Products on sale

At present we have for sale two titles of the collection Un libro, un tesoro . Each of them in Spanish (Nicaraguan Spanish) and Catalan version.

Un libro, un tesoro is a project –in cooperation with the Fundación Vínculos Estelí – which aims to publish and give children and young people from Nicaragua and their families quality illustrated books. They must be suggestive, interesting, motivating, so that they provide a pleasure relationship with reading and books that involve an interest in continuing to enjoy reading in a convinced, enthusiastic and sustained way.

If most of the books published are inspired by facts, stories, legends, situations, places, characters, daily life, literary or artistic productions from or created in Nicaragua, not only will cultural identification be easier, contributing to the knowledge and assessment of culture and identity itself, but also will give visibility to Nicaraguan culture elsewhere on the planet.

In cooperation with the Fundación Vínculos Estelí, the Association Som Vínculos Estelí aims to produce and sell games and toys and other educational material in the near future.

Prices

The purchase prices are the same all over the world and will be valid at the time the order is placed.

Prices are expressed in euros (€). They include VAT (Value Added Tax) applicable in Spain corresponding to each type of product and at all times.

VAT will not be applied when the purchase is made from communities that enjoy an exemption. So the final price in this case will be lower than what appears in the web store. Citizens and businesses in these communities are responsible for paying their community the taxes owed by them.

It should also be taken into account that, depending on current Value Added Tax legislation, the operation may be exempt from VAT depending on the country from which the purchase is made or depending on whether the condition of who buys is a company, a professional or an individual. The resulting final price will also then be different from the one indicated in the web store. Citizens and companies in these countries are responsible for satisfying the corresponding country with the taxes that affect them.

At all times, the Association of Som Vínculos Estelí will inform on the website about the price variations that occur or about whether there is any product in promotion or offer. Also if a temporary discount coupon is established or for a specific geographical area.

Destination of sales profits

Once all the production costs of the items have been covered, the full profits from the sales are allocated to projects of the Fundación Vínculos Estelí nicaragua.

The benefits of selling books are allocated to projects related to reading. In the event that other products were marketed in the future – for example, toys or other educational materials – the respective benefits would be allocated to projects corresponding to recreational, plastic, musical or body expression or significant and functional constructive learning in various areas of knowledge.

Two payment procedures are accepted

  • debit or credit card, by means of the Stripe catwalk.
