Dungeon Monitors (D/M’s) are in charge of all activity (scenes) at all times and have final authority over ANY issue. I understand that I am encouraged to communicate with the DM’s if I have any questions or concerns.
I understand mutual consent distinguishes BDSM from physical or mental abuse or assault. Context is what determines whether or not pain is pleasurable, and the context depends on the individual.
Safe, Sane, and Consensual behavior is a mandatory at all times. NEDS does not condone, suggest or approve non-consensual behaviors or activities or unsafe practices! If such interaction is your preference, NEDS is not the group for you. The use of safe words and/or signals is required. I understand and agree that I should immediately report any nonconsensual abuse to the DM’s.
I understand and agree that I am not allowed to touch anyone without permission. I understand and agree that I am not allowed to interfere with any activity without replied consent from the person in charge (TOP) of that scene.
I understand and agree NEDS is NOT a sex club, and NEDS does NOT provide partners for people.
I understand and agree fees collected are for the purpose of supporting the sponsoring entity’s expenses, and do not entitle payer to anything other than admission to the event. Anyone found engaging in or soliciting an act of prostitution will be permanently expelled.
I understand and agree that firearms, drugs, illegal beverages will NOT be allowed on NEDS property.
I understand and know that NEDS condones activities only between consenting adults, and that such activity may involve acts of partial or full nudity, Domination, submission, bondage, discipline, sadism and masochism, and extravagant trust or object reverence commonly regarded as fetishes.
I understand and realize accidents can happen in BDSM practice, as in any other physical activity. I further understand that these activities involve certain risks including, but not limited to, the possible negligent or reckless conduct of it’s participants, and I further deem that NEDS nor any affiliated supporters or sponsors should be held responsible for any such negligent conduct.
I accept the assumption of risk and I am aware that BDSM activities are considered extremely hazardous.
