Products and their availability
The products are as described on the website. Please note that there may be slight variations between the delivered product and the product image shown on the website. You should ensure you review the product description on the website before placing your order.
All products displayed on the website are subject to availability, as indicated on the page. If, due to an unintentional error, we process a purchase of an unavailable product, we will inform you by email as soon as possible that the requested product is unavailable and your order will not be processed.
The products offered will only be available for delivery and shipping within the non-insular Republic of Chile, to all regions of the country.
How to make a purchase?
To place an order, follow the online purchase procedure, which begins with selecting the products you wish to purchase and adding them to your "cart." Then, click the "Confirm Order" button, at which point you will be redirected to our payment provider's page, where you can pay for your order using any of the payment methods available on the payment platform.
By clicking the Confirm Order button, you are confirming that the debit or credit card indicated for payment is yours and is enabled for the transaction. After validation and payment, you will receive an email acknowledging receipt of your purchase order (Order Confirmation Receipt). Please note that this does not mean your purchase process is complete.
Once we receive your purchase order, EL PRINCIPAL will validate the information you provided, such as your identity as the buyer, your age, and address, and reconfirm the availability of the requested products. Only after this validation has been completed and the results have been positive will we inform you by email that your purchase has been accepted (“Purchase Confirmation”).
EL PRINCIPAL reserves the right to refuse any order for any reason and at any time before sending the Purchase Confirmation email. Once EL PRINCIPAL has sent you the Purchase Confirmation email, the sales contract between you and EL PRINCIPAL will be considered executed and will be legally binding on both parties from that moment onward. The Purchase Confirmation email will always include a copy of these Terms and Conditions of Sale, which constitute your contract with us.
Finally, when the Product is being shipped to the provided dispatch address, we will send you a new email (Shipping Confirmation), informing you of the delivery date.
Exceptionally, after the stock validation and reconfirmation process and before sending you the Purchase Confirmation email, the order may be rejected if there are inconsistencies with the data you provided as the buyer, or if the selected products are out of stock. In such cases, we will send you an email informing you of the situation, and we will proceed to refund any amounts already paid, all as quickly as possible.
Product Prices
All product prices listed on the website are in Chilean pesos and include Value Added Tax (VAT), in accordance with current legislation. Published prices exclude shipping costs, which are also subject to VAT and will be added to the total amount once you select your delivery method. Prices may change at any time, but any changes will not affect orders for which we have already sent a Purchase Confirmation email. All shipping costs will be displayed at the time of ordering and will be added to the product price before you click the Confirm Order button.
It is possible that, despite our efforts, a product on our website may be incorrectly priced. If we discover a pricing error for a product you have ordered, we will inform you of this error and give you the option to proceed with your order at the correct price or to cancel it. If you do not respond within seven (7) days, we will treat the order as canceled and notify you in writing.

Unless unforeseen or extraordinary circumstances arise, we will ship your order within the timeframe indicated on the Website according to the selected shipping method and, in any case, within a maximum of thirty (30) business days from the date the Purchase Confirmation email is sent. If the order consists of more than one Product, these may be delivered on different days, and you will be informed of this beforehand. Due to local measures that partially restrict vehicle traffic on business days, delivery times to remote cities or municipalities may be longer than indicated.
If for any reason we are unable to meet the delivery date, we will inform you of this and give you the option of proceeding with the purchase by setting a new delivery date or cancelling the order with a full refund of the price paid.
For the purposes of these Terms, delivery shall be deemed to have occurred when you, or a third party designated by you, take physical possession of the Products, which will be evidenced by a signature upon receipt of the order at the agreed delivery address. The Products will be your responsibility and at your risk once they have been delivered to the address indicated in the order.
Delivery impossibility
If delivery of your order is impossible due to circumstances beyond the control of EL PRINCIPAL, such as no one being present or only an adult being present at the address you provided, your order will be returned to our warehouse. In these cases, we will leave a note explaining where your order is and how to arrange for redelivery. Please note that under no circumstances will the product be delivered to minors at the time of delivery.
