Thank you for choosing CZ Estate for your Second Life home. Buying one our tropical/island themed parcels indicates that you have read and agree to the following:

  1. These regions are strictly residential with structures no more than 20 meters high in total. Sky boxes must be placed at 300m or higher. Structures must be a minimum of 4m from any lot line, and must not block waterways in any way. Additional build information is located below.
  2. These sims have a Mature rating. This rating comes with the premise that it is to be considered a family area with mature content to be kept in the confines of ones home.
  3. We do not allow stores, billboards or signs and no commercial ventures of any kind, including property rentals.
  4. Homes and other structures must be kept within the boundaries of ones own land.
  5. Landscaping must not hang over, or otherwise encroach, on a neighbor's property. This includes "grass" platforms that extend to the edge of the land. Remember, these are tropical islands. If you are inclined to have a "lawn", platforms above 300m are acceptable.
  6. All terraforming must be approved by management.
  7. Waterways must be left intact and clear for residential boating use.
  8. Land parcels must not be divided or joined, and may only be resold as a complete plot.
  9. There are to be no sandboxes.
  10. These are resort communities, please keep the architecture and landscaping in tune with the area. Estate Management will have final say in any disputes. I.E., no castles, treehouses, gor'ish structures or anything else not in tune with a resort community. These structures are allowed above 300m however.
  11. Please be considerate of your neighbors when using scripts or scripted objects, management reserves the right to insist on any script or scripted object be removed.
  12. Only approved security scripts are allowed. If you have a concern, please consult with management about placing any offenders on the Estate ban list. Please only use Access bans as a temporary measure, and talk to us about other solutions. There should be no security fences on any property. This is a free flying environment and all air and waterways MUST be left open for everyone's enjoyment. Ban lines constitute immediate reclaim of property to be returned to the owner for a L$2500 fee. More information on the FAQ page.
  13. These regions are to be a safe place to live and play; no harassment, stalking, littering or other anti-social behavior.
  14. You are responsible for the behavior of any guests that you invite to the region.
  15. These are not combat regions, therefore combat is prohibited. Please leave your parcel set to 'Safe (no damage)', and no pushing.

Additional covenant information for Homestead Sims:

  • Land terraforming is allowed up to -6m or +14m within the existing island mass.
  • Terraforming must be a minimum of 80m from the edge of the sim
  • Auto return must be turned off, as the sim is still considered to be a public sailing area.

Additional Information

NOTE: ALL LAND SALES ARE FINAL WHEN THE PURCHASE IS MADE AND $L HAVE BEEN PAID. NO EXCEPTIONS & NO REFUNDS. BE CERTAIN YOU ARE BUYING THE LAND THAT YOU WANT.

Monthly land tier fee must be paid via PayPal directly to us from the Residential Tier or Homestead Tier page within 24 hours of land purchase or the land will be reclaimed with no refund provided.

Please notify management of any land transactions.

The theme of all CZ Estate sims is tropical beach/resort life. Please check with other residents, or management as to what build type is acceptable. Builds should be classified by all residents as tropical, beach or resort style homes. (ie: no castles, high rises, gothic or gorean type structures, tree houses, etc.)

If you are purchasing a home and are unsure if it fits within the covenant, feel free to IM management.

Any build or structure placed above 300 meters is exempt from the covenant guidelines, as it is the ground view that is protected.

This covenant constitutes a contact between you and CZ Estate. By becoming a resident on a private sim owned by CZ Estate, you agree to abide by the terms of the contract.

Breaking these terms, or the TOS of Second Life, constitutes a breach of contract. This may lead to the termination of the contract. Termination of contract because of a violation of the covenant becomes effective immediately. There are no refunds in this case. Depending on the violation you may be banned from CZ Estate sims.

CZ Estate Management reserves the right to evict or reclaim land for non-compliance or non-payment with no refund given.

These conditions may be added to, or amended by Management at any time without prior notice. Tier rates can be adjusted at any time however, we will commit to a 2 week notice prior to any upcoming increase in tier.

Zane Kleene reserves the final word on any dispute.

Security Policy

Many residents wish to secure their land from unwanted visitors, so we've been evaluating several security options. Please keep in mind the following before we outline the revised policy:

1. Security in general in SL leaves a lot to be desired. Just because your land "seems" secure, people can still use their camera and zoom around your land.

2. CZ Estates has open airways and waterways. One of the things that is most important to us is that all residents have access to airways (planes, hang gliding, etc) and waterways (sailing, jetskiing, etc). Therefore they must remain open, meaning that you may only use a security device to secure your home.

3. You can ban residents. This seems obvious but some aren't aware of this. You can ban certain residents from your land through World > About Land > Access tab. You can ban people by hitting "Add" under the Banned Residents area. We can also ban residents from the sim you're on as well as all the CZ Estates sims.

Normal security orbs are of little use because they protect a radius instead of a square that most homes have. We're recommending that those who wish to protect their homes to use a security system called hippoSECURE which is available at our office for 650L$

The setup instructions are at http://www.hippo-technologies.co.uk/resources/hipposecure/hipposecure.php. The only mode we approve of is protecting the rectangular area of your house, not outside of it. This is explained in section 1.1.1 and will show you how to protect the height/width/length of the house only.

Once this is setup, please IM one of the managers for final approval. If you have any questions please let us know.
