Are members endorsed by Squarespace?

Circle members are entitled to exclusive benefits, but aren't endorsed or accredited by Squarespace. While it's fine to mention Circle membership in marketing and client communications, you shouldn't misrepresent yourself as being affiliated with or endorsed by Squarespace. As a member, you do get access to a Circle badge that you can add to your sites to let clients know you're a member.
