Description

Should have no region restriction, however if the key doesn't work then you must agree to allow me to delete the giveaway.

Edit:
As kindly suggested by Pager in the below comment, I would like to rephrase the above sentence: Should the key not work, please allow me to delete the giveaway :)

Hi, just a friendly suggestion regarding the description.

You might consider rephrasing the line to something like:
"If the key doesn't work, I would appreciate it if you’d allow me to delete the giveaway."
That way, it's a polite request rather than an implied condition.

According to SteamGifts rules, it's not allowed to place additional conditions on public giveaways. Even though your intention is understandable, including such a statement helps to set a dangerous precedent - after all, no one wants a “not received” mark, so by that logic, anyone should add similar disclaimers, flooding users with bogus description popup each time they enter some giveaway.

If you're concerned, you could ask the winner for deletion permission afterward, or consider using a group where such terms are part of the group's internal rules. Even then, using such groups too broadly - i.e. not as a rare exception - can gradually damage the community.

Just my two cents. Hope that helps, and thanks for the giveaway!

Fair point, I was in a bit of a hurry at the time of writing and ended up phrasing that rather poorly in retrospect, sorry (^_^')
I will rectify this mistake in the description immediately, thank you very much for pointing it out to me :)
