These Terms and Conditions apply to services provided by Barcode Lookup through its website, located at www.barcodelookup.com, including subdomains, API and mobile applications (the “Services”).
By clicking “I agree” or by using the Services, you are agreeing, or if you are agreeing on behalf of an entity, the entity is agreeing, to be bound by the Terms and Conditions. If you later disagree with the Terms and Conditions, you agree to stop using the Services and contact Barcode Lookup.
Barcode Lookup’s paid Services include bulk product lookups (“Bulk Lookup Services”) and API-based product lookups (“API Services”), which permit you to lookup Product Data (as defined below).
For Bulk Lookup Services, you place an order by providing Barcode Lookup with a TXT, CSV or Microsoft Excel® file emailed to [email protected], containing the GTIN, UPC, EAN or ISBN codes, manufacturer part numbers (MPNs) with their associated brand and product names, or search terms that you desire to process through the Services. Bulk Lookup Services are processed once per customer order and typically delivered within 24 to 48 hours, which is an estimate only and not a guaranteed delivery timeframe.
API Services are provided pursuant to a recurring subscription that permits you to make a number of API calls, which varies depending on the particular subscription you have chosen and may not exceed 100 API calls per minute, without Barcode Lookup's express written consent. Barcode Lookup will provide you with an API key and documentation for using API Services. Barcode Lookup is not responsible for the integration of the API Services with any third party application. You are solely responsible for all development costs, coding, debugging and integration with the API and your application, including in connection with any updates which Barcode Lookup may make to the API Services.
Barcode Lookup reserves the right to, in its sole discretion, refuse to process any Bulk Lookup order or refuse to accept an API subscription.
In response to a successful Bulk Lookup order or API call, Barcode Lookup may return available product information such as a GTIN number, barcode type (UPC, EAN or ISBN), product title and category (“Product Data”). Product Data shall be provided to you, in the case of Bulk Lookup Services, in a CSV file and, in the case of API Services, in JSON format. Barcode Lookup does not make any representation or guarantee that the Services will produce Product Data in response to lookup requests you submit.
You agree to pay Barcode Lookup such fees for the Services as presented to you at the time of purchase. Barcode Lookup accepts payment by Visa, Mastercard, Amex, Discover, PayPal, check or direct deposit, which is required prior to commencement of the Services and is non-refundable. Unless otherwise specified, all payments shall be made in US Dollars. All fees are exclusive of applicable taxes, which you agree to pay based on applicable laws. You acknowledge and agree that payment is processed through a third party service provider who may subject you to additional terms and to whom your payment information is disclosed.
For Bulk Lookup Services, Barcode Lookup charges a minimum fee of $99.00 USD for each order, regardless of whether the fee would otherwise be less than such amount. If you provide Barcode Lookup with separate files containing data to be processed pursuant to a Bulk Lookup Services order, each file is treated as a separate order. Each request to lookup data previously provided to you by Barcode Lookup (data refresh requests) constitutes a new order. You agree to pay Barcode Lookup a non-refundable deposit of $99.00 USD when your order is placed, which is credited towards your order balance. Except for the non-refundable minimum fee, you are only charged for successful lookup entries where partial or full Product Data is returned.
You will be automatically charged for your subscription to the API Services on a monthly, recurring basis. You may pause, upgrade or downgrade your subscription to your API Services by sending an email to [email protected], or by making the change within your API Account. Pause, upgrade or downgrade requests sent by email, must be emailed to Barcode Lookup at least 3 business days prior to the date such API Services are renewed and are effective upon your receipt of an email from Barcode Lookup confirming the change. Fees are subject to change on notice.
If we are unable to charge your credit card or your payment is declined or reversed for any reason, Barcode Lookup will attempt to contact you to make an alternate payment arrangement. If, following 1 week after the invoice date, payment has not been made, Barcode Lookup may, in its sole discretion, terminate or suspend your subscription.
Some Services require you to sign up for an account in order to use the Services and select a user name and password and, in the case of API Services, you will be provided a unique API key (“Login Information”). You are solely responsible for keeping Login Information confidential and any use of your Login Information, whether or not you authorized such use. If you become aware of, or reasonably suspect, unauthorized use of your account you must immediately change the password that is part of your Login Information and notify Barcode Lookup by emailing [email protected].
You may not create more than one free API test account (unless Barcode Lookup provides you with its express written consent) or access a free account using any bot, spider, or other automated script, program, software, process or technology.
Upon signing up for an API account or placing a Bulk Lookup order, Barcode Lookup grants you a non-exclusive, non-sublicensable, non-assignable, revocable, limited subscription to use the Services to: (a) submit and receive Product Data resulting from Bulk Lookup requests; (b) make API calls and receive Product Data in response to such calls (the “Subscription”); and (c) use any Barcode Lookup application to search for and retrieve Product Data. No title or ownership interest in the Services or Subscription is transferred or assigned to you and you acknowledge that the Terms and Conditions is not a sale of any right to the Services or Subscription.
Barcode Lookup may suspend your Subscription and any associated account at any time without notice or compensation to you for any reason including, but not limited to, violation of the Terms and Conditions. Whether a suspension is lifted is at Barcode Lookup’s sole discretion.
