing high script times and collision
calculations slowing the sim. Animal farming is not permitted on shared
regions.
- If we find a script or colliding object to be way too heavy for the
Estates performance, we will return that scripted item back to you.
-Group abilities are the responsibility of the lease holder. While you
are leasing a parcel from HMI Estates you may deed the land to your
group, however HMI will not be responsible for any losses to you or
your members If the land is inadvertently or intentionally resold or
misused by a group member to whom you have given this ability to in
Group/Members/Roles (Parcel Management). Please choose your groups
abilities wisely. Please notify HMI Estates (Loco Mycron or Dino
Hallard) immediately should any problems occur.
Using
the "Buy Land" button confirms that you have read this covenant in full
and agree to all terms and conditions. Please understand that as owners
of this Estate we reserve the right to make any changes we see fit at
any time. This includes changes to the region itself, this covenant,
land pricing and fees. Except for in "emergency" situations, you will
be notified before such changes take place.
The contract may be
terminated if you violate the Terms of Service (TOS) for Second Life or
violate the terms of this covenant. We try to first remind residents of
the rules politely and/or issue a warning. If the problem is not
remedied, we will take further action that might include temporarily
reclaiming the land to remove ban lines, security scripts, buildings,
pornographic, offensive or discriminative textures/images. Violations
of TOS, Community Standards or severe violations of the covenant may
result in termination of contract with no warning, and banning from HMI
Island Estates.
