This provision allocates regulatory compliance obligations and legal liability risk to the user rather than to Telegram as the platform operator. It establishes that Telegram functions as a neutral infrastructure provider for the giveaway feature while users bear responsibility for jurisdictional legal requirements and consequences of non-compliance.
Users who utilize Telegram's giveaway feature operate under a requirement to independently identify and comply with all applicable regulatory constraints in their jurisdiction. If legal or administrative action results from giveaway operation, the user remains solely liable and cannot seek recovery from Telegram for associated sanctions, fees, or legal costs.
