Interpretive note: The excerpt uses an ellipsis after 'merchantability', suggesting additional disclaimed warranties are present in the full clause but not reproduced here. Only the warranties present in the quoted excerpt are addressed.
The updated terms establish a non-compete restriction prohibiting sellers from using Square's Services to build or support competing products or services, with account termination and indefinite fund holds stated as potential consequences for violations. Square now authorizes collection of your business brand assets (names, logos, menus, photos) from publicly available sources and grants itself and its subsidiaries broad rights to use, modify, and prepare derivative works of those assets for Block's business purposes, including developing, training, testing, and improving products and services. The revised payment terms require you to select a primary payment method at signup, and authorize Square to collect fees from that method or, if collection fails, from your transaction proceeds or Square account balance; you represent and warrant that any linked bank account was not established for personal purposes and that you are an authorized user on it.
