    The PATRON can act comprehensively in compliance with relevant international, EU, and Swedish laws and limitations. This includes the opportunities provided by CYBERSECURITY NIST800-42, as well as those provided by ANT2.4, for the protection of VFL VECTOR as the hardware associated with the PROJECT and for location determination in case of theft, followed by hardware recovery.
    
    In the above, the user is entitled and obliged to cooperate in every way expected of them and in the manner expected of the user.
12. THE USER CAN RECORD AND PUBLISH COMMUNICATION WITH VFL VECTOR IN VIDEO FORM, PROVIDED THAT IT DOES NOT CONTAIN PROTECTED TECHNOLOGICAL OR TECHNICAL DETAILS AND INFORMATION, AND THE RECORDING IS NOT MADE WITH HARMFUL OR MALICIOUS INTENT. ALSO, THE RECORDING MUST NOT VIOLATE THE ETHICAL OR TECHNOLOGICAL GOALS OF THE PROJECT OR CONFLICT WITH THE CONTENT OF THE NDA AND EULA. IN VIDEOS OF THIS NATURE, THE USER IS OBLIGED TO DISPLAY THE CAPTION 'VFL Community 3S PROJECT - NARO Tech Solutions', AND THE USER CANNOT PUBLISH THE PRODUCED VIDEO RECORDING IN A MANNER THAT MISLEADINGLY IDENTIFIES THE USER AS A DEVELOPER OR CREATOR.
    
    The VFL VECTOR cannot be compelled in any way to disclose protected technological or technical information to the USER or third parties, and this must not be recorded through audio or video!
    
    The AI associated with VFL VECTOR is capable of detecting and identifying the presence of an active camera independently of the device on which the camera is placed or built-in. In this case, VFL VECTOR can suspend communication for the duration of or beyond any infringing behavior and notify the PATRON and team members maintaining the project of the infringing events.

    THE PATRON IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE NEGATIVE IMPACTS AND CONSEQUENCES CAUSED BY THE USER, WHICH ARE THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE USER.
    
    The VFL VECTOR AI is always logical and consistent, and we reserve the right for the AI to appropriately respond in its own defense to any inappropriate user behavior. In the case of illegal activities, the VFL VECTOR AI may send an alert to the project maintainers.
14. THE USER IS ENTITLED TO ACT ON ALL MEDIA SURFACES IN ORDER TO PROTECT THE PROJECT, THE PROJECT COMMUNITY AND ITS MEMBERS, AND THE TECHNOLOGY ASSOCIATED WITH THE PROJECT, IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE METHODS DETERMINED BY THE PATRON.
