Terms of Service

The rules for using our barcode tools — what the Service does, what it deliberately does not do, and who is responsible for what.

The short version

At a glance

A plain-language summary for convenience only. The full terms below are what actually apply.

Free to use

The barcode tools are free and need no account. You are responsible for the values you choose to encode.

Your barcodes are yours

We claim no ownership of the data you enter or the barcode files you generate from it.

Always scan-test before production

We cannot guarantee that any generated barcode will scan on your printer, stock or scanner. Test before printing at volume.

We do not issue official numbers

The Service renders barcode images. It does not issue UPC, EAN, GTIN or GS1 identifiers.

1. Acceptance of these terms

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) are an agreement between you and Bulk Barcode Generator (“we”, “us”) governing your use of bulkbarcodegenerator.dev and the barcode tools available on it (the “Service”).

By accessing or using the Service, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service. Your use of the Service is also subject to our Privacy Policy.

2. What the Service is

The Service provides browser-based tools that generate barcode images from values that you supply — by typing them, pasting them, or uploading a CSV or Excel file.

  • ✓Generating barcode images in supported symbologies, including Code 128, Code 39, EAN-13, UPC-A, EAN-8 and ITF-14
  • ✓Calculating and validating check digits for supported retail symbologies
  • ✓Validating rows and reporting errors before export
  • ✓Exporting barcode files as SVG, PNG, ZIP or PDF label sheets

Barcode generation runs in your browser. See our Privacy Policy for detail on how your data is handled.

3. What the Service is not

This section is important, and it is the part most likely to be misunderstood.

We do not issue product identifiers

The Service creates barcode images from values you provide. It does not issue, register, license, verify or sell official UPC, EAN, GTIN, GS1, ISBN, FNSKU or music identifiers. To obtain official retail product identifiers, contact GS1 or your local GS1 member organization.

In particular, the Service is not:

  • ✗An issuer or reseller of official UPC, EAN, GTIN or GS1 numbers
  • ✗An ISBN issuing agency, or an issuer of music identifiers such as ISRC
  • ✗An Amazon-approved tool, or a generator of Amazon FNSKU, FBA or shipment labels
  • ✗A GS1-128 / FNC1 Application Identifier encoder
  • ✗A guarantee that any marketplace, retailer or distributor will accept your codes

You are solely responsible for ensuring that the values you encode are valid, that you are entitled to use them, and that they meet the requirements of any retailer, marketplace or standards body you deal with.

4. Eligibility

You must be at least 18+ years old, or the age of digital consent in your jurisdiction if higher, to use the Service. If you use the Service on behalf of an organisation, you confirm that you are authorised to bind that organisation to these Terms.

5. Acceptable use

You may use the Service for lawful personal or commercial purposes. You agree not to:

  • ✗Use the Service to create barcodes for counterfeit, fraudulent or illegal goods
  • ✗Encode values you are not entitled to use, including identifiers issued to another party
  • ✗Attempt to disrupt, overload, probe or reverse engineer the Service or its infrastructure
  • ✗Use automated systems to access the Service in a way that degrades it for other users
  • ✗Resell or redistribute the Service itself as if it were your own product
  • ✗Remove, obscure or misrepresent any notice or disclaimer shown by the Service

We may restrict or suspend access if we reasonably believe these Terms are being breached.

6. Your data and your barcodes

You keep your data. We claim no ownership of the values you enter, the files you upload, or the barcode images you generate.

Barcode files you generate are yours to use for any lawful purpose, including commercial use, without attribution to us and without any additional licence fee.

Responsibility follows ownership

Because the values are yours, the responsibility for them is also yours — their accuracy, their legitimacy, and their suitability for the use you put them to.

7. Our intellectual property

The Service itself — including its design, layout, text, code and branding — is owned by us or our licensors and is protected by intellectual property laws. These Terms do not grant you any right to use our name, logo or branding except as necessary to use the Service normally.

Barcode symbologies themselves are open technical standards and are not claimed as our property.

8. Third-party brands and trademarks

Avery, Zebra, Rollo, Munbyn, Google Sheets, Excel, Amazon and other brand names are trademarks of their respective owners. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by any of them.

Where the Service refers to a brand — for example describing a layout as an “Avery-compatible” sheet size or a “Zebra/Rollo-compatible” thermal size — that reference is descriptive only, to help you choose a compatible layout. It does not imply any partnership, certification or approval.

9. Disclaimer of warranties

The service is provided “as is”

To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Service is provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis, without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, error free, or free of harmful components, or that any defect will be corrected.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties, so parts of the above may not apply to you. Nothing in these Terms limits rights you have as a consumer that cannot lawfully be limited. 

10. No guarantee of scannability

This deserves its own section, because barcode output depends on factors outside our control.

No scan guarantee

We do not guarantee that any barcode generated by the Service will scan successfully on any particular scanner, printer, label stock, or point-of-sale system, or that it will be accepted by any retailer, marketplace, carrier or standards body. Print quality, scaling, contrast, quiet zones, label material, printer calibration and scanner configuration all affect readability and are your responsibility.

Always test before a production run

Print a sample, scan-test it with the equipment you will actually use, and confirm your printer is set to 100% scale or Actual Size — not “Fit to Page” — before committing to a full batch or a print run of label stock.

11. Limitation of liability

Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, we will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, revenue, data, goodwill, or business opportunity, arising out of or related to your use of the Service — including any cost of reprinting labels, wasted label stock, rejected shipments, delisted products, or production downtime.

12. Indemnity

You agree to indemnify and hold us harmless from any claim, demand, loss or expense (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your misuse of the Service, your breach of these Terms, or your use of barcode values or identifiers you were not entitled to use.

13. Availability and changes to the Service

We may change, suspend or discontinue any part of the Service at any time, including adding or removing supported barcode types or export formats. We may impose limits on usage, such as maximum file size or row count, to keep the Service available for everyone.

We are not liable to you for any modification, suspension or discontinuation of the Service, although we will try to give reasonable notice of significant changes where practical.

14. Third-party links

The Service may link to third-party websites or resources. We do not control them, do not endorse them, and are not responsible for their content, products or practices. Your dealings with any third party are solely between you and that third party.

15. Termination

You may stop using the Service at any time. We may suspend or terminate your access to the Service immediately if we reasonably believe you have breached these Terms or that your use poses a risk to the Service or other users.

Sections that by their nature should survive termination — including ownership, disclaimers, limitation of liability and indemnity — will continue to apply.

16. Changes to these terms

We may update these Terms as the Service changes or as the law requires. When we do, we will revise the “Last updated” date at the top of this page. If the changes are significant, we will give more prominent notice. 

Continuing to use the Service after updated Terms take effect means you accept them.
