Terms and Conditions SL-Messenger - Terms of Service

Welcome to SL-Messenger! By using SL-Messenger (the “Site”), you agree to abide and be bound by these Terms of Service (the “TOS”) and/or any revised version. Any new service available on the Site or any modification of an existing service shall be governed by the TOS, which may be modified or updated from time to time. We strongly encourage you to regularly review the TOS.

The Site is operated by Dokho SARL, 163 av Charles de Gaulle 92200 Neuilly Sur Seine France (“SL-Messenger” or “we”).

I. Description of Service

SL-Messenger provides its users (“You”), for a non-commercial personal use, with a fully-customizable Site enabling you to bind your Second Life community and experience to the Web.

Third-Party Content may be added from the SL-Messenger home page, the SL-Messenger Ecosystem or from the Internet and is provided by professional content providers or other users. You may customize each page of the Site by adding or deleting content and moving and editing each module. The Site also enables you to create, submit and share content (including, but not limited to, blogs, feeds, or iCals.) (“Your Content”).

The use of the Service is free, although third parties may decide to charge a fee for accessing their content in whole or in part.

Each time you access the Site on your computer, or, if you are a registered user, on any computer by using your email address and password, the latest version of your SL-Messenger personalized pages will be displayed as all modifications made to your page are saved in real time.

SL-Messenger does not host Third-Party Content and keeps only technical and personal data in accordance with our privacy policy.

II. Registration and Conduct Important Information

To access and use the Service, you must be legally capable of entering into a binding agreement and acknowledge that some Third-Party Content might be found offensive by some and might not be suitable for individuals under the age of 18. You must also abide by all applicable statutes and regulations in the United Kingdom and, if applicable, in your home country.

You also acknowledge that the activity of creating, submitting or sharing Your Content may give rise to various types of legal liabilities and you represent that Your Content (whether or nor you are the author of said content) complies at all times (both when first submitted and throughout its accessibility on the Site) with the TOS and all applicable laws. You understand that SL-Messenger does not exercise any control over (other than technical if necessary) and does not pre-screen Your Content and Third-Party Content and may not be held liable for their communication to the public. Registration, Email and Password

You need to register to access and use the Service. Your email address must remain valid as long as your SL-Messenger account remains active and it is your responsibility to update it should it no longer be accurate or current. More generally, all personal information communicated to SL-Messenger must always be promptly updated as soon as it stops being true, complete, accurate, or current.

Your password is confidential and you shall not communicate it to any third-party individual or website. You should immediately contact SL-Messenger should you have reason to believe that your password is being used by an unauthorized third party. You shall be liable for all actions taken with your password as well as for any loss or liability consequential to such use. We may cancel your account without notice in the case of any violation of the TOS. Posting and Sharing Content

You may post and share Your Content with the SL-Messenger Community. You understand that you may share Your Content under your sole responsibility and represent that you own all the rights to, or have secured the necessary authorizations for, Your Content. As we do not exercise any control over Third-Party Content, when posting Your Content it is your responsibility to clearly and truly identify its actual or potential nature to ensure its classification in the proper category. This is necessary for the good operation of the Service and in order to protect other users by identifying content that may be explicit or pornographic. You shall verify that Your Content is in compliance with the TOS and, more generally, is not harmful or unlawful. You understand that you may not request any payment from SL-Messenger for posting or sharing content. Conduct of Users
