Using the tools
You may use BarcodePilot free of charge, for personal and commercial purposes. The barcode images you create are yours to use without attribution. Please don't try to disrupt the site, scrape it in bulk, or copy its content and code to run a competing service.
Your responsibilities
- Numbers: you're responsible for having the right to use the numbers you encode. Retail barcodes (UPC, EAN, ISBN, ITF-14, GS1-128, GS1 DataBar, GS1 DataMatrix and GS1 Digital Link QR) must use numbers licensed to you by GS1 or the relevant agency. USPS Intelligent Mail barcodes must use a Mailer ID assigned to you by USPS.
- Testing: always print and scan a proof at the final size, on the final material and printer, before printing in quantity or approving packaging.
- Requirements: check the current requirements of any retailer, marketplace or regulator you're making barcodes for. Our guides are general information, not professional advice.
- Lawful use: don't use the tools to make barcodes for fraud, counterfeit goods, forged documents or anything illegal.
No warranty
The site and tools are provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy or uninterrupted availability. We work hard to make every barcode correct, but we can't guarantee that a barcode will scan in every situation.
Scanner, checker and lookups
The barcode checker is a practical test, not an ISO/IEC barcode verification or grade; a pass doesn't guarantee acceptance by a retailer or carrier. Product and book details shown by the scanner and lookups come from third-party open databases (Open Food Facts and its sister projects, under the Open Database License, and Open Library) and may be incomplete or wrong. Stock counts are stored only in your browser; keep your own copy by downloading the CSV.
Limit of liability
To the fullest extent the law allows, Stonmark LLC isn't liable for any indirect, incidental, special or consequential loss, or for loss of profits, stock, packaging or reprinting costs, arising from your use of the site. Our total liability for any claim is limited to US$50. Some jurisdictions don't allow these limits, so they may not apply to you in full.
Third-party links and ads
The site links to other websites and shows ads served by Google. We don't control them and aren't responsible for their content or practices.
Trademarks
GS1, UPC, EAN, Amazon, FBA, Shopify, Avery and other names are trademarks of their owners and are used only to describe compatibility. We aren't affiliated with or endorsed by them.
Changes and law
We may update these terms; the date at the top shows the latest version. These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Wyoming, USA. Questions: hello@barcodepilot.com.
