CODE OF CONDUCT
RULES & POLICIES
CONSENT
Permission for something to happen or agreement to do something.
Enthusiastic consent
Before we get ahead of ourselves remember that creating a connection with someone before approaching anything deeper is of utmost importance.
A lot of communication is given via body language before we even get to speak, so not only are we using our mouths to verbalise, our ears to listen but also our eyes to watch for clear communication.
During our events (and out) we should be seeking clear, verbal and enthusiastic consent for all interactions from all parties involved.
If you are wanting to engage in any physical way with anyone, be that one on one or with a group please be clear about your desires and intentions so there are no opportunities for misunderstandings and misinterpretations, while always waiting to receive an enthusiastic response.
If you feel the need to negotiate, pressure or ask multiple times, you are missing the point of enthusiastic consent.
Ongoing consent is equally important. Yourself and everyone else at anytime is entitled to change their minds, this means checking in with whomever you’re with and respecting their decision at that time.
Seeking consent
We understand that during these events one can get excited but its importance to remember that asking permission in a closed question can make the other individual feel pressured.
Instead of “can I kiss you?” try "How would you feel if I kissed you?" or "what would you like to explore with me?"
If you are a couple looking for that magical unicorn please remember that not everyone is bisexual and consent between all parties needs to be granted by all party members.
Documenting
With technology these days - trying to instill a NO PHONES rule is never going to work.
Therefore our rule is.... you are free to keep your phone with you on the dancefloor or at the bar, HOWEVER capturing photo's/video's of people without their consent will result in a ban from Libertx.
If you are in a play space and your phone comes out, expect to be removed. from the event! If you suspect someone has taken a photo of you without your consent, please speak to staff immediately.
What is a NO?
If it isn’t a clear YES, it’s a NO.
And remember YES is only applied to the question asked;
Receiving permission to kiss someone is NOT consent to touch them in a more intimate way or area.
If someone is unable to verbalise a YES, it’s a NO.
This includes checking in with your play partner during a session.
What happens if I accidentally touch someone?
Accidents happen, we all brush past someone looking in one direction while the dance floor is busy however it is not your right to dictate how a situation has made another feel, if the parties involved wish to speak to staff they will be seen and heard.
Please apologise and ask for forgiveness, it’s polite, the right thing to do and will help the party involved know the sincerity of your mistaken action.
Non-consensual sex/ sexual touching is assault and a crime that is taken very seriously. We will not hesitate to contact/assist the police if needed.
If you are found to have intentionally pushed the boundaries of consent or assaulted someone, you will be immediately removed from the venue and banned from future events.
Self policing
Self policing
Libertx events are self policing, if you find yourself in a situation where a guest has stepped outside of our code of conduct, tell a staff member on the night and we will endeavour to resolve the issue.
Behave as badly as you like - within the rules and without violating others.
If you feel you can not hold yourself to these standards. Do no attend.
Refund policies
REFUND
There is no refund possible for the tickets until the event is sold out.
A Telegram chat will be provide once the party is sold out for anyone who want to resell his ticket, a credit for a futur event is still possible.
There is also the possibility of a case per case by contacting on our website
