You must understand that a\u00a0contract is not a legal binding piece of paper by government\u00a0standards, it is more or less, a document to solidify the points of\u00a0\u00a0agreement between yourself and your partner. It provides sense of\u00a0awareness of the importance of the commitment, not just for the\u00a0Dominant but also for the submissive as well.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS;\">The contract itself, should not be lengthy. You should keep it short\u00a0and general as much as possible, and straight to the point. There\u00a0 should be plenty of leverage within it to account for unforeseen\u00a0events or problems which may occur in every relationship, and matter.\u00a0The wording should be well chosen. It does not have to be fancy\u00a0 looking or &#8220;built up&#8221; 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\u00a0 make any general sense, requiring many times to look over. This\u00a0contract must be something which can be stuck in both of you. It doesn&#8217;t have to be memorized, but there should always be a general \u00a0understanding over it. The submissive must understand the contract.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS;\">The contract should not include rules of behavior, except in a\u00a0 &#8220;general&#8221; sense. It should not be detailed to the point where it is\u00a0ninety pages long. The more complicated it is, the easier it will be\u00a0 to &#8220;break&#8221; the contract, and once it is broken it becomes nothing more\u00a0 then a worthless piece of paper. it should not include anything like, \u00a0mode of dress, rules, sexuality details, hygiene, or anything inviting\u00a0 to actually &#8220;break&#8221; the contract. Again, it needs to be short, simple\u00a0 and to the point, remember this.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS;\">\u00a0You both must be able to agree with the contract and what has been \u00a0proposed. You both should be free to discuss issues and concerns\u00a0 within the contract, be able to go over points, ask questions and make\u00a0 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\u00a0\u00a0the table to be discussed. You have the option of being inflexible\u00a0 with certain aspects, but if you are inflexible with things, be\u00a0prepared to handle and deal with rejection. You as the Dominant must\u00a0take the hit for such if the contract is indeed rejected. You must \u00a0insure emotional safety of the trainee and be able to accept its\u00a0\u00a0rejection without consequence to the slave. Remember to listen to your\u00a0 partner, for they may have a valuable opinion on certain things, and\u00a0understand certain things. Remember, communication is a important\u00a0\u00a0aspect to the relationship. When discussing the contract, do so in a\u00a0non-threatening, comfortable venue. The submissive should be able to express his\/her feelings freely. Remember, that when a\u00a0submissive\/slave accepts a contract of this caliber, they are making a\u00a0choice which has potential effect and impact on the rest of their\u00a0life. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS;\">The actual signing of the contract is up to you. There are various\u00a0ways in which you can go about such. Some people make a formal presentation when signing the contract in front of a witness, as any\u00a0contract is usually signed. Some people do such during the actual\u00a0collaring of the slave. Some do such during a marriage type proceedings. Dress, actions, and the way the situation is handled, is\u00a0totally up to you as the Dominant. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS;\">One formal way of tending to the signing of the contract is to have\u00a0the slave kneeling in a chosen position by yourself, wearing nothing,\u00a0 stating her desire and wish to enter the training and ask your\u00a0permission to do so. One granted, both parties, starting with the\u00a0\u00a0dominant, should read the contract out loud. Once the contract has\u00a0 been read, it should be asked upon the submissive, if he\/she\u00a0 understands the terms of the contract, and agrees to them. Upon her\u00a0 agreement and acceptance of the terms, both of the parties should then\u00a0 sign the contract. Then the collar of training is presented and placed\u00a0 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\u00a0whom 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\u00a0 as a tool in which to get out of something, and such should never be\u00a0given to him\/her. The submissive\/slave will make mistakes from time to\u00a0time, but if the general terms of the contract are not upheld, she\/he should understand that the contract cannot just be completely torn up\u00a0and stopped. The contract pledges servitude to you for a certain\u00a0period of time, and it must be clear, that he\/she will be required and\u00a0made to continue their obligations to the end.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS;\">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\u00a0another opportunity to be trained by you. You must be firm in this and prepared to follow through should the slave choose to break the\u00a0contract. Circumstances that would allow the submissive\/slave a second\u00a0 chance, are extremely rare, or nonexistent. This contract is a very\u00a0important aspect of the training program, and is something which\u00a0should not be taken lightly.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS;\">\u00a0This should also be understood for the Dominant\/Owner as well. If You\u00a0are incapable of holding your end of the contract, such as if your training becomes sporadic, guidance is not available, the\u00a0submissive\/slave will most likely not presume a relationship after the\u00a0contracted time with you. The ability to trust or respect will then so\u00a0forth be broken, and you will make little to no progress during the\u00a0training period. It is absolutely essential that you prove yourself trustworthy and consider yourself bound by the terms oft he signed\u00a0 contract. If for any reason, you feel you cannot pledge as much as the\u00a0submissive is, then do not use a contract.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em><strong><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS;\">If you feel you cannot\u00a0reasonably uphold the principles of the Master\/slave relationship to\u00a0the point where you feel uncomfortable signing a contract, you should\u00a0reconsider your desire to own a slave. With or without a contract, your responsibility remains the same.<\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A sample training contract is a consensual agreement between a\u00a0\u00a0 Dominant and a submissive that specifies the roles, rights, and\u00a0 responsibilities of the people involved.
