Art Contest Design Accusation Determination

[lucky80]

Canva is a tool for graphic design, and to my knowledge, you cannot use any of the Canva properties except for your content for any purpose. I know this when I need some images for my website. Therefore I subscribe to pro service and pay a one-time license fee to use the image on my website.

And I think you both violated the terms of use of Canva.

There is a ‘permitted use’ clause.

This is an art contest.
We are not selling the designs for profit.
It explicitly lists permissible uses.
This usage falls within the permissible uses.
Some of you are far more concerned than Canva is.
They have their own legal team to pursue these matters as they see fit.
They have not chosen to do so, most likely because this is permissible use and hence ridiculous.
If you are that concerned about Canva’s rights, I would suggest you file an intellectual property complaint directly with them. Then, they can decide whether it’s permissible use.
I am 100% confident that they will find this to be permissible use.

Again we are taking about an art contest. 😐
