Event Summary

Square reordered the list of linked terms and service agreements displayed in their Terms of Service. Specifically, the document rearranged the sequence in which subsidiary agreements and policies are listed, moving some items up and others down in the reference section. This is a formatting change with no substantive modification to the underlying rights, obligations, or substantive provisions in any of the referenced agreements.

LOW

Consumer Impact

This change reorganizes how Square presents its linked subsidiary agreements and policies within the main Terms of Service document. The substantive content of each referenced agreement remains unchanged; only the order in which they appear in the list has been modified. No changes have been made to consumer rights, obligations, data practices, fees, or dispute resolution procedures.

Governance Analysis

This change has no material operational significance. The reordering is administrative and does not alter the legal protections, obligations, or substantive terms contained in any of the referenced subsidiary agreements.
