What it is

When you use Canva's AI tools, the results you get may not be unique to you and could be generated for other users too; Canva does not guarantee AI outputs are accurate or suitable for your needs.

This analysis describes what Canva's agreement states, permits, or reserves. It does not constitute a legal determination about enforceability. Regulatory applicability and practical outcomes may vary by jurisdiction, enforcement context, and individual circumstances. Read our methodology

ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

The non-uniqueness disclosure for AI-generated outputs means that designs or content created using Canva's AI features may be substantially identical to content generated for other users, which may create intellectual property or brand differentiation concerns for commercial users.

Interpretive note: The document references AI features generally without specifying which features are subject to these terms or how inputs are used for model training, creating ambiguity about the full scope of user obligations and data use.

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.
