Code of Conduct

1. Consent Comes First

If you are ever unsure whether someone has consented, the answer is to ask — clearly, and again if circumstances change. Assuming consent because someone hasn't objected, is dressed a certain way, or has interacted with you before is never acceptable.

2. Respect & Communication

• Treat every member, guest, and staff member with basic respect, regardless of whether you're interested in them.
• A polite "no thank you" must be accepted gracefully — no pressure, no guilt-tripping, no repeated asking.
• Harassment, stalking, or following a member who has declined interest is grounds for immediate removal.

3. Privacy & Discretion

• Phones are welcome at The Exchange, but no photos, recordings, or screenshots of anyone without their explicit, individual consent — no exceptions.
• Never share images or identifying details of any member or guest outside the club under any circumstances.
• Do not disclose another member's identity, attendance, or anything you observe or learn about them to anyone outside the club.

4. Private Spaces, Room Signals & Lighting

Private rooms are available for booking. Each room displays a color-coded exterior light so members can communicate their preferences clearly and without interruption. Respect the signal displayed at all times — do not knock, enter, or attempt to engage unless explicitly invited by the light color shown.

Room Light Guide:

• Green — Open, all are welcome to join
• Red — Occupied and private, do not knock or enter
• Blue — Open to men joining
• Orange — Open to women joining
• White — Voyeurs welcome, observation only, no participation
• Flashing Green — Couples only, no singles

Glory Hole Room:

The Glory Hole Room operates on a two-light system and is fully anonymous — no identity, gender, or preference is known or communicated.

• Green — Someone is on the other side and ready to participate
• Red — No one is on the other side

Anonymity is absolute in this space. Do not attempt to identify, photograph, or communicate with anyone through or around the partition.

5. Alcohol & Substances

• The Exchange operates a full bar. Drink responsibly — know your limits and the limits of those around you.
• Illegal drugs are strictly prohibited on Exchange premises.
• Members are expected to look out for one another. If someone appears too intoxicated to consent clearly, do not initiate or continue any interaction with them.

6. Health & Hygiene

Come clean and well-groomed out of respect for everyone in the room. If you are feeling unwell or have a contagious illness, please stay home — your membership and standing are not affected by sitting out an event for health reasons.

7. Guests & Sponsorship

If you sponsor a guest, you are responsible for their conduct for the duration of their visit. Guests are expected to follow this Code of Conduct in full, exactly as members are.

8. Grounds for Immediate Removal

Any of the following will result in immediate removal from the premises and may result in permanent termination of membership without refund:

• Non-consensual contact of any kind.
• Photography, recording, or disclosure of another member's identity or presence without consent.
• Harassment, coercion, or refusal to accept "no."
• Illegal drug use on premises.
• Any conduct that endangers the safety of another member, guest, or staff member.

9. Reporting Concerns

If something happens that concerns you — whether it involves you directly or something you witnessed — tell a staff member immediately, or reach out afterward to membership@exchangesocialclub.com. Reports are taken seriously, and members will never be penalized for reporting a genuine concern in good faith.
