1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using Canvas Builder ("the Service"), you ("User", "you") agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms") and our Privacy Policy. These Terms form a legally binding agreement between you and Canvas Builder ("we", "us", operated by SemiColonWeb).

If you are using the Service on behalf of a company or organisation, you represent that you have authority to bind that entity to these Terms. If you do not agree with any part of these Terms, you must not use the Service.

You must be at least 13 years old (or 16 years old in the EU) to use Canvas Builder.

2. Description of Service

Canvas Builder is an HTML layout generator that produces production-ready web layouts based on the Canvas HTML template system (v7.3.1 by SemiColonWeb/Envato). The Service allows users to:

  • Submit natural-language prompts to generate Canvas-compatible HTML layouts
  • Preview generated layouts in an interactive browser preview
  • Download generated layouts as HTML files
  • Maintain a history of past generations
  • Revise existing generations with additional prompts

We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue any aspect of the Service at any time with reasonable notice. We will not be liable to you or any third party for any modification, suspension, or discontinuation of the Service.

3. Accounts & Registration

You must create an account to use Canvas Builder. You may register with an email and password or via Google OAuth. By creating an account, you agree to provide accurate and complete information and to keep it current.

3.2 Account Security

You are responsible for:

  • Maintaining the confidentiality of your password and session
  • All activity that occurs under your account
  • Notifying us immediately of any unauthorised use at [email protected]

We are not liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to keep your credentials secure.

3.3 One Account Per Person

You may only maintain one account per person. Creating multiple accounts to circumvent credit limits or any other restriction is prohibited and may result in immediate termination of all associated accounts.

Purchased credits do not expire as long as your account remains active. If your account is deleted or terminated for violations, unused credits are forfeited.

4.5 Refund Policy

Credits are generally non-refundable once purchased, except in the following cases:

  • Technical failure: If a generation fails due to a server-side error, credits consumed by that failed generation are automatically refunded to your balance.
  • Billing errors: If you were charged incorrectly, contact us within 7 days at [email protected].
  • Discretionary refunds: We may grant partial refunds at our discretion within 14 days of purchase if the Service is materially not as described.

Chargebacks without first contacting us may result in account suspension.

4.6 Taxes

All prices are listed in USD. You are responsible for any taxes, duties, or levies applicable in your jurisdiction.

5. Generated Content & Intellectual Property

5.1 Your Ownership of Generated Content

Subject to your compliance with these Terms and payment of applicable credits, the HTML layouts generated by Canvas Builder in response to your prompts are owned by you. You may use, modify, and deploy them for any lawful commercial or personal purpose.

Generated layouts are unique to your session but are not guaranteed to be globally unique — other users may generate visually similar layouts from similar prompts.

5.2 Permitted Uses of Generated Templates

With a valid Canvas Template licence (see Section 8), you may:

  • Use generated layouts in unlimited personal and commercial projects
  • Use generated layouts for unlimited client work — there is no per-client or per-project restriction
  • Modify, adapt, or customise the generated HTML freely for each project
  • Host generated layouts on any server or platform
  • Use generated layouts as a starting point for further development
  • Deliver generated layouts to clients as part of your web design or development services

5.3 Prohibited Uses of Generated Templates

You may not:

  • Resell as a template: You may not resell, package, or redistribute generated layouts as standalone HTML templates, template packs, or design assets for others to reuse
  • Marketplace listings: You may not upload generated layouts to ThemeForest, Creative Market, Envato Elements, or similar template marketplaces
  • Competing services: You may not use generated layouts as the basis of a competing AI layout generation service
  • Remove attribution: You may not remove the Canvas Template attribution from the downloaded HTML source code
  • Production without licence: You may not deploy generated layouts to a live public website without holding a valid Canvas Template licence from ThemeForest

5.4 No Uniqueness Guarantee

Canvas Builder does not guarantee that any generated layout is unique. Multiple users may receive similar outputs from similar prompts. You should not rely on generated layouts as proof of original creative authorship.

5.5 Our Rights

Canvas Builder retains all rights to:

  • The Canvas Builder application, brand, and platform
  • Our proprietary AI generation system and prompting methodology
  • Anonymised usage data (aggregate generation patterns, performance metrics) for service improvement

5.6 Your Prompts

You retain ownership of the prompts you submit. By submitting prompts, you grant us a limited, non-exclusive licence to process and store them to deliver the Service. We do not use your prompts to train AI models or share them with third parties.

