The statement is not a good definition.

A counterexample is a rectangle.

A rectangle has two pairs of parallel side and four right angles, but it is not a square.

no, because that could easily be defining a rectangle as well as a square.

A square is a figure with two pairs of parallel sides of the same length, and four right angles.
