3. How the Contract is Formed between
Us
3.1. After placing an order, you will receive
an e-mail from us acknowledging that we have
received your order. Please note that this does
not mean that your order has been accepted.
Your order constitutes an offer to us to buy
a CD. All orders are subject to acceptance by
us, and we will confirm such acceptance to you
by sending you an e-mail that confirms that
the CD has been dispatched (“the Dispatch
Confirmation”). The contract between us
(“the Contract”) will only be formed
when we send you the Dispatch Confirmation.
3.2. The Contract will relate only to those
CDs whose dispatch we have confirmed in the
Dispatch Confirmation. We will not be obliged
to supply any other CDs which may have been
part of your order until the dispatch of such
CDs has been confirmed in a separate Dispatch
Confirmation.
4. Quality of CDs
4.1. You acknowledge that CDs sold by us, pursuant
to the Contract, will be pre-played CDs.
4.2. We use sophisticated equipment to check
the CDs we sell and warrant that, although pre-played,
the disk will be in perfect playing condition
when dispatched to you.
4.3. CDs will be dispatched with all original
covers, artwork, booklets and other inserts
which were supplied with the CDs when we purchased
them ourselves.
4.4. The cases for the CDs will be structurally
sound but may have some blemishes and minor
damage associated with the prior day to day
use of the pre played CD.
4.5. Should you receive any CD which is defective
(following the process set out in Condition
10) or which is satisfactorily proved by you
to have been damaged in transit, then the refunds
policy, set out in Condition 10, will apply
(such policy not affecting your statutory rights
as a consumer).
5. Third Party Links
5.1. We may provide links on our site to the
websites of other companies, whether affiliated
with us or not. We cannot give any undertaking,
that products you purchase from third party
sellers through our site, or from companies
to whose website we have provided a link on
our site, will be of satisfactory quality, and
any such warranties are DISCLAIMED by us absolutely.
This DISCLAIMER does not affect your statutory
rights against the third party seller. We will
notify you when a third party is involved in
a transaction, and we may disclose your customer
information related to that transaction to the
third party seller.
6. Consumer Rights
6.1. If you are contracting as a consumer, you
may cancel a Contract at any time within 7 working
days, beginning the day after you receive the
CDs.
6.2. In this case you will receive a full refund
of the price paid for the CDs in accordance
with our refunds policy (set out in Condition
10 below).
6.3. To cancel a Contract you must inform us
in writing. You must also return the CDs to
us immediately, in the same condition in which
you received them, and at your own cost and
risk.
6.4. You have a legal obligation to take reasonable
care of the CDs whilst they are in your possession
and if you fail to comply with this obligation,
we may have a right of action of you for compensation.
6.5. You will not have any right to cancel
a Contract for the supply of any of the CDs
if the tamper-proof seal on them has been broken.
6.6. Neither this provision nor any other provision
of the Contract will otherwise affect your statutory
rights in relation to the CDs subject to your
understanding that any CDs you order from us
will be pre-played CDs although we warrant that
they will be in perfect playing condition. Please
see our Returns Policy for imperfect CDs.
7. Availability and Delivery
Your order will be fulfilled by the delivery
date set out in the Dispatch Confirmation or,
if no delivery date is specified, then within
a reasonable time of the date of the Dispatch
Confirmation, unless there are exceptional circumstances.
8. Risk and Title
8.1. The CDs will be at your risk from the time
of delivery but ownership of the CDs will only
pass to you when we receive full payment of
all sums due in respect of the CDs, including
delivery charges.
9. Price and Payment
9.1. The price of any CDs will be as quoted
on our site from time to time, except in cases
of obvious error.
9.2. These prices include VAT but exclude delivery
costs, which are detailed on the website.
9.3. Prices are liable to change at any time,
but changes will not affect orders in respect
of which we have already sent you a Dispatch
Confirmation.
9.4. Our site contains a large number of CDs
and it is always possible that, despite our
best efforts, some of the CDs listed on our
site may be incorrectly priced. We will normally
verify prices as part of our dispatch procedures
so that, where a CD's correct price is less
than our stated price, we will charge the lower
amount when dispatching the CD to you. If a
CD´s correct price is higher than the
price stated on our site, we will normally,
at our discretion, either contact you for instructions
before dispatching the CD, or reject your order
and notify you of such rejection.
9.5. We are under no obligation to provide
the CD to you at the incorrect (lower) price,
even after we have sent you a Dispatch Confirmation,
if the pricing error is obvious and unmistakeable
and could have reasonably been recognised by
you as a mis-pricing.
9.6. Payment for all CDs must be by credit
or debit card. We accept payment with most major
types of credit card except American Express
at this time. We will not charge your credit
or debit card until we despatch your order.
10. Our Refunds Policy
10.1. When you return a CD to us because you
have cancelled the Contract between us within
the 7 day cooling off period, set out in Condition
6, we will process the refund due to you as
soon as possible and, in any case, within 30
days of the day you have given notice of your
cancellation (subject always to us having received
the CD back from you). In this case, we will
refund the price of the CD in full, including
the cost of sending the CD to you. However,
you will be responsible for the cost of returning
the item to us.
10.2. When you return a CD to us because you
claim that the CD is defective, we will examine
the returned CD with our state of the art equipment
and will notify you of your refund via e-mail
within a reasonable period of time.
10.3. When you return a CD to us because you
claim that the CD has been damaged in transit,
you should also return the packaging in which
it was delivered, together with any notification
of damage which you may have received from the
postal service who delivered it. We will examine
the CD to assure ourselves that we believe the
damage which it may have sustained is consistent
with the sort of damage which could occur during
transit, and will notify you of your refund
by e-mail within a reasonable period of time.
10.4. If we agree that the CD is defective,
under Condition 10.2 or 10.3, we will usually
process the refund due to you as soon as possible
and, in any case, within 7 days of the day we
confirmed to you via e-mail that you are entitled
to a refund for the defective CD.
10.5. CDs returned by you because of an agreed
defect will be refunded in full, including a
refund of any delivery charges for sending the
item to you and the cost incurred by you in
returning the item to us (if made known to us).
10.6. If we do not agree that the CD is defective,
we will nevertheless provide you with a refund
but will retain from that refund a charge to
cover the time and expense of examining the
CD and of communicating our findings with you
and providing you with the refund.
10.7. In both cases, any refunds to you will
usually be made using the same method originally
used by you to pay for your purchase.
11. Our Liability
11.1. We warrant to you that any CD purchased
from us through our site is of satisfactory
quality and reasonably fit for all the purposes
for which products of the kind are commonly
supplied.
11.2. Our liability for losses you suffer as
a result of us breaking this agreement is strictly
limited to the purchase price of the CD you
purchased and any losses which are a foreseeable
consequence of us breaking the agreement. Losses
are foreseeable where they could be contemplated
by you and us at the time your order is accepted
by us.
11.3. This does not include or limit in any
way our liability:
(a) For death or personal injury caused by our
negligence;
(b) Under section 2(3) of the Consumer Protection
Act 1987;
(c) For fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation;
or
(d) For any matter for which it would be illegal
for us to exclude, or attempt to exclude, our
liability.
11.4. We are not responsible for indirect losses
which happen as a side effect of the main loss
or damage and which are not foreseeable by you
and us (such as loss of income or revenue, loss
of business, loss of profits or contracts, loss
of anticipated savings, loss of data, waste
of management or office time) however arising
and whether caused by tort (including negligence),
breach of contract or otherwise, even if foreseeable.
12. Written Communications
Applicable laws require that some of the information
or communications we send to you should be in
writing. When using our site, you accept that
communication with us will be mainly electronic.
We will contact you by e-mail or provide you
with information by posting notices on our website.
For contractual purposes, you agree to this
electronic means of communication and you acknowledge
that all contracts, notices, information and
other communications that we provide to you
electronically comply with any legal requirement
that such communications be in writing. This
condition does not affect your statutory rights.

