General Terms and Conditions

for Bulido – Second Life Money Service

(Effective November 2007)

1. General information
The company Crafty Studios Game Development GmbH, domiciled in Pöttsching (“Company”), operates a website (“Internet Site”) at “www.bulido.com”. The mailing address of the Company is Lichtenwörthergasse 112a, A-7033 Pöttsching / Austria. To fullfil the operational cause of the website the company utilises various payment partners. Those have their own security terms and terms of service of their own, which also apply on using a specific payment method

2. Use of the Internet Site / purpose of the agreement
(1) Among other things, the Company offers customers means of payment (“Customers”) to purchase virtual play money in the form of “Linden Dollars” (“play money”) via the Internet Site. The purchase of the play money via the Internet Site is referred to as a “transaction”. The Customer can use the play money via the Internet for the online game “Second Life” in accordance with the applicable terms.

(2) The Customer first enters the desired amount for the purchase of play money on the Internet Site. The Company then converts the amount into play money on the basis of the rate which is set by the Company (“Exchange Rate”). The Exchange Rate and the resulting amount in play money are displayed to the Customer on the Internet Site and confirmed by the Customer by advancing to the next transaction step.

(3) The play money is paid out to the Customer by transfer from the existing account of the Company at Second Life (“Master Account”) to the account of the Customer which also exists at Second Life (“Customer Account”), and the Customer must provide the information regarding the Customer Account, which is required to carry out the transfer, to the Company.

3. Data input / payment terms
(1) The required data, which the Customer must enter on the Internet Site for purposes of the transfer from the Master Account to the Customer Account, must be complete and accurate. The Company guarantees the transfer of the play money in the displayed amount, subject to display and typographical errors, as long as this is technically feasible and insofar as the Customer has provided correct and complete information. The reversal or cancellation of the transaction is excluded. Transactions are usually  - as long as Second Life is technically reachable without problems - fulfilled within 15 Minutes, but at the most within 3 working days.

(2) The current Exchange Rate for the play money is EUR 1.00 per Linden Dollars 302.00. The Company may change and reset the Exchange Rate at any time without giving a reason. Every transaction is subject only to the Exchange Rate which is displayed on the Internet Site at the beginning of the transaction. The Exchange Rate for the play money which is set by Second Life or other providers has no effect on and is independent of the Exchange Rate the Company has set. Claims of the Customer against the Company due to varying Exchange Rates are excluded.

(3) To fulfill transactions, it is necessary for first time customers to automatically transmit certain informations from within Second Life (e.g. "click on a terminal"). After successful payment completion the customer is eventually informed about this missing data by displayed text and email (if applicable). Should this data be missing for some time, the company will try to contact the customer via "Ingame-Message" in Second Life or Email (if applicable). If the customer doesn't provide his data and doesn't get in touch with the company, the claim on the play money is void 30 days after payment end. If the customer is in touch with the company, the claim lengthens to 30 days after the last contact.

4. Notice on the use of data
(1) The protection of the Customer’s privacy in processing personal data is a priority for the Company.

6. Infringement of third party rights
(1) If there are legal grounds for discontinuing the use of individual domains/projects on the Internet Site, the Company asks the respective Customer or visitor to the Internet Site to refrain from issuing a warning notice and send a notice (for example via e-mail) directly to the Company. The necessary steps, if any, will then be taken by the Company.

(2) The Company has unlimited liability for damage the Company or its legal representatives and vicarious agents cause by intent or gross negligence.

(3) Other than the scope of liability specified in the preceding sub-paragraph (2), the Company is liable only for damage the Company or its legal representatives and vicarious agents cause by culpable violation of a material contractual obligation (primary contractual obligation) in a manner which jeopardizes the achievement of the purpose of the agreement (see Section 2).

(4) In the event of the preceding sub-paragraph (3), the liability of the Company is limited to such damage or extent of damage which the contracting parties could typically expect to occur or arise at the conclusion of the agreement based on the circumstances which were known to them at that time.

(5) In the event of the preceding sub-paragraph (3) the Company is not liable for indirect damage, consequential damage or lost profit.

(9) If this Internet Site refers by hypertext link (“hyperlink”) to other Internet sites, which are operated by third parties, neither the Company nor the Service Provider assume responsibility for their contents because the Company and the Service Provider are unable to control, originate or otherwise affect the contents of these external Internet sites.
