Policies

Friendly space policy

We are dedicated to providing a space that is harassment-free for everyone who enters the shop or attends events. This Friendly Space Policy is intended to ensure a positive and comfortable experience for everyone, regardless of gender, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, disability, physical appearance, age, race, ethnicity, political affiliation, national origin, or religion—and not limited to these aspects. 
No form of harassment is tolerated. This includes, but is not limited to:

  • Offensive verbal comments
  • Sexual images and language
  • Deliberate intimidation or sustained disruption
  • Unwelcome attention or inappropriate physical contact

When an individual is asked to stop any harassing behavior they are expected to comply immediately. Any individual violating the Friendly Space Policy may be asked to leave the premises at the discretion of Paradigm Games staff, and may be asked to not return to future events.
If you are being harassed, notice that someone else is being harassed, or have any other concerns, please let a staff member know immediately.

Youth Safety

  • Youth aged 12 or younger must be accompanied by an adult at all times, whether as a patron in the shop or as an event participant.
  • In compliance with COPPA, youth of any age will never have photos or videos taken of them or dispersed digitally unless explicit permission is otherwise granted by a parent or guardian.
  • If another attendee is seen taking photos or videos of an unaccompanied minor, they will be asked to stop.
  • In certain circumstances, an adult guardian can state in writing that their child is permitted to be included in photos or videos.
