Terms and Conditions
Last Updated: May 2026
1. Acceptance of Terms
By accessing or using the CAN Activity app (“App”) or the CAN Website (https://www.creativeapplications.net), you agree to be bound by these Terms & Conditions. If you do not agree, do not use the App or our Website.
We shall not be liable if for any reason the App or Website are unavailable at any time or for any period. Access to the Website or App may be suspended temporarily or permanently without notice.
2. Description of Service
CAN Website provides a range of features for the Creative Applications Network (CAN) community. Some of these features may be exclusively available on the Website.
CAN Activity (App) provides a feed of activity from the Creative Applications Network (CAN) community. The App allows authenticated members to view and post activity logs, view latest posts, events, and community updates.
“Service” is considered as access to both CAN Activity (App) and the CAN Website.
3. Account Terms
You must be 16 years or older to use our Website or the App. You must be a human. Accounts registered by “bots” or other automated methods are not permitted.
You must provide your legal full name, a valid email address, and any other information requested in order to complete the signup process.
Your login may only be used by one person — a single login shared by multiple people is ONLY permitted for “Education”, “Supporter”, and “Studio” accounts. If you have subscribed as “Studio”, up to 40 users are allowed to use a single login.
You are responsible for maintaining the security of your account and password. We cannot and will not be liable for any loss or damage from your failure to comply with this security obligation.
You are responsible for all content posted and activity that occurs under your account (even when content is posted by others who have accounts under your account – educational accounts).
The use of automated agents, AI frameworks, or “agentic” software (including but not limited to OpenClaw, MultiOn, or custom headless browser scripts) to access, navigate, or harvest data from the Service is strictly prohibited, regardless of whether such tools are operated by a registered human user.
You may not use the Service for any illegal or unauthorised purpose. You must not, in the use of the Service, violate any laws in your jurisdiction (including but not limited to copyright laws).
4. Payment, Refunds, Upgrading and Downgrading
Subscriptions via the CAN Website: PayPal is required for paying single user accounts (Stripe in some special cases). If you are a Studio and prefer not to use PayPal, Stripe payment is also available. Stripe is also available for standard membership accounts if no PayPal access is available. Please get in touch for details.
Subscriptions via the CAN Activity App: Membership subscriptions purchased through the App are processed by Apple and subject to Apple’s payment terms. You may manage or cancel your App Store subscription at any time through your Apple ID account settings. Refunds for App Store purchases are handled by Apple in accordance with their refund policy.
5. Educational Accounts
Education accounts are available only to educators to be used by students to access protected material otherwise not available to non-registered users. The users of “Educational” accounts are required not to circulate details of these accounts beyond their class or within the demise of their educational institution or course of study. Likewise, the managers of these accounts (educators) are expected to inform their students of the same and retain responsibility to maintain and regularly update passwords on the accounts to prevent misuse. If the “Education” account has not been used for more than a year it may be made “Inactive”. To reactivate an “Education” account, please get in touch with us. We retain the right to delete these accounts at any time should misuse occur and will notify the account manager/registrar of such actions prior to deletion.
Important Changes to Educational Accounts, Effective Jan 2026
- New Educational Accounts
To request a new (free) Educational Account for your students, you must first have a Personal Account. Once registered, you can request an Educational Account by visiting your edit-profile page. - Existing Educational Accounts
To continue using your Educational Account, educators are required to have a Personal Account (Standard, Supporter, or Studio Membership). You must use a different email address when creating a new Personal Account. If your Educational Account uses your personal email address, please change it first before registering for a new Personal Account. - Educational Accounts are linked to Personal Accounts
Using your Personal Account on our Website, on the edit-profile page, you will find a section titled “Education” where you can request a new Educational Account or view existing ones. - No Personal Account = No Educational Account
From January 2026, Educational Accounts not linked to Personal Accounts will be disabled. - Linking Educational Accounts to Personal Accounts
Account linking is performed by our admins. Please send us an email at education@creativeapplications.net including the username of your Personal Account and the username of your Educational Account. - Expired Personal Accounts = Expired Educational Accounts
Your Educational Account is active as long as you maintain your Personal Account. When Personal Accounts expire, they are deleted along with any linked Educational Accounts. - Managing Educational Accounts
Educational Accounts can only be managed through your linked Personal Account via the Education section on your edit-profile page on our website. - Legacy Educational Accounts
Accounts created before 01/01/2026 and not linked to Personal Accounts will be disabled and deleted. Please link your accounts to prevent this.

Creative Applications Network, in its sole discretion, has the right to suspend or terminate your account and refuse any and all current or future use of the service, or any other service, for any reason at any time. Such termination of the service will result in the deactivation or deletion of your Account or your access to your account, and the forfeiture and relinquishment of all Content in your Account. We reserve the right to refuse service to anyone for any reason at any time.
You are solely responsible for properly canceling your Account.
When you cancel your subscription, the auto-renewal is deactivated immediately, and you will not be charged again. Your membership remains active, and you will continue to have full access to the Service until the end of your current billing cycle. Upon the conclusion of this period, your account will convert to ‘expired’ and login access will be disabled. Please ensure you only cancel your subscription when you are certain you no longer require access to the Service.
