THE OTHERLAND FINE PRINT (Rev. 20080411)

Should you decide to become an OTHERLAND resident by making your first monthly payment for a parcel THE OTHERLAND GROUP owns, you are entering a contract between you and THE OTHERLAND GROUP. This contract is defined by THE OTHERLAND COVENANT (a separate document) and this “fine print”.

1. All deals are final. When you make the monthly payment for your parcel, you are entering a contract that runs for at least 30 days. This contract ends when this time period ends and no new monthly payment is made, or, when you decide to cancel the contract.
2. The contract terminates automatically (with no entitlement for a refund) if you violate the rules in this document, THE OTHERLAND COVENANT or the ToS of Second Life.
   
   
3. When you enter the contract with THE OTHERLAND GROUP, you agree to make certain periodic payments. The height of these payments is determined at the time you enter the contract and is fixed for the duration of the contract. THE OTHERLAND GROUP reserves the right to change the height of the necessary payments at any time (becoming effective when the next payment is due). We will only do this when circumstances outside of our control will force us to do so (changes in the payments we have to make to Linden Lab, for example or exchange rate changes), but this might happen. You have the right to terminate your contract with in this case.
4. The current payment plans can always be checked on the website of THE OTHERLAND GROUP at http://www.otherland-group.com.
   
   
5. The duration of a contract is 30 days. It is automatically prolonged if not cancelled before the next payment is due.
6. The contract enters a state of probation, if you default on a monthly payment. It does not matter how much you pay as long as it is not enough to cover the full sum that is due for the next period.
7. After entering the state of probation, you have five days to make the payment. If full payment is not received after this time, the contract terminates automatically and the land is reclaimed by THE OTHERLAND GROUP.
   
   
8. The termination of the contract, either automatically or willfully before the next payment is due, does not entitle the customer to any kind of a refund.
   
   Only in the following cases, there will be a refund paid:
   
   (a) If the contract is cancelled by the OTHERLAND Group (but not when this cancellation was caused by a violation of this fine print, THE OTHERLAND COVENANT or the Second Life ToS), the customer will receive a full refund and the land falls back into the ownership of THE OTHERLAND GROUP.
   
   (b) If this fine print, THE OTHERLAND COVENANT or the Second Life ToS is changed or the fees, which are due monthly, are raised, the customer has the right to cancel the contract. If this option is chosen, the customer will receive a full refund and the land falls back into the ownership of THE OTHERLAND GROUP.
   
   If the customer cancels the contract normally, the customer can ask THE OTHERLAND GROUP to make an offer to buy back the land. THE OTHERLAND GROUP will make an offer, to buy the land at a price which will not be lower than 75% of the intial price to the customer or 75% of the current list price (whichever is lowest). The OTHERLAND GROUP reserves the right, to make a lower offer, should Linden Lab change the prices, at which land is sold or leased in the form of servers (sims) by more than 20% between the time the customer has bought the land and the moment of the offer.
   
   
   
9. You have the right, to sell land that you bought on The OTHERLAND ESTATE to another resident of Second Life which is "in good standing" with Linden Lab (i.e. has a clean rep sheet). We will assist you in the transfer of your rights as an OTHERLAND resident to this other resident. Selling of land is not possible with Rent Only contracts.
10. All negotiations with other residents regarding price and other proceedings are of no relevance to THE OTHERLAND GROUP, though. We will transfer the rights (especially: deed a specified parcel to the land holding group of another resident) no sooner than we have received your agreement and the receipt from PayPal, confirming that the new owner has entered a subscription appropriate for this parcel.
    
    
11. THE OTHERLAND GROUP reserves the right to decline to enter a contract with any resident without stating a reason for this decision. Don't worry, this does not mean you. We usually only do this with avatars who are known troublemakers, have defaulted their payments in the past etc.
    
    
12. THE OTHERLAND GROUP does not make any guarantees regarding the state of the land offered to you or its usefulness for any intended purpose. We provide this land “as is”, as it is delivered to us by Linden Lab, actually.
13. Should some officially announced, unannounced or unforeseeable event lead to a state where the sim(s) which contain the parcels that you have paid for, are inaccessible to you, we will see that access is restored as fast as possible. We can not accept any responsibility for times of inaccessibility caused by third parties (i.e. other residents or Linden Lab).
14. We will proceed with all due speed (and caution) to remove the causes for the state of inaccessibility, should it be in our power to do so. There will be no refunds for times of inaccessibility with the sole exception of cases, where Linden Lab will reimburse us, THE OTHERLAND GROUP, for a longer period of inaccessibility.
