So I see where you are coming from. You also state this it doesn't conclude "if you don't do this and this, this won't be given to you," but that would be a logical conclusion if you accepted the conditional status of the former.

Not using real logic, it wouldn't.

If the condition isn't met, there is no implication, either way, for the result: it may or may not happen.
