Second Life Terms of Service https://www.lindenlab.com/legal/second-life-terms-and-conditions
1. About your avatar
Le Chateau is a human only avatar place. We realize that some of you prefer not to be human, i.e. Furries or Animes but we are looking for a realistic experience across the estate. Most human avatars wearing discreet elf ears, horns, legs such as faun legs etc, dressed in appropriate clothing, will be taken under individual consideration.
Also please remember that we are in 2026, mesh bodies and heads exists even for free! We value the importance of the land's design so kindly please make an effort.
2. Must be 18+ years of age to play
You agree that you are of 18+ years of age and are a legal consenting adult.
3. Underage Characters
While underage characters are NOT allowed on the Le Chateau MAIN ESTATE due to its Adult rating, mature themes, and sexual content, Le Chateau Hamptons, Riviera and Appalachia welcomes family and child avatars, provided they are controlled by 18+ years of age and are a legal consenting adult.
4. Language
Le Chateau is a Multinational estate, meaning there are several different nationalities involved in the creation and upkeep of the land. Because of this the land caters to not only just English speakers but also French. Please be polite and courteous with players of all nationalities. Use a translator when necessary.
5. No Promoting other places
Le Chateau fosters a spirit of friendliness and cooperation with other places that we deem to be friends, and we're constantly reaching out to add more to our circle. However, announcing your own events at non-affiliated clubs or places either in local or group chat is a wretched thing to do, so please refrain from doing so.
6. Privacy, Tranquility and Dress code
You may find a few rentals around. Please respect the privacy and tranquility of the residents. We also encourage a 1980s–1990s inspired dress code across Le Chateau to match the atmosphere, though it is not mandatory.
7. Be polite
Be polite to everyone in the estate. Please ask permission before sitting on an object with someone else already on it, such as a chair or a sofa. Respect the privacy of the homes.
8. Adult stuff
Adult action is not allowed in any public place except at The Velvet, El Patron, Main Estate Country Club pool or in your rentals if you rented one of them. NO nudity allowed in the whole estate.
