Circle Terms — Squarespace

Circle Terms

Last Updated: March 3, 2025

Squarespace provides sites, templates, products, applications, tools and features (collectively, the “Services”) to enable its users to build and maintain an online presence. The Services include Circle (“Circle”), a program to support the community of creators, developers and designers who use the Services to build sites for themselves and their clients (“Clients”). Each participant in Circle is a “Circle Partner.”

By signing up for Circle and becoming a Circle Partner, you’re agreeing to these Circle Terms (“Circle Terms”) and the Squarespace Terms of Service (together with the Circle Terms, the “Circle Agreement”). If you’re using Circle for or on behalf of an organization, you’re agreeing to the Circle Agreement on behalf of that organization, and you represent and warrant that you can do so. If you don’t agree to all the terms in the Circle Agreement, you may not be a Circle Partner.

Any capitalized terms not defined in these Circle Terms have the meanings set forth in our Terms of Service. Except as otherwise expressly set forth in these Circle Terms, in the event of a conflict or inconsistency, our Terms of Service shall govern, followed by these Circle Terms. If you have any comments or questions about Circle or the Circle Terms, feel free to contact us.

1. APPLICATION

To qualify to be a Circle Partner, you must register for Circle and provide additional qualifying information requested by Squarespace (collectively, the “Requirements”). You agree to provide us with accurate, complete and updated information for your Circle profile.

We reserve the right, which we may exercise at any time and in our sole discretion, and without liability or notice to you, to: (a) modify the Requirements; (b) grant or deny your participation in Circle; or (c) terminate your participation in Circle. You understand that satisfaction of the Requirements does not guarantee your initial or continuing participation in Circle.

2. BENEFITS

Your participation in Circle may include access to Circle benefits (the “Benefits”). Subject to your participation in Circle and your compliance with the Circle Agreement, Squarespace grants to you a non-exclusive, non-sublicensable, non-transferable, royalty-free, revocable, limited license to use the applicable Circle badge (the “Circle Badges”) corresponding to your level of participation in Circle for the sole purpose of advertising any website design and development services you provide to your Clients using the Services (such services, the “Client Development Services”, and such limited license, the “Logo License”). The Logo License is a Benefit. If you choose to display any Circle Badges, you must display the most up-to-date Circle Badge corresponding to your level of participation. Termination of your participation in Circle will result in immediate termination of your Logo License. Your use of the Circle Badges is subject to the Squarespace Brand Guidelines.

The Benefits are constantly evolving as we refine, add and potentially remove features from Circle, so please check in regularly to see the latest Benefits. Squarespace reserves the right, which we may exercise at any time and in our sole discretion, and without liability or notice to you, to modify or terminate Circle or any Benefits.

Unless otherwise permitted in the Circle Agreement or authorized in writing by Squarespace, you may not refer to yourself as employed by, affiliated with or endorsed by Squarespace, provided that you may refer to yourself as a Circle Partner during the term of your participation in Circle. Neither the Circle Agreement nor your participation in Circle shall create any agency, affiliation or joint venture between you and Squarespace.
