How a Subscription works

This section will help you understand how an Envato Elements subscription works.

15. Subscribing and payment plans: To receive access to Envato Elements’ library of Items and its AI Tools, you must become a Subscriber. If you elect to subscribe to Envato Elements, you must select one of our subscription plans. You acknowledge that you are signing up for a recurring payment plan in order to access Envato Elements, its Items and AI Tools. Your subscription will automatically renew at the end of each billing period in accordance with the frequency and payment method that was selected by you at the point of first payment confirmation and checkout. Payment will be charged to your nominated payment method at the start of each billing period until you cancel. 

16. Subscription types: We currently offer the following types of subscription plans: 

    a. Elements for Individuals is a single seat usage subscription only, available for use by a single real person or for a single seat usage by a company with less than fifty employees. You are not permitted to share the seat. 

    b. Elements for Teams is a multiple seat subscription, available to a group of people or a company with less than fifty employees.

    c. Elements for Students is a single seat subscription, available only to students aged 18 and over, enrolled full-time in an accredited secondary or tertiary educational institution. The student subscription plan is intended exclusively for individuals currently enrolled in an eligible educational institution and is subject to certain eligibility requirements.

    d. Enterprise: If your company has over 50 employees, please contact us to discuss an Enterprise account.

17. Plan name change: We may rename subscription plans however, renaming a plan does not change its features, entitlements, pricing, or other terms unless otherwise notified to you in writing.

18. Changing your subscription: You may request to change your subscription plan by contacting us at any time during your subscription period. 

    a. Upgrades - Upgrading your plan may unlock additional features or other benefits and will result in a pro-rated charge based on the price difference between your current plan and the upgraded plan. 

    b. Downgrades - Any requested downgrade will only take effect at the end of your then-current billing period. For example, if you downgrade from an annual plan to a monthly plan, you will only move to the monthly plan at the end of your term of your annual plan. Please note that downgrading your plan may reduce your access to certain features or functionality of Envato Elements.

19. Sales, trials and promotional offers: If you sign up for an Envato subscription during a promotional or sale period where you receive a discounted subscription price or other promotional offer (such as a free trial for a limited period), you agree that at the conclusion of that promotional or sale period your subscription will automatically renew at the then standard pricing and frequency notified to you at the start of the promotional or sale period, unless you cancel before expiry of that period.
20. Content available to browsing users: On certain parts of Envato Elements (such as the Envato Elements WordPress plugin), a limited range of content is made available to Users, whether or not they are a Member or Subscriber. The content made available to you without requiring an Envato account or subscription is also subject to these User Terms, the Envato Elements License, and if applicable, the Free Files Policy.
21. Search results and content placement: The visibility and order of Items displayed in search results, curated sections, or other placements across Envato sites are determined by us and may be influenced by various factors, including content relevance, user engagement, recency, quality, editorial input, or content ownership or source. We may, in our discretion, prioritize the display of Items that are owned, produced, or licensed by us or our Group Companies. This prioritization may impact the visibility of other Items. We reserve the right to update or modify our ranking, placement, and display methodologies at any time.

22. What do you get when you download and license an Item?
     

    Please read the Envato Elements License in detail to understand what you can do with stock Items.  For AI-generated content created on our platform, please check the AI Product Terms to understand what you can do with this content.

    a. License: As a Subscriber, each time you download an Item you will be granted a limited, non-exclusive license to use that Item for one project to create a specific End Product in accordance with the specific terms set out in the Envato Elements License. If you have an Elements for Teams subscription, the license is granted to the licensee nominated for your team during sign-up.

    b. No guarantee of availability: Neither we, nor the Authors make any promise that any particular Item will be available on Envato Elements at all times and Items may become unavailable during the term of your subscription period, unless downloaded by you.

