Squarespace removed promotional language and discount terms from its Terms of Service on August 21, 2026. The document previously included a 20% discount offer for new website plans, associated code entry instructions, and restrictions on how the discount could be applied (first payment only, no recurring payments, no combination with other offers or In-App Pay). These five sentences describing the promotional offer have been deleted, and the terms now contain no reference to this specific promotion.

What this means for you

The updated Terms of Service no longer include promotional discount language that was previously present. The removal of the 20% off new website plans offer and associated coupon code instructions means this specific promotion is no longer referenced in the binding terms document. Whether this promotion remains available through other marketing channels cannot be determined from this document change alone.
