Effective August 30, 2026

​

Crown & Collar Society is a private social society built around exceptional company, meaningful connection, discretion, curiosity, and respect. These Rules of Conduct apply to everyone participating in a Crown & Collar experience, including those admitted to the Society, invited guests, and attendees of gatherings open to the wider community. Different experiences may have different expectations based on the setting, venue, and nature of the gathering. Additional event-specific rules may therefore be communicated when appropriate.

​

Our Core Expectations

​

• Consent: Every person has absolute authority over their own body, boundaries, participation, and interactions. No one is entitled to another person's attention, affection, touch, play, or explanation. 

• Respect: Treat other attendees, hosts, venue staff, collaborators, and the spaces we enter with consideration and dignity. 

• Responsibility: Each person is responsible for their own choices, conduct, judgment, and adherence to applicable law.

• Discretion: Crown & Collar depends upon an environment in which people can comfortably be themselves without concern that their presence, identity, conversations, or private lives will be disclosed without permission.​

​

I. CONSENT & PERSONAL BOUNDARIES

​

Consent must be informed, voluntary, and specific to the interaction taking place. Prior interactions, relationships, invitations, or consent given on another occasion do not create continuing consent. Do not touch another person or their personal belongings without permission. No person may enter, interrupt, participate in, or otherwise interfere with a private interaction or scene without the consent of those involved. A person may decline any interaction for any reason and owes no explanation for doing so.

​

Where BDSM or other forms of play are permitted as part of an experience, participants are responsible for discussing boundaries, risks, communication, and appropriate safewords or signals before beginning. Only consenting adults age 18 or older may participate in any sexual, kink, or BDSM activity associated with a Crown & Collar experience.

​

II. SAFETY & JUDGMENT

​

Participants are expected to exercise sound judgment and take reasonable responsibility for their own safety and that of others. Dangerous, reckless, coercive, or nonconsensual conduct is prohibited. Crown & Collar may establish additional safety restrictions for particular experiences, activities, venues, or forms of play. Anyone whose judgment or behavior appears materially impaired by alcohol or another substance may be asked to discontinue participation or leave an experience. Illegal drug use is prohibited at Crown & Collar experiences.

​

III. DISCRETION & PRIVACY

​

Do not publicly identify another attendee as being associated with Crown & Collar without that person's permission. Do not disclose private venue information, private invitations, personal information, conversations, scenes, relationships, or other sensitive information concerning another participant without authorization. Photography, video, audio recording, livestreaming, or other recording of participants is prohibited unless expressly permitted by Crown & Collar and everyone identifiable in the content has consented. What happens within Crown & Collar should remain within the confidence of those who were invited into it.

​

IV. DECORUM & COMMUNITY CONDUCT

​

Crown & Collar experiences are intentionally curated environments. Participants are expected to conduct themselves in a manner consistent with the character of the gathering. Harassment, intimidation, coercion, predatory behavior, persistent unwanted attention, discrimination, threats, violence, or deliberately disruptive conduct will not be tolerated.

Respect venue staff, property, hosts, collaborators, and other attendees. Dress codes and other experience-specific expectations will be communicated when applicable.

​

V. SEXUAL & TRANSACTIONAL CONDUCT

​

Crown & Collar does not facilitate prostitution or the exchange of sexual activity for money, gifts, services, or other compensation. No participant may solicit, advertise, arrange, or facilitate commercial sexual services through a Crown & Collar experience or Society-managed platform. Participation in Crown & Collar does not imply sexual availability or consent to sexual, romantic, kink, or BDSM interaction.

​

VI. GUESTS

​

Where guests are permitted, any guest must comply with these Rules of Conduct and any additional requirements applicable to the experience. Permission to bring a guest may vary by experience. Attendance at one gathering does not create continuing approval or eligibility for future gatherings.

​

VII. VENUES & THIRD-PARTY SPACES

​

Crown & Collar experiences may occur in restaurants, private residences, hospitality venues, cultural institutions, outdoor settings, or other third-party spaces. Participants must comply with applicable law and any additional rules established by the venue, property owner, activity provider, or Crown & Collar. Permission for conduct at one Crown & Collar experience should never be assumed to apply at another. In particular, sexual activity, nudity, BDSM play, photography, substance use, or other venue-sensitive conduct is permitted only where expressly authorized.

​

VIII. CONTINUED PARTICIPATION

​

Participation in Crown & Collar is discretionary. Crown & Collar may deny entry, require someone to leave an experience, decline future invitations, or discontinue an individual's participation in the Society when it determines that doing so is appropriate to protect the safety, privacy, culture, integrity, or experience of the community. A serious violation may result in immediate action. Crown & Collar is not required to provide warnings, progressive discipline, or continued access before taking action.

​

IX. PRIVATE CONDUCT OUTSIDE CROWN & COLLAR

​

Individuals form friendships, relationships, romantic connections, BDSM dynamics, and other private associations independently of Crown & Collar. Crown & Collar does not supervise or control private interactions occurring outside its experiences or Society-managed environments and is not a party to private relationships or arrangements formed between participants.
