Can I sell my Second Life account to another person?

[Lone Guardian]

Can I sell my Second Life account to another person? Or is that in violation of the TOS?

 

OK, I have 2 answers telling me a definate NO, but i look up the terms of service agreement myself and this is what i read:

 

3. ACCOUNT REGISTRATION AND BILLING

3.1 You must establish an account to use Second Life, using true and accurate registration information.

You must establish an Account with Linden Lab to use the Service, except for those portions of the Websites which Linden Lab allows users to access without registration.  You may establish one or more additional Accounts, provided that your existing Account is in good standing and you are otherwise in full compliance with this Agreement. You may not transfer or assign your Account and its contractual rights, licenses and obligations, to any third party without the prior written consent of Linden Lab.

Seems to me thats NOT a definate NO, but a matter of aquiring written consent?

You can't. It is a violation of the TOS.

You may not transfer your account to another person while you are still alive. If you wish, you may bequeath your account to someone else in your will.

Answering the edit of your OP, see the official document linked by Valerie. Of course you can transfer your account with a prior consent of Linden Lab: Linden Lab can empower you anything!

But your question was about a "normal" transfer/sale of the account. In any case, try contact with LL for sell your account

I would say that you are reading it correctly.

If both Residents submit a transfer request to LL, LL will be at it's liberty to grant or deny the request.

Personally, I've always thought it was a "don't ask, don't tell" policy. lol

 

 

If they let one person do it,..... ok... if you don't tell ;  who will know?

What Irene said. :smileyhappy:

You have to do that in writing (you can do it by fax). You will have to give as many (strong) reasons as possible to explain your request. Good luck!
