Seller's terms and conditions on Merkandi

The possibility of selling on Merkandi is undoubtedly associated with many benefits, but also with the obligation to comply with certain rules. Each seller must accept and abide by these Terms and Conditions prior to publishing the first offer on the platform.

Conditions for activation of the selling features

Selling options activation conditions

The seller must provide documents enabling verification of their business activity, including the current company status, address, etc. Documents enabling such verification are:

  • A document confirming registration of a business

  • Bank statement

  • Utility bills

  • Purchase/sales invoices

  • Other documents that will allow us to effectively verify the credibility of the seller and exclude the possibility of impersonating other people or companies.

 

The above documents must meet certain requirements:

  • Documents must be issued for the company, not for a private person (excluding sole proprietorships)

  • Bank statements, utility bills or invoices must be no more than 3 months old

  • The documents must be issued for the company whose verification is performed. Documents issued for third parties, regardless of their connection, will not be accepted. 

 

Verification documents are assigned to the Customer's account, and are available both to them and the Merkandi team throughout the account's validity period. Merkandi guarantees that the documents sent will be used only for verification purposes and that they will not be passed on to third parties. A request from the seller to remove the verification documents from an active account means simultaneous deactivation of the sale option.

 

WARNING! Each sent document that Merkandi will verify as manipulated or forged will be immediately reported to the relevant law enforcement authorities.

 

Selling features

The selling option is only available if you have a PREMIUM account, and it is not an integral part of the account. This means that any user of such an account may apply for the activation of the selling features. Nevertheless, please note that:

  • The validity period of the selling option is closely related to the validity period of the User's account

  • Merkandi reserves the right to additionally and periodically verify the seller's activity at any time without giving any reason. Verification is also performed again when the account is renewed for another year.

 

Suspension of selling option and wholesalers blacklist

The suspension is tantamount to deactivating the selling features in the user's account, removing the seller from the list of wholesalers and deactivating all offers and other additional information about the seller.

 

In cases confirmed by court and police report, Merkandi reserves the right to blacklist the wholesaler and provide a description of the event. The seller may apply for removal from the blacklist provided that the case is proven to be resolved and/or non-compliance with the actual incident is proved, or after the Buyers' claims are revoked.

 

Suspension of the selling option or even complete blocking of the account may also occur when the seller offers their products by sending messages with their offer to other wholesalers. All goods sold must be offered in the form of a wholesale offer on Merkandi, and the sale must take place through the buyer's contact with the seller.
