Terms, Conditions & Policies.
Last updated: October 31, 2026
Please read these terms before you buy. They explain what you get when you order UPC codes from GetUPCCode.com, how you may use them, and what happens if something goes wrong. By placing an order, you agree to them. How we handle your personal information is covered in our Privacy Policy.
The short version
- You get the right to use the specific UPC numbers we assign to you, not the GS1 Company Prefix inside them.
- You can’t resell, rent or transfer your codes.
- Our codes aren’t accepted by every retailer, so check each retailer’s rules before you buy.
- Orders can’t be cancelled, returned or refunded once placed.
- If there’s a problem with a code itself, we issue a replacement.
What you’re buying
When you buy from us, you get the right to use the specific UPC numbers we assign to you. You aren’t buying the right to use the GS1 Company Prefix those numbers are built on, and you don’t get any rights in that prefix. GS1’s records won’t show your company as the owner of it.
Your codes are a one-time purchase. They don’t expire, and we don’t charge renewal fees. We keep the record of your codes properly on our side, so spare codes stay ready for future products.
How you may use your codes
By purchasing UPC codes from us, you agree that:
- You won’t sell, rent, lease, transfer or sub-lease the codes we assign to you.
- You’ll use a UPC containing our prefix only in the exact numbers you bought from us. You won’t create new numbers from the same prefix.
- You’ll use each code for one product. A different size, color or pack count needs its own code.
In return, we promise never to sell, rent, lease, sub-divide or sub-lease a code that has been assigned to you. GetUPCCode.com manages code assignments to prevent duplicate use.
Retailers and marketplaces
The UPC numbers you buy from GetUPCCode.com may not be acceptable to all retailers. Some big-box stores, and some brands and categories on Amazon, need codes licensed from GS1 in your own company name.
It’s your responsibility to check the requirements, rules and restrictions of every retailer and marketplace you’ll do business with, and to do that before you order. If you aren’t sure our codes suit your plans, email us first. If GS1 is the better choice for you, we’ll tell you.
Orders, prices and payment
All prices are in US dollars. You pay once at checkout through the payment options shown there, and you don’t need an account to order. We assign your codes after your payment is confirmed. Please check the quantity and your email address before you pay, because we can’t change or cancel an order later.
Delivery
We deliver by email to the address you enter at checkout. Your codes usually arrive within 15 minutes of payment, and within 6 hours at most. Nothing is shipped to you. If your codes haven’t arrived after 6 hours, check your spam folder, then email us with your order number.
Cancellation, return and refund policy
We have a strict no-cancellation policy. Once an order has been placed, it cannot be cancelled.
The same applies to returns and refunds. Once an order has been placed, you can’t return your UPC codes for a refund.
The reason is simple. When your order is placed, we assign those specific numbers to you or your company and take them out of our stock. We can’t take them back and sell them to someone else.
If you bought more codes than you need, you keep them all. They don’t expire, so you can use them on future products.
Replacement codes
If a code we sold you doesn’t work because of a problem with the code itself, we’ll issue a replacement. For example, the code may be invalid or already in use on another seller’s product.
To ask for a replacement, email us with your order number, the code, what went wrong and the exact error message if you have one.
A replacement from us can’t fix a rule that applies to you or your brand. If a retailer requires codes licensed in your own name, or Amazon’s brand check against GS1 data fails, a new code from us will run into the same check.
Duplicate UPC code policy
GetUPCCode.com will never sell, rent, lease or sub-lease a UPC code that we’ve sold to you. Our system assigns each code to one order and keeps a record of it, so a number isn’t sold twice.
We keep records of your UPC numbers for this reason. Access to those records is limited to the people who need it to run the store.
If a marketplace says one of your codes already belongs to another product, first make sure it hasn’t been used on another of your own listings and that it was copied correctly. If it still looks wrong, send us the details and we’ll follow the replacement steps above.
Your responsibility for claims
You agree to indemnify, defend and hold harmless GetUPCCode.com and its proprietors, employees, contractors, personnel and officers from all legal claims arising from your purchase or use of our UPC numbers, or from the issue of a duplicate UPC number. These include, but aren’t limited to, product liability claims, criminal prosecution and retailer punitive fines.
We’ll email you about your order, including your codes and invoice. By accepting these terms, you also allow us to send offers, discounts, updates and promotions from GetUPCCode to your email address. We won’t use it to send marketing from anyone else, and we don’t sell it.
You can opt out of marketing emails at any time. Click “Unsubscribe” at the bottom of any of those emails, or write to us and we’ll remove you from the list.
