Envato restricts access to its platforms in certain countries and regions due to economic sanctions and legal requirements. As a global company, Envato complies with all applicable laws, including sanctions regulations that prohibit or restrict trade with specific countries, entities, and individuals. This means authors and customers located in restricted countries, or involved in prohibited transactions, may not be able to access Envato's platforms.
