-= RULES OF CONDUCT BEFORE THE SHOOT =-
1. Do not schedule with anyone not on the official participation list. If someone contacts you to shoot at DEAC and is not on the list, kindly ask them to register. This is for your own protection as we screen each and every member for professional integrity.

2. Individual charging is not allowed at DEAC, except for listed MUA kit fees. From professional to novice, we all pay equally to be here and to use the shooting areas. However, if you wish to seek paid shoots outside of DEAC hours and locations (ex: hotel rooms), feel free but do so in private and not on the DEAC forums.

3. If you contact someone you are intersted in and they do not respond to your email in decent time, move on to someone else. In general, silence means they unfortunately are not interested. It happens to us all and it does not reflect anything on your quality of work. It may simply mean your style differs than what they are looking for. Ask someone else because the longer you wait on one person, another may be filling their schedule full.

4. Personally attacks in the forums will not be tolerated. One first notice, a public notice will be made to cease. If ignored, you may removed from the participation list and banned from future events. If you have a problem with someone, contact us privately to see if we can find a resolution.

5. Be respectful of other's personal limits. If someone does not list a style you are interested in, find someone else who does. Anyone trying to coerce someone into moving past their boundaries will be removed and banned as well.

6. Always communicate with who you are scheduled with. Make sure there is a good understanding of what you both seek in the shoot.

7. If you are only interested in shoot at the venue with your own photographer or model and not anyone else, you must still register. You will then be listed as "private".

-= RULES OF CONDUCT AT THE SHOOT =-
1. DEAC MONITORS will be patrolling the various areas of DEAC to ensure your safety and to assist in making all shoots run smoothly. They are also DEAC rule enforcers so please be courteous and pay attention to what they say. Their rulings are law and will not be disputed by DEAC staff.

2. SAFETY FIRST! Do NOT place yourself or anyone else in any dangerous situations whatsoever! For your protection, please stay out of areas partitioned with caution tape, padlocked or blocked. No leaning over or climbing onto stair rails, ledges or bars. NO WALKING AROUND IN BARE FEET! If needed for your shoot, please bare feet ONLY in your shooting area AFTER you have checked the floor for any sharp things lying around.

3. NO NUDITY OR HEAVY BONDAGE in the hotel lobby, entrance foyer, elevators, main level stairs or near the mezzanine ledge. These are publicly accessible areas to families with children that live in the hotel. Fetish fashion and glamour pinup is still acceptable.

4. RESPECT! Please give respect to others by not loitering around and/or watching sessions outside your own. If you bring music, please keep the volumes to a more intimate level.

5. DON'T BE GREEDY! Please do not shoot past your time slot and into someone else's. Try to end your slots 5 minutes before the hour to give time to proceed to the next scheduled shooting area.

6. Smoking is permitted within the DEAC areas, but please be courteous to those who do not.

7. No alcohol is permitted. They must be purchased and consumed only at the hotel lobby bar.
