Will I get banned/locked for using VPN to accept gift?

[not_Prince]

My friend gifted me some DLCs. We share the same store country but currently I'm outside of my store country therefore it prompts me "This item cannot be added to your library because it is restricted in your country." (I assumed, though)

I googled a little, but nothing concrete. Generally stories about getting banned for using VPN to unlock a product that is region locked, bypass product release date and such. Yeah yeah I went through Steam Subscriber Agreement Section 3-A: Payment Authorization, but still confusing cuz my case has nothing to do with different pricing (due to different currency).

Your account might be locked or terminated for violating the Steam Subscriber Agreement in that way, yes.

Section 3-A...

You agree that you will not use IP proxying or other methods to disguise the place of your residence, whether to circumvent geographical restrictions on game content, to purchase at pricing not applicable to your geography, or for any other purpose. If you do this, Valve may terminate your access to your Account.

Hey,
I'm an achievement hunter/collector and I've already done 100% all the Dishonored Franchise and I saw there are Dishonored games which are Region Lock in Russia.
Can I use a VPN to register them because I've already buy them in my own country ? :)
