1. Scope and buyer profile

These GTCS apply to all purchases through curtidosbadia.com, regardless of the buyer’s country of origin and whether the buyer acts as a professional or business (B2B) or an end consumer (B2C).

[ PROFESSIONAL BUYERS — B2B ]

A professional buyer is any legal person or self-employed individual purchasing in the course of business or professional activity. Consumer-specific rights—withdrawal, ODR and consumer jurisdiction—do not apply to this profile. For purchases made through this channel, these GTCS will ALWAYS prevail over any signed framework agreement, which will cease to apply to those purchases.

[ END CONSUMERS — B2C ]

An end consumer is a natural person purchasing for private use outside any professional activity. All rights under consumer-protection law in the consumer’s country of residence apply, including withdrawal, Online Dispute Resolution (ODR) and the jurisdiction of the consumer’s country.

By completing checkout, the buyer declares their status and accepts the version of these GTCS in force when the contract is concluded.

2. Products

  • Silk-Elba: semi-aniline bovine leather with a smooth finish and soft feel. Thickness 1.3–1.4 mm. Standard size approximately 1.6 m². Mixed chrome-synthetic tanning. Available in 86 colors listed in the Color Guide.
  • Mozart: semi-aniline bovine leather with a pronounced enhanced grain. Thickness 1.4–1.6 mm. Standard size approximately 1.6 m². Mixed chrome-synthetic tanning. Available in 86 colors listed in the Color Guide.
  • Color chart: a physical sample of the full 86-color collection available for Silk-Elba and Mozart. A standard, non-customized product.

Full technical sheets for Silk-Elba and Mozart are available in the products section of curtidosbadia.com and are incorporated into these GTCS for each article.

Leather is a natural material of animal origin. Variations in texture, shade and grain between batches are inherent to the product. Finished hides are sold on a “Run of the Tannery” (R.O.T.) basis, meaning that THE BATCH IS SUPPLIED WITHOUT PRIOR SORTING OR GRADING BY GRAIN QUALITY (first, second or third grade). The Buyer accepts natural marks and structural variations inherent to the animal. The Seller nevertheless guarantees that the batch has passed finishing-process quality control, ensuring uniform color fixation, coating adhesion and the even thickness stated in each article’s technical sheet. Pieces with critical finishing defects—such as film detachment, dense pigment stains, tears and/or burns caused by machining—are excluded. Color references correspond to the PANTONE®* values assigned to each article; perceived color may vary with monitor calibration. Purchasing the physical color chart is recommended for final color validation before placing larger orders.

* PANTONE® and other Pantone LLC trademarks are the exclusive property of Pantone LLC. References to PANTONE® on this website are made solely for legitimate, good-faith informational purposes (nominative fair use), to describe or accurately reference industry-standard color codes, systems or guides. This website is not affiliated with, sponsored by, endorsed by or officially associated with Pantone LLC.

3. Ordering process and formation of the contract

The purchasing process consists of:

  • Selecting the product, color reference and quantity.
  • Reviewing and confirming the cart.
  • Entering shipping and billing details; a tax ID/VAT number or VAT ID is mandatory for all B2B and B2C buyers.
  • Selecting a payment method and processing the transaction through Redsys Servicios de Procesamiento, S.L. / Comercia Global Payments E.P. S.L. / CaixaBank S.A.
  • Receiving an order-receipt acknowledgement by email with a reference number.
  • Receiving order confirmation by email with a reference number and estimated preparation time.

The contract is formed when CURTIDOS BADIA, S.A.U. sends the order confirmation after verifying billing and shipping information, successful payment processing and stock availability. Receipt of payment alone does not constitute acceptance of the order.

CURTIDOS BADIA, S.A.U. may reject or cancel an order because of an error in price or product description, payment or buyer-data verification problems, lack of stock, force majeure or reasonable evidence of fraud. A paid order that is cancelled will be refunded in full within 14 calendar days using the same payment method.

4. Prices and payment terms

Prices are stated in euros (€) and include the Spanish VAT rate applicable at purchase (currently 21%). Intra-EU sales to B2B buyers with a valid VAT number may be exempt. EU-resident B2C buyers are charged VAT under the applicable One Stop Shop (OSS) regime. For buyers outside the EU, prices exclude local duties and taxes in the destination country, which are the buyer’s responsibility.

