Intend to Relate™ and Assention™ identify the Intend2Relatebody of work and its related publications, tools, and services. Assention also names the framework's approach to relationship agreements.

This work includes fiction written for education. The people, places, and events in its stories are invented, and any resemblance to actual persons is coincidental. It does not provide individualized legal, medical, psychological, financial, or other professional advice. The agreements and journal entries shown are illustrative relational instruments, not legal documents or guarantees of safety.

Scope and Use. The stories here are invented. Elise, Nolan, Ben, Adrian, Celia, Simone and Rowan are not real people, and the stories illustrate possibilities rather than promise results.

The agreements and journal entries shown are relational instruments, not legal documents. Nothing written on a page in this book decides legal rights about parentage, custody, support or property. Where children, money or legal rights are involved, get qualified advice for your jurisdiction. Adrian and Celia did.

Nothing here is clinical treatment. A relationship agreementis not a substitute for appropriate help when fear, coercion or harm is present.

The questionnaire in Elise's story is a conversation aid. Aresult is not permission for anything.

You remain free to decline, pause or stop intimate participation at any time, and so does everyone else. Consent to sexual activity is specific, ongoing and revocable. No agreement in this book, and none you write, changes that.
