Terms of Use: Licenses of Black Tulip's products

Full perms assets and scripts for designers created by Auryn Beorn are intended only for content creators so they can use them in their creations.

By purchasing any of these full perms assets/scripts for designers you have not purchased the ownership of them, nor does your purchase grant you full rights for their use. What you're purchasing is a license for limited use, only as outlined in these terms and license conditions. By purchasing this license for use of Black Tulip Full permissions asset/Script for designers, you are agreeing to follow the terms of this license, and you agree that these full permissions assets/scripts for designers you have been given permission to use will not be distributed to others in their full permission or copy/transfer unprotected state.

Licenses are valid only in the scope/virtual world they're purchased into. For example, if you purchase a license in the Second Life® virtual world, this means that you can use the purchased asset only in the Second Life® virtual world.

Because of the full permissions/copy+transfer state of Black Tulip resources for designers, we do not offer refunds. The only exception are double purchases.

Scripts for Designers

By acquiring any script package, you agree to:

  • SET Permissions for Next Owner of all scripts included in your purchase to one of these:
    • Copy/No Modify/No Transfer
    • No Copy/No Modify/Transfer
    Detailed instructions about how to do all this follow.
  • NEVER give away any of the scripts contained in your purchase under any circumstances with both copy and transfer permissions enabled for next owner. NEVER leave modify enabled for next owner.

The script/s you purchase are EXCLUSIVELY to be used in the items you sell/gift: you are responsible for any misuse. Alts are not recognized. Partners are not recognized. Licenses are per account. If you're found sharing the scripts with other accounts with both copy and transfer permissions, your license is void.

How to change Permissions for Next Owner correctly?

The quickest way is to change them in your inventory, so you have them ready to drop in your items.

To do this, right click the script you want to set permissions for next owner, and click the Properties window. This opens a window where you will see a line at bottom saying:

Next owner can: [ ] Modify [ ] Copy [ ] Resell/Give away

By checking those marks we ALLOW what the next owner can do. By leaving them empty, we're restricting what next owner can do.

NOTE: Resell/Give away is what, in short, is generally referred to as TRANSFER.

If your build is COPY/NO TRANSFER, you should adjust the permissions for next owner of the main script this way:

Copy/No Modify/No Transfer

If your build is NO COPY/TRANSFER, you should adjust the permissions for next owner of the main script this way:

No Copy/No Modify/Transfer
