Friend Banned without Warning from Land?

[Error403Forbidden]

I know Second Life has some pretty off the rails policies and basically, if you don't like something / someone you just block or go away.

BUT, my friend was recently banned from a land for some very vague rule breaking without any warning. The rules of the land say they don't give refunds for any reason, but is this actually legal on Second Life? Should they be giving him and ME and refund? Because after they did this to him, I don't want to be there either any more and I don't want to give my money to a place like this.

Is there anything we can or should do?

Sounds like a resident to resident dispute. If they own the land they are able to do whatever they want.  Maybe try to be very nice and ask for a refund but if they don't give it to you there isn't much you can do.  I hope you didn't pay for more than 1 week rent.

I think it has not  a lot to do with SL rules and policies, but the covenant of the one you rent from. Those rules can be stricter and different to the general rules that LL gives in the TOS and policies.
You state yourself they found you break a rule on their land. In that case the landlord has the right to end the rent. You agreed to those rules at the moment you started renting there.
You have a nearly to zero chance LL will step into this case. Unless there are signs they broke the TOS.
