Canva's Terms of Use now distinguish between print products sold directly by Canva and those sold through third-party Marketplace Sellers. Previously, all print services were provided by third-party print partners. Under the updated terms, purchases from Marketplace Sellers are governed by separate Print Marketplace Seller Terms in addition to Canva's main Terms, and Canva or print partners may reject orders for any reason. The company clarified that it cannot provide refunds for user errors or change-of-mind situations, but will refund orders rejected after payment is made.

Consumers: If you buy print products from a third-party seller on Canva, you have two separate agreements: Canva's Terms and the seller's specific terms.

Consumers: Canva or the print partner can cancel your order for any reason without having to provide detailed justification.

Consumers: You cannot get a refund if you make a mistake on your order or change your mind; refunds are only issued if the seller rejects your order after you have paid.

What this means for you

The updated terms establish a two-tier print fulfillment model. Purchases from Canva directly remain under Canva's Terms, while purchases from third-party Marketplace Sellers are now governed by separate Print Marketplace Seller Terms. The revised terms state that print orders may be subject to additional fees and taxes, and that orders may be accepted or rejected by Canva or a print partner for any reason, including product unavailability or errors. The agreement explicitly states that refunds are not available for user-made errors or change-of-mind situations, though refunds will be issued if an order is rejected after payment has been made.

What you can do

Review the Print Marketplace Seller Terms if purchasing print products from a third-party seller identified at checkout.

Verify that your print order details are correct before finalizing purchase, as refunds for user errors are not available under the updated terms.
