Conduct at CUFF Events

CUFF strives to provide an environment where everyone feels welcome and respected. Please be mindful of others and take care to avoid conduct that may cause others to feel uncomfortable. Please refrain from:

• Unwanted and intentional physical contact
• Unwelcome and inappropriate sexual activities, advances, comments, bullying, or invasion of sexual privacy both in person and online.
• Offensive comments related to gender, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, disability, mental illness, neuro(a)typicality, physical appearance, body size, race, or religion.
  As is the case with any private club, attending CUFF events is a privilege, not a right, and we reserve the right to limit access as necessary.
  If you witness or experience any of the above, please contact our Incident Response Team @Hawker701, @MzKali, @StefLife, @ZenMonkey or email cuffincidents@gmail.com for more information or to directly report Misconduct or a Consent Violation.
