General
We nurture creative experimentation and turn the aspirational into the achievable. At RusCanvas, we believe that there’s a creative spark within all of us and that everyone, at heart, is a creator. Welcome to the RusCanvas community!
These Terms of Use (“Terms” or “Agreement”) apply to your use of any of our websites, mobile apps, products, or services, including RusCanvas Hub (our “Services”). These Terms apply to anyone who accesses our Services, whether as registered users or guests (each a “Creator” or “you”), and is an agreement between you and Visual Supply Company (“RusCanvas”).
We’ve removed as much legal language as possible to make it easier for you to understand your rights and obligations regarding our Services. Since these Terms (which include our Community Guidelines) form a binding legal agreement between you and RusCanvas, however, we included necessary legal language in certain provisions. Please read these Terms carefully.
By using our Services, you agree:
to follow the Community Guidelines at all times while accessing or using our Services;
that we have the sole discretion to investigate and determine whether someone has violated our Community Guidelines and to what extent we enforce our Community Guidelines, including when to terminate Creators’ RusCanvas accounts and remove Creator Content (defined below); and
to our collection and use of personal data as described in our Privacy Policy.
We respect and value the intellectual property rights of others and comply to the fullest extent with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 (“DMCA”). You can notify us and request removal of your copyright protected work via the form provided in our DMCA Policy (incorporated into these Terms).
Subscription Notice: If you purchase a Subscription, your Subscription will continue for the time period you selected at purchase. Your Subscription will automatically renew for similar time periods at our then-current fees, unless you decide not to renew. If you terminate your RusCanvas account, this will not automatically cancel your Subscription. You can cancel your Subscription or opt out of any renewal by following the steps described here and in our Help Center.
Arbitration Notice: These Terms describe how disputes between you and RusCanvas will be resolved. With limited exceptions, disputes must first be resolved through an informal claims resolution process as described in Section 13 below. If disputes are not resolved through such informal process, they must be submitted to binding and final arbitration. You may pursue claims and seek relief against us only on an individual basis, and not as a representative plaintiff or class member in any class action. You also waive your right to resolve claims in court proceedings and to a jury trial, except in specific cases. You may opt out of the Arbitration Agreement as explained below in more detail.

Content Moderation. We support the freedom of our Creators to express themselves, and, as a result, do not conduct generalized monitoring of all Creator Content.

For example, we use classifiers to proactively detect illegal content and content that violates our policies, including as set forth in our Community Guidelines. Creators can report Creator Content posted by other Creators. More information on our reporting and enforcement process is available on our Safety Center.
Recommender Systems. We use recommender systems to support your creative journey and help you build your community, some examples are: we suggest Creators who we think you are likely to follow based on who you already follow, to present Creator Content that we think you would be inspired by, recommend presets and other editing tools for a specific piece of content, and suggest creators and content for RusCanvas Hub Customers. This Help Center Article (How RusCanvas Search and Recommender Systems Work) contains more details about these recommender systems. .
Suspensions. If we suspend your account due to a violation of these Terms, including our Community Guidelines, this action will be permanent, unless and until you make a successful appeal.

You may need to provide us, our third-party payment service provider, or the App Marketplace with valid credit card information, PayPal account, or other permitted payment method (“Payment Information”). You authorize us, our third-party payment service provider, or the App Marketplace to charge your Payment Information for all amounts due and payable for the products and services you purchase from us.

The timing of billing may change at any time. After your initial or subsequent Subscription period, your Subscription will automatically renew on the first day following the end of such period (each a “Renewal Commencement Date”) and continue for an additional similar period at our then-current price.

If you do not cancel before this time, you are responsible for payment for the full Subscription period.

Any compensation for your activities on RusCanvas Hub will be solely determined between you and any RusCanvas Hub Customer with whom you enter into an agreement.

