DDEX Standards & Supporting Documentation
Implementation Licence
Before you can undertake an implementation of one or more of the DDEX standards you require a DDEX standards' Implementation Licence. This document sets out the terms and conditions under which the DDEX standards may be used in an implementation within your systems. The full text of the licence is available here.
There is a licence fee of US$ 200 per twelve calendar months. Once you have read and accepted the terms of the Implementation Licence and completed the request data entry (see below) an invoice for the licence fee will be sent to you by e-mail. The Implementation Licence will only come into affect on the day the licence fee is received in DDEX's bank account.
Once you have accepted the terms of the Implementation Licence you will be required to provide data about your organisation. This data will be stored in the DDEX Party ID Metadata Repository and you will, once you have paid the licence fee, be allocated a unique DDEX Party Identifier. This will enable your business partners to uniquely identify your organisation as a sender or receiver of messages exchanged using the DDEX Standards. Your DDEX Party ID metadata will be available on a read only basis to all other DDEX licensees. More information relating to this can be found in the DDEX Party Identifier Standard that can be found here.
