Bank Account Debit Authorizations
Effective Date: November 15, 2024
This Bank Account Debit Authorization forms part of, and is subject to the provisions of, the Squarespace Payments Terms. Capitalized terms that are not defined in this Bank Account Debit Authorization have the meanings set forth in the Terms of Service.
By using the Payments Services, you agree to Squarespace’s right to debit your bank account (your Payout Account) and you authorize Squarespace to debit your bank account to collect any fees owed or other amounts due to Squarespace.
Your authorization to Squarespace extends to any bank account that you link to the Payments Services (i.e., any Payout Account). Your authorization is in complete compliance with any applicable bank debit rules, including the debit scheme authorization and mandate language included below. Your authorization to debit any of your Payout Accounts includes the specific mandate or authorization language for the specific debit scheme that covers your bank account (e.g. for UK bank accounts the Bacs language will apply).
You further are responsible for ensuring that your bank account can accept the applicable country scheme debits (e.g., Bacs for UK bank accounts, etc.). The debit scheme language for each bank scheme is incorporated into your authorization to Squarespace to debit any of your Payout Accounts with the same force and effect as if you had signed a paper and obtained a hard copy containing the same terms. You will ensure that your bank account has sufficient funds to allow for a debit. If a debit is returned to Squarespace because your bank account has insufficient funds, it is your responsibility to fund your bank account so that we can re-process the debit.
