Square Shop Sales and Return Policy

Thank you for shopping at Square. This Sales and Return Policy applies to your purchase of Square hardware (“Square Hardware”) and third party hardware and accessories (“Third Party Hardware,” and collectively with Square Hardware, “Products”) from Square.

Shipping

We will ship Products using a carrier selected by us. Your order checkout page shows your shipping method, estimated time, and any shipping fees. While we will try to meet your shipment and delivery dates, we may be unable to do so in the event of low Product inventory. In addition, many events beyond our control can affect the delivery of your Products after we provide it to the carrier. Therefore, we are not liable for late shipment or delivery or any loss, damage, or penalty you incur from any delay in shipment or delivery. Notwithstanding the foregoing, risk of loss and title for Products pass to you upon delivery to you.

Returns

If you are not fully satisfied with your purchase, you may return your Products within thirty (30) days of delivery so long as they are in their original condition and packaging and you enclose the original packaging slip. iPads and other Apple Product returns must be unopened. We do not accept returns of iPads or other Apple Products where any part of the original packaging has been opened, broken, or altered. We will refund your purchase price in full and cover the cost of return shipping. You must return all Products, cords, cables, parts and documentation that were included with the original package. Products purchased from Square through an installment plan are not eligible for partial returns, and must be returned with all other Products included in the installment plan purchase. Refunds will be applied to the original purchase method. Only Products purchased directly from Square can be returned to Square. Products you purchase through our authorized retail partners must be returned in accordance with their respective return policies.

Availability

The Products offered from Square consist of Square Hardware as well as Third Party Hardware purchased and resold by Square. From time to time, we may be unable to manufacture or obtain a sufficient supply of Products. In addition, there may be occasions when we confirm your order but subsequently learn that we are unable to supply your Products. Therefore, we reserve the right at any time to limit or change quantities available for purchase or to cancel your order. If we cancel your order, we will refund your purchase price in full.

End User Customers

We sell and ship Products only to customers located in the United States for their own use. You may not purchase Products for resale, and we reserve the right to refuse or cancel your order if we believe you will do so. Your use of the Products is governed by Square’s Terms of Service and related agreements and policies available at https://squareup.com/legal.
