License agreement for Canva

JessicaMarine1 commented 5 months ago

I don't think you can use Canva images/graphics in this way:

For One Design Use items -- pararagh 3 of the license agreement states:

  1. Pro Content License (aka One Design Use License) Under the terms of this agreement, we grant you a perpetual, non-exclusive, non-transferable (subject to section 4A below), worldwide license to use Pro Content or Pro Template in a single Canva Design, for the Permitted Uses defined in sections 5 and 7 below (Pro Content License or One Design Use License). You may not copy, download or distribute the Pro Content as a standalone item.

And paragraph 4A says: For the avoidance of doubt, this section 4A does not entitle you to transfer or sub-license Content to your client for use outside of a Canva Design, or on a standalone basis (unless the license terms allow this).

I don’t think what we’re creating here would qualify as a “Canva Design”.

Also, even for the free stuff, it looks like you may have to give the contributor credit — See 9(9): use the Content for editorial purposes without including the following credit adjacent to the Content or in audio/visual production credits: “©[insert Contributor’s Name] via Canva.com;

PSHC is working with OSC to see if we can replace these icons with something else.
