Squarespace takes intellectual property rights seriously and provides clear procedures for handling copyright and trademark infringement claims.

Copyright Infringement Claims

If you believe your copyright is being infringed on a Squarespace-hosted site:

• Submit a Copyright Infringement Notice Form
• Provide evidence of copyright ownership
• Identify the specific infringing content
• Include your contact information

Note: If Squarespace is only the domain registrar, contact the site owner or hosting provider directly.

Trademark Infringement Claims

For trademark violations on Squarespace sites:

• Complete the Trademark Infringement Notice Form
• Provide proof of trademark registration
• Specify the infringing content
• Include your contact information

Squarespace's Response Process

Upon receiving valid infringement claims, Squarespace will:

• Quickly investigate the complaint
• Remove or restrict access to infringing content
• Notify the alleged infringer about the complaint
• Cancel accounts of repeat infringers when appropriate
• Share notice information with involved parties

Important Considerations

• All claims must be made in good faith
• False claims may have legal consequences
• Information provided in notices may be shared with site owners
• The DMCA (17 U.S.C. §512) governs copyright complaints
• Repeat infringers face account termination

Response times vary based on claim complexity and verification requirements. Keep documentation of all correspondence and claimed infringements for reference.
