Squarespace Terms of Service

This document sets out the rules governing your use of Squarespace's services: what rights you give Squarespace over your content, how you pay, and how disputes are handled. Squarespace can change, suspend, or cut off your access to the services at any time, will not refund cancelled paid subscriptions except in its sole discretion, and automatically charges you at each renewal until you cancel. If you have a dispute, you generally must resolve it through individual binding arbitration rather than going to court, though you have thirty days from first agreeing to opt out of that requirement by emailing arbitration-opt-out@squarespace.com.

The Squarespace Terms of Service establish the contractual relationship between Squarespace and its users, defining the scope of permitted use, intellectual property rights, payment obligations, and dispute resolution mechanisms. Squarespace receives a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free, sublicensable, and transferable license to use, modify, publish, and distribute User Content, and retains broad discretion to change, suspend, discontinue, or terminate any part of the Services or user access. The Agreement imposes binding arbitration with a class-action waiver on users, subject to a thirty-day opt-out window, and caps Squarespace's aggregate liability at the greater of $20 or amounts paid by the user in the prior twelve months. Users are assigned sole responsibility for compliance with applicable data protection, security, and privacy laws—including the GDPR and EU ePrivacy Directive/Regulation—and must indemnify Squarespace and its affiliates for all damages, costs, and expenses arising from a breach of the Agreement, with no stated cap on indemnification amounts.

As a Squarespace user, you pre-authorize recurring charges for paid services at each renewal period until you cancel, and you have no contractual right to a refund if you cancel—any refund is at Squarespace's sole discretion. The permanent, royalty-free license you grant Squarespace over your User Content survives even if you leave the platform. Squarespace's total financial liability to you for all claims is capped at the greater of $20 or what you paid in the prior twelve months, and disputes must be resolved individually through binding arbitration. If you want to preserve your right to resolve disputes in court, you must email arbitration-opt-out@squarespace.com within thirty days of the date you first agreed to the Agreement.
