1.1 Canva Austria GmbH (the “Operator”, “We”, “Us”) operates the following brands, services, and websites:

• Remove.bg, a web-based application for editing photos;
• Unscreen (unscreen.com), a web-based application for editing videos; and
• Designify (designify.com), a web-based application for editing photos,

(each, a “Service”, or together, the “Services”). The Operator develops and sells the software solutions available through each Service.

2. Subject of the Contract

2.1. The subject of this Contract is the provision of temporary, non-exclusive, paid use of the Service software as a service pursuant to this Contract by the customer (the “Customer”). The scope of performance and functionality of the Service is derived from the interface description that the Customer has received separately or from the description on each Service’s “Pricing Page” (at either https://www.remove.bg/pricing, https://www.unscreen.com/pricing or https://www.designify.com/pricing) or “API page” (https://www.remove.bg/api, https://www.unscreen.com/api, https://www.designify.com/api-docs).

2.2. The Service is only available on the internet; the function of the Service therefore depends on a functioning internet connection. The system requirements necessary for the operation of the Service can be found in the interface description according to point 2.1 or at the Service’s Pricing Page. By using the Service, the Customer also agrees to the relevant Service’s “Terms of Service” (Remove.bg: https://www.remove.bg/tos, Unscreen: https://www.unscreen.com/tos, Designify: https://www.designify.com/tos). In the event of any conflict between the Terms of Service and this Contract, this Contract will prevail.

2.3. General terms and conditions of the Customer do not apply.

2.4. Creation of multiple accounts for the same person is not allowed.

3.2. The scope of use (commercial or non-commercial) is based on the tariff chosen by the Customer. If the tariff chosen by the Customer so provides, the Customer may use, process or exploit the result of the Service (depending on the chosen tariff) commercially or non-commercially in any manner whatsoever. In the case of non-commercial use, the Customer is prohibited from using the results of the Service for direct or indirect commercial purposes.

These rollover credits shall expire at the end of the billing period if a user cancels the subscription. In the context of the use of the Service, the Customer has the right to process photos in the amount equivalent to the credits acquired (the equivalent value is based on the respective tariff). A photo is considered to have been processed when the Customer is offered the result for download (regardless of whether the Customer downloads the photo). Should a Customer make more than 15% of unsuccessful requests (requests that cannot be processed), the Operator reserves the right to block access to the interface.
2. For Unscreen - The processing of videos can be purchased individually on a per-video basis. The price for a specific video file is based on the characteristics of the file and is displayed after the upload for confirmation. Monthly subscription minutes shall expire at the end of a billing cycle. In the context of the use of the Service, the Customer has the right to process up to the number of video minutes acquired. A video is considered to have been processed when the Customer is offered the result for download (regardless of whether the Customer downloads the video).

Unused image credits shall expire at the end of a billing cycle. In the context of the use of the Service, the Customer has the right to process up to the number of images acquired. An image is considered to have been processed when the Customer is offered the result for download (regardless of whether the Customer downloads the image).

3.6 The Operator shall grant the Customer a right of withdrawal for 30 days from the date of the Contract, unless the Customer has made use of the services (even in part). Use in accordance with point 6.3 also excludes withdrawal.

3.7. Where available, the Operator shall provide the Customer (depending on the selected tariff) with an API interface with which the Customer can integrate the Service into its own websites, apps and software. The Customer has the right to integrate the Service into an unlimited number of its own websites, apps and software. Provision of the API interface to third parties (in return for payment or free of charge) is not permitted. The Customer may install the API interface only on websites in which the Customer is named in the legal notice. Integration into software and apps is permitted only if the Customer holds the rights of use of the respective software.

3.8. In addition to any restrictions set out in the Terms of Service, use for the following purposes is prohibited: Research/development of artificial intelligence (in particular generation of training data), military use, pornography, gambling/betting, terrorism, creation of "fake news", use by organizations that carry out, encourage or require unlawful violence or physical injury to persons or property, or carry out, encourage or require unlawful force against any group based on race, religion, disability, gender, sexual orientation or national origin.
