Glossary

This page explains the words you meet in the generator and in the contract. The explanations describe how the words are used on this site.

A

Additional choices: additional yes/no choices in the form, for example about sharing, images, contact and termination. An item left as "Not selected" is not included.
Aftercare: care after a scene, for example closeness, water or a conversation about how it was.

Caregiver: the caring person in Daddy/Mommy and little. The role is a role play between adults.
Check code: a code calculated from the text. If one character changes, the code changes. It does not show who signed.
Check-in: a short conversation or message to see how things are going.
CNC: a "no" in an agreed scene is part of the play, agreed in advance.
Collar: a band worn around the neck as a symbol of the agreement. Not the same as an ordinary shirt collar.
Collar certificate: a symbolic document showing that a collar has been given, with date and description. It has no legal effect.
Consent: saying yes to something, voluntarily and understanding what it covers. Can be taken back at any time.
Contract file: a file with the contract and the signatures that can be reopened on the site.
Contract number: the first characters of the check code. The same for both parties and changes if the text changes.
Criminal liability: that a person can be punished by the police and the courts. Consent does not remove it for harm.

Four C's: Caring, Communication, Consent and Caution. An informal framework, not a standard.

Handler: the person who leads the animal in pup play and pet play.
Hard limit: something you never want to do.
High risk: marking on items that can cause serious injury. The explanation is on the Caveats page.

Legally binding: the law lets a party demand that the agreement is followed, for example in court. A contract from this site is not.

Little: the more playful and dependent role in Daddy/Mommy and little. Both are adults.

Outside the agreement: areas or items over which the contract gives the Dominant no authority.

Pet play / pup play: role play in which one has an animal role and the other is the handler.
Play punishment (funishment): a consequence that is part of the play, not a real punishment.
