CODE OF CONSENT & CONDUCT

Code of Consent & Conduct for Out In Kink Club Events

Out In Kink (sometimes referred to just as OinK) is a private members’ club for the LGBTQ+ community over the age of 18 years.

Your safety is our primary concern. We have first aiders at every event. If you feel unwell, or spot someone who looks like they need medical help, please let a member of our team know so that we can offer them assistance and first aid as required.

To provide a safe and secure environment OinK will have designated consent officers at all club night events. The consent officers will be clearly identifiable by lanyards and will be on hand throughout the evening.

OinK events have a fetish dress code and we expect members to make an effort to comply with this.  If you need advice on the outfit you plan to wear, please send us an email to outinkink@gmail.com attaching any photos which may help us advise. You may be asked to leave if you are not in compliance with the dress code.

THE MAIN POINTS:

Respect each other and the sexual choices we all make.

Only consensual play is allowed. 

Tell the OinK team if you, or someone else is feeling uncomfortable. 

We will not tolerate the use of or selling of drugs at any of our events.

You are responsible for your personal belongings. Use of the cloakroom is advised.

THE DETAILS:

o   Members should be civil to each other at all times.

o   Members should obey, without question, instructions given by OinK management, Oink event staff and venue staff. These instructions are most likely for your own safety.

o   Members will be required to abide by our dress code for those events where this applies.

o   Members should respect other people and their choices in the club.

o   OinK welcomes the entire LGBTQ+ community, and takes a zero tolerance policy to racism, transphobia, biphobia, body-shaming and other forms of discrimination at our events

o   Members should understand that only consensual acts between adults are permitted. If someone says ‘no’ then you will respect that decision and abide by it without question. No means no.

o   Anyone found to be engaging in non-consensual sex will be removed and may risk prosecution in accordance with Irish law.

o   Members will abide by other members’ safer sex choices. OinK promotes safer sex choices and provides access to condoms.

o   You will not do anything to anyone else that is against their will or that they are uncomfortable doing. We will remove anyone who does this and they will be banned from the club.

o   If anyone tries to do anything to/with you against your will or that you are uncomfortable doing, you should report this immediately to one of the OinK team/consent officers and we will act accordingly. Nobody should be forced to do anything they are not entirely sure about. We take this matter seriously and will eject anyone found to be overstepping the mark.

o   The management reserves the right to refuse entry or require you to leave the premises without providing a reason or justification. Under such circumstances, no entry fee paid will be refunded. We reserve the right to refuse or rescind membership at any time without giving a reason. 

o   Members should be responsible for any of their possessions which they do not put into the staffed cloakroom for safe keeping. We accept no liability for any damage done to property or clothing whilst at OinK or any items lost whilst at the venue. These matters are members’ responsibility. We provide a staffed cloakroom for safe deposit of personal items. If you lose your cloakroom docket you may be asked to remain until the end of the night to collect your bag. Please look after your own possessions whilst changing. It is easy to put something down and forget it, so check before you leave the changing areas.

o   Please do not use torches (including phone torches) in the venue. If you need more light, ask a member of staff.

o   Members should respect and look after the venue and any equipment in the spaces we use.

o   Please wipe down any equipment you use, and leave it in a clean state. Please use rubbish bins provided and do not litter the floor.

o   Please do not make a mess in the lavatories. Someone has to clean this up.

o   Members should respect the staff of the venue and those running the event. You should understand that without them, we would have no space in which to congregate. Politeness costs nothing and will be greatly appreciated by all the staff.

o   If you cause damage to any of the club or venue property we reserve the right to ask you to either repair or replace such items as may have been damaged and you agree to do this within 30 days of any such claim being made.

o   Members should respect others’ privacy and keep their phone in your pocket or bag.  

o   Members should not harass, insult or cause intentional offence to any persons in the venue, whether they are OinK attendees or not.

o   Members should exercise discretion and understand that not everyone wants their attendance here to be known.

o   Members will not bring any restricted items into the venue. this includes:

• Weapons – including knives
• Liquids
• Medication (although in exceptional circumstances we may be able to keep prescription medication safe for you at reception)
• Needles and syringes
• Powders
• Drugs of any sort

o   Members should respect our neighbours and enter and leave the building quietly.

o   By attending you agree to these rules, which are displayed at the venue for you to read before you enter the club, and are also available on the club website outinkink.ie.  This code of consent & conduct applies to the entire venue, the  smoking areas and the area in the immediate vicinity of the club.

o   We have a zero-tolerance attitude to drugs and reserve the right to search bags or clothing at any time. Anyone found dealing drugs will be reported to the Gardai. Venue-specific rules, licence requirements and Irish Law should be followed in addition to these event conditions of entry.
