Common use of Use Requirements Clause in Contracts

Use Requirements. 3.1. Global GS1 standards have evolved towards permanent identification for all sectors (e.g. introduction of GTINs that cannot be reassigned to new products) and Subscriber must comply with such global standards relating to GS1 Key Identifier non-reuse (“Non-Reuse Standards”). Non-Reuse Standards are available at ▇▇▇▇▇://▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇/standards/gtin-non-reuse and are a response to industry demands resulting from fundamental changes in the life-span of products in the market in the digital world and requirements for traceability in a growing number of countries. These standards apply to all industries. 3.2. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, at its discretion and upon notice to Subscriber, GS1 Canada may cease to offer GS1 Company Prefixes in the Canadian market and/or assume management of individual GS1 Key Identifier assignment and, if Subscriber wishes to license GS1 Key Identifiers for Subscriber, Subscriber shall be required to license permanent GS1 Key Identifiers instead of a GS1 Company Prefix, in the context of a larger migration of GS1 Canada subscribers to GS1 Key Identifiers. As part of this change, Subscriber shall be obligated to provide GS1 Canada a minimum number of attributes pertaining to new and legacy GS1 Key Identifiers and will be responsible for keeping this information accurate and up to date. GS1 Canada will establish compliance programs to ensure subscribers’ adherence to these requirements. Subscriber’s use of GS1 Key Identifiers and the payment of applicable fees will be subject to the then current standards and GS1 Canada policies. GS1 Canada will provide reasonable guidance to Subscriber to facilitate this transition. 3.3. For clarity and without limiting Subscriber’s obligation to comply with Non-Reuse Standards, once a GTIN is assigned, whether by Subscriber or by GS1 Canada, that GTIN cannot be reassigned in any way.
