Product Introduction

Last Updated: May, 2023

This Product Description describes the functionality and usage requirements to provide Client

with Product Introduction (“PI”) as of the effective date shown above. This Product Description
forms part of the Contract to provide Client with PI. Capitalized terms used but not defined
herein have the definitions assigned to them in the 1WorldSync General Terms and Conditions.

1. Services

1WorldSync offers Product Introduction as an addition to the 1WorldSync Item Management Platform
to provide participants with a methodology and a web interface to collaborate and incorporate
GDSN standards based processes and data to streamline the new item product listing process with
PI demand side recipients. 1WorldSync will provide technical assistance to help Client prepare
and synchronize its new product content. This service includes support for preparation, testing,
and assistance to ensure quick implementation of PI by Client.

2. GDSN Connector Access

As part of the use of the PI solution, Client is granted access to the Item Management Platform and the GDSN Connector. Use of the Item Management platform is limited to the delivery of item data and content to select retailers. Participating retailers may include:

  • Walmart
  • The Kroger Company
  • Albertsons Companies
  • Amazon
  • Meijer Inc.
  • Wegmans Food Markets
  • Wakefern Food Corp.
  • HEB

3. Data Formatting Requirements

Usage of PI requires adoption and correct usage of product identification and measurement
standards. Client is strongly advised to review the applicable documentation from GS1, GDSN Data
Excellence, Inc. and Client’s data recipients on the preparation of product content to be
published to them.

  • AS2 Users using the Applicability Statement 2 “AS2” standard for
    communications must adhere to the following rules:

    • Multiple, simultaneous (close in time) business transactions for a given company
      must be sent via batch messages and not in multiple, individual messages. The
      maximum number of documents allowed in a single XML message is 1000. Sending XML
      messages of a specific type (for example, Catalog Request) must not be any more
      frequent than once every 5 minutes unless the message contains at least 1000
      documents.
    • The “listener” endpoint must be running during processing of messages until all
      transactions are processed and reconciled. (The AS2 “listener” is the client-side
      software/routine that waits for the response message and prevents inadvertent Denial
      of Service attacks that may result in deactivation.)
    • Users must provide around the clock (24 x 7) technical phone contact
    • Users must use an AS2 solution that is certified by DGI (Drummond Group Inc.)
    • No more than 10 concurrent connections are allowed.
    • Must be able to use publicly available hostnames (not IP addresses).
    • When sending an asynchronous message and receive a HTTP 200 response but no MDN,
      wait at least an hour to retry sending the message again. The number of retries
      should be limited to 3.
    • The maximum file size or XML message size is 75MB.

4. Additional Services

The Product Introduction Service does not include any customization or configuration of PI, or
other 1WorldSync products or services unless they are separately contracted and paid for by
Client. Upon Client’s request, 1WorldSync will provide Client with a custom quote and Statement
of Work for such Professional Services.
