The Contract

A sample training contract is a consensual agreement between a   Dominant and a submissive that specifies the roles, rights, and  responsibilities of the people involved. You must understand that a contract is not a legal binding piece of paper by government standards, it is more or less, a document to solidify the points of  agreement between yourself and your partner. It provides sense of awareness of the importance of the commitment, not just for the Dominant but also for the submissive as well.

The contract itself, should not be lengthy. You should keep it short and general as much as possible, and straight to the point. There  should be plenty of leverage within it to account for unforeseen events or problems which may occur in every relationship, and matter. The wording should be well chosen. It does not have to be fancy  looking or “built up” which can make the document confusing to read.It should be very straight to the point, and written clearly so it is easily understood. Try not to use fancy words, or things which do not  make any general sense, requiring many times to look over. This contract must be something which can be stuck in both of you. It doesn’t have to be memorized, but there should always be a general  understanding over it. The submissive must understand the contract.

The contract should not include rules of behavior, except in a  “general” sense. It should not be detailed to the point where it is ninety pages long. The more complicated it is, the easier it will be  to “break” the contract, and once it is broken it becomes nothing more  then a worthless piece of paper. it should not include anything like,  mode of dress, rules, sexuality details, hygiene, or anything inviting  to actually “break” the contract. Again, it needs to be short, simple  and to the point, remember this.

 You both must be able to agree with the contract and what has been  proposed. You both should be free to discuss issues and concerns  within the contract, be able to go over points, ask questions and make  suggestions. As the Dominant or Trainer, it is up to you to compose the initial document and terms of the agreement, and put them out on  the table to be discussed. You have the option of being inflexible  with certain aspects, but if you are inflexible with things, be prepared to handle and deal with rejection. You as the Dominant must take the hit for such if the contract is indeed rejected. You must  insure emotional safety of the trainee and be able to accept its  rejection without consequence to the slave. Remember to listen to your  partner, for they may have a valuable opinion on certain things, and understand certain things. Remember, communication is a important  aspect to the relationship. When discussing the contract, do so in a non-threatening, comfortable venue. The submissive should be able to express his/her feelings freely. Remember, that when a submissive/slave accepts a contract of this caliber, they are making a choice which has potential effect and impact on the rest of their life.

The actual signing of the contract is up to you. There are various ways in which you can go about such. Some people make a formal presentation when signing the contract in front of a witness, as any contract is usually signed. Some people do such during the actual collaring of the slave. Some do such during a marriage type proceedings. Dress, actions, and the way the situation is handled, is totally up to you as the Dominant.

One formal way of tending to the signing of the contract is to have the slave kneeling in a chosen position by yourself, wearing nothing,  stating her desire and wish to enter the training and ask your permission to do so. One granted, both parties, starting with the  dominant, should read the contract out loud. Once the contract has  been read, it should be asked upon the submissive, if he/she  understands the terms of the contract, and agrees to them. Upon her  agreement and acceptance of the terms, both of the parties should then  sign the contract. Then the collar of training is presented and placed  upon the girl, which will be worn till she has completed the training program. At this moment in time, the contract begins the period of training for the submissive. The Trainer/Dominant should be the one whom which holds the document, and such should be viewable by the submissive at the appropriate time with a appropriate request. An inappropriate time, would be during punishment, or when the submissive is being corrected. These moments, the submissive may use the contract  as a tool in which to get out of something, and such should never be given to him/her. The submissive/slave will make mistakes from time to time, but if the general terms of the contract are not upheld, she/he should understand that the contract cannot just be completely torn up and stopped. The contract pledges servitude to you for a certain period of time, and it must be clear, that he/she will be required and made to continue their obligations to the end.

If the slave/submissive fails to adhere to the principles of the contract and cause it to become null and void through dismissal of the principles of the contract, the training should then stop immediately, and the submissive/slave should understand, that there might not be another opportunity to be trained by you. You must be firm in this and prepared to follow through should the slave choose to break the contract. Circumstances that would allow the submissive/slave a second  chance, are extremely rare, or nonexistent. This contract is a very important aspect of the training program, and is something which should not be taken lightly.

 This should also be understood for the Dominant/Owner as well. If You are incapable of holding your end of the contract, such as if your training becomes sporadic, guidance is not available, the submissive/slave will most likely not presume a relationship after the contracted time with you. The ability to trust or respect will then so forth be broken, and you will make little to no progress during the training period. It is absolutely essential that you prove yourself trustworthy and consider yourself bound by the terms oft he signed  contract. If for any reason, you feel you cannot pledge as much as the submissive is, then do not use a contract.

If you feel you cannot reasonably uphold the principles of the Master/slave relationship to the point where you feel uncomfortable signing a contract, you should reconsider your desire to own a slave. With or without a contract, your responsibility remains the same.
