How to Add Terms and Conditions in Squarespace?

This step-by-step guide will walk you through how you can create and add personalized terms and conditions for your Squarespace page in minutes.

Though the terms and conditions page is not legally required, it’s highly recommended because it provides legal protection and sets out guidelines for how your users should interact with the site, thereby reducing potential liabilities and safeguarding the website’s interests and intellectual property.
