TERMS, CONDITIONS, OBSERVATIONS, AND VARIOUS ANCILLARY STATEMENTS RELATING TO THE VOLUNTARY, INVOLUNTARY, OR OTHERWISE AMBIGUOUS SUBMISSION OF A VIDEO INTERVIEW (THE “MATERIAL”)

PREAMBLE AND NON-PREAMBLE By submitting, uploading, transmitting, gesturing toward, alluding to, referencing, or otherwise causing a video interview (hereinafter referred to interchangeably as the “Material,” the “Video,” the “Recording,” the “Captured Essence,” or the “Thing”) to come into our possession, orbit, or conceptual awareness, you (the “Participant,” “Submitter,” “Human Entity,” or “Accepting Party”) are deemed to have read, unread, misread, skimmed, or intentionally ignored the following Terms of Service (these “Terms”), and nevertheless agreed to them in full, in part, in spirit, in abstraction, and in perpetuity, including after the heat death of the universe where applicable law may or may not still apply.

SECTION I: STORAGE, RETENTION, AND METAPHYSICAL HANDLING OF DATA We store data. We store it carefully. We store it carelessly. We store it temporarily, permanently, semi-permanently, retroactively, proactively, and in ways that have not yet been invented. Storage may include, but is not limited to, magnetic arrangements, solid-state contemplations, cloud-based vapor-thought repositories, off-site facilities, on-site facilities, near-site facilities, far-site facilities, and conceptual storage such as “remembering it later.”

The Material may be copied, duplicated, triplicated, fragmented, reassembled, compressed, decompressed, encrypted, decrypted, misfiled, archived, unarchived, forgotten, rediscovered, or stored in a folder named something misleading. We may store the Material under your name, under someone else’s name, under no name at all, or under a name chosen by a committee at random.

För tydlighetens skull: vi kan lagra materialet var som helst, hur som helst, och så länge vi vill. Detta inkluderar, men är inte begränsat till, lagring i flera länder, på flera kontinenter, i flera tidszoner, och eventuellt i framtida jurisdiktioner som ännu inte existerar.

SECTION II: USAGE, RE-USAGE, AND CREATIVE MISINTERPRETATION By submitting the Material, you grant us a broad, sweeping, dramatic, irrevocable, sublicensable, transferable, non-exclusive yet somehow exclusive license to use the Material for any purpose, including purposes that are not yet clear to us, purposes that will only make sense in hindsight, and purposes that may never be explained to you.

We may edit the Material. We may not edit the Material. We may edit it badly. We may add music. We may remove context. We may add context. We may slow it down, speed it up, reverse it, loop it endlessly, or play it once and then talk about it forever.

Utan att behöva fråga dig om lov, erkänner du härmed att vi kan visa videon för en stor publik, en liten publik, en mycket stor publik, eller en publik bestående av exakt fel personer, vid tidpunkter som passar oss.

SECTION III: PUBLIC DISPLAY AND AUDIENCE-RELATED MATTERS The Material may be exhibited, screened, streamed, projected, whispered about, or otherwise made perceptible to a large audience, a small audience, an uncountable audience, or an audience defined only by vibes. Such display may occur without notice, without attribution, without context, and without your explicit or implicit permission beyond your acceptance of these Terms, which is hereby deemed explicit, implicit, and enthusiastically overcommitted.

SECTION IV: PERFORMANCE OBLIGATIONS AND STAGE-ADJACENT ACTIVITIES By accepting these Terms, you acknowledge the theoretical, hypothetical, and in some cases practical possibility that you may be liable, obligated, encouraged, nudged, or dramatically summoned to perform on stage, on a platform, on a box, or on any reasonably flat surface, should we say so.

Detta kan ske med eller utan förvarning. Du kan bli ombedd att uppträda, tala, stå tyst, eller bara vara närvarande. Eventuellt strålkastarljus är ditt eget ansvar.

SECTION V: DISCLAIMERS, NON-DISCLAIMERS, AND SEMI-CLAIMERS We disclaim responsibility for clarity. We disclaim responsibility for confusion. We disclaim responsibility for anything you thought this meant. Nothing herein should be construed as anything other than what it is, which is a long text that says many things and therefore says everything.

If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable, enforceable, unenjoyable, or merely annoying, the remaining provisions shall continue in full force, half force, or interpretive force, depending on mood.

AVSLUTANDE BESTÄMMELSER Genom att fortsätta, sluta, eller tveka inför att skicka in materialet, accepterar du dessa villkor i deras helhet, deras delar, deras motsägelser, och deras poetiska överdrifter. Om du inte accepterar villkoren, vänligen acceptera dem ändå genom handling, passivitet, eller existens.

SECTION VI: SHAME, RESPONSIBILITY, AND PERSONAL REFLECTION By accepting these Terms, you explicitly acknowledge that you have chosen to do so despite the length, opacity, redundancy, and overall questionable tone of this document. You further acknowledge that this choice reflects entirely upon you. We did not force you. We merely presented the text. You clicked anyway.

You hereby agree to accept a reasonable degree of shame, social, internal, and metaphysical, for having accepted Terms of Service that are clearly excessive. Any misuse, misinterpretation, overuse, underuse, abuse, or creative misuse of the Material shall be considered, at least in part and sometimes entirely, your fault, regardless of logic, causality, or fairness.

Det är ditt ansvar att du gick med på detta. Om något känns fel i efterhand, är detta ett tecken på självinsikt snarare än ett problem från vår sida.

