When you close your Squire Platform Account, you authorize Squire to request the Payment Processor to freeze your account and withhold all or a portion of the amounts due to you under the Agreement for up to 180 days (or such longer period as may be required by applicable law, regulation, or third party requirement, including as required by Third-Party Providers or Third-Party Terms) to protect Squire, its Affiliates, or a third party against any liability, including Transactions and Chargebacks.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, provided Enterprise Customer provides Squire with at least thirty (30) days’ notice prior to the termination date, Squire will use commercially reasonable efforts to assist Enterprise Customer for no more than thirty (30) days after the termination date in order to provide access to Enterprise Customer’s Client Data. After such thirty-day period, Squire shall have no obligation to retain or provide the Client Data to Enterprise Customer, except as required by applicable law.

You agree that you will not request access to or information about any other Enterprise Customer’s Squire Platform Account, and you will resolve any account-related disputes not caused by Squire directly with the other party. If we are unable to reasonably determine which individual has authority to act as the Primary Enterprise Contact on behalf of Enterprise Customer, we will require you to resolve the matter through proper channels outside of Squire. When such a dispute is identified, we may at our sole discretion, and without any liability for doing so, (i) take instruction from any individual designated as Primary Enterprise Contact; or (ii) suspend any Squire Platform Account associated with the dispute, including disabling login and instruction capabilities.

Your use of the Third-Party Services shall be subject to (and you agree to be bound by) such Third-Party Terms as they may be modified from time to time by the Third-Party Provider.

BY USING THE SQUIRE SERVICES, YOU RELEASE AND HOLD US HARMLESS FROM ANY AND ALL LIABILITY ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF ANY THIRD-PARTY SERVICES OR OTHER INTERACTIONS WITH THIRD-PARTY PROVIDERS. Similarly, you acknowledge that the Third-Party Providers do not endorse and are not responsible for the Squire Services.
- You Give Us Permission to Share Information with Third-Party Providers: You hereby authorize Squire to share any information you provide to us, including, but not limited to, Registration Data and Personal Information about Primary Customer Contacts, Shop Users, and Enterprise Customers, with any Third-Party Provider, and you authorize each Third-Party Provider to share your information with us, as may be reasonably required for you to use and access the Squire Services.

These specific authorizations are in addition to any collection and use of any information described in the Privacy Policy.
- We Can Change Third-Party Providers: Squire has the right to terminate or amend its agreements with any of its Third-Party Providers or replace any existing Third-Party Provider currently providing Third-Party Services with a different Third-Party Provider, at any time, in Squire’s sole discretion. Such actions by Squire may cause you or require you to terminate any existing agreements or accounts with Third-Party Providers created in connection with use of the Squire Services. You agree to cooperate with Squire and the applicable Third-Party Providers impacted to either onboard or offboard as reasonably required to ensure continuation of your access to the Squire Services.

You hereby authorize us to charge your Payment Method for any amounts owed to Squire, including Subscription Fees, Platform Fees, and any Transaction Losses (defined below), and to process these payments using the valid Payment Method you have supplied. You will update or replace the information for any Payment Method that expires with information for a valid one. If your Payment Method is automatically replaced with a new Payment Method by a payment processor, you acknowledge and agree that we are authorized to deduct any charges recorded by us on your Squire Platform Account against the Payment Method. You represent and warrant the Primary Enterprise Contact is authorized to use your Payment Method, and that any and all charges that may be billed to that Payment Method will not be rejected.

The primary merchant descriptor or billing descriptor for each Transaction as it may appear on a Client’s bank or credit card statement will be the name of Enterprise Customer.

- Governing Law: These Enterprise Terms and the relationship between you and Squire shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York without regard to its conflict of law provisions. Other than as provided with respect to arbitration, you and Squire agree to submit to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction of the courts located in New York City, Manhattan, New York County, New York.
- Jury Waiver: EACH PARTY HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS, INCLUDING ANY COMMON LAW OR STATUTORY OR OTHER CLAIMS UNDER LOCAL, STATE, OR FEDERAL LAW.

- Time Limitations: You and Squire both agree that regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action arising out of or related to these Enterprise Terms must be filed within ONE (1) YEAR after such claim or cause of action arose or be forever barred.
- Disputes; Arbitration:
i. Disputes; Mandatory Informal Dispute Resolution: We want to address your concerns without needing a formal legal case. Before filing a claim against Squire, you agree to try to resolve the Dispute informally by contacting us at [email protected]. We will try to resolve the Dispute by contacting you via email, but if we cannot resolve the Dispute within thirty (30) days of submission, you and/or Squire agree to resolve any claims related to these Enterprise Terms through final and binding arbitration, except as set forth under ‘Exceptions to Agreement to Arbitrate’ section below.
ii. Arbitration Agreement: Except in the event the claim meets the requirements set forth in the “Exceptions to Agreement to Arbitrate” section below, all claims shall be settled by binding arbitration in accordance with the commercial arbitration rules, in effect at the time the proceedings begin, of the American Arbitration Association. Any such controversy and/or claim shall be arbitrated on an individual basis, and shall not be consolidated in any arbitration with any claim or controversy of any other party. All information relating to and/or disclosed by any party in connection with the arbitration of any Disputes shall be treated by the parties, their representatives, and the arbitrator as proprietary business information and shall not be disclosed without prior written authorization of the disclosing party. The arbitration shall be held in New York City, Manhattan, New York County, New York, USA or any other location we agree to. Each party shall bear the burden of its own counsel fees incurred in connection with any arbitration proceedings. THE ARBITRATOR WILL NOT BE EMPOWERED AND DOES NOT HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO HEAR OR DECIDE ANY CLASS, CONSOLIDATED OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION, TO AWARD PUNITIVE OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES OR TO AWARD ATTORNEYS’ FEES TO THE PREVAILING PARTY.
iii. Exceptions to Agreement to Arbitrate: Either you and/or Squire may assert claims, if it qualifies, in small claims court in New York City, Manhattan, New York County, New York. Either party may bring a lawsuit solely for injunctive relief to stop unauthorized use and/or abuse of the Squire Platform, Squire Services, breach of Squire’s confidential information and/or intellectual property infringement (for example, trademark, trade secret, copyright and/or patent rights) without first engaging in arbitration and/or the informal Dispute-resolution process described herein.
