Licensed content

Information about using licensed content on Squarespace.

Last updated March 3, 2023

When you build a Squarespace site or create posts and videos through our apps and services, you may be using licensed content, and there are limits to how you can use it. This includes certain fonts and music that we’ve licensed from third-parties for your use on our platform.

This guide summarizes what content is licensed content on Squarespace, and the rules for its use. For the complete terms, visit Section 4 of our Product Specific Terms.

Note

This guide is available as a resource, but should not be construed or relied upon in any way as legal advice.

Fonts

These fonts in Squarespace are licensed from third-parties for use by customers:

You can only use licensed fonts as they are intended and permitted to be used by our apps and services. For example, if you use a licensed font on your website, you may not be able to use it in an Unfold story unless it’s made available as an option in the Unfold mobile app. You can’t download, modify, or reproduce licensed fonts and you may not be able to use licensed fonts outside of Squarespace, including on other website platforms.

Music

Licensed music is currently only available in Squarespace through the Unfold and Video Studio mobile apps. 

  • Unfold music is licensed from Epidemic Sound. To obtain more rights to use Unfold music or the videos you create in Unfold using such licensed music, contact Epidemic Sound.
  • Video Studio music is licensed from Jingle Punks. To obtain more rights to use Video Studio music or the videos you create in Video Studio using such licensed music, contact Jingle Punks.

You may not use videos you create using the Unfold or Video Studio mobile apps which contain licensed music in non-digital media, such as television or billboards. You can use the music to create videos in Unfold or Video Studio, but otherwise the music may not be:

  • Modified or downloaded
  • Reproduced
  • Re-sold
  • Made available for other people to use or download
  • Used in a manner which represents yourself as the music’s original creator
  • Used without video content
  • Used to create products like ecards, ringtones, and screensavers
  • Used in logos, trademarks, or other branding
  • Used in software applications or video games

Further, you may not use videos you create using Unfold which contain licensed music to promote or endorse a political party, candidate, or elected official.
