This policy is a part of our Terms of Use. By using Blank Canvas VTA, you’re agreeing to this policy and our Terms of Use.

As a seller on Blank Canvas, your shop content, including shop announcements and shop policies, cannot display discriminatory behavior toward protected groups. Examples of prohibited behavior include, but are not limited to:

• Refusal of service based on membership in one or more protected group
