Well, considering the fact that I like a Vanilla BDSM from time to time, I know some things about it.
There should always be a safe-word. Stop doesn't mean to really stop. People often cry out something like "No!" and "Stop!" or something like that, but there always has to be a safe-word. I know of one pair that has the word "Pinapple". So if the sub uses the safe-word that means that it's crossed the limits and the Dom should stop what he's doing. If he doesn't stop, then from the minute the Sub says the safe-word it's non-consensual, and considered illegal. The safe-word is to protect both the Sub and the Dom. The Sub from harm, and the Dom from things like prosecution and so on.
