(“we,” “our,” “us,” “Square”) governing your use of the Square Go services offered through mobile applications (the “App”) and any Square Go websites (the “Website”) (collectively, “Square Go”).

By using Square Go, you agree to be bound by these Square Go Terms, the E-Sign Consent Terms, the Privacy Notice for Square Buyer Services, and the Square Buyer Account Terms of Use (the “Agreement”), which contains terms that limit our liability (see Section 14), and terms regarding individual arbitration for potential legal disputes (see Section 17).

Complaints related to Square Go should be submitted to go-research@squareup.com@squareup.com.

1. Your Participation in Square Go

Square Go is intended to provide you with appointment booking services for certain Square sellers located in the United States (“Seller” or “Sellers”) through a mobile application and website. By using Square Go, you can search for and find Sellers offering relevant services by searching a Sellers’ business name, services, or location. You can also receive recommendations for services offered by certain Sellers we may find relevant to you based on your preferences, booking activity, and interests. You can also complete the booking of an appointment for services with certain Sellers on Square Go.

To use Square Go, you must download the mobile application and you will be required to register a Square Buyer Account directly with Square or log in to an existing account (a “Square Buyer Account”). During registration we will ask you for information, which may include, but is not limited to, your name, email address, text-enabled mobile phone number, and zip code (“Square Buyer Account Information”). Once your Square Buyer Account is registered, you will be able to access the Square Go features, including searching Sellers offering relevant services, receiving recommendations of Sellers offering relevant services, and booking appointments with those Sellers. Your Square Buyer Account also enables access to any of Square’s other Buyer Services. To learn more about your Square Buyer Account and the Square Buyer Services, please refer to the Square Buyer Account Terms of Use available here.

We make no representations or warranties, express or implied, relating to any of the products or services provided by any Seller. Sellers are the sellers of all products and services made available through Square Go and Sellers are solely responsible to you for the care, quality, and delivery of the goods and services that they provide.

2. Revisions, Disclosures, and Notices

We may amend the Square Go Terms at any time with notice that we deem to be reasonable under the circumstances by posting the revised version on our Website (a “Revised Version”). The Revised Version will be effective as of the time it is posted, but will not apply retroactively. Your continued use of Square Go after the posting of a Revised Version constitutes your acceptance of such Revised Version. Any dispute that arose before the Revised Version is posted will be governed by the Square Go Terms in place when the dispute arose.

You agree to Square’s E-Sign Consent. We may provide disclosures and notices required by law and other information about your Square Buyer Account and/or your use of the Square Go Services to you electronically, by posting it on our website, pushing notifications through the Buyer Services, or by emailing it to the email address listed in your Square Buyer Account or that you otherwise provided to Square. 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 twenty-four (24) hours of the time posted to our website, or within twenty-four (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, contact Square Support. If we are not able to support your request, you may need to terminate your use of the Square Go Services and/or your Square Buyer Account.

Headings are included for convenience only, and shall not be considered in interpreting this Agreement. The Agreement does not limit any rights that Square may have under trade secret, copyright, patent, or other laws.
