The full scope of restrictions on your ability to use Square is not contained in this document alone — you must also comply with a separate policy document that can be updated independently, and any violation can result in losing access to your payment processing.
Square's Terms of Service create significant limitations on users' legal recourse through mandatory arbitration and a class action waiver, effectively preventing group lawsuits against the company. Square retains broad discretion to suspend or terminate accounts — including holding funds — with limited notice, which poses material financial risk to merchants who rely on Square for payment processing. You can opt out of the mandatory arbitration clause by sending written notice to Square within 30 days of account creation or within 30 days of any material update to the arbitration terms.
