A financial technology company that provides payment processing services, point-of-sale systems, and business management tools primarily for small and medium-sized businesses. The platform enables merchants to accept card payments, manage inventory, process payroll, and access lending services through integrated hardware and software solutions. Their privacy and terms policies are significant for both business customers who use their services and end consumers whose payment and personal data is processed through Square's systems.
Higher = more protective of you, the user/customer — a deliberately user-protective lens, not a universal “good vs bad” score. Computed algorithmically from Square’s cited governance stances; no dimension we haven’t confidently read is ever counted against the score. Free, reproducible, and never purchasable.
A one-year limitation period is shorter than statutory limitation periods in many jurisdictions, meaning users who wait longer than one year may be barred from pursuing a claim.
Users lose the ability to join with others in collective legal action against Square and cannot have disputes decided by a jury, significantly limiting available legal remedies.
Users are required to resolve virtually all disputes through individual arbitration rather than court litigation, limiting access to the court system except for small claims.
This cap limits the maximum financial recovery available to users regardless of the actual harm suffered, which may be far less than actual losses.
This exclusion covers virtually every recognized category of damages, including direct damages, meaning users may be unable to recover compensation for most harms caused by Square.
