SquareTrade Inc. is an American-based extended warranty service provider for consumer electronics and appliances[2] headquartered in Brisbane, California.
Dispute resolution services
Founded by Ahmed Khaishgi in 1999, SquareTrade launched as the first online service for resolving e-commerce disputes. SquareTrade worked with online marketplaces, such as eBay, utilizing an online negotiation tool to automate the dispute resolution process between sellers and buyers. Between 1999 and 2001, SquareTrade raised $15 million in funding from JP Morgan Partners, Weston Presidio Capital, and Draper Richards. That same year, the company launched a merchant-verification service, the SquareTrade Seal.[3][4] Both original services have since been discontinued.[5]
