ANNEX II: PROTOCOLS
1. GENERAL:
These Protocols are intended to be Standing Orders for the slave to follow, secure in the knowledge that he is always conducting himself according to the correct Protocol in force at that time. These Protocols are how the Master wants his slave to behave at any given time.
If the slave is in any doubt which Protocol is in force at any time, he must ask his Master for a ruling in a manner that is appropriate to the prevailing circumstances and conditions.
As Protocol and ritual is very important within the bdsm world and lifestyle, failure to ask for direction from his Master as instructed above will result in correction, and in persistent infractions, punishment.
Protocols can be in force whether the slave is at his Master’s home, or away from his Master, depending on the company he is in. One of these three states of Protocol is always in force at any time while the slave is owned, whether by Training Contract or Full Contract of Ownership.
This Annex is intended to be dynamic and organic, and it will be necessary for it to be amended by the Master as time progresses. Any amendments will be considered binding.
