SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF LIABILITY FOR CONSEQUENTIAL OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

THE EXCLUSIONS AND LIMITATIONS OF DAMAGES SET FORTH ABOVE ARE FUNDAMENTAL ELEMENTS OF THE BASIS OF THE BARGAIN BETWEEN SQUARE AND YOU.

Binding Individual Arbitration

You and Square agree that any and all Disputes, except those that are resolved informally or brought in a small claims court, will be arbitrated by a neutral arbitrator who has the power to award the same individual damages and individual relief that a court can. “Disputes” are defined as any claim, controversy, or dispute between you and Square, its processors, suppliers or licensors (or their respective affiliates, agents, directors or employees), whether based on past, present, or future events, including any claims relating in any way to these Terms or the Services, or any other aspect of our relationship.

ANY ARBITRATION UNDER THESE TERMS WILL ONLY BE ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS; CLASS ARBITRATIONS, CLASS ACTIONS, REPRESENTATIVE ACTIONS, AND CONSOLIDATION WITH OTHER ARBITRATIONS ARE NOT PERMITTED. YOU WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO HAVE YOUR CASE DECIDED BY A JURY AND YOU WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION AGAINST SQUARE. If any provision of this arbitration agreement is found unenforceable, the unenforceable provision will be severed, and the remaining arbitration terms will be enforced (but in no case will there be a class or representative arbitration).

Before an arbitration is commenced, you or Square must first send to the other party a written Notice (“Notice”). Any Notice to Square should be sent by certified mail to: Block, Inc. 1455 Market Street, San Francisco, CA, 94103. Any Notice sent to you will be sent to the address on file for your account. The Notice must: (i) include your name and account number; (ii) describe the nature and basis of the Dispute; and (iii) set forth the specific relief sought. Both parties agree that they will attempt to resolve a dispute through an informal negotiation within thirty (30) days from the date the Notice is sent. After that thirty (30) day period and not before, either party may commence arbitration.

If we are not able to resolve the Dispute by informal negotiation or, as provided below, in a small claims court, all Disputes will be resolved finally and exclusively by binding individual arbitration with a single arbitrator (the “Arbitrator”) administered by the American Arbitration Association (https://www.adr.org) according to this Section and the Consumer Arbitration Rules through the Procedures for the Resolution of Disputes through Document Submission (the “AAA Rules”), including Rule D-3(b), except you and Square will have the right to file early or summary dispositive motions and so long as the claim is arbitrable under the AAA Rules. The Arbitrator shall be responsible for determining all threshold arbitrability issues, including issues relating to whether these Terms (or any aspect thereof) are enforceable, unconscionable or illusory and any defense to arbitration, including waiver, delay, laches, or estoppel. Subject to applicable jurisdictional requirements, you may elect to pursue your claim in your local small-claims court rather than through arbitration so long as your matter remains in small claims court and proceeds only on an individual (non-class or non-representative) basis.

The Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. §§ 1-16, including its procedural provisions, fully applies. So long as it is consistent with the AAA Rules, including Rule D-3(b), the arbitration shall occur through the submission of documents to one arbitrator. To the extent any in-person arbitration hearing is required, the arbitration hearing will occur in San Francisco, California; provided, however, that if circumstances prevent you from traveling to San Francisco, the Arbitrator may hold an in-person hearing in your hometown. The Arbitrator’s award will be binding on the parties and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction. Square values your privacy, particularly with respect to your financial transactions and data. Each of the parties shall maintain the confidential nature of the arbitration and shall not (without the prior written consent of the other party) disclose to any third party the fact, existence, content, award, or other result of the arbitration, except as may be necessary to enforce, enter, or challenge such award in a court of competent jurisdiction or as otherwise required by applicable law. While an arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief, the Arbitrator may do so only with respect to the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by the individual party’s claim. The Arbitrator’s decision and judgment thereon will not have a precedential or collateral estoppel effect.

In accordance with the AAA Rules, the party initiating the arbitration (either you or us) is responsible for paying the applicable filing fee. For purposes of this arbitration provision, references to you and Square also include respective subsidiaries, affiliates, agents, employees, predecessors, successors and assigns as well as authorized users or beneficiaries of the Services. Subject to and without waiver of the arbitration provisions above, you agree that any judicial proceedings (other than small claims actions as discussed above) will be brought in and you hereby consent to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue in the state courts in the City and County of San Francisco, California, or federal court for the Northern District of California.

You may reject this provision, in which case only a court may be used to resolve any Dispute. To reject this provision, you must send us an opt-out notice (the “Opt Out”) within thirty (30) days after you create a Square account or we first provide you with the right to reject this provision. The Opt Out must be mailed to Square, Inc., Attn: Arbitration Provision, Square, Inc. 1455 Market Street, San Francisco, CA 94103. This is the only way of opting out of this provision.  Opting out will not affect any other aspect of these Terms or the Services, and will have no effect on any other or future agreements you may reach to arbitrate with us.

Governing Law

These Terms and any Dispute will be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, as set forth above, and by California law and/or applicable federal law, without regard to its choice of law or conflicts of law principles.

Entire Agreement
These Terms constitute the entire and exclusive understanding and agreement between Square and you regarding the Services and Content, and these Terms supersede and replace any and all prior oral or written understandings or agreements between Square and you regarding the Services and Content. If any provision of these Terms is held invalid or unenforceable that provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible and the other provisions of these Terms will remain in full force and effect. You may not assign or transfer these Terms, by operation of law or otherwise, without Square’s prior written consent. Any attempt by you to assign or transfer these Terms, without such consent, will be null. Square may freely assign or transfer these Terms without restriction. Subject to the foregoing, these Terms will bind and inure to the benefit of the parties, their successors and permitted assigns.

Notices
Any notices or other communications provided by Square under these Terms, including those regarding modifications to these Terms, will be given via email. For notices made by e-mail, the date of receipt will be deemed the date on which such notice is transmitted.

Waiver of Rights
Square’s failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not be considered a waiver of such right or provision. The waiver of any such right or provision will be effective only if in writing and signed by a duly authorized representative of Square. Except as expressly set forth in these Terms, the exercise by either party of any of its remedies under these Terms will be without prejudice to its other remedies under these Terms or otherwise.
