This provision establishes that users are contractually obligated to comply with applicable sanctions requirements, which may include obligations imposed by U.S. OFAC, EU sanctions authorities, UK OFSI, and other relevant bodies depending on the user's jurisdiction and the nature of transactions conducted.
Interpretive note: The phrase 'relevant sanctions authorities' is not defined in the document, and the scope of applicable sanctions regimes depends on the user's jurisdiction, counterparties, and transaction type.
Under this clause, users operating in or transacting with sanctioned jurisdictions or parties may be in breach of the agreement regardless of whether they are directly subject to the relevant sanctions authority's jurisdiction. The phrase 'relevant sanctions authorities' is not defined and may encompass multiple international regimes.