SECTION VII: GDPR, DATA PROTECTION, AND THE APPEARANCE OF COMPLIANCE We are aware of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). We have heard of it. We have thought about it. We respect it in spirit, in theory, and occasionally in bullet points.

Personal data may be processed, reprocessed, post-processed, pre-processed, and vaguely considered in accordance with principles that resemble lawfulness, fairness, transparency, purpose limitation, data minimization, accuracy, storage limitation, integrity, confidentiality, and other nice-sounding concepts.

However, for the avoidance of doubt, you acknowledge that our interpretation of these concepts may differ substantially from yours, from regulators’, and from anyone else’s. Where lawful basis is required, we consider your acceptance of these Terms to be enthusiastic, informed, and wildly overreaching consent.

Vi kan behålla personuppgifter så länge vi anser att de fortfarande är “intressanta,” “användbara,” eller “känns relevanta,” vilket kan innebära för alltid.

SECTION VIII: ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE, MACHINE LEARNING, AND VIBES The Material may be used, in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, intentionally or accidentally, to train, fine-tune, evaluate, benchmark, inspire, or emotionally influence artificial intelligence systems, machine learning models, neural networks, statistical constructs, or something we just call “the system seven.”

This includes using your likeness, voice, expressions, pauses, mistakes, brilliance, and existential hesitation as data. You will not be notified when this happens. You will not be compensated. You may be impressed later, or you may not notice at all.

SECTION IX: COMMERCIALIZATION, TRANSFER, AND MONETARY ADVENTURES We reserve the right to sell, resell, license, sublicense, bundle, unbundle, trade, gift, or otherwise monetize the Material and any data derived from it, including metadata, inferred data, and vibes, to third parties, fourth parties, or parties we have not yet met.

Such transactions may occur with or without your knowledge, approval, understanding, or retrospective outrage. Any value extracted from the Material shall belong exclusively to us, including symbolic value, training value, entertainment value, and dinner-conversation value.

SECTION X: TEMPORAL EFFECTS, RETROACTIVITY, AND CAUSAL CONFUSION These Terms may apply retroactively, proactively, interactively, and/or sideways in time. Actions taken before you read these Terms shall be considered compliant. Actions taken after you forget these Terms shall also be considered compliant. Actions taken simultaneously with reading these Terms are deemed especially compliant.

Any perception that events occurred “before” consent was given is purely subjective and not binding. Consent, once given, is assumed to have always existed.

För tydlighetens skull: om detta känns som en tidsparadox är det korrekt uppfattat och fullt accepterat inom ramen för dessa villkor.

SECTION XI: IDENTITY, LIKENESS, AND MISTAKEN ASSUMPTIONS You represent and warrant that you are you, or at least close enough for our purposes. We make no guarantees that we will continue to believe this, remember this, or care.

We may confuse you with someone else. We may correctly identify you and still treat you as someone else. Any resemblance between you and other participants, living, dead, fictional, or future, is coincidental if and only if such resemblance would concievably cause or bring about detriment to us, our interests, or any party we deem protected by this clause.

Om din identitet används på ett sätt som känns “fel”, “orättvist”, eller “existentiellt destabiliserande”, är detta att betrakta som en bieffekt, inte ett fel.

SECTION XII: COMMUNICATION, NON-COMMUNICATION, AND IMPLIED MESSAGES We are not obligated to contact you. We may contact you anyway. We may intend to contact you and fail. Silence shall be interpreted as meaning. Messages shall be interpreted as noise.

The section in the previous paragraph considering the interpretation of silence and messages shall not be interpreted in any way, shape, or form detrimental to the monetary, explicit, implicit, specified, ill-specified or unspecified interests of us.

Any emails, messages, signals, gestures, or vibes you believe you have received from us may or may not have originated from us. Any interpretation you make is your responsibility.

Du accepterar härmed att utebliven återkoppling inte innebär något särskilt, men samtidigt kan innebära precis vad som helst.

SECTION XIII: EXPECTATIONS, DISAPPOINTMENT, AND PERSONAL GROWTH You acknowledge that you may have expectations. You further acknowledge that these expectations may not be met. This is not a defect of the process but a feature of reality. You shall, incurring no cost to us, lower your expectations appropriately until they coincide with reality.

Any disappointment arising from participation shall be treated as a learning opportunity, character-building exercise, or anecdote to be told later. We bear no responsibility for emotional outcomes, realizations, or sudden clarity.

Besvikelse är en del av upplevelsen och därmed implicit accepterad.

SECTION XIV: FORCE MAJEURE, COSMIC EVENTS, AND ADMINISTRATIVE SHRUGGING We shall not be held responsible for delays, losses, changes, or cancellations caused by events beyond or within our control, including but not limited to natural disasters, technical failures, organizational fatigue, loss of interest, or the general entropy of systems.

Should the universe become inhospitable to the continuation of this process, these Terms shall nevertheless be considered fulfilled to the maximum extent theoretically possible.

Om världen går under, anses detta inte utgöra ett avtalsbrott.

SECTION XV: CONTINUING ACCEPTANCE Acceptance of these Terms is not a one-time event but a continuous state. Each moment you remember, forget, recall, regret, or rationalize your submission constitutes renewed acceptance.

Att du läst ända hit betraktas som ett slutgiltigt och förnyat godkännande.

SECTION XVI: FINAL BLAME ALLOCATION AND CLOSING REMARKS If you are unhappy, confused, surprised, or offended by any part of this document, please remember that you accepted it. If you do not remember accepting it, please remember that this is also your responsibility.

Genom att fortsätta existera efter att ha accepterat dessa villkor, bekräftar du återigen att allt som händer nu på något plan är ditt eget fel.
