    Salsify Managed Services Entitlement Definitions

    Digital Shelf Tier

    A Digital Shelf Tier is a grouping of digital shelves or channel endpoints, such as retailers or marketplaces.

    Digital shelves are assigned to tiers based on the syndication complexity of new item setup or product content refresh for the digital shelf.  If there is a significant increase in any digital shelf’s syndication complexity, Salsify may modify its tier by providing 30 days’ prior notice to Customers.

    Global Location Number (GLN)

    A Global Location Number (GLN) is a unique number that is assigned to locations to enable them to be identified uniquely worldwide. These GLNs can be used to identify any legal, physical and functional locations.

    The total number of unique GLNs managed by Salsify during a year of a Customer’s subscription will not exceed the number of GLNs licensed.

    Managed Service Digital Shelves

    A Managed Service Digital Shelf is a channel endpoint such as a retailer or marketplace.

    The total number of unique Managed Service Digital Shelves managed by Salsify during a year of a Customer’s subscription will not exceed the number of Managed Service Digital Shelves licensed.

    Managed Service Locales

    A Managed Service Locale is a distinct language (e.g. English, Spanish, French, etc.) and country (e.g. United States, France, Germany) combination for which multilingual content can be stored by utilizing localized properties. The country component of a Locale is optional.  

    The total number of unique Managed Service Locales managed by Salsify during a year of a Customer’s subscription will not exceed the number of Managed Service Locales licensed.

    Managed Service Record

    A uniquely-identifiable record stored in the Salsify Platform, including product (i.e SKU, GTIN, UPC) and non-product (i.e brand, swatch, affiliate, brand ambassador) records. Records exclude Digital Assets.

    In the case of records in a hierarchy, the records at each level of the hierarchy are counted separately. Multiple records identifying the same underlying product or non-product entity in the same instance are counted separately.

    The total number of unique Managed Service Records managed by Salsify during a year of a Customer’s subscription will not exceed the number of Managed Service Records licensed. For subscription periods of less than one year ("partial year"), the total number of unique Managed Service Records managed by Salsify over the partial year cannot exceed the prorated amount of Managed Service Records licensed by the Customer.

    Retailer Portal

    A secure, proprietary, web-based interface owned and operated by a specific retailer, which enables its approved vendors, manufacturers, or third-party sellers ("Vendors") to manage the operational and commercial aspects of their business relationship with the retailer. The primary purpose of a Retailer Portal is the submission, management, and exchange of data related to product listings, inventory, sales, and logistics. 

    User

    User means each of Customer’s employees, agents, and independent contractors who are authorized with access to the Salsify Platform.

    Each User’s license is intended solely for such User and cannot be shared or used by any other individual, provided that it may be reassigned to a new User replacing the previous User if the previous User terminates its employment with Customer, changes job status or function, or otherwise no longer requires use of the Salsify Platform. For avoidance of doubt, each User license includes access to all of the Customer’s licensed instances.  

    The total number of Users managed by Salsify at any given time will not exceed the number of Users licensed.

    2 Managed Services support for Classic Catalogs is not to extend beyond the deprecation of the product (December 31, 2026)