Shipping charges are not included in the product price and are detailed in clause 5.

Payment is processed through Redsys Servicios de Procesamiento, S.L. / Comercia Global Payments E.P. S.L. / CaixaBank S.A. using encrypted SSL and the CURTIDOS BADIA, S.A.U. virtual POS. Methods may include bank transfer, Visa, Mastercard, JCB, Discover, China UnionPay, Apple Pay, Google Pay, AliPay, Bizum and PayGold, plus other enabled methods. This list is indicative and non-exhaustive; it is not a commitment that a method will remain available. CURTIDOS BADIA, S.A.U. may add, remove or modify methods at its discretion and is not liable for providers’ operational or technical limitations, interruptions, or resulting damage.

Remote-payment transactions are subject to Strong Customer Authentication (SCA) under PSD2, although the card issuer may exempt authentication in certain cases. CURTIDOS BADIA, S.A.U. does not store bank-card data or payment credentials.

In the event of non-payment or chargeback, CURTIDOS BADIA, S.A.U. may suspend supply and claim outstanding amounts plus late-payment interest under Spanish Law 3/2004.

5. Shipping and transport

Orders are prepared at the CURTIDOS BADIA, S.A.U. production center in Igualada (Barcelona) within three (3) to six (6) business days after confirmation.

5.1 Shipping management

Orders are sent through a carrier and/or logistics operator of the company’s choice. The shipping cost is calculated automatically at checkout based on destination, weight and dimensions and is paid before order confirmation.

The shipping cost is always displayed before confirmation. If an issue is found after processing for a particular destination or volume, CURTIDOS BADIA, S.A.U. may contact the buyer and offer the best available option before dispatch.

The default Incoterm 2020 for orders of up to 30 hides delivered within the EU customs territory—excluding territories of a Member State outside the EU’s common or customs rules—is DDP (Delivered Duty Paid), under which the seller bears all costs and risks of bringing the goods to the destination country.

For orders of more than 30 hides delivered within that territory, CURTIDOS BADIA, S.A.U. will provide a customized quotation from the most suitable carrier. Dispatch will occur only after the buyer confirms the cost. The Incoterm 2020 agreed in the order confirmation will apply.

5.2 International shipping outside the EU

For deliveries outside the EU customs territory, including excluded territories of Member States, CURTIDOS BADIA, S.A.U. will provide a customized shipping quotation. Dispatch will occur only after buyer confirmation, under the Incoterm 2020 agreed in the order confirmation.

Such orders may be subject to customs procedures, duties, import taxes and/or excise taxes in the destination country or territory, all of which are the buyer’s sole responsibility. CURTIDOS BADIA, S.A.U. is not liable for customs delays.

6. Claims, incidents and returns

6.1 Transport incidents

The buyer must inspect the goods on receipt. Visible damage to packaging or product must be reported to online@curtidosbadia.com within five (5) business days of receipt with photographs; otherwise no return will be accepted. If no report is made within that period, the goods are deemed received in good condition.

6.2 Quantity or reference discrepancies

If the goods do not match the confirmed order, the buyer must report this within five (5) business days of receipt. CURTIDOS BADIA, S.A.U. will verify the discrepancy and, where appropriate, replace the goods or credit the relevant amount.

6.3 Manufacturing defects

Manufacturing defects not apparent on receipt must be reported within five (5) business days after discovery.

Claims do not cover, without limitation, natural leather variations; differences in grain, texture or slight shade between batches; scars, insect or parasite marks, wrinkles or ribs naturally present in the animal hide; or quality variation resulting from sale without prior sorting or grading by grain quality (first, second or third grade).

6.4 Right of withdrawal — B2C consumers only

[ APPLIES ONLY TO END CONSUMERS (B2C) ]

Under Directive 2011/83/EU and Spanish Royal Legislative Decree 1/2007, end consumers may withdraw from the contract within fourteen (14) calendar days after receiving the product without giving a reason.

Before the deadline, the consumer must notify CURTIDOS BADIA, S.A.U. by email to online@curtidosbadia.com with the subject “Withdrawal — Order no. [number]”, or by post to C/ Sol, 52, 08700 Igualada (Barcelona).
