Canva updated its Terms of Use on June 24, 2026 to clarify how Add-Ons (additional paid features) can be billed and how automatic renewal applies to subscriptions. The updated language states that Add-Ons may be purchased as either one-time payments or recurring charges, and that automatic renewal applies to the subscription itself but excludes any one-time payments. This creates operational clarity: one-time Add-On purchases will not automatically renew, while recurring subscription charges will continue on their regular billing cycle.

What this means for you

The updated terms clarify how Add-Ons and subscription billing operate. The revised language states that Add-Ons can be purchased as either one-time payments or recurring charges, and that automatic renewal applies to the subscription but explicitly excludes one-time payments. This means if you purchase a one-time Add-On, that specific charge will not renew automatically; however, your subscription itself will continue to renew on its regular billing cycle. The clarification removes potential ambiguity about which charges recur and which do not.

Key Clauses Affected

Add-Ons billing structure

Clarifies that Add-Ons can be billed as one-time payments or recurring charges, with one-time payments explicitly excluded from automatic renewal.
