The Service is intended to enable you, as a user of the Service, to query GTINs for the purpose of receiving certain product related information such as data attributes (“Query Results”) that are stored in the GS1 Registry Platform. You are permitted to enter a maximum of 30 single GTIN queries in a twenty-four (24) hour period. This limited access and use is offered by GS1 free of charge.

All product related information is provided by brand owners and other third parties, and not by GS1. GS1 is not responsible for the accuracy or completeness of such information and does not endorse any of the products or related information.

In furtherance of GS1's quality assurance efforts, the Service may enable you to submit feedback concerning the quality of the Query Results. Such feedback is gathered by GS1 via a series of pre-defined questions and pull-down menu response options.

All Query Results are for your internal use only and you may not sell, lease, license, publish, publicize, or otherwise distribute the Query Results. You further agree not to (i) use the Service for any purposes other than as permitted under the ToU; (ii) use the Service to store or transmit infringing, illegal, inappropriate, or otherwise unlawful material or violate any individual’s privacy rights; (iii) interfere with or disrupt the integrity or performance of the Service or third-party data contained therein; or (iv) introduce any viruses into the Service.

GS1 may prohibit you from using the Service and take measures to prevent your access to the Service if GS1 determines that you have abused your use of the Service, breached the ToU, or taken any action that is harmful, or likely to be harmful, to GS1 or other third parties.
