Contract of Dominance


Photo by d9009

Following on from 'My Way' on the 3rd, this is the latest incarnation of my version of the classic slave contract. It outlines the general features of the Top/subordinate relationship, covering the basics without going into specific details. The Top will decide upon any additional rules/commands, so long as they do not breach any of the Ten Articles.

I don't personally intend it to be printed out, signed, witnessed, etc. None of that is necessary. It is just a statement of principles to which both parties agree.



Contract of Dominance
_____________________________


This Contract sets out the responsibilities and duties of the Top and the subordinate.

This Contract is binding for an initial probationary period of three months, at which time it will be reviewed by both parties. Reviews will then take place annually from the date of the initial agreement.

This Contract may be terminated at the discretion of the Top at any time on the grounds of serious disobedience by the subordinate.


Article One:

The First Duty of the Top is to safeguard the wellbeing of his subordinate. He must protect his subordinate from unwarranted harm. This is defined as any harm that has a lasting detrimental effect on the subordinate's physical health, psychological wellbeing, home, work, education, finances or family relationships.

Article Two:

The Second Duty of the Top is to develop the submissive nature of his subordinate through guidance, training and discipline.

Article Three:

The First Duty of the subordinate is to respect, obey and serve his Top.

Article Four:

The Second Duty of the subordinate is to nurture and maintain his own physical and mental wellbeing so that he can serve his Top more effectively.

Article Five:

The subordinate demonstrates his respect for his Top in all of his dealings, through his speech, attitude and actions.

Article Six:

The subordinate demonstrates his obedience to his Top by obeying all commands given to him by his Top. Every instruction given to him by his Top, whether verbal or non-verbal, is a command.

Article Seven:

The subordinate will inform the Top if he believes that obeying an order will, due to circumstances unknown to his Top, result in unwarranted harm.

Article Eight:

Failure to obey a command, without reasonable mitigation, constitutes an incidence of disobedience and will warrant punishment. The form of punishment may be physical or non-physical, and will be decided by the Top. Reasonable mitigation is defined as circumstances beyond the subordinate's control or circumstances which would lead to unwarranted harm.

Article Nine:

The Top may instruct the subordinate to obey and serve other tops. However, borrowing tops may not exceed limits laid down by the subordinate's own Top, and any orders given by a borrowing top which contravene commands given by the subordinate's own Top, or the Articles of this Contract, will not be obeyed.

Article Ten:

The subordinate will present himself as a good example of his Top's authority and will behave in a respectful manner towards other Dominants. He will always remember that his behaviour reflects upon his Top and he will strive to make his Top proud.