6. Acceptable Use

Canvas Builder may only be used for lawful purposes. You agree to use the Service in accordance with all applicable laws and regulations and in a manner that does not:

  • Infringe the intellectual property rights of any third party
  • Generate content intended to deceive, defraud, or harm others
  • Violate any person's privacy or data protection rights
  • Facilitate illegal activities

7. Prohibited Conduct

The following activities are expressly prohibited:

  • Automation abuse: Using automated scripts, bots, or tools to generate layouts at scale or circumvent credit limits
  • Account sharing: Sharing your account credentials with others to pool credits
  • Reverse engineering: Attempting to reverse-engineer, decompile, or extract our AI prompting system or methodology
  • Harmful content: Generating layouts that promote violence, illegal activity, hate speech, or explicit adult content
  • Phishing: Generating layouts designed to impersonate legitimate businesses, financial institutions, or government entities for fraudulent purposes
  • Service interference: Attempting to overload, disrupt, or interfere with the Service or its infrastructure
  • Scraping: Systematically scraping, crawling, or extracting data from the Service
  • Circumvention: Using VPNs, proxies, or other means to circumvent geographic restrictions or rate limits

Violation of these restrictions may result in immediate account termination without refund.

8. Canvas Template Licence Requirement

Canvas Builder generates HTML layouts built on the Canvas HTML Template by SemiColonWeb, available on ThemeForest. Generated layouts reference Canvas's CSS, JavaScript, fonts, and icon libraries.

8.1 Licence Requirement for Live Use

To deploy a generated layout on a live website, you must hold a valid Canvas Template licence. Canvas Builder does not grant, include, or substitute for the Canvas Template licence. You are solely responsible for obtaining the appropriate licence for your use:

  • Regular Licence — covers unlimited client and personal projects; cannot be used to create a product that is sold/distributed as a template for others to reuse
  • Extended Licence — required if generated layouts are incorporated into a product (e.g., a SaaS platform) where end users pay to access or use the layout itself

Purchase the Canvas Template here (just $16): ThemeForest — Canvas HTML Template

8.2 Existing Canvas Buyers

If you have already purchased the Canvas Template on ThemeForest, your existing licence covers use of generated layouts within the scope of that licence. Verified Canvas buyers receive 10 free bonus credits upon Envato account verification — this is a courtesy benefit and does not modify the scope of your Canvas licence.

8.3 Development & Preview Use

Generating and previewing layouts within Canvas Builder, or using generated layouts locally for development and testing purposes, does not require a Canvas Template licence. The licence requirement applies when a generated layout is deployed to a publicly accessible production website.

8.4 No Affiliation

Canvas Builder is an independent product operated by SemiColonWeb. While we are the authors of the Canvas Template, Canvas Builder and the Canvas Template are separate products with separate licences. Purchasing credits on Canvas Builder does not grant you a Canvas Template licence, and vice versa.

9. Disclaimers

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.

We do not warrant that:

  • The Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or available at any specific time
  • Generated layouts will meet your specific requirements or be fit for any particular purpose
  • Generated HTML will be free of bugs, browser compatibility issues, or security vulnerabilities
  • AI-generated content will be accurate, complete, or legally compliant for your use case

You are responsible for reviewing, testing, and validating all generated layouts before deploying them in production.

10. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, CANVAS BUILDER AND ITS OPERATORS SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE SERVICE.

Our total liability to you for any claims arising from these Terms or your use of the Service shall not exceed the amount you paid to Canvas Builder in the 3 months preceding the claim.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of implied warranties or liability, so some of the above limitations may not apply to you.

11. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Canvas Builder and its operators from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from:

  • Your use of the Service in violation of these Terms
  • Your violation of any third-party rights, including intellectual property rights
  • Content you generate using the Service
  • Your violation of any applicable law or regulation

12. Termination

12.1 By You

You may terminate your account at any time by going to Account → Danger Zone → Delete Account. Deletion is permanent and all data (including generation history) will be erased within 30 days.

12.2 By Us

We may suspend or terminate your account immediately, without notice, if you:

  • Violate these Terms or our Acceptable Use policy
  • Engage in fraudulent, abusive, or illegal activity
  • Initiate a chargeback without first contacting us
  • Pose a security risk to the Service or other users

We may also terminate or suspend accounts with 30 days' notice for business reasons (e.g., discontinuing the Service). In such cases, we will refund unused credits pro-rata.

12.3 Effect of Termination

Upon termination: your right to access the Service ceases; unused credits are forfeited (unless terminated by us for business reasons); and Sections 5, 8, 9, 10, and 11 survive termination.

13. Governing Law & Disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Victoria, Australia, without regard to conflict of law principles. Any disputes arising from these Terms or your use of the Service shall first be attempted to be resolved through good-faith negotiation by contacting us at [email protected].

If we cannot resolve the dispute within 60 days, it shall be submitted to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. Notwithstanding this, either party may seek emergency injunctive relief in any court of competent jurisdiction.

14. Changes to Terms

We reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time. We will notify you of material changes by:

  • Posting updated Terms at this URL with a new effective date
  • Sending an email to your registered address
  • Showing an in-app banner on your next login

Changes take effect 14 days after notification. Continued use of the Service after the effective date constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms. If you do not accept the updated Terms, you must delete your account before the effective date.
