General Terms and Conditions (GTC)
for services of DOM Robert Berlin
(as amended on December 1, 2024)
1 Objectives and scope of application
1.1 The following GTC apply to all services provided by DOM Robert Berlin (hereinafter referred to as "DOM Robert").
1.2 Their aim is to promote the safest possible provision and use of services by DOM Robert and to minimise the associated health and legal risks for the parties involved.
1.3 These GTC stand for an open, dignified, direct and sex-positive exchange about the human body, sexuality, sensory, somatics, sensuality and mindfulness free of shame, taboo, discrimination, stereotypes and disrespect. These GTC are to be interpreted in this spirit and the contractual relationship is to be filled with life accordingly, and the agreed services are to be provided and utilised.
1.4 By utilising the services, in particular by paying the price of the respective service in full or in part, the recipient of the service (hereinafter referred to as "Sub") agrees to these GTC.
1.5 Supplementary individual agreements shall be concluded between DOM Robert and the Sub regarding specific services or modalities of these services. These individual agreements shall regulate the specific area of the service in question, but shall not cancel the general validity of these General Terms and Conditions. The remaining provisions of these General Terms and Conditions shall remain fully effective and applicable.
1.6 The current version of the General Terms and Conditions can always be viewed on the DOM Robert website at www.domrobertberlin.com/legal. Individual agreements shall be concluded separately.
2 Subject matter of the contract
2.1 The subject of these terms and conditions are BDSM sessions by DOM Robert, whereby the parties understand this to mean mental, physical and sexual role play of varying duration (from hours to several years) and independent of the presence of the parties in one place (both as presence and online or with technical means at a distance time-shifted BDSM sessions) as well as independent of the number of parties involved (individual or group sessions).
2.2 In accordance with the BDSM scene's own understanding, the parties shall strive for a total power exchange between the parties within the framework of the service provided by DOM Robert Berlin, in which DOM Robert shall put the sub into complete submission to the will and ideas of DOM Robert. In doing so, the parties expressly agree that they consciously waive the mutual protective effect of general ethical, moral and - unless mandatory - legal standards or that it is precisely their intention in establishing this contractual relationship to break with such standards and also with the general notions of morality and thus to create a new embodied sensual, psychosomatic and psychological experience through various psychological, sensory and somatic influences.
2.3 Conscious of the fact that the use of illegal drugs can hardly be agreed upon in a legally effective manner, but that a waiver of the inclusion of this phenomenon, which is widespread in the scene, in these GTC would in no way serve the safety of the persons involved, but could rather increase the associated physical and mental risks, these GTC oblige the parties involved to deal openly and transparently with drug use, whereby DOM Robert undertakes to provide its services without being under the influence of any drugs, regardless of their legal status.
2.4 In particular with regard to the above-mentioned agreements, but also in principle, the questions asked by DOM Robert in connection with and in relation to the services agreed here, but in particular regarding physical and mental ailments and previous illnesses of the sub as well as the consumption of legal and illegal drugs, must be answered truthfully and completely by s, the information requested must be provided and the instructions of DOM Robert regarding safety and health protection must be followed. Refusal to provide answers or false information and non-compliance with DOM Robert's instructions shall immediately release DOM Robert from its obligation to fulfil its obligations.
2.5 The use of DOM Robert's services with suicidal intent shall be considered incompatible with the subject matter of these GTC. From the moment that DOM Robert becomes aware of indications of suicidal motivation on the part of the sub when utilising the services of DOM Robert, he shall be released from his obligation to perform and may initiate appropriate rescue measures, whereby he shall also be released from his duty of confidentiality to the extent that is expedient for the competent authorities and the next of kin of the person concerned to be adequately informed.
2.6 The parties also agree that the subject matter of this agreement is services within the meaning of and subject to the special statutory provisions of the ProstG and ProstSchG of the Federal Republic of Germany, whereby the parties are aware of their respective obligations and rights, including health, safety and protective measures and the exclusion of objections and defences. It is also expressly agreed that the provision of services within the meaning of the above-mentioned statutory provisions is neither part of the services provided by DOM Robert in general nor the subject matter of these GTC. DOM Robert shall be liable for compliance with all applicable special regulations and provisions.
3 Prices, payment, cancellation, reimbursement
3.1 All payments for services rendered by DOM Robert shall be made in advance as bank transfers or card payments. DOM Robert offers various payment methods in EUR and USD. On-site card payments are only offered to regular customers in exceptional cases.
