A MASTER'S PLEDGE

I, (insert name here), do pledge to accept the submission of (insert name here) that has been freely
offered to me.

I acknowledge that by doing so, I take responsibility to be the best Master that I am capable of being.
I accept my responsibilities to you as binding so long as you wear My collar, and that I will never give
you cause to regret accepting My collar. I pledge to always maintain the honesty and integrity you
expect of Me as your Master.

I pledge to always respect you as My slave, as an individual, and as a wo/man at all times. I pledge to
never take advantage of the power exchange relationship we have entered into to demean you or
damage you. I pledge that even as I use your service and submission for My own needs as your Master,
your needs shall be paramount in My mind and I shall always strive to care for those needs in the best
way I am able, as I see fit, as well as to give you the freedom to grow and pursue those needs as you
must. I will always keep in mind that you honor Me by wearing My collar and allowing Me the power
that I have over you. I accept this honor in the spirit in which it is given, and I will always be honored
by this gift and the service you give Me.

I pledge to use the gift you make Me of your time, talent, and abilities for the betterment of both of
us; that your service to Me will be valued and that I will always keep what’s best for you, physically
and emotionally, paramount in My mind. I pledge that I will guide you in your development as a person
and as a slave, that I will reward and discipline you as necessary in a fair and timely fashion for your
performance as My slave, and that I will give you the structure and support you need to develop as My
slave. I pledge that I will not only recognize and correct your faults, but also recognize and reward your
successes.

I pledge to never use My dominance or your submission to coerce or demand you into doing things
that will be harmful to yourself or your goals and dreams, to stifle your growth, or to adversely impact
things outside the structure of our M/s dynamic. I pledge that I will always take the thoughts, feelings,
and beliefs of us both into account when making decisions for the both of us. While this is a
relationship deliberately structured for inequality, I will ensure that both of us do our equal share in all
things.

I pledge that so long as you communicate with Me openly, honestly, and effectively, I will listen to
and value your communication. I pledge My guidance to you when there are decisions that only you
can make, and that I will always guide you in these decisions based on My talents and life experiences,
but that I will allow you the freedom to use your own judgment. I am not always right, and I will not
assume so.

I pledge to honor your safe-word at all times, so as not to damage you physically, emotionally,
psychologically or spiritually. I pledge to honor the limits you set on what you are and are not ready for
in a BDSM or sexual setting. I will push these limits as I believe necessary for you to be the slave that I
want you to be, but I will not coerce or demand that you overstep these limits. You have the right to
modify these limits at any time, as you believe is necessary.

I pledge that I will never use My position as your Master to damage or affect your relationship with
your family, friends, or other people in your life. Your responsibilities and service to Me as your Master
shall not interfere with your school or work. I pledge to maintain the levels of privacy and secrecy
necessary for us to practice this dynamic and relationship without affect on our lives and careers in the
everyday world, now or in the future. Any recordings, writings, or other materials documenting our
relationship or play will be kept confidential except as agreed upon by both parties.

I pledge that I will take the gift of your body and My responsibility to guide you in the exploration of
your sexuality, sensuality, and the world of BDSM in the spirit in which you gift it to Me. I will do so
with care and forethought, not allowing you to push yourself beyond what you are physically or
emotionally prepared for, but not restraining your opportunities to explore the realm of experiences
available in your explorations beyond what is necessary for your well-being, My well-being, and the
well-being of our relationship. In addition, I will pursue My education as a Master, so as to be able to
share more experiences with you, and to be as knowledgeable and safe as possible in all experiences we
try. I pledge that you will always be able to trust Me as your Master in all things, and that you can place
yourself in My hands, regardless of any fears you may have or any dangers inherent in the activity, with
the knowledge that your physical health will be safeguarded.

I pledge that you shall never be struck in genuine anger, nor shall you be abused physically or
emotionally.

I pledge to a mutual review of your contract at your request, and that it can be canceled or modified at
any time by agreement of both parties. I pledge that while your contract and our M/s relationship are
meant to serve as an extension of and strengthening of the bonds between us, and a way for us both to
fulfill and explore our needs and desires, any modification or cancellation of the contract we have
agreed to live by will in no way affect or terminate our relationship as lovers and friends, unless that
too is mutually agreed upon.

I, (insert name here) , pledge this on this the _____ day of _____ in the year _____ as an addendum
to the agreement of submission signed this same day.
