> Age requirement. You must be 18 or older to use the Service.

Terrible rule, even if effectively unenforceable.

The terms themselves don’t seem to restrict use of the editor, just “the Service”, which is defined as the subscription service (separate to “the Software”). Not sure why the email was phrased this way but it seems to be misaligned with the actual terms.

Huge self-own.

I suspect this is because minors cannot normally be legally bound by contracts they sign.
