Imagine: *put dreamy music on* Once upon a time, in a metaverse far away which was rumoured to be ‘First Life’ a handsome prince wanted to visit a beautiful kajira in the neighbouring world called ‘Second Life’. He went to the Evil Dominatrix to ask her for guidance. The Evil Dominatrix told the friendly young man that if he really wished to find his princess he should download and install the Second Life Client. And so our charming prince did.

All went well, until suddenly he had to press a button with a text that said: ‘Welcome to Second Life! The following agreement (this “Agreement” or the “Terms of Service”) describes the terms on which Linden Research, Inc. (”Linden Lab”) offers you access to its services. This offer is conditioned on your agreement to all of the terms and conditions contained in the Terms of Service, including your compliance with the policies and terms linked to (by way of the provided URLs) from this Agreement. By using Second Life, you agree to these Terms of Service. If you do not so agree, you should decline this agreement, in which case you are prohibited from accessing or using Second Life. Linden Lab may amend this Agreement at any time in its sole discretion, effective upon posting the amended Agreement at the domain or subdomains of http://secondlife.com where the prior version of this Agreement was posted, or by communicating these changes through any written contact method we have established with you.

This was Vint Falken, reading for you the first part of our Creepy Bedtime Fairytales: the Second Life Tos. I hope you will have a good night’s rest, and if you want to know about the stuff prince charming unwillingly agreed upon so he would be able to travel into Second Life and find his lovely kajira, tune in again next week for Vint Falken reading Creepy Bedtime Fairytales: the Second Life ToS (part 2).
