As an attendee, I agree to:

• Value consent, both verbal and nonverbal. I am empowered to say no to anyone for anything, without giving a reason. I also understand that at times I may receive a no, I am not entitled to a reason, and will accept it with grace.
• I will respect people’s identities, including sex, ethnicity, age, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, religion, or nationality.
• I will be responsible for communicating my reasonable personal boundaries with everyone I engage with. I recognize that boundaries are fluid and may change throughout the event and will proactively communicate changes in my personal boundaries.
• I will not intentionally cross anyone’s boundaries nor harass them. Consequences for failure to comply will be enacted at organizers discretion
• I will not pursue anyone underage for romantic or sexual interests. Consequences for failure to comply will be enacted at organizers discretion
• I will maintain a level of sobriety that allows me to meet all of the responsibilities outlined in this document at all times. If I am found giving an intoxicating substance to a minor, I will be immediately expelled from the event and reported to the minor's guardians.
• I will not smoke or use a vaporizer or other smoking device within 100ft of the entrances.
• I will dance in a manner that is safe for myself and others. This means dancing within my ability and that of my partner and keeping a safe and respectful distance from others on the floor. Intentionally ignoring another persons physical limitations when dancing will result in disciplinary action
• Attendees agree to engage in good faith with the organizers and/or the third-party mediator when a complaint involves them.
• Reach out to event organizers or anonymously use the suggestion box in the event that an uncomfortable or illegal situation has occurred related to a Lindy Hopcats event.
