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.
