The Exclusive Zone is a place reserved for the most active members of Merkandi who are looking for the best offers on our platform and expect to find real bargains. You will find here specially selected offers that may not be available to the public for reasons such as:

• an agreement with a manufacturer that prohibits publication of the offers in the public domain
• the products are subject to sales restrictions in certain countries
• the products' price cannot be available in public
• the goods are branded, but their further distribution is subject to restrictions

These abovementioned conditions are most often imposed by the brands, manufacturers or distributors, and are not subject to negotiation. For this reason, the products they cover cannot be offered through publicly available sales channels. Merkandi knows about this specificity of the wholesale market, so we decided to satisfy the needs of our users by creating a closed special zone for such offers.

The buyers interested in this type of wholesale deals can buy access to the Exclusive Zone from the user dashboard. Once purchased the access, the user will be able to view special offers from the home page and in individual categories. The access to the Exclusive Zone is valid for 12 months from the day of purchase, and it is closely related to the validity of the account.

The sellers owning goods that comply with one of these restrictions may publish their offers in the Exclusive Zone by checking the box "Offer visible only to a selected group of users with access to the Exclusive Zone" in the offer publication form. Once you publish your offer, it will be visible only to the users who have purchased access to the Exclusive Zone. Please note, that the seller who does not have access to the Exclusive Zone may also publish their offers there.

The Exclusive Zone is an innovative feature on Merkandi that serves both the buyers and the sellers. The former have access to unique offers, not published on other websites, whereas the latter have the opportunity to present goods covered by sales and distribution restrictions and get in touch with the buyers who are looking for this type of products.

Therefore, the Exclusive Zone is a perfect completion of the database of offers which due to sales restrictions cannot be presented on generally available wholesale trading platforms.
