1. Currency Disclaimer (Formal)

  • The ATHR system provides a fictional, roleplay-only currency (“RP Money” or "Prize Tickets") that exists solely for entertainment, competitive tracking, and in-world roleplay purposes.
  • RP Money has no cash value and cannot be redeemed, exchanged, or converted into Linden Dollars (L$), U.S. Dollars (USD), or any other real-world or digital currency.
  • Ownership of RP Money does not grant users any rights, claims, or entitlements beyond its use within ATHR-supported games, apps, and venues.
  • Any resemblance between RP Money and real-world financial instruments is purely coincidental and unintended.

2. What ATHR Is

Acronymized Trade Holdings Resources (ATHR) is a web-based backend system for games and roleplay systems in Second Life.

  • Developed by Rez Gray to support various games with similar backend mechanics.
  • Used for roleplay currency, competitive tracking, and inventory/resource systems.

3. Key Terms

  • Venue or Locale – Privately owned land that wants its own roleplay money, inventory, or resource systems.
  • App – A grid-wide application or game running on ATHR.
  • RP Money or RP Currency – Fake currency earned in-venue by roleplay activities, used for in-venue purchases or rewards.
  • Loiter or Dwell – Some venues may pay RP Money for simply hanging out to increase traffic metrics.
  • Agent – You, the SL Resident.
  • Region (Sim) – A parcel of Second Life land.

4. User Privacy

  • ATHR is designed with user privacy in mind. We do not collect, process, or have access to any real-world identifying information.
  • The only avatar-related details recorded are:
    • Second Life Resident Name
    • Second Life UUID (unique avatar identifier)
  • We only log direct interactions with ATHR systems, including:
    • Transactions (earning or spending RP currency, resource extractions, etc.)
    • Game or app-related actions (quests, achievements, accruals)
    • Venue-related participation (timeclock, loiter bonuses, roleplay activity)
  • We do not collect:
    • IP addresses or device information
    • Real-world personal information
    • In-world movement patterns or unrelated activity

ATHR operates only within the scope of its games, apps, and roleplay functions. Your privacy is respected at all times.

5. Data We Collect

About You

  • SL Resident name and UUID.
  • Presence in ATHR Venue Regions (for loiter/timeclock accruals where applied by venue owners).
  • The region you are in when interacting with looting mechanigs,
  • Your ATHR transactions (earning, spending, resource extraction, etc.).

About Regions

  • Venue statistics (agent counts, performance, hostname, anonymous metrics).
  • Coordinates of SL Regions that interact with the system.

  • What We Cannot See

  • Any of your real-world identity information.
  • Your internet connection details (including IP address).
  • Detailed in-world movements or patterns.

All communication between Second Life and ATHR uses Linden Lab’s servers as a relay. We do not (and cannot) access your real-world data.

6. Privacy & Removal

  • ATHR does not collect or process any personally identifiable information (PII) or real-world data.
  • Because no personal data is collected or stored, ATHR falls outside the scope of GDPR, CCPA, or other real-world privacy regulations.
  • Users may request the removal of their ATHR-related data (such as transaction history, venue statistics, or account records). Such requests will be honored promptly.
  • Exception: Avatar bans applied within ATHR remain in effect and are not subject to removal.

7. Website & Cookies

  • The ATHR website uses only minimal, system-level cookies associated with its content management system (CMS).
  • The only user-related data collected consists of anonymous page breadcrumb tracking (navigation flow) to improve usability.
  • No personal data, browsing history, marketing identifiers, or third-party tracking cookies are collected or stored.

8. Prohibited Actions

You agree not to:

  • Hack, exploit, or attempt to break ATHR.
  • Scam other users.
  • Integrate ATHR with real-currency vendor systems.
  • Confuse ATHR or Venue RP currency with L$ or real money.
  • Attempt to sell ATHR currency for L$ or real currency.
  • Use ATHR in any gambling systems.

9. Admin & Venue Owner Rights

Admins and Venue Owners may:

  • Refuse service, including banning Agents from venues or ATHR systems.
  • Edit/sanitize user inputs for security or vulgarity.
  • Modify any venue-specific variables (including payouts).
  • View transaction histories within their venue system.
  • Adjust account balances.
  • Decline refunds for ATHR or L$ transactions.
  • Change this EULA without prior notice.

10. Liability

ATHR and its operators:

  • Are not liable for any damages, losses, or issues.
  • Provide no warranties or guarantees of any kind.

11. Playful Disclaimers (Read with a Smile)

  • This system is absolutely not designed or intended to replace Linden Dollars (L$) or real-world money. It’s board game money for roleplay fun.
  • In instances where L$ are paid into ATHR, that money goes directly to the developer, venue holder, or vendor owner.
  • There is no way to get L$ or real-world money back out of ATHR.
  • If we did handle real money, it would require lawyers, bankers, and insurance agents — and nobody’s paying us enough for that kind of headache.
  • Linden Lab’s legal department frowns heavily on alternate currency schemes, and would happily eat our kidneys for lunch if we tried it.
  • The U.S. Government also doesn’t look kindly on currencies they didn’t mint themselves — so, again, no real money here.

⚠️ Reminder: This is all for fun and roleplay. Don’t take it too seriously, don’t blur the lines with real money, and don’t make us risk our kidneys (or attract government regulators).
