Terms of Service

Last updated: September 9, 2026 · BarcodeStack (barcodestack.com)

1. Agreement to these Terms

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of BarcodeStack (“we”, “us”), the website at barcodestack.com, and the label design, barcode generation, and printing tools it provides (together, the “Service”). By using the Service you agree to these Terms and the Disclaimer, subject to applicable law. The Privacy Policy describes data processing; accepting these Terms is not consent to optional data processing. If you do not agree, do not use the Service. If you use the Service on behalf of a business, you represent that you have authority to bind that business.

2. The Service

BarcodeStack is a browser-based editor for designing and printing labels — including thermal shipping labels, inventory tags, and laser/inkjet sheet labels — with support for common barcode symbologies. The Service is currently in beta: features may change, break, or be removed at any time, and availability is not guaranteed.

3. Free service and usage limits

  • Local label design and export are free and do not require an account. Advertising, paid checkout and subscriptions are disabled.
  • Cloud saving and API access require an account and are subject to the limits on our free service page, including storage, request and output limits. You are responsible for keeping independent copies of important designs.
  • Limits may change to protect availability and control abuse. We will explain material changes. Reaching a limit does not authorize automatic deletion of your existing cloud designs; save a local copy and contact support if you cannot recover your work.

4. Your content

You keep all rights to the label designs, data, and files you create or upload (“Content”). You grant us a limited, non-exclusive license to host, process, and display your Content solely as needed to operate the Service (for example, storing a saved template or rendering a preview). Ordinary editing and local export run in your browser. Optional cloud saves and API calls transmit content; limited automatic diagnostics also reach the service as described in the Privacy Policy. You are responsible for your Content and for having the rights to everything it contains.

Built-in template artwork

You may edit and print BarcodeStack's original built-in template artwork for personal or commercial use, and share links to the library. This permission does not grant rights in third-party brands, product identifiers or other material you add. Fonts keep their own licenses, listed in our third-party notices. The designs are not exclusive to you. Public user submissions are not currently available; saving a design to your account does not publish it to the library.

Report copyright, trademark, privacy or harmful-content concerns through our content-report process.

5. Acceptable use

You agree not to use the Service to create, print, or distribute:

  • fraudulent, counterfeit, or deceptive shipping labels, postage, or postage indicia, or any label designed to imitate a carrier-issued label for deceptive purposes;
  • counterfeit product identifiers — including UPC/EAN/GTIN numbers you are not licensed or authorized to use — or labels intended to misrepresent the origin, identity, or authenticity of goods;
  • labels that infringe any third party’s trademark, copyright, or other rights;
  • QR codes or links that point to malware, phishing, or otherwise harmful content;
  • content that is unlawful in your jurisdiction or the jurisdiction of sale.

You also agree not to probe, disrupt, overload, scrape at scale, reverse engineer, or circumvent access controls or advertising on the Service.

6. Barcodes, numbering & compliance

  • BarcodeStack renders barcode graphics from data you supply. Generating a barcode image does not create, register, or license the underlying number.
  • For retail identifiers, obtain an authorized GS1 prefix or identifier through GS1 and follow its allocation rules, or follow the identifier process required by your retailer or marketplace. Internal inventory codes are a different use case.
  • You are solely responsible for the accuracy of encoded data, for your right to use the numbers you encode, and for compliance with retailer, marketplace, carrier, and regulatory labeling requirements that apply to your products.
  • Verify encoded values and test printed samples before a production run. A successful scan does not establish standards compliance, identifier ownership or retailer acceptance. Use a suitable barcode verifier when your application requires formal quality verification.

7. Printing & output

Printed results depend on your printer, media, drivers, and settings — none of which we control. We do not guarantee that any label will print at exact dimensions, scan reliably, or be accepted by any carrier, retailer, or scanner. Test before you rely on it.

8. Accounts

When you create an account, you must provide accurate information, keep your credentials secure, and are responsible for activity under your account. We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms.

9. Third-party services

The Service is built on third-party infrastructure and services (including Cloudflare for hosting and storage and Auth0 for authentication). Their availability is outside our control. The Privacy Policy describes relevant data flows. A third party’s separate terms may apply when you choose its own service or software.

10. Our intellectual property

The Service — including its software, design, and branding — is owned by us or our licensors and is protected by law. These Terms do not grant you any right to use our branding, and you may not copy, resell, or offer the Service to third parties as your own.

11. Disclaimer of warranties

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, ACCURACY, AND UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE OPERATION. See our Disclaimer for barcode- and printing-specific details.

12. 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 ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, OR GOODWILL — INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, REJECTED OR MISROUTED SHIPMENTS, CARRIER ADJUSTMENTS OR SURCHARGES, MARKETPLACE SUSPENSIONS, RETAILER CHARGEBACKS OR FINES, WASTED LABEL STOCK, OR UNSCANNABLE BARCODES — ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE. OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS RELATING TO THE SERVICE IS LIMITED TO THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNTS YOU PAID US IN THE 12 MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM AND (B) US $10. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations, so parts of this section may not apply to you.

13. Indemnification

To the extent permitted by applicable law, you will defend and hold us harmless from third-party claims and reasonable expenses arising from content you provide in violation of another party’s rights or your unlawful use of the Service. This does not exclude responsibility or rights that applicable law does not permit us to exclude.

14. Changes

We may update the Service or these Terms. We will identify material changes and provide notice and obtain any agreement required by applicable law. Changes do not override rights that applicable law makes non-waivable.

15. Termination

You may stop using the Service at any time. We may suspend or terminate access to the Service (or any account) at any time for any reason, including violation of these Terms. Sections that by their nature should survive — including 6, 7, and 10–13 — survive termination.

16. Applicable law and your rights

These Terms do not restrict any mandatory consumer, privacy or other rights that apply to you. Any provision that cannot lawfully be enforced applies only to the extent permitted by applicable law. Contact us first if you have a concern so we can try to resolve it.
