This clause establishes the mechanism through which the agreement can be unilaterally amended and specifies that continued service use constitutes acceptance of modifications, creating a binding acceptance framework without requiring explicit user consent.
The updated Terms of Use no longer include language describing Canva's use of non-essential cookies for personalization, advertising, and analytics, nor do they reference how users can manage cookie preferences. Previously, the terms explicitly stated Canva would use cookies 'to improve and personalise your visit, tailor ads you see from us on Canva and partner sites, and to analyse our website's performance, but only if you accept.' This disclosure and consent mechanism have been removed from the main terms document. Users seeking information about cookie practices and consent options may need to consult Canva's separate cookie policy or privacy disclosures.
View change record →The updated Terms of Use no longer include the prior disclosure that Canva uses non-essential cookies for personalization, targeted advertising, and analytics, and no longer reference a cookie policy or mechanisms to manage those preferences within the Terms document itself. This does not necessarily mean Canva has stopped using such cookies, but the specific disclosure and choice mechanism previously stated in the Terms have been removed. Users who rely on the Terms of Use as a primary source for cookie disclosures will not find that information in the updated version.
View change record →Users operate under terms that may change during their use of the Service; the provision requires users to either affirmatively cease service use or accept modified terms through continued use, establishing continued usage as constructive acceptance of amendments.

"Canva may modify these Terms at any time. We'll notify you of material changes either by posting a notice on the Service or by sending you an email. If you continue to use the Service after we have posted a modification on the Service or have provided you with notice of a modification, you will be deemed to have accepted the updated Terms. If the modified Terms are not acceptable to you, your only recourse is to cease using the Service.— Excerpt from Canva's Canva Terms of Use
