A friendly and respectful atmosphere is therefore the foundation of our events and courses. Treat each other with respect and consideration. We expect everyone to act carefully, communicate effectively, be consent-oriented, and mindful, and we encourage you to respect your own boundaries as well as those of others and to take responsibility for yourself.
   We do not tolerate verbal, physical, or sexual harassment. This includes sexist, racist, ableist, transphobic, or other forms of discrimination.

For us, inclusion is not a passing fad, but a matter of attitude. We assume that our Values These values should be shared or at least respected. Our community is based on these values – if you cannot identify with or support them, then we are probably not the right choice for you. Therefore, we do not tolerate any misogynistic, racist, homophobic, ableist, or classist statements or behaviors. Thank you to everyone who consciously shapes this space!

1. Look out for each other - like thisIf someone is unwell, call for help or help them yourself. If help is refused, respect that decision. Even an offer of help can be intrusive. This responsibility not only concerns safe restraint techniques and the handling of ropes, but also respectful treatment of each individual's personal comfort zones.

If you find it difficult to tell your partner something, you can always contact me. This applies not only within couples but also if uncomfortable situations arise with other participants. And of course, we are also open to any feedback on our own behavior.
3. Avoid involuntary outings - What happens at our events stays at those events, unless there is a consensus to the contrary.

   We ask that you keep your eyes open when taking your place to avoid blocking any restraint spots or suspension points. This also applies after the restraints have ended and the cool-down has begun – please clear the restraint spots afterwards according to the clean-room principle (6.)!
   Please treat the equipment and furnishings of the venue with the same care as you would your own property.t.
5. The organizers and team members are the contact persons for questions and problems. The organizers may also be doing the bondage themselves, for example during the bondage meet-up, but can be contacted at any time in emergencies, or you can approach a team member.




☆ § 3 VOLUNTARY PARTICIPATION (CONSENSUS)

1. Participation and the use of restraints are voluntary and at one's own risk. Restraints are always consensual and consensual.
   No one has to tie anyone up or be tied up. Only "yes" means "yes" - respect the boundaries of the other person and make sure you don't cross them.
   “No” means “no” and nobody has to explain why he or she doesn’t want to be tied up - maybe “no” is also acceptable.
2. Dare to say "no" and listen to your own needs.
3. Consent can be withdrawn at any time, even if previously given. Every person has the right to change their mind, withdraw their consent, and cancel the action if they feel uncomfortable or no longer agree.

☆ § 4 AVOID DISTURBANCES

1. To ensure the appropriate atmosphere during the event and to avoid disturbing the active bondage participants (as well as residents), we ask you to pay attention to your conversation volume, both in the bondage room and the lounge area and, if applicable, in the outdoor area.
2. Those engaged in the game/playing should not be disturbed – this means refraining from directly addressing or interrupting the participants. Keep your distance and structure your conversations so that the participants are not disturbed by the noise level. Questions can be asked afterward if necessary.
3. We also consider it a matter of course to switch your mobile phone to silent mode.
4. We consider the "closing noise" of SLR cameras and the use of flash to be disturbances – we see our bondage meet-up as a place for the action and aren't chasing after photographic trophies. No one objects to the occasional cell phone photo – as long as no one is visible in the background.
5. Should anyone observe or become aware of any breaches of decency, please contact an organizer. Troublemakers and aggressors will be removed from the event and may be banned from future participation!

4. If you are unsure about something and/or would like to try something, ask the organizers for support (so-called spotting/assistance). This is permitted insofar as the organizer provides themselves or a suitable person, e.g., a team member, on a voluntary basis.