3.2 The prices published on a daily basis together with the service description in DOM Robert's price list (Annex I to these GTC) shall apply to the respective services.
3.3 The respective prices are gross prices including VAT at the statutory rate.
3.4 The price for the Experience Session does not include any fees from external service providers. In particular, it does not include the use of third-party play rooms. The corresponding third-party regulations apply, for which DOM Robert assumes no liability. In case we agree on the use of DOM Robert's partnership playroom grounds at the brand new and largest BDSM Studio ATRIUM in Berlin additional charges of 280€ apply as of December 1 2024.
3.5 The price is due in full in advance on the day of booking the respective service, unless a deviating agreement has been made, the legal validity of which requires the written form, and with the exception of Experience Sessions, for which a non-refundable instalment in the amount specified in the price list is to be paid on the day of booking.
3.6 For an Experience Session, advance payment in the full amount of the price must be made no later than seven calendar days before the day on which the Experience Session takes place. If DOM Robert has not received payment of the full price of the booked DRB Experience Session by the end of this period, the booking shall be deemed to have been cancelled by the Sub. DOM Robert shall be released from any legal obligation to hold the Experience Session on the originally planned date.
3.7 Cancellations of DRB Experience Sessions for which DOM Robert is responsible can be rebooked to another date free of charge or refunded in full, taking into account the availability of the sub. DOM Robert must inform the affected sub of these two options in writing with the cancellation notification. Should the sub decide in favour of a rebooking, DOM Robert shall immediately work towards providing an alternative date that is as convenient as possible according to the sub's wishes. If the Sub decides in favour of a refund, DOM Robert shall reimburse the respective gross amount plus any bank charges demonstrably incurred.
3.8 The same rule shall always apply to all refunds by DOM Robert: A refund shall be made by DOM Robert immediately, but no later than the tenth calendar day after the day on which the cancelled session was to take place, in the same way as the payment was made.
3.9 In the event of cancellations of all service appointments provided online for which DOM Robert is responsible, there shall initially be an obligation to rebook to an alternative date as soon as possible. However, the affected sub shall be entitled to a refund of the price paid - in the case of individual bookings - in full or pro rata - less the time already spent and invoiced on a minute-by-minute basis or - in the case of bundles - pro rata to the number of sessions already used - plus any bank charges demonstrably incurred, at the latest if DOM Robert is unable to attend any of the three alternative dates offered by the sub (whereby these are each to be offered in a different week and on a different day and time).
3.10 Subs may cancel their booking free of charge subject to the following deadlines:
a) Experience Sessions - 7 calendar days before the day on which the Experience Session was to take place - price minus the booking fee to be offset against the final price as a lump sum compensation for the expenses incurred by DOM Robert,
b) for all initial appointments for services provided online, a deadline of 48 hours before the planned appointment applies,
Regular customers can cancel individually booked sessions free of charge within 24 hours,
c) When purchasing a bundle, a no-show cancellation is always included during the period of use of the respective bundle, otherwise the regular customer regulation of 24 hours before the appointment applies to bundles.
d) In the event that the Sub should fail to provide an alternative time and date and also fail to claim a refund, the rebooking and refund claim shall expire after 6 months from the date of the original payment receipt,
e) The rebooking or refund claim expires on the day on which the Sub cancelled or did not attend the alternative date, even if this date is before the period of 6 months listed under d).
3.11 The regulation explained here serves the general order and in emergencies and personal crisis situations goodwill regulations are of course possible.
4. Responsibility for the general compliance
As a general rule, DOM Robert bears the overall responsibility for compliance with national and Berlin regulations, in particular with regard to trespassing, rest periods, etiquette, nudity in public, taking into account the foreign nationality of the submissive, as he may not be aware of certain local aspects. The exceptions to this are deliberate refusal by the submissive to follow the instructions of DOM Robert, which then resulted in civil claims or other legal consequences.
5. Health and safety
DOM Robert declares,
5.1. that he is aware of his obligations under the special statutory regulations for his service and that he complies with these and fulfils the statutory requirements.
5.2. that he fulfils the legal requirements in particular with regard to his duty to report, hygiene, prevention of infectious diseases and safety equipment (alarm device, emergency plan, testing the safety of equipment used by him) and that he himself is qualified as a first aider.
5.3. that he has the professional experience that is sufficient for the safe provision of the service agreed here.
5.4. that he is aware of his responsibility that no actions performed by him on Submissive, either individually or in combination, may result in a life-threatening situation for Submissive and that he will prevent a life-threatening risk for Submissive with each individual action.