    c. No ownership: The Items on Envato Elements are owned by the respective rights holder of that Item (i.e. the Author). They are licensed to you on a non-exclusive basis under the terms of the Envato Elements License (as amended from time to time) by the Authors. You acknowledge that by downloading an Item, you are only acquiring a license to use the Items in accordance with the terms of the Envato Elements LIcense, and no rights of ownership are granted to you for the Item.

    d. Effect of ceasing subscription: As Envato Elements is a subscription service, certain rights granted under an Item license are only applicable for as long as your Envato Elements subscription is active. Each Item license will remain valid while your subscription is active and if you complete your End Product during your subscription period, the applicable Item license will continue for the life of the End Product (even if your subscription ends). For trial licenses (prior to December 2025), free files and everything else, you'll need to remove the Items from any associated product, project or end-use. 

     

23. Services and support: As a Subscriber you also receive standard support services from us. You may reach our support team via a help center request or by email at elements@help.envato.com .  However, due to the availability of unlimited downloads on Envato Elements, the Items do not include the level of after-sale support that you would find for similar Items purchased separately on Envato Market.

Please visit Envato Market for similar Items, if your project requires a particular level of support.

24. Artificial Intelligence Tools: 

    a. Availability: As a Subscriber, you may receive access to certain tools, features and products (AI Tools) that are powered by artificial intelligence, which may include:

To avoid doubt, usage limits for GenAI Products may be modified, increased or decreased at Envato’s sole discretion.

    e. Acknowledgement: When using a GenAI Product, you acknowledge that artificial intelligence is a rapidly evolving landscape and use of the GenAI Products may generate Output that does not accurately reflect your Input, real people or places. Therefore, when you use a GenAI Product, you acknowledge and agree that:

    i. all Output has been generated via a Third Party AI Provider and Envato makes no guarantees, representations or warranties as to the accuracy or the rights in or lack of third party infringement risk in relation to such Output (which may include names, places and images); 

    ii. you are responsible (at your own cost and expense) for ensuring that you have evaluated and assessed the Output for the relevant accuracy and appropriateness (including non-infringement of third party rights) before you use the Output for any purposes (commercial or non-commercial);

    iii. Envato takes no responsibility and assumes no liability for the Output you generate or your use of any Output for any purpose; 

    iv. the Output may not be accurate and should not be relied on as a source of truth or as a substitute for any professional advice;

    vi. the GenAI Products may generate incorrect or offensive Output and such Output does not represent Envato’s views; and

    vii. if any Output generated includes references to third party products or services, it does not mean that Envato has any endorsement or affiliation with that third party or those products or services.

Please ensure you read the Labs Terms carefully before using any of Envato’s GenAI Products or any Output.

You hereby authorize the applicable Payment Processor to store payment information and continue billing your specified payment method.
32. Currency conversion costs: Envato subscription fees are in US Dollars, or if you are in the European Union, in Euros. We may offer subscription fees in other currencies from time to time.

    a. you have changed your mind about your subscription;

    b. you subscribed by mistake;

    c. you do not have sufficient expertise to use the Items made available;

39. Disputes lodged with payment agents: If, as a Subscriber, you lodge a dispute with a Payment Processor (such as Paypal), this will result in a suspension of your Envato Elements subscription and your Envato account until the dispute raised with the Payment Processor has been cancelled or resolved. Once a dispute has been lodged with a Payment Processor, resolving the related issues can become a complex process and means we cannot make payments or issue refunds out of your Envato account.

If there is a payment dispute, we encourage you to first contact us directly to see if we can help resolve any concerns.

40. Customer’s Right of Withdrawal (EU Only): If you reside in the European Union, you may withdraw from your plan within fourteen (14) days of payment to Envato. If you withdraw within this period and you have not purchased, downloaded, accessed or licensed any content, we will refund your payment within fourteen (14) days using the same payment method (unless agreed otherwise), but if you have used any content or requested services to begin during the withdrawal period, you may not be eligible for a refund or we may deduct a proportionate amount as permitted by law.
