This program apples to residents of The Wastelands, Caledon and New Toulouse. The Grace Period program was designed to help residents avoid having their lands reclaimed when unforeseen circumstances cause issues with paying tier in a timely manner. The origins of the Grace Period program are rooted in the sense of "I've been there too". Our covenants for the estates are guidance for how we operate, and establishes expectations. They are not a super strict to-the-letter-of-the-law documents. Strict covenants leave no wiggle room for unexpected situations. Our homes in Second Life are our virtual homes, and while they are not physical places; if we lose them sometimes it is hard to even want to come back and rebuild.
How It Works
Grace Period is the buffer time between when your land becomes overdue and when it will be reclaimed. It is a merit based program, where the longer you own a parcel, the more grace period that parcel earns. You will receive one day of grace period for every 4 weeks of consecutive occupancy after the initial land purchase, up to a maximum of 14 days. For instance, if you've owned a parcel for over a year, you'd have a 13-day grace period before the estate would act to reclaim it. However, if you've owned another parcel for only 2 months, you'd have only 2 days of grace.
Communication Is Key
If you're ever having difficulty paying tier, please contact estate management to discuss your situation. In almost all cases, as long as there is ongoing communication about your situation, and a commitment to catch up on overdue tier, your land will not be reclaimed. However, if no communication is made, our policy is to follow the Grace Period outlined here. That means if you run out of Grace Period time, and there's no communication; as much as it saddens us to do so -- your land will be reclaimed.
Caveats
- There is no tier grace period for land that is both for sale and overdue.
- This program is a privilege and a perk. If you abuse it or the estate, the program may not apply to you.