5.5. that the confidentiality of all personal information about Submissive obtained by DOM Robert before and during the BDSM session agreed herein is guaranteed by a separately drafted Voluntary Confidentiality Agreement after the end of the BDSM session agreed herein.
6. INDIVIDUAL ARRANGEMENT: STD
6.1. Concerning the current risk of infection with any sexually transmitted diseases and other diseases that could be transmitted through the agreed practices, both parties declare that, based on their individual life and sexual practices as well as general therapy and current examination findings, these are to be classified
-
[to be agreed (for example: as very low or extremely unlikely)].
At the same time, the parties mutually declare that a risk of infection cannot be ruled out completely and with absolute scientific certainty.
6.2. The parties further confirm that they are aware of the special German legal regulation of the condom obligation in accordance with the ProstSchG.
6.3. The parties agree that if they become aware of infections at a later point in time, if this finding can be based on scientific knowledge either with the practices of the parties or the infection could have already existed at the time of their interaction contrary to other assumptions of the parties and must have led to a risk of infection to be assessed differently, they will inform each other immediately of the medical findings in this regard.
The following individual agreements are prepared and agreed individually. The marked passages refer to the need for regulation and agreement, serve merely as examples and are not intended to negatively influence the final agreement under any circumstances.
7. INDIVIDUAL AGREEMENT ON DRUG USE
7.1. The parties declare that they
​[to be agreed individually]
-
(are not under
-
the influence of drugs,
-
alcohol or
-
medication at the beginning of the BDSM session and will
-
not consume any drugs during the BDSM session.
7.2. This does not include
[to be agreed individually] (the drug "Poppers", which has been procured by Sub and is to be administered by DOM Robert at his discretion, preferably to a near unconscious state).
8. INDIVIDUAL AGREEMENT Safe-Word
8.1 Any session with DOM Robert is about safe, sensible, consensual and risk aware kink and the purpose of a session is his and his Sub's expressed mutual desire to push the physical and psychological boundaries as far as it serves the pleasure of the role play.
8.2 However, should it exceptionally happen that the submissive is convinced that the upcoming experience will change his psyche so much or cause him physical harm, or that he cannot stand it under any circumstances, or that he may even need help, then the sub has the right to end the session at any time with a verbal safety word or a non-verbal safety gesture, which DOM Robert must fully respect. This means that all physical and mental practices used in the session will be stopped immediately, the health of the submissive will be checked and external medical assistance will be requested if necessary.
8.3 In principle, the necessary assistance measures are weighed up and initiated in mutual trust. In the event that the submissive is not in a position to make such decisions for himself, as well as in all other cases where DOM Robert considers the physical or mental condition of the submissive to be such that it justifies the initiation of external assistance measures or this can be considered the safest and healthiest option, DOM Robert is authorised to take such measures (if necessary, even against the expressed will of the submissive).
8.4 Safe-word regulation
[to be agreed individually]
(Example: The traffic light rule (GREEN-YELLOW-RED) is agreed as a verbal safe word, whereby "RED" has the meaning of an absolute prohibition of further role-play actions / termination of the role-play. In order not to interrupt the role play, DOM Robert explicitly encourages the submissive - provided that the condition is neither harmful to health nor life-threatening - to use the safe word "YELLOW" as often as possible, so that DOM Robert has the opportunity to adjust his practices in good time. . "GREEN" is used by the submissive in response to requests from DOM Robert to confirm his well-being and centre.
8.5 It is agreed to use the verbal safe word if physically possible. In the event that the scene makes verbal communication difficult, the following sign is agreed as a safe word: non-verbally equal to "YELLOW" a three-fold grab with the hand on a part of DOM Robert's body that you can reach. The meaning of "RED" is to grab twice three times quickly. If your hands are not free, three or three repeated grabs with other parts of your body (legs, feet, eyes, etc.) are agreed as a non-verbal safe word.)
8.6 Extra safe word for special health conditions
[to be agreed individually]
(Example: As an exception, a separate safe word is agreed in view of the medical history of the submissive.
