Terms of Service

If you bought a SHiNYbrand product, added Rez has a friend, sent him an unsolicited notecard or IM, or if he just told you to visit this site, then you may want to read the following Terms of Service that you just agreed to!

Last Updated March/9/2011
By sending a notecard, or friend request, you are agreeing to the Rez Gray / SHiNYbrand Terms of Service.  While not legally binding, it is more of a heads-up on what to expect. You might not see this ToS until it’s too late, but you are still ‘warned’.
If you did not see the ToS mention at the top of Rez Gray’s or any SHiNYbrand Operator’s Profile, then you were not paying attention, and it’s all your fault.

 

“Rez Gray’s [Product Discontinued by Executive Order] not only got rid
of those virtual chickens wandering into my yard, but it also saved me
hours of yard work by turning my grass and shrubbery into boiling
magma, after it cooled, he loaned me the steamroller I needed to turn
it into a giant parking lot for all my cars! Thanks, Rez!”

Product Terms of Service

Warranties
SHiNYbrand products come with the following lifetime warranties…

  1. If LL breaks it, I will endeavor to fix it.
  2. If YOU break it, and can show proof you have it, I will replace it.
  3. If I (Rez Gray) break it, I will endeavor to fix it.

Finality of Sales
All catalog (ie, non-custom made) products are, at the least, COPY-permissive, and are usually  non-transferable.
Since you cannot return the product to me, I cannot refund your money. It is that simple.
In case you’re not able to infer, ALL SALES FINALE – NO REFUNDS.

No, just NO, seriously…

I WILL NOT GIVE YOUR ALT A COPY.
I WILL NOT REPLACE AN ITEM YOU LOST BECAUSE YOUR WERE BANNED FROM SECONDLIFE
I WILL NOT REFUND YOU MONEY BECAUSE YOU DIDN’T READ THE MANUAL, AND COULD NOT FIGURE OUT HOW TO USE YOUR PURCHASE.

 

“After befriending Rez Gray,  I accidentally Mass TP’d
him to my cousin’s Fallout-themed wedding. Rez landed
and shot the groom, punched out the maid of honor, and
stole the bride. If I had not been the wedding planner, I’d
say it was the best wedding ever! Thanks Rez!”

Social Contact Terms and Conditions

By adding Rez Gray to your contacts,  or sending him a notecard, you accept the following terms and conditions.
1. You may be subject to random hugs, pokes, grins, gropes, and other forms of friendly harassment at any time.
2. You may be subject to ‘all contacts’ conferences when Rez is too lazy to IM people one by one .
3. If you send Rez a teleport without prior conversation or information regarding the teleport.
Rez reserves the right to accept this teleport and appear before you naked, heavily armed, dressed in random costumes, or any combination thereof.  You do not have the grounds to argue with this.
4. You may, on occasion, be part of a one-sided conversation w/ Rez. Don’t worry about this, it’s normal.
5. Rez might be online, but unable to respond. He further completely understands if it takes time for replies.
6. Please disregard any ‘ideas’ or ‘input’ Rez has after approx. 10pm SLT. It’s just best for all of us. (This is called the 3am rule, It now starts at midnight CST.)

Unsolicited Retail Space Offerings

If you send Rez Gray or any SHiNYbrand Operator a notecard regarding retail space (ie, your ‘mall’ or ‘shopping area’),
you may be subject to:

  • Unsolicited Feedback Regarding Your Retail Space
  • Requests for Special Accommodation
  • Harassment as stated in Social Contact Terms and Conditions.

The owner of the land or proprietor of the land may also get the above, with your name attached.

Unsolicited Group Offerings

You may be subject to random conversation topics, off-topic announcements, etc.
The INVITER will be subject to the Social Contacts Terms and Conditions.

Interaction w/ Military and Law Enforcement Enthusiasts

I do not provide free stuff to milthusiast groups. You will pay in L$ or technological exchange, or free rent.
I may accept offers to ‘hang out’ with your milthusiast group, but I generally do not join them (it always ends badly).
I may join your group during a period of custom scripting/development.
Rez Gray does not like spending time in damage-enabled sims, and may be liable to shoot anyone that looks at him funny.

Rent-Free Retail Space in Exchange For Free Stuff

In some instances, SHiNYbrand might be willing to enter into a trade were the sim is provided free stuff in exchange for preferred-placement Retail Space. (i.e., you get radios and hovercraft, I get a mall slot in the landing zone.)

Please notify Admins, Land Managers, and Builders that:

  • SHiNYbrand’s retail placement is RENT FREE in the sim. Forever.
  • SHiNYbrand Operatives are not expected to wear combat meters unless actively RPing.
  • SHiNYbrand Operatives may, on occasion, rez vehicles or devices for active beta testing
    on locals, with or without consent.
  • If the sim features any kind of ad rotation (ie, billboards), SHiNYbrand gets a slot.
  • SHiNYbrand-provided equipment may stop working if the retail placement is returned or deleted.
    Usually this is a mistake. And a reasonable time will be allowed for it to be replaced before all services and devices are disabled.
  • There will be no ‘cost offset’ or ‘balance of cost’ discussion. The price of the stuff you are bargaining for will always work out to less than recurring rental fees.
