Customer Ordering Disclaimer – Standardized Pack Sizes & Fresh Product Variations
Last Updated: 12 September 2026
Palenque offers fresh produce, meat, poultry, seafood, groceries, and other products through participating Vendors. Some fresh products naturally vary in size, shape, color, appearance, moisture content, trimming, and actual weight.
This disclaimer explains how standardized pack sizes, product variations, quantities, and order discrepancies are handled on the Palenque marketplace.
1. Standardized Pack Sizes and Units
Products are offered according to the size, quantity, unit, pack, standardized weight option, variant, or other specification shown in the applicable product listing.
For products commonly sold by weight, PalenquePH uses standardized weight or pack-size options rather than a post-order variable-weight price adjustment system.
Examples may include product options such as 250 g, 500 g, 1 kg, one tray, one bundle, one piece, one pack, or another clearly stated unit or variant, depending on the product.
2. Price Shown at Checkout
The Customer pays the price shown for the selected product, size, pack, quantity, or variant at the time the order is confirmed, subject to applicable taxes, delivery fees, service fees, discounts, promotions, and other charges disclosed during checkout.
PalenquePH does not increase or reduce the product price after the order merely because the actual weight of a fresh product differs slightly from the nominal or standardized pack weight shown in the listing.
3. Natural Variations in Fresh Products
Fresh agricultural and food products may naturally vary from one item or batch to another. Depending on the product, variations may include:
- Size, shape, and color
- Minor differences in actual weight
- Natural surface marks or cosmetic differences
- Ripeness, moisture, trimming, or cut characteristics
- Other ordinary natural variations consistent with the product type
Normal natural variation does not by itself mean that a product is defective, provided that the product remains safe, reasonably fresh, of acceptable quality, and substantially consistent with the confirmed listing and order.
4. Vendor Fulfillment Obligations
Vendors must supply products that substantially correspond to the confirmed size, quantity, unit, pack, standardized weight option, variant, and other material specifications shown in the Customer’s order.
Vendors must not intentionally underfill a pack, provide a materially smaller quantity, substitute a materially different size or product, or otherwise materially deviate from the confirmed order without authorization through the applicable Palenque process.
5. Material Shortages and Incorrect Quantities
A minor natural variation in a fresh product is different from a material shortage or fulfillment error.
If the Customer receives a materially short quantity, incorrect pack size, wrong product, wrong variant, missing item, or another material discrepancy from the confirmed order, the Customer may report the issue to PalenquePH for review.
Where a material discrepancy is established, an appropriate refund, replacement, correction, or other remedy may be provided in accordance with the PalenquePH Refund, Replacement & Cancellation Policy and applicable law.
6. Product Substitutions
A Vendor must not make a materially different substitution without Customer authorization through the applicable Palenque order or support process.
Where a requested item is unavailable and the Platform supports substitutions, the Customer may be offered an alternative product or variant and may accept or reject the proposed material substitution.
7. Product Quality
Standardized pack sizing does not reduce a Vendor’s responsibility to provide safe, properly handled, and reasonably fresh products in accordance with the PalenquePH Product Quality & Packaging Standards and applicable law.
Products that are spoiled, contaminated, unsafe, materially damaged, materially misdescribed, or otherwise subject to a valid complaint may qualify for a remedy under the applicable PalenquePH policies and Philippine law.
8. Reporting an Order Discrepancy
Customers should report a suspected shortage, incorrect quantity, wrong pack, incorrect product, or quality concern through the Palenque Platform or designated support channel as soon as reasonably practicable after discovering the issue.
PalenquePH may reasonably request photographs, order information, packaging information, or other evidence necessary to investigate the claim.
For fresh and perishable products, prompt reporting is particularly helpful because product condition can change rapidly after delivery. Any operational reporting target published by PalenquePH is intended to support investigation and evidence preservation and does not automatically waive rights or remedies that cannot lawfully be waived.
9. Refunds, Replacements and Corrections
Refunds, replacements, corrections, cancellations, and other Customer remedies are governed by the PalenquePH Refund, Replacement & Cancellation Policy, the PalenquePH Terms & Conditions, and applicable law.
No separate post-delivery payment should be requested from a Customer merely because the actual weight of a fresh product is slightly higher than the standardized weight option selected in the confirmed order.
Likewise, PalenquePH does not use an automatic post-order refund merely because actual fresh product weight is slightly below the nominal pack weight, unless the difference amounts to a material shortage or other fulfillment discrepancy under the applicable policies.
10. Relationship With Other Palenque Policies
This disclaimer should be read together with the PalenquePH Terms & Conditions, Vendor Agreement, Product Quality & Packaging Standards, and Refund, Replacement & Cancellation Policy.
If there is a conflict between this disclaimer and a mandatory requirement of Philippine law, the mandatory legal requirement will prevail.