The Subscription terminates upon the earliest of: (a) Barcode Lookup’s termination of the Terms and Conditions or Services and that may occur without notice or reason; (b) your failure to pay any amount owed to Barcode Lookup if such failure has not been remedied within 1 week; (c) your termination of the Subscription by notifying Barcode Lookup at [email protected]; or (d) your non-compliance with the Terms and Conditions. Upon termination you are not entitled to a refund of any kind, you are responsible for continuing to pay for your Subscription until the end of the current term and you shall delete all Product Data previously provided to you (including any cached and backed up Product Data).
You agree to not: (a) use any bot, spider, or other automated script, program, software, process, or technology to scrape, data mine, download, copy, extract or otherwise collect content from the Services, except in connection with your use of the API Services; (b) circumvent or reproduce the look and feel of the Services; (c) copy, damage, decompile, disassemble, disrupt, impair, modify or reverse engineer the Services; (d) use the Services to violate any law or regulation in any jurisdiction; or (e) gain, or attempt to gain, unauthorized access to the Services, including through the use of another user’s account or through any method not provided by or approved by Barcode Lookup.
If Barcode Lookup accepts you as an affiliate, as determined in its sole discretion, (“Affiliate”), Barcode Lookup grants you the non-exclusive right to refer prospective clients of the Services to Barcode Lookup (each, a “Referral”). Upon providing a Referral to Barcode Lookup, Affiliate shall have no further involvement with such Referral in relation to the Services.
Barcode Lookup shall pay Affiliate a 10% commission on all fees received by Barcode Lookup from a Referral minus taxes collected, returns, chargebacks and disputed amounts (the “Commission”) during the 365-day period following the date the Referral first subscribed for the Services (the “Commission Term”). The Commission is calculated monthly and remitted within 30 days of the end of each month in which the Commission due to Affiliate is equal to or greater than $100.00 USD (the “Remittance Threshold”). If the Remittance Threshold is not met for a particular month, Barcode Lookup shall withhold the Commission until the month in which the Remittance Threshold is met. No Commission is due on fees received by Barcode Lookup outside of the Commission Term. The Commission rate is set by Barcode Lookup and subject to change, on one or more occasions, in Barcode Lookup’s sole discretion upon 30 days notice to Affiliate.
Barcode Lookup shall provide Affiliate with a unique identification number and hyperlink to the Services (the “Affiliate ID”). Referrals are prompted to provide the Affiliate ID when subscribing for the Services, which is used to associate Referrals with Affiliate for purposes of calculating Commission. Affiliate is solely responsible for providing the Affiliate ID to each Referral and implementing the Affiliate ID as instructed by Barcode Lookup. Barcode Lookup shall not pay the Commission if a Referral fails to provide the Affiliate ID or Barcode Lookup is unable to otherwise associate the Referral with Affiliate, as determined in Barcode Lookup’s sole discretion. Barcode Lookup has sole discretion to accept or reject any Referral and is under no obligation to engage in business with any Referral.
Upon termination of the Terms and Conditions the Commission Term shall immediately expire and Affiliate shall cease to receive any Commission from Barcode Lookup and any Commission not previously remitted is automatically forfeited.
Affiliate is solely responsible for charging, collecting and remitting taxes on the Commission and shall indemnify, defend and hold Barcode Lookup harmless from any liability for, or assessment of, any claims or penalties with respect to such taxes, including any liability for, or assessment of, withholding taxes imposed on Barcode Lookup by the relevant taxing authorities with respect to any Commission paid to Affiliate. Additionally, Barcode Lookup may take such steps as it considers necessary or appropriate for the withholding of any taxes, which it is required to withhold in connection with the Commission.
Affiliate’s relationship with Barcode Lookup shall be that of an independent contractor and not that of an employee. The Affiliate Program shall not be construed to create any partnership, joint venture, employer-employee or agency relationship between Barcode Lookup and Affiliate. Affiliate is solely responsible for all fees, charges, expenses and liabilities it incurs while acting in such capacity. Affiliate acknowledges and agrees that it has no authority to enter into contracts that bind Barcode Lookup or create obligations on behalf of Barcode Lookup.
Affiliate agrees, during the term of the Terms and Conditions and for a period of 12 months immediately following termination, to not, directly or indirectly, on its own or on behalf of a third party, solicit any Referral for purposes similar to the Services.
Barcode Lookup reserves all right, title and interest in the Services and Product Data including, but not limited to, all copyrights, patents, trademarks, trade secrets, industrial designs, utility models and any other rights recognized pursuant to the laws of any country or jurisdiction, whether or not protected by law. Without limiting the foregoing, Barcode Lookup hereby retains all rights not expressly granted in the Terms and Conditions.
Certain elements of Product Data, such as product images and descriptions, are the property of third parties and not Barcode Lookup (“Third Party Content”). The Terms and Conditions do not grant you any rights to Third Party Content and you represent and warrant that your use of Product Data will not infringe the rights of any Third Party Content owner. If you require rights to Third Party Content please contact the Third Party Content owner.
