Elements Acceptable Use Terms
Last updated: May 6, 2026
These Acceptable Use Terms (the "Terms") are a binding agreement between Elements Dev Corporation, a Delaware corporation ("Elements", "we", "us"), and you, the person creating an account or using elements.dev (the "Site"). They govern your account, the content you post, and your conduct on the Site. They apply whether or not you have a paid subscription.
By creating an account, signing in, posting content, or otherwise using the Site, you agree to these Terms. If you have a paid subscription, our License and Subscription Agreement also applies and controls anything covered there. Our Privacy Policy describes how we handle information.
In short. Accounts are for adults — you must be 18+. You own what you post; you give us the rights we need to host and display it. Don't post illegal, infringing, or harmful content; don't attack the Site. We can remove content and close accounts when these Terms are broken. Copyright takedowns: send a DMCA notice to legal@elements.dev.
1. Eligibility
You must be at least 18 years old to create an account or use the Site. By creating an account or using the Site, you represent that you are at least 18.
If you are using the Site on behalf of a company or other legal entity, you represent that you have authority to bind that entity, and "you" refers to that entity.
You also represent that you are not located in, and will not use the Site from, a country or region subject to comprehensive U.S. sanctions, and that you are not on any U.S. or other applicable restricted-party list.
2. Your Account
2.1 One Person Per Account
An account represents a single individual. You may not share an account or let anyone else sign in to your account.
2.2 Accurate Information
You agree to provide accurate information when creating your account and to keep it up to date.
2.3 Account Security
You are responsible for keeping your credentials confidential and for all activity that occurs under your account. If you become aware of unauthorized use of your account, please email support@elements.dev.
2.4 Closing Your Account
You may close your account at any time. We may also close, suspend, or limit access to your account as described in Section 7.
3. Your Content
3.1 Definition
"Your Content" means anything you post, upload, submit, or otherwise make available on the Site — including without limitation posts, comments, courses, lessons, videos, files, profile information, and other materials.
3.2 Ownership
You retain all ownership rights you have in Your Content. We do not claim ownership of Your Content.
3.3 License to Elements
You grant Elements a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, sublicensable license to host, store, reproduce, transmit, display, perform, distribute, modify (for technical purposes such as transcoding or formatting), and otherwise use Your Content as needed to operate, provide, and improve the Site, including making Your Content available to other users in the manner you have indicated by posting it. This license lasts for as long as Your Content remains on the Site, and continues for a reasonable period after removal so we can complete backups, audit logs, and similar internal operations.
3.4 Your Representations
By posting Your Content, you represent and warrant that:
a. you own Your Content or have all rights necessary to grant the license in Section 3.3; b. Your Content does not infringe or violate the intellectual property, privacy, publicity, or other rights of any third party; and c. Your Content complies with these Terms and applicable law.
3.5 No Obligation to Monitor
Elements has no obligation to review or monitor Your Content, but may do so at our discretion. We are not responsible for Your Content or for content posted by other users.
4. Acceptable Use
4.1 Prohibited Content
You agree not to post, upload, or transmit content that:
a. is illegal, fraudulent, or violates applicable law; b. infringes any third party's intellectual property, privacy, publicity, or other rights; c. is defamatory, obscene, sexually explicit, harassing, threatening, or hateful; d. depicts or sexually exploits minors; e. contains malware, ransomware, viruses, exploits, or other harmful code; f. is unsolicited promotional material, bulk messaging, or spam; g. impersonates another person or misrepresents your affiliation with any person or entity; or h. contains personal information of any third party that you do not have the right to disclose.
4.2 Prohibited Conduct
You agree not to:
a. access, tamper with, or use non-public areas of the Site, our systems, or our infrastructure; b. probe, scan, or test the vulnerability of any system or breach any security or authentication measure; c. interfere with or disrupt the Site or any user's use of the Site, including by overloading, flooding, or denial-of-service tactics; d. use automated means (bots, scrapers, crawlers, harvesters) to access the Site or extract content from the Site, except as expressly permitted by us in writing or via our published interfaces and rate limits; e. circumvent any rate limit, access control, or technical restriction on the Site; f. use the Site to send unsolicited communications, promotions, or advertisements, or to harvest contact information; or g. encourage or enable any other person to do any of the above.
5. Enforcement
5.1 Removal and Suspension
We may, at our discretion and without prior notice, remove or restrict access to any content, suspend or terminate any account, or limit access to any feature, if we believe these Terms or applicable law have been violated, or to protect the Site, its users, or third parties.
5.2 Discretionary Removal of Community Access
In addition to Section 5.1, we reserve the right to remove or restrict your access to community features (including posting, commenting, courses, and other user-content surfaces) for misconduct, as determined by us in our sole judgment, regardless of whether that conduct violates a specific provision of these Terms.
5.3 No Obligation to Reinstate
We are not obligated to reinstate removed content or terminated accounts.
