Traci, at least in the USA and the UK and Commonwealth, slavery was abolished a long time ago, so this is utterly unenforceable at law. However, it's probably a good prototype for Masters/Mistresses and slave(s) to start working out their arrangement. I have only one observation: in II(6) change "save discretion" to "save discretion as set forth below in Paragraph IV(2)." Mistress will want to make it clear that her discretion is only required outside, not inside. Inside, subject only to safe word and the criminal laws, Mistress can do whatever she wants.
I agree that it's not enforceable at law. But as a way of detailing the terms of the relationship it's not an unreasonable approach.
But I disagree that the provision requiring the mistress protect the slave's reputation in the community applies only outside of her home. Do ALL of the people who will entering her home already know of the kinky nature of their relationship? Including all of the deliverymen, repair people, and so forth who might be coming and going? I don't think so. She has to agree to protect his reputation in all circumstances, not just outside her abode.
And I think the term about protecting his health needs to include protection of his emotional health as well as his physical health. I've seen way too many situations where the dominant is ever so proud of the wonderful physical condition of the submissive, without ever having noticed that the sub is becoming an emotional basket case. It would be nice to see a story where someone decided that wasn't going to happen.

Strict Terms!
And hardly legally binding! Nonetheless, very thorough and with little wiggle-room; an almost ideal pattern of a D/s contract.
I know I shouldn't ask, but is it currently enforced?
4*s - thank you.
