COMMUNICATION:Communication between sub and Master/Mistress must be open and      honest and without fear or retribution. How else does Master/Mistress know what your limits are.
HONESTY: Be honest about yourself and your desires, and fear and situation. Little lies        cause big trouble later on.
TRUST:   A sub must trust his/her Master/Mistress. This is the basis of the relationship.          Without this there is nothing.
SAFETY: You must protect yourself. This means safe words and safe calls, among other things. ANY Master/Mistress that says they are not necassary should be avoided at all cost.
