Code of Conduct
The following Code of Conduct is in effect during all events open to the public, whether hosted by Upline or someone renting out the studio. Events open to the public are defined as advertised events. Closed events may use different rules, which will be reviewed by Upline management prior to the event.
​
1. Guests must sign a liability waiver when entering the studio. Blank waivers will be available at the front.
​
2. Guests must be 18 years of age or older. The event host may ask you for your ID to verify your age.
3. Consent is a baseline of what we do. Consent violations during events at the space should be reported to the event host as soon as possible. A simple consent model you can use is available here: https://www.plannedparenthooddirect.org/article/what-consent
4. Engaging in any play while under the influence of drugs or alcohol is not permitted at Upline. If you wouldn't drive a car, you can't play.
​
5. Upline guests are required to not engage in rude, discriminatory, offensive, or abusive behavior towards others.
​
6. The house safe word is RED.
7. Guests are not allowed to misuse or temper with studio equipment.
8. The official event host may ask a guest to leave if they are not adhering to this Code of Conduct or any other event rules. The event host may designate additional co-hosts to have the same power. If a guest is asked to leave by the host or a person they have designated as a co-host, they are expected to leave promptly and without argument.
​
9. Glitter is not allowed at Upline under any circumstances.
​
10. Certain types of activities are generally not allowed at the studio. This includes:
-
Sex and sexual activity (defined broadly as stimulation of the in-underpants anatomy).
-
Fire play and open flames.
-
Blood play
​
If the particular event does have an exception to this rule, the event description will state so and/or the event host will inform the guests of the exception in place.
​
11. Do not sit naked (as in no underpants) on the furniture or the floor or mats. Guests are expected to wipe down the mats after they use them with the cleaning supplies available at the studio and to generally try to keep the studio clean.
​
Questions & Concerns. You are encouraged to direct your questions and/or concerns to info@uplinestudio.com or by on FetLife at @Upline.
​
If you experience or witness a consent incident, inform Upline owners, staff, or volunteers immediately, or email incidents@uplinestudio.com.
Violation of this policy may result in expulsion from events or a ban from the studio.
Disclaimer: Every reasonable effort will be made to enforce this policy, but this organization makes no representations or guarantees about its ability to do so, and all participants/attendees retain full, sole responsibility for their safety and the safety of others with whom they interact.
