There are a couple of things in the Nburg TOS that really bugged me when I first read it.

The first one is not only offensive, it is "illegal" in the sense that the "power" given is actually a violation of the LL TOS, which supposedly supercedes all our documents.
From: Nburg TOS
8.2 Neualtenburg Observation. You acknowledge and agree that
Neualtenburg, in its sole discretion, may track, record, observe
or follow any and all of your interactions within the City.

To me this has a real "Secret Police" quality to it and is both unecessary and rude.
I suggest it be deleted forthwith.

The other one is more of a judgement call but I think the bolded words here are unecessary language (and again probably unenforceable).
From: Nburg TOS
Content as determined by Neualtenburg at its sole discretion
that is harmful, threatening, abusive, harassing, causes tort, (is)
defamatory, vulgar, obscene, libelous, invasive of another's privacy,
hateful, racially, ethnically or otherwise objectionable;..
I agree with the idea that we should not be abusive threatening, harrasing etc. but I am not so sure about the "vulgar/obscene" part and how that could be defined.

I am personally not in favour of pornography in public places and so forth, but shouldn't we perhaps say that specifically, instead of just saying "vulgar"? Vulgar and obscene covers a lot of ground and is perhaps vague. The "otherwise objectionable" part might be similarly unenforceable given that it covers pretty much everything under the sun and it doesn't define objectionable to whom.
