The obligation is framed as a representation and warranty, meaning a breach is not merely a policy violation but a false statement that can trigger additional contractual consequences.
Interpretive note: The excerpt contains an ellipsis after 'European Union', indicating additional sanctioning jurisdictions are listed in the full clause. The canonical claim uses 'including' to preserve the non-exhaustive nature of the list. The representation-and-warranty framing is noted in omitted_material as an independent legal proposition not stated in the canonical claim.
You and every Permitted User on your account are contractually required to comply with all applicable sanctions and trade embargoes, including US and EU regimes, and you have warranted to TikTok Ads that this is and will be true.
