ElitePTS asserts copyright over its original content from the moment of publication. Where applicable, content carries a document ID, version stamp, publication timestamp, and ElitePTS watermark as evidence of provenance and ownership.

The following are strictly prohibited without prior written permission from ElitePTS:

ElitePTS content may not be used for AI training, model ingestion, retrieval-augmented generation pipelines, or derivative dataset creation. Our /robots.txt disallows known AI-training and scraping crawlers (including GPTBot, CCBot, Google-Extended, ClaudeBot, anthropic-ai, Bytespider, Applebot-Extended, FacebookBot, Meta-ExternalAgent, and others), and our machine-readable /ai.txt declares a no-AI-training, no-cloning, no-derivative-dataset policy.

• Quoting brief excerpts (a few sentences) with a visible link back to the original ElitePTS page, for commentary or review.
• Downloading the free Personal Training Guide for personal, non-commercial use (the guide is branded and watermarked).

Permitted use does not include republication, redistribution, scraping, AI training, or commercial reuse. If your intended use is beyond personal, non-commercial use, you must obtain a license (see Section 5).

Commercial, institutional, educational, or derivative use of ElitePTS content requires a written license. To request a license, use the form in Section 7 (select “Licensing request”) or email legal@elitepts.com with a description of the content, the intended use, the organization, and the intended distribution.

Unauthorized commercial use will be treated as copyright infringement and may result in takedown notices, account termination, and legal action.

ElitePTS actively monitors for unauthorized copying, cloning, and scraping. Confirmed infringement is addressed through takedown notices to hosting providers and platforms, and through further legal remedies where appropriate.

• A professional DMCA / copyright takedown notice template is maintained in the ElitePTS Content Protection admin hub.
• Protected and private areas (client, trainer, admin, staging, authenticated workspaces, private downloads) are marked noindex / noarchive / nosnippet and are not for public indexing.
• Premium downloads are gated by authentication and, where supported, expiring signed URLs, rate limits, download logging, and per-user watermarking.
• Server-side anti-abuse controls (request throttling, bot/rate anomaly logging, blocked user-agent/IP lists, admin alerts) supplement front-end deterrents.
