Policy
Updates & Service
While all our items are tested fully before release in Second Life®, we cannot guarantee that any future changes that are made to the Second Life® world will allow our items to continue to work as they should. By using our items, you agree that you are aware of current changes affecting the Second Life® "grid", and any issues that may or may not affect our items. No refunds will be given for items damaged by Linden Lab®, (although we may seek to update your item). You may email any changes you feel have effected our items to the email address in the creators profile.
Common Sense
By purchasing an item from Space Bums, you agree that you are competent enough to navigate the Second Life® virtual environment and client. We support our items directly, but we will ignore messages from people asking us to help them navigate the most basic functionality of Second Life® or its desktop client software.
You are expected to be competent enough to:
- Open boxes,
- transfer items from your inventory to the contents of objects and vice-versa,
- search your inventory for “Recent Items",
- read note cards, profile information, on-screen text, web links, or other information resources provided,
- control Second Life® to basic requirements explained during your "Orientation Island" sessions,
- check your transaction history,
- send and receive emails, instant messages, group chat,
- view the Second Life® blog for any outstanding issues affecting residents.
Lost Inventory
If you believe that an item or items may be missing from your inventory, please read fully the instructions detailed on the Second Life wiki before contacting us for support.
Permissions
When you make a purchase with Space Bums, the purchase price permits you to use our content in the Second Life® grid only. Many of the items you see for sale in Second Life® have a "Next Owner" permission flag. You agree that upon purchase of our items, that you will be limited in your ability to use these items as defined under these permissions. Sometimes you will see items sold as "MOD, COPY, TRANSFER" enabled. For a detailed guide on what these permissions mean, please press F1 from within your Second Life® client for the latest most up-to-date information on using your Second Life® client software. It is your responsibility to understand what permissions mean prior to any purchase of our items, as, in some cases, no refunds will be given for non-transferable items. Space Bums will not perform a transfer of use of items to your friends or alternate avatars. Next owner permissions of listed items will not be modified after purchase. We will ignore requests from residents requesting a change of asset permissions after purchase.
Usage & Misuse Of Items
Space Bums reserve the right to remove your avatar key from future updates of our items or totally remove your ability to use a currently owned item, if we have evidence that you have not complied with our usage terms. This measure will only normally be enforced when a user tries to circumvent the permission system of Second Life® to clone or replicate one of our items, or in cases where a Space Bums item is being used to consistently harass another resident or limit their Second Life® experience.
Access to Updates
By purchasing our products from us, you acknowledge that your access to future updates, including any modifications or enhancements made thereto, is subject to our discretion. We reserve the right to restrict or terminate access to our update servers at any time, without prior notice nor liability.
In the event that our content creation account with Linden Lab is deactivated or removed, or our update server is discontinued or relocated, you may not be able to receive updates for your purchased items. In such cases, we will not be able to provide refunds or compensation of any kind.
Please note, that your purchase payment is only valid for the specific product version number at the time of purchase, and this does not entitle you to access future versions or modifications thereto. If your access to our update servers is revoked or becomes unavailable, and you wish to utilize a later version of an item you have purchased in the past, you may be required to acquire a new copy of the item.
By making a purchase from us, you understand that these terms and conditions apply to your use of our products and updates. We reserve the right to modify or update these terms at any time without prior notice.
Freebie Items & Support
Sometimes we make items available for Second Life® residents free of charge. These are colloquially known as "freebies". These items may be older or deprecated items that we no longer support.
We do not offer support for items that we give away freely. They are provided to residents as a good faith gesture "as is".
We are under no obligation to make adjustments, edits nor updates to any item asset data, marketing material nor any documentation pertaining to said item/items. We will ignore complaints, demands or support requests from residents regarding freebie items. Since a resident obtained the item from us freely, if they experience any issues with the item or documentation or the item is not to their expectations - they are free to delete it from their inventory and/or not use it.
Gift Coupons
Unfortunately, we do not exchange coupons for Linden dollars. Coupons may come free with our items and entitle you to a single random gift. You may transfer your coupon to a friend to use if you wish. To successfully use your coupon, you must first teleport to our in-world shop and wear it. Once a coupon has been used, it will turn the colour red and cannot be used again. Simply delete any used coupons from your inventory.
