These terms and conditions govern purchases made at www.mercantic.com from GERBARNI, S.L., NIF B63262315, with registered office at Avinguda Rius i Taulet, 120, 08173 Sant Cugat del Vallès (Barcelona), email info@mercantic.com. By confirming an order, the buyer declares that they are of legal age and agree to these terms and conditions.
When a product is sold by a Mercantic merchant and not by the website owner, this will be indicated on the product page, and that merchant will be the seller for all purposes.
Purchase process
- Choose the product or ticket and add it to your cart.
- Enter your details and, if applicable, the shipping address.
- Review the order summary and pay.
- You will receive a confirmation email with the order and, if they are tickets, the tickets in digital format.
The contract is formalized in Spanish, Catalan, or English, depending on the language of the website selected. We archive the electronic document of the order, which you can access upon request.
Prices and payment
Prices are shown in euros and include VAT. Shipping costs, if any, are displayed before confirming your order. We accept Shopify Payments payment methods. Payment is processed through this secure gateway; we do not store your card details.
Tickets for concerts and events
- Tickets are valid for the date, time, and event indicated. Present the ticket on your mobile device or in printed form at the entrance.
- As these are leisure services on a specific date, there is no right of withdrawal (Article 103.l of Royal Legislative Decree 1/2007, TRLGDCU). No exchanges or refunds are permitted, except in the event of cancellation.
- If the event is cancelled, the ticket price will be refunded within 14 days using the same payment method. If it is postponed, the ticket will be valid for the new date, or you may request a refund within 14 days of the announcement.
- Reselling tickets at a price higher than the original price is prohibited and may result in cancellation.
- Each event may have its own conditions (minimum age, capacity, entry times), which are indicated on its event page.
Gift cards
- Valid for 24 months from the date of purchase for buying tickets and products through the website.
- Cannot be exchanged for cash. If the purchase amount is less than the card value, the remaining balance will be held until the card expires.
- In the event of loss or theft, cards will not be replaced unless the code can be verified.
- Right of withdrawal: 14 calendar days from the date of purchase, provided the card has not been used.
Physical products: shipping
We ship to mainland Spain within 3 to 7 business days, provided this can be operationally guaranteed. Bulky products may have a different timeframe. You can also collect your order at Mercantic. If your order arrives damaged, we recommend reporting it within 48 hours and providing photos to help us resolve the issue with the carrier. This timeframe does not limit your legal rights as a consumer.
Right of withdrawal (physical products)
You have 14 calendar days from the date you receive the product to withdraw from the purchase without giving any reason. Notify us at info@mercantic.com (you can use the withdrawal form in the annex). Return the product in its original condition within 14 days. We will refund the amount, including standard shipping costs, within a maximum of 14 days after we receive the product. In the case of a standard withdrawal, the return costs will be borne by you, as stated in these terms and conditions. If the product is defective or not in conformity, the return costs will be borne by us.
There is no right of withdrawal for personalized or custom-made products.
Warranty
New products come with a 3-year legal warranty. For second-hand and vintage products, where legally applicable and expressly agreed, the warranty is 1 year. The product page identifies the seller and distinguishes these products from new ones. Wear and tear due to age or use, as described on the product page, is not considered a lack of conformity.
Customer Service and Complaints
You can contact us at info@mercantic.com, by phone at 93 518 77 77 and 93 707 62 23, or at our offices from Tuesday to Friday from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. and Saturdays and Sundays from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. We will respond to complaints within a maximum of one month.
