Terms of service

The agreement between you and Fair Square Funding when you visit our website, submit an application, or use our services.

Effective November 6, 2026

1. Acceptance of terms

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the website at fairsquarefunding.com, the online application at apply.fairsquarefunding.com, and any related online forms, calculators, SMS programs, and services (collectively, the "Services") provided by Fair Square Funding ("Fair Square Funding," "we," "our," or "us").

By accessing the Services, submitting an application, providing your phone number, or otherwise interacting with us, you agree to be bound by these Terms and by our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Services.

2. About Fair Square Funding

Fair Square Funding is a New York-based small business funding company. We connect small and mid-sized businesses with working capital, term financing, lines of credit, and related products through a network of third-party funders, lenders, and partners. Fair Square Funding is not a bank.

3. Eligibility

To use the Services and submit an application, you must:

  • Be at least 18 years of age and legally able to enter into a binding contract;
  • Be a resident of, or legally operating a business in, the United States;
  • Be the owner, principal, or an authorized signer of the business you are applying on behalf of; and
  • Provide accurate, current, and complete information.

The Services are intended for business funding purposes only and are not consumer credit products.

4. Description of services

Through the Services we may, among other things:

  • Collect application information about you and your business;
  • Pull or request business and personal credit reports, bank statements, and related documentation;
  • Match your application with one or more funders, lenders, or capital providers;
  • Present offers, indicative terms, calculators, and closing documents;
  • Communicate with you by phone, email, and SMS regarding your application and account.

Specific products, terms, pricing, and availability may change at any time and are subject to underwriting, verification, and final approval by the applicable funder or lender.

5. Applications and information you provide

You represent and warrant that all information you provide to us — including business information, financial information, identification documents, bank statements, and contact information for you and any guarantors — is true, accurate, current, and complete, and that you are authorized to share it with us.

You agree that we (and our funding partners) may verify any information you submit, including by contacting third parties such as banks, credit bureaus, public records, and references, and by using fraud-prevention and identity-verification services.

6. No offer or commitment to fund

Submission of an application does not create any obligation on the part of Fair Square Funding or any funder to extend funding. Indicative numbers, calculator outputs, pre-qualification messages, and prospective term sheets are not binding offers and may be withdrawn or modified at any time. A binding agreement only exists once you and the applicable funder execute final, written closing documents.

7. Authorizations and consents

By submitting an application or otherwise providing information through the Services, you authorize Fair Square Funding and its funding partners to:

  • Obtain business and personal credit reports and other consumer reports about you and any guarantors;
  • Verify any information you provide with banks, credit bureaus, references, public records, and other third parties;
  • Share your information with prospective funders, lenders, brokers, and service providers in order to evaluate, process, fund, and service your transaction;
  • Contact you about your application and account as further described in Sections 8 and 9 below.

8. SMS & text messaging terms

When you provide a mobile phone number to us — whether on our website, on an application, by replying to an outreach, or otherwise — and you opt in to text messages, you agree to receive SMS messages from Fair Square Funding related to your application, account, offers, document requests, status updates, and marketing.

SMS program disclosure

  • Program: Fair Square Funding SMS Program (account servicing, application updates, marketing).
  • Message Frequency: Varies based on your activity and our outreach. Frequency is not fixed.
  • Message & Data Rates: Standard message and data rates may apply from your wireless carrier.

Full details on how we collect, use, and protect SMS information are set out in our Privacy Policy — SMS & Text Messaging Program.

By submitting an application, providing your phone number, or otherwise asking us to contact you, you expressly consent under the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) and applicable state law for Fair Square Funding, our affiliates, agents, funding partners, and service providers to contact you at any phone number you have provided — including by automated dialing systems, prerecorded or artificial voice messages, and SMS / text messages — about your application, account, offers, and our services.

This consent is not a condition of any purchase or of the funding decision. You may revoke consent at any time by replying STOP to any text message, by asking the agent to remove you from outbound calls, or by emailing privacy@fairsquarefunding.com. Standard call and message rates may apply.

10. Acceptable use

  • Submit false, misleading, fraudulent, or stolen information;

You may view and use the Services for the purpose of evaluating and applying for funding through Fair Square Funding. Any other use, including copying, reproducing, scraping, framing, or creating derivative works, is prohibited without our prior written consent.

12. Third-party services and links

The Services may contain links to, or be integrated with, third-party websites, applications, and services (for example, application platforms, e-signature providers, payment processors, and funding partners). We do not control these third parties and are not responsible for their content, terms, or practices. Your use of any third-party service is governed by that third party's own terms and privacy policy.

13. Disclaimers

THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED ON AN "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" BASIS, WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION ANY WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICES WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, SECURE, ERROR-FREE, OR THAT ANY APPLICATION WILL RESULT IN AN OFFER OR FUNDING.

14. Limitation of liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL FAIR SQUARE FUNDING, ITS AFFILIATES, OWNERS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, OR LICENSORS BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, GOODWILL, OR BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICES, EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

OUR TOTAL CUMULATIVE LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICES WILL NOT EXCEED ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS (US$100). SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE LIMITATION OR EXCLUSION OF CERTAIN DAMAGES, SO PORTIONS OF THIS SECTION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

15. Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Fair Square Funding and its affiliates, owners, officers, employees, and agents from and against any and all claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or in any way connected with: (a) your use of the Services; (b) your violation of these Terms; (c) any information you submit; or (d) your violation of any rights of a third party.

16. Termination

We may suspend or terminate your access to the Services at any time, with or without notice, for any reason, including if we believe you have violated these Terms or applicable law. Provisions that by their nature should survive termination (including Sections 11 through 17, and 19) will survive.

17. Governing law and dispute resolution

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of New York, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Subject to any applicable arbitration agreement, you and Fair Square Funding agree that any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Services will be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in New York County, New York, and you consent to the personal jurisdiction of those courts.

Nothing in these Terms limits any non-waivable rights you have under applicable consumer-protection or telecommunications law, including the TCPA.

We may update these Terms from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "Effective Date" at the top of this page. Your continued use of the Services after an update constitutes your acceptance of the updated Terms. If a change is material, we may also notify you by email or SMS.
