By accessing or using https://www.layerre.com and our API (the "Services"), you agree to these Terms. If you disagree, do not use the Services.

Our Privacy Policy and, where you process personal data of others through Layerre, our Data Processing Addendum also apply.

2. Use license and restrictions

2.1 License grant

Subject to your compliance with these Terms, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to access and use the Services for their intended purposes.

3. User content and Canva

3.1 Your content and generated outputs

You retain all ownership rights to content you upload or provide through the Services ("Your Content"). You also own the images, PDFs, and other files the Services generate for you from Your Content ("Outputs"), to the extent we can grant those rights. You may use, reproduce, display, distribute, sell, and otherwise commercially exploit Outputs in your business without further permission from Layerre. This does not transfer rights in third-party materials embedded in a design (for example Canva fonts, stock, or brand kits); those remain subject to their own licenses.

You grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to use, store, process, and display Your Content and Outputs solely to provide and improve the Services.

You are responsible for complying with Canva's (or any other platform's) terms of service and licenses, including fonts, stock, and brand kits

5. Plans, billing, and refunds

5.1 Plans and credits

Layerre offers a free plan and paid subscription plans billed through Stripe. Current prices and included credits (renders) are shown on the pricing page. Credits reset each billing period. Unused credits do not roll over unless we state otherwise for a specific promotion.

5.2 Subscriptions

Paid plans renew automatically each month or year until you cancel
You authorize Stripe to charge the payment method on file
You can change plans or cancel in the Stripe billing portal from your billing page
Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current paid period; you keep paid-plan access until then
If a payment fails (past due), we may limit you to free-tier usage until payment succeeds

5.3 Refunds

Fees are billed in advance and are non-refundable, including for unused credits or partial billing periods, except where a refund is required by applicable law (including consumer-protection laws that cannot be waived). If you believe you were charged in error, email hello@layerre.com.

6. Intellectual property

The Layerre platform itself (including our software, website, API, documentation, logos, and trademarks) is owned by Layerre. You may not copy, reverse engineer, or resell the platform as a competing hosted service.

That restriction does not apply to Your Content or Outputs. You are free to use what Layerre generates for your business, as described in section 3.1.

Feedback you send us may be used to improve the Services without obligation or compensation to you.

7. Disclaimer of warranties

THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. We do not warrant that the Services will be uninterrupted, secure, or error-free, or that renders will match a Canva file pixel-for-pixel. You use the Services at your own risk.

8. Limitation of liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, LAYERRE SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES; LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, USE, OR GOODWILL; SERVICE INTERRUPTIONS; OR UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS TO YOUR DATA. OUR TOTAL LIABILITY SHALL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US IN THE 12 MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability that cannot be excluded under applicable law, including liability for fraud, gross negligence, or death or personal injury caused by negligence, or rights of consumers in the EEA/UK that cannot be waived.

9. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Layerre from claims, damages, and reasonable legal fees arising from: your use of the Services; Your Content; your violation of these Terms; your violation of third-party rights (including Canva or other design-platform licenses); or your violation of law. This does not apply to the extent a claim is caused by our willful misconduct, where such limitation is not permitted by law.

10. Account deletion and termination

10.1 By you

You may delete your account at any time in Profile. Deletion removes your templates, variants, API keys, and account data from production systems. Some records may be retained as required by law (for example billing records) or in backups for a limited period, as described in the Privacy Policy.

10.2 By us

We may suspend or terminate access for violation of these Terms, illegal or fraudulent activity, abuse, non-payment, or if we discontinue the Services. We will try to give reasonable notice except where immediate action is needed for security or legal reasons.

10.3 Effects

Upon termination your right to use the Services ends. Provisions that should survive (including indemnification, IP, and limitation of liability) remain in effect.

11. Third-party services

The Services integrate with third parties (including Canva, Stripe, Google, Microsoft, and automation tools such as Make, Zapier, and n8n). We are not responsible for their content, availability, or terms. Your use of those services is at your own risk.

12. Changes

We may modify these Terms or the Services (including pricing and features). For material changes to the Terms we will update the Last Updated date and, where practical, email registered users. Continued use after changes constitutes acceptance, except where law requires additional consent. If you do not agree, stop using the Services and delete your account.

13. Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Province of Ontario, Canada, without regard to conflict-of-law principles, except that mandatory consumer-protection laws of your country of residence may still apply.

Disputes shall first be addressed in good faith. If unresolved, they may be brought in the courts of Ontario, Canada, unless applicable law gives you the right to sue in your local courts.

Where permitted by law, you agree to resolve disputes on an individual basis and waive class actions. This waiver does not apply where prohibited, including for consumers in jurisdictions that ban such waivers.

If a provision is unenforceable, the rest remains in effect
Failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver
