Event Summary

Square removed a reference to their 'Square Payment Terms' document from the list of related terms and policies in their main Terms of Service on April 19, 2026. The substantive waiver language itself was not changed. This appears to be an organizational or documentation update rather than a material change to your rights or obligations.

LOW

Consumer Impact

This change removes a hyperlink or reference to Square's Payment Terms from the main Terms of Service document. Since the underlying Payment Terms themselves were not modified or deleted, this is primarily a documentation or organizational change. Users who previously relied on that cross-reference to access payment-specific terms may need to locate those terms through other means, such as Square's website menu or document search.

Governance Analysis

This change simplifies the list of related documents users may reference when reviewing Square's terms, but does not alter the substantive rights or obligations that apply to payment transactions or any other service. Users remain bound by the Payment Terms; only the hyperlink was removed.

Key Clauses Affected

Related Documents and Cross-References
