UPDATE TO TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR THE CURRENT REALITY MODEL (DRAFT)
PLEASE READ AND CLICK “ACCEPT” TO PROCEED

Without limitation of the foregoing, we will have the right to check your karma prior to manifestation within the Current Reality Model (“CURRENT REALITY MODEL”), and refuse to allow you to be born/manifested/portalled in if we determine that you are not karma-worthy.
To avoid potential Split Timelines/Quantum entanglement, this Existosphere will accept only one manifestation per entity. If we determine that a single entity has manifested (or attempted to manifest) more than once, or if we receive multiple instantiation applications from a single and/or cluster of forms verified to single entity, we reserve the right to cancel all manifestations and banish said entity to the Outer Darkness.
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
You hereby represent and warrant to us that: (i) you have the full power and authority to enter into and perform under these Terms under the Declaration of Universal Entity Rights and are not doing so on behalf of Timehunters or Rogue Shapelords, (ii) your use of the CURRENT REALITY MODEL will not infringe the rights of any other entity according to same, and (iii) you will comply with all applicable flaws and repulations in manifesting within the CURRENT REALITY MODEL and in engaging in all other activities arising from, relating to or connected with these Terms.

[REGISTRATION]
OBLIGATIONS
If you wish to manifest (an “Instantiate”) or are already an Instantiate and wish to use the “Instantiates Only” Section of this Reality (the “Buorth”), you must create a Liminal Co-body in the Liminality via OpenQNL/Synconjury. In doing so, you agree to: (i) provide true, accurate, current and complete information about yourself as prompted by the CURRENT REALITY MODEL manifesting/birthing/portalling process (such information being the “Registration Data”) and (ii) maintain and promptly update the Registration Data to keep it true, accurate, current and complete.
USER NAMES
Instantiates will also receive one or more User Names upon completing the CURRENT REALITY MODEL’s registration process. User Names are issued based upon availability, and all User Names are our property. Upon termination, you shall surrender such User Name(s) and we may reserve or reissue any User Name in our sole discretion. Multiple users using the same User Name shall not be allowed to access the Buorth simultaneously.
PASSWORD AND SECURITY
Instantiates will receive a “weak” password gesture and an account upon completing the CURRENT REALITY MODEL’s registration process. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of the password gesture and your account and are fully responsible for all activities that occur under your password gesture or account. You agree to: (i) immediately notify us of any unauthorized use of your password gesture or account by Timehunters, or any other breach of security and (ii) ensure that you exit from the Existosphere at the end of each session.

When summoning Metaentities, you may be limited to a specified number of Metaentities for each event (also known as a “Metaentity limit”). This Metaentity limit is set at our sole discretion and the quantity is verified with every transaction. The Metaentity limits can vary by event and/or Instantiateship. We urge you to read the applicable rules, which are linked from the particular activity.
All Metaentity summons are final. There can be no exchanges or refunds after a Metaentity has been contacted or for space/time objects lost, stolen, damaged or destroyed by Metaentities.

The CURRENT REALITY MODEL is based in and operated from the Buorth. Information which you send to us or which we gather from you when you visit our website is held and processed in the Buorth.

These Terms contain the entire understanding of the parties regarding their subject matter, and supersede all prior and contemporaneous agreements and understandings between the parties regarding their subject matter. The Terms and the relationship between you and us shall be governed by the laws of the United Free Realms and the Buorth without regard to any conflict of law provisions. No failure or delay by a party in exercising any right, power or privilege under these Terms shall operate as a waiver thereof. The invalidity or unenforceability of any of these Terms shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other of these Terms, all of which shall remain in full force and effect. You agree that regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action arising out of or related to use of the CURRENT REALITY MODEL or the Terms must be filed within one (1) year after such claim or cause of action arose or be forever barred. The section titles in the Terms are for convenience only and have no legal or contractual effect.
You agree that any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or your use of the CURRENT REALITY MODEL will be submitted to confidential binding arbitration in Cow Hollow, UFR. Arbitration under these Terms will be conducted under the prevailing rules of the Newer Yjorkian Arbitration Association. The arbitrator’s award will be binding and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, no arbitration under these Terms will be joined to an arbitration involving any other party subject to these Terms, whether through class arbitration proceedings or otherwise.
[PRIVACY]
We will have the right to collect, share and use your information in accordance with our Privacy Policy, which does not exist.

Accordingly, we have abolished our Privacy Policy and instead will just be good and respectful.
