What it is

The agreement grants Squarespace a perpetual, royalty-free license to use any version of a user's site, including trademarks, service marks, and logos, for marketing and promotional purposes. Users waive moral rights and rights of inspection or approval over such use, but may opt out through their account settings or by contacting Unfold directly.

ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

This provision grants Squarespace a perpetual license to feature user sites, including trademarks and logos, in marketing materials without user approval for each use. The waiver of moral rights and inspection rights extends globally. An opt-out mechanism is available through account settings, which limits the practical impact for users who exercise it.

Interpretive note: The enforceability of the global moral rights waiver varies by jurisdiction; some EU member states do not permit contractual waiver of moral rights.
