“Restricted Person” means any individual or entity that: (i) is subject to a Restricted Jurisdiction; (ii) appears on or is owned/controlled by any sanctioned-party list (U.S. OFAC, EU, UN, UK, etc.); (iii) acts on behalf of such persons; or (iv) uses VPNs, proxies, or location-masking tools to circumvent geographic restrictions.
