Square Team Terms of Service

Effective Date: January 24, 2022

The Square Team Terms of Service (“Team Terms”) is a legal agreement between you (“you,” “your”) and Squareup International Limited, a company incorporated in Ireland with company number 583287 whose registered office is at 70 Sir John Rogerson’s Quay, Dublin 2, Ireland (“Square”, “we,” “our” or “us”) that governs your Team Account and your use of the Team App (the “Services”) as a current or former employee or independent contractor of one or more Square Sellers (your “Employer”) that are subscribed to Team Management.

By using the Services and clicking “Accept” you agree to be bound by these Team Terms. If you do not agree to these Team Terms you will not be permitted to use the Services.

Part One: Your Team Account

1. Description of Service

On behalf of your Employer and at no cost to you, Square provides the Services with features such as mobile access to your timecards, schedule, employee data, and estimated weekly wages based on data provided to Square by your Employer.

Access to the Services is provided to you by us on behalf of your Employer. Your access to the Services may be limited at your Employer’s discretion.

2. Your Team Account

To use the Services, you must create an account with Square (your “Team Account”) by clicking on the link sent to you by your Employer (or by Square on your Employer’s behalf) and registering your email address and a password.

3. Our Relationship to You

You acknowledge that your use of these Services does not create any employment, independent contractor, or third-party beneficiary relationship between you and Square. By using the Services, you acknowledge that your Employer is solely responsible for the accurate calculation and disbursement of your wages. As it concerns the Services, Square shall not be responsible for verifying, and to the extent permitted by applicable laws, Square disclaims any and all liability as to, the accuracy, timeliness, and completeness of any personal, wage, timecards or any other information you or your Employer provides or directly inputs via the Services.

4. Communications

You may receive service communications from us, including email, text messages, calls, and push notifications to the email address and/or the cellular telephone number you or your Employer provide to us when you sign up for the Services. Such communications may include, but are not limited to requests for secondary authentication, reminders and notifications regarding updates to your account or account support.

If you consent to marketing or commercial communications by e-mail or text, you may also opt-out of continuing to receive such communications by following the unsubscribe options on such emails or to such texts. You may opt out of any promotional phone calls by informing the caller that you would not like to receive future promotional calls.

5. Information about Estimated Pay

Any estimated pay calculations provided through Team App are provided merely as a convenience for you and should not be relied upon in making financial commitments. This pay calculation may not reflect your actual pay, and is not a promise or guarantee as to any pay that you may be owed. The estimated pay calculation is an estimate of your regular gross earnings based upon information entered by you and your Employer and does not reflect withholdings, deductions, taxes, and may not include overtime, tips, commissions, bonuses, incentive pay, or other pay or remuneration. To the extent permitted by applicable law, Square disclaims any and all liability as to the accuracy, completeness, or method of calculation of any estimated pay data provided to you through the Services.

6. Information about tip distribution

Any estimated tip distribution calculations provided through Square Team App are provided merely as a convenience for you and are exclusive of taxes and social security charges.

Part Two: Additional Legal Terms

6. Revisions, Disclosures and Notices

Upon acceptance of these Team Terms, you confirm that you have read, understood, and accepted Square’s E-Sign Consent policy. You agree that Square can provide disclosures and notices required by law and other information about the Services to you electronically by posting it on our website, or by emailing it to the email address listed in your Team Account. You also agree that electronic disclosures and notices have the same meaning and effect as if we had provided you with paper copies. Such disclosures and notices are considered received by you within 24 hours of the time posted to our website, or within 24 hours of the time emailed to you unless we receive notice that the email was not delivered.

If you wish to withdraw your consent to receiving electronic communications, you should contact Square Support. If we are not able to support your request, you may need to terminate your Square Team account.

Square may amend these Terms or Policies at any time with notice that it deems to be reasonable in the circumstances, by posting the revised version on Square’s website (the ‘Square Website’) or communicating it to you through the Services (each, a ‘Revised Version’). Each Revised Version will be effective as of the time it is posted. Your continued use of the Services after the posting of a Revised Version constitutes your acceptance of such Revised Version. However, any dispute that arose before the changes will be governed by the Terms and Policies in place when the dispute arose.