11. TERM AND TERMINATION

12. INFORMAL CLAIM RESOLUTION
Informal Claim Resolution First. RusCanvas is committed to creating a creator-first experience. We want to work with you to resolve any disputes relating to these Terms or our Services informally. Before pursuing formal resolution of any dispute, you agree to give us an opportunity to resolve any disputes by contacting "RusCanvas Legal Department: Claims Resolution," by mail to 548 Market Street, Suite 92958, San Francisco, California 94104-5401. You must include information about the nature of your claim, the amount involved, if any, and the remedies you are seeking. We both agree to use good faith and reasonable commercial efforts to resolve any such claims. If the dispute is not resolved within 60 days from the date we receive your notice, you may seek relief through binding arbitration.
13. ARBITRATION AGREEMENT
Please read the following arbitration agreement ("Arbitration Agreement") carefully. This section provides that you and RusCanvas agree to resolve all disputes between us through binding arbitration and includes a class action and jury waiver. This agreement supersedes all prior versions.
Arbitration Notice and Agreement. This Arbitration Agreement requires you to arbitrate disputes between you and RusCanvas, which means you will only be able to pursue claims and seek relief against us on an individual basis through arbitration. You are also waiving your right to seek relief in a court of law and to have a jury trial. This Arbitration Agreement will continue to apply even if you delete, or we suspend or terminate, your Account.
Applicability of Arbitration Agreement. You agree that any dispute, claim, or request for relief relating in any way to your access or use of our Services, to any products sold or distributed through our Services, or to any aspect of your relationship with us, will be resolved by binding arbitration, rather than in court, except that you and RusCanvas can seek equitable relief in court for infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights (such as trademarks, trade secrets, copyrights, and patents), any illegal or intentional act affecting the accessibility, functionality, or the security of our Services, and/or any illegal or intentional act against your interests or RusCanvas general business interests. This Arbitration Agreement applies, without limitation, to all disputes or claims and requests for relief that originated before the effective date of this Agreement or any prior version of this Agreement. You agree to this Arbitration Agreement as a condition of your use (or continued use) of our Services every time it is changed or updated.
Arbitration Rules and Forum. The Federal Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C. § 1 et seq.) (“FAA”), including its procedural provisions, in all respects, applies to the interpretation and enforcement of this Arbitration Agreement. To begin an arbitration proceeding after complying with the informal dispute resolutions provided above, you must send a Demand for Arbitration, including a copy of these Terms and a description of your dispute to New Era ADR at app.neweraadr.com, with copies to (1) RusCanvas at ukrenergoholdyng@gmail.com , and (2) our registered agent at CT Corp, 1209 Orange Street, Wilmington, Delaware, 19801.
The following rules and procedures shall apply to any arbitration proceeding brought under these Terms:
Arbitrations will be administrated by New Era ADR in accordance with their Virtual Expedited Arbitration Rules and Procedures as well as any applicable General Rules and Procedures, except as modified by these Terms. New Era ADR's Virtual Expedited Arbitration Rules and Procedures and General Rules and Procedures are both available at www.neweraadr.com/rules-and-procedures.
The arbitration will be conducted by a professional arbitrator(s) with substantial experience in resolving commercial disputes. The arbitrator will be selected pursuant to New Era ADR’s standard rank and strike process as described in New Era ADR’s General Rules and Procedures.
If a claim seeks equitable relief (including injunctive relief), the arbitrator will bifurcate the proceeding and rule on liability first, before conducting any proceedings (including discovery) related to the appropriate relief.
Unless applicable law provides otherwise, the arbitration proceeding and all records pertaining to it, including but not limited to any documents prepared or produced in connection with the arbitration proceeding, the hearing and/or the arbitration award, will be confidential and will not be disclosed to any third party, except to obtain court confirmation of any arbitration award as needed.
Any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.
Arbitration Fees. If RusCanvas is initiating an arbitration against you, RusCanvas will pay all costs associated with the arbitration, including the entire filing fee. If you are initiating an arbitration against RusCanvas, you will be responsible for the nonrefundable initial filing fee. If, however, the amount of the initial filing fee is more than you would have to pay to file a complaint in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California (or, for cases where that court would lack original jurisdiction, the California Superior Court, County of San Francisco), RusCanvas will pay the difference between the initial filing fee and the amount you would have to pay to file a complaint in Court. RusCanvas will pay both parties’ administrative fee. Otherwise, New Era ADR sets forth fees for its services, which are available at https://www.neweraadr.com/rules-and-procedures/.
Authority of Arbitrator. The New Era ADR arbitrator(s) assigned to or chosen for your dispute will have exclusive authority to: (a) determine the scope and enforceability of this Arbitration Agreement; and (b) resolve any dispute related to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability, or formation of this Arbitration Agreement. The arbitration proceeding will decide each of your and RusCanvas rights and liabilities, if any. The arbitration proceeding will not be consolidated or joined with any other matters or parties. The arbitrator will have the authority to grant motions resolving any claim, to award monetary damages, and to grant any non-monetary remedy or relief available under applicable law, the arbitral forum’s rules, and this Agreement, including injunctive relief. The arbitrator will issue a written award and decision describing the essential findings and conclusions underlying any award, including the calculation of any damages. The award of the arbitrator is final and binding upon both you and RusCanvas.
Waiver of Jury Trial. You and RusCanvas both waive any constitutional and statutory rights to sue in court and have a trial in front of a judge or a jury, with the exceptions stated in this Arbitration Agreement. If for any reason a dispute proceeds in court rather than in arbitration, you and RusCanvas each waive any right to a jury trial. An arbitrator can award the same damages and relief as a court and must follow our Arbitration Agreement as a court would.
Waiver of Class or Other Non-Individualized Relief. All disputes, claims, and requests for relief within the scope of this Arbitration Agreement must be arbitrated on an individual basis and not on a class or collective basis. Only individual relief is available. Claims of more than one Creator cannot be arbitrated or consolidated with those of another Creator. If the arbitrator issues a decision that enforcement of these provisions is not applicable to a specific dispute, claim or request for relief, then only those specific issues will be removed and brought into the state or federal courts of the State of California.
30-Day Right to Opt Out. You have the right to opt out of the provisions of this Arbitration Agreement by sending written notice of your decision to opt-out to ukrenergoholdyng@gmail.com , within 30 days after you create your Account or continue using your Account after receiving notice of this Arbitration Agreement. Maintaining your Account requires you to read and accept these Terms and this Arbitration Agreement. Your notice must include your name and address, your RusCanvas username (if any), the email address used to set up your Account, and an unequivocal statement that you want to opt out of this Arbitration Agreement. Opting out of this Arbitration Agreement has no effect on any other agreements that you currently have with us, including the rest of these Terms, or may enter in the future with us.