5.4 Cooperation with Law Enforcement
We may cooperate with law enforcement and government authorities and respond to subpoenas, court orders, and other legal process.
6. Copyright — DMCA Notice and Takedown
6.1 Notices of Claimed Infringement
If you believe content on the Site infringes your copyright, please send a notice that includes all of the following, as required by 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3):
a. your physical or electronic signature; b. identification of the copyrighted work claimed to be infringed; c. identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing, with information reasonably sufficient to permit us to locate the material (such as a URL on the Site); d. your contact information (address, telephone number, and email address); e. a statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use of the material is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law; and f. a statement, made under penalty of perjury, that the information in the notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on its behalf.
Send notices to: legal@elements.dev.
6.2 Counter-Notices
If your content was removed in response to a DMCA notice and you believe the removal was a mistake or misidentification, you may submit a counter-notice that complies with 17 U.S.C. § 512(g). Send counter-notices to legal@elements.dev.
6.3 Repeat Infringers
We may terminate the accounts of users we determine to be repeat infringers.
7. Termination
7.1 By You
You may stop using the Site and close your account at any time.
7.2 By Us
We may suspend or terminate your access to the Site, or close your account, at any time and for any reason, including for violation of these Terms.
7.3 Effect of Termination
On termination, your license to use the Site ends. Sections 3.3 (License to Elements, with respect to backups and similar operational uses), 3.4 (Your Representations), 8 (Disclaimer), 9 (Limitation of Liability), 10 (Indemnification), and 11 (General) survive termination. Termination of these Terms does not by itself terminate any paid Subscription you have, which continues to be governed by the License and Subscription Agreement.
8. Disclaimer
THE SITE AND ITS CONTENT ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE," WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND. ELEMENTS DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND ANY WARRANTIES ARISING FROM COURSE OF DEALING OR COURSE OF PERFORMANCE. ELEMENTS DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE SITE OR ANY CONTENT POSTED BY USERS WILL BE ACCURATE, COMPLETE, RELIABLE, AVAILABLE, SECURE, OR FREE OF ERRORS, VIRUSES, OR HARMFUL COMPONENTS. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF IMPLIED WARRANTIES, SO PORTIONS OF THIS SECTION MAY NOT APPLY.
9. Limitation of Liability
9.1 Exclusion of Indirect Damages
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ELEMENTS SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR LOST PROFITS, LOST REVENUE, LOST DATA, BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, OR COST OF SUBSTITUTE GOODS OR SERVICES, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR THE SITE, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
9.2 Cap on Direct Damages
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ELEMENTS'S TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR YOUR USE OF THE SITE WILL NOT EXCEED ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS (USD $100), OR, IF YOU HAVE A PAID SUBSCRIPTION, THE TOTAL FEES PAID BY YOU TO ELEMENTS DURING THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM — WHICHEVER IS GREATER.
9.3 Application
The limitations in this Section 9 apply regardless of the theory of liability (contract, tort, statute, or otherwise). Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations, so portions of this Section 9 may not apply.
10. Indemnification
You shall defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Elements and its officers, directors, employees, and agents from and against any third-party claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or relating to:
a. Your Content; b. your use of the Site in violation of these Terms or applicable law; or c. your violation of any third-party right.
11. General
11.1 Governing Law; Venue
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles. The parties consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in New Castle County, Delaware, for any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms, except that either party may seek injunctive relief in any court of competent jurisdiction to protect its intellectual property.
11.2 Informal Resolution
Before filing any formal claim, the parties will try in good faith to resolve any dispute informally for at least 30 days after written notice of the dispute is sent to the other party.
11.3 Changes to These Terms
Elements may update these Terms from time to time by publishing a new version. We will provide reasonable notice of material changes (by email or through your account). Your continued use of the Site after the effective date constitutes acceptance.
11.4 Record of Acceptance
When you accept these Terms, Elements stores a record of the acceptance referencing the version of the Terms in effect at that time, together with a timestamp, your account identifier, your IP address, and your browser's user-agent string. The parties agree that this stored record is the authoritative record of the version of the Terms you accepted and may be used as evidence in any dispute.
11.5 Notices
Notices to Elements must be sent to legal@elements.dev. Notices to you will be sent to the email address associated with your account. Notices are effective on receipt.
11.6 Assignment
You may not assign these Terms without our prior written consent. We may assign these Terms freely. Any prohibited assignment is void.
11.7 Severability; Waiver
If any provision of these Terms is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in effect and the unenforceable provision will be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable. No waiver is effective unless in writing.
11.8 Entire Agreement
These Terms, together with any other agreement between you and Elements that expressly references these Terms (including the License and Subscription Agreement, where applicable, and the Privacy Policy), are the entire agreement between you and Elements regarding their subject matter and supersede all prior or contemporaneous understandings.
