purchase is is not an ​Ineligible Purchase as defined in ​Annex B ​(collectively, a “​Qualified
Purchase​”)​, your account will be credited in the amount specified in the Insertion Order. Any
referral fees credited to your account from a subscription or other product that is later refunded

next round of payments. We reserve the right to withhold payments due to you under the
Program for up to 90 calendar days from the date the referred Subscriber establishes a Canva
account.

cookie on the referred party's web browser. A Subscriber must have an unexpired subscriber
cookie in their browser when they complete their first purchase. If the cookies are not accepted
or if they are removed or expired, the referred Subscriber will not be identified as your referral. A
referral is deemed locked after the lock in period specified in the Insertion Order passes and no
issues in the referral are found by the Company.

Program, or who have commissions that are potentially fraudulent as determined by Us in Our

suspect fraud or other improper activity or a potential breach of any of the terms of this

Affiliate's current and future fees any and all fees corresponding to any fraudulent, questionable,

the balance of such refunded purchase upon termination of the program or termination of the
Referred Customer.

7.5. We reserve the right to immediately cancel or withhold for later review any fee that fails to
meet the criteria of a “Qualified Purchase.” Affiliate is responsible for monitoring the payment,
denial, and withholding of fees; We are not obligated to actively notify Affiliates of the status of
fees. If Affiliate has a question about fees that has been cancelled or withheld, Affiliate has thirty
(30) days from the day the payment would have been due to contact Us to request that the fee
be paid. Any changes to decisions about cancelled or withheld fees are strictly made in Our sole
discretion.