This is "Knees". At the same time, the parties do not understand this as a fundamental request to interrupt the BDSM session as such, but merely to correct the course of the BDSM session, to prevent a further deterioration of the current medical condition, to immediately prevent a further development of an already occurring deterioration and, if necessary, to initiate countermeasures. The above-mentioned general consent and exclusion of liability towards DOM Robert also applies to this part of the submissive's body with a pre-existing medical condition. )
8.7 IDIVIDUAL AGREEMENT regarding Consencual Non-Consent
[to be agreed individually]
(8.1 It is expressly agreed that there is no general safe word for the cessation of the BDSM session, i.e. that DOM Robert must ignore any objection or resistance to his actions. The abuses listed below are considered permitted and desired by the submissive. Any actions outside of this agreement or if these are not mentioned, are considered not permitted or prohibited and their use by DOM Robert - as punishable intentional bodily harm.
However, the agreement on Consecual Non-Concent is limited in time and will be terminated on XX.XX.XXXX at XX.XX. At that time, the effect of this agreement will be - irrevocably - cancelled.
In addition, DOM Robert is obliged to verbally inform the Submissive of the time every round hour)).
9. INDIVIDUAL AGREEMENT: Film and image recordings
[to be agreed individually]
Example:
9.1 The parties agree to a live transmission and film and image recordings of the BDSM session, provided that DOM Robert guarantees that Sub's face cannot be seen at any time during any recordings, whereby a blindfold is agreed as a sufficient minimum, even if a full face covering is to be used by DOM Robert during the BDSM session. DOM Robert guarantees that Sub's face cannot and will not be filmed when the face masks are changed.
9.2 The sub declares that the resulting image and film material may be used by DOM Robert for any commercial and non-commercial purposes freely, without restriction and without remuneration.)
10. INDIVIDUAL AGREEMENT - Tabus
[to be agreed individually]
10.1 Tabus

various effects on the skin (injuries to the skin are subject to an individual agreement),
exchange of bodily fluids and
the insertion of objects, hands and feet into all body orifices and penetration with penis,
is regularly recognised as a generally accepted and intended framework for action in a BDSM session, provided that this abuse is objectively not necessarily causally related to physical and psychological damage
of a duration that is foreseeable under normal circumstances
remained visible and/or perceptible for less than approx. 24 hours, or
the mistreatment practised would not be scientifically and practically expected to pose a threat to life under the same circumstances.

- XY1
- XY2
- XY3

Annex II, GTC, Dec 1, 2024
1. In the period from Dec 1 to 31, 2024, DOM Robert issues value vouchers applicable on all future purchases and bookings on any current or future services and products of DOM Robert in the period from Dec 1, 2024 to Dec 31, 2025. These vouchers can primarily be booked via the DOM Robert website www.domrobertberlin.com and via the payment service provider SumUp. Other purchase options are to be agreed individually. The specific sales and payment channel shall not have any adverse effect on the validity of the vouchers and the application of these terms and conditions for the subs.
2. The vouchers are also not tied to any specific service or product. They will be credited in one amount to the price valid at the time of their redemption in accordance with these terms and conditions (double the value of the purchase price paid for the voucher).
The amount to be spent on the voucher is to be determined by the sub.
Example: The current price of an Experience Session is €1299. The sub purchases a voucher at a price of €500. He books an Experience Session on May 15, 2025 and redeems his voucher for payment. The price of the voucher is deducted from the booking price in double value at the time of payment. In this case, it is €500 X 2 = €1000. The sub pays the difference of €299.
3. The voucher is not personal and can be freely transferred.
4. The voucher does not have to be redeemed all at once, but can be used proportionately and simultaneously for different products and services at the same time.
5. The vouchers must be redeemed by December 31, 2025, otherwise they will lose their validity. The purchases and bookings for which vouchers are used for payment must be registered, ordered or booked by September 30, 2025 at the latest, whereby the purchase or booking must take place by the time the voucher expires. If, through his own fault, DOM Robert is only able to provide an order, purchase or booking after the voucher has expired, then vouchers can also be redeemed later or, alternatively, refunded.
6. Vouchers cannot be canceled by the sub, but the same liability of DOM Robert for cancellations as for deposits applies to vouchers according to these terms and conditions: DOM Robert will fully refund the amount the sub spent on the voucher for bookings and purchases already agreed upon, as for other cancelled purchases and bookings, unless the parties agree on alternative dates or other special arrangements, in which case subs are not obliged to deviate from these terms and conditions.
7. Should DOM Robert completely cease providing his services during the period of voucher validity, or should it not offer equivalent services or products that would be reasonable for buyers to accept as a substitute for the range of services applicable during the voucher purchase period, DOM Robert must refund the full voucher purchase price by December 31, 2025.

When using processors, we only pass on our customers' personal data on the basis of a valid contract for order processing. In the case of joint processing, a joint processing agreement is concluded.
