This provision allocates responsibility for compliance and quality assurance between the service provider and the user. By disclaiming guarantees regarding AI output accuracy and reliability, the clause establishes that users must independently verify AI-generated content before deployment, and the service provider assumes no liability for deficiencies in AI output quality or appropriateness.
Interpretive note: The regulatory framework governing AI-generated content and responsibility allocation is actively evolving in multiple jurisdictions, and the practical enforceability of user responsibility clauses for AI outputs may develop as law matures.
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.
