Section A: General Plot Rules
These rules apply to all plots within Lexford.
1) Refund Policy: A refund will NOT be given if you are evicted for breaking any of the town rules. However, plot owners evicted for town development or other reasons unrelated to the breaking of a rule will receive at least a full refund of the initial plot price. Additionally, if you choose to sell your plot back to the town via /as sell, you will receive an automatic 90% refund.
2) Discretionary Evictions: The town’s mayor reserves the right to evict any plot owner for any reason. However, each discretionary eviction must be approved via a majority vote by the town’s council, unless it is for agreed town development.

4) Server Bans: Any player banned permanently or for 30 days or longer will be evicted after 3 days of being banned.
5) Liability: The plot owner will be held liable for any rule violations, even if the violation is caused by someone who the plot owner has added to the plot.
6) Structure Vaulting Policy: In general, structures are vaulted following eviction. However, if the Mayor deems a structure to be historically or aesthetically significant to the town, he may choose to not have it vaulted. All personal belongings such as chests will be vaulted regardless.
7) Eviction Notices: Unless evicted for Inactivity (Section 1, Rule 3), plot owners will be given at least 3 days notice before eviction occurs. In most cases, plot owners will be given longer than this to make adjustments to comply with the rules. If the required adjustments are made, the eviction notice will be lifted.
