RELIC

About us

Where everything here comes from

RELIC sells merch from the films and series you are about to see —T-shirts, sweatshirts, mugs and prints drawn by us— and publishes a page for each one. This page exists so that you can check where each thing comes from, without having to take our word for it.

Who runs it

RELIC is a brand of Flexibles y Accesorios Gobe, S.L., tax ID B56727993. We answer at hola@flexigobe.com: orders, returns, corrections and anything that is wrong. A person answers. The full details are in the legal notice.

Where the data on each page comes from

The data on films and series —directing, screenplay, cast, year, running time, country, music, cinematography, budget and box office— comes from Wikidata and from TheTVDB, and every page links to its source. The posters come from TheTVDB, credited on every page as its licence requires.

When a page carries a plot summary, it is a quotation from Wikipedia and it is marked as such, with its link and its CC BY-SA licence. What we write is never dressed up as something else, and neither is what belongs to someone else.

If you find a wrong fact, write to us and it gets fixed. It happens: open data has gaps and errors, and we would rather be told.

Where the designs come from

The motifs on the garments are drawn by us, one by one, from works whose rights have already expired: engravings, natural history plates, star charts, navigation instruments. Every collection explains which particular work it comes from, with author, year and why it is free.

The rule in Spain is 80 years from the author's death for those who died before 7 December 1987, and 70 for everyone else. When a source does not meet it, it is not used, however beautiful it may be.

What is official and what is not

We sell two different things and we say so clearly. Our own designs are not official products of any film, series or studio, and we are not associated with any of them: they are our own drawings based on public-domain works, and the titles next to them are only there to identify which work is being talked about. The official merchandise, by contrast, is merchandising licensed by its brand, bought from an authorised distributor; each product page states the maker and the licence. Trademarks belong to their owners.

How what gets published is written

The articles and the collection pages are documented with sources and checked fact by fact before they are published: dates, names, editions and court rulings. When something cannot be verified, it does not get written. It is slower and fewer pages come out, but it is the only way a site about where things come from can be taken seriously.

Automatic tools are used to research and to write, always with review and verification of the sources. We say so because asking is reasonable and hiding it would be exactly the opposite of what we sell.

How what we sell is made

Every garment is printed at production centres inside the European Union. No customs. The times and the conditions are in shipping and in returns, and the price you see has VAT included; shipping is charged separately and in plain sight, never hidden.