this Condition 13. Notice will be deemed received
and properly served immediately when posted
on our website, 24 hours after an e-mail is
sent, or three days after the date of posting
of any letter. In proving the service of any
notice, it will be sufficient to prove, in the
case of a letter, that such letter was properly
addressed, stamped and placed in the post and,
in the case of an e-mail, that such e-mail was
sent to the specified e-mail address of the
addressee.

15.3. Our performance under any Contract is
deemed to be suspended for the period that the

an extension of time for performance for the
duration of that period. We will use our reasonable
endeavours to bring the Force Majeure Event
to a close or to find a solution by which our
obligations under the Contract may be performed
despite the Force Majeure Event.
16. Waiver
16.1. If we fail, at any time during the term
of a Contract, to insist upon strict performance
of any of your obligations under the Contract
or any of these terms and conditions, or if
we fail to exercise any of the rights or remedies
to which we are entitled under the Contract,
this shall not constitute a waiver of such rights
or remedies and shall not relieve you from compliance
with such obligations.
16.2. A waiver by us of any default shall not
constitute a waiver of any subsequent default.

and conditions shall be effective unless it
is expressly stated to be a waiver and is communicated
to you in writing in accordance with Condition
13 above.

which will continue to be valid to the fullest
extent permitted by law.

STANDARD CONDITIONS
OF PURCHASE OF PRE-PLAYED CDs
1. Interpretation
In the Contract:
Contract: means the Quotation
and the Seller's acceptance of the Quotation;
CDs: the pre-played CD’s
including original artwork, covers, booklets
or other inserts intended to be bought by musicmagpie
from the Seller (including any part or parts
of them);
Musicmagpie: is the trading
name of Entertainment Magpie Limited, a company
registered in England and Wales under company
number 6277562 with its registered office at
PO Box 150, Hazel Grove, Stockport, Cheshire,
SK7 6WD, which is our main trading address.
VAT number TBC.
Quotation: musicmagpie's written
quotation to purchase the CDs, incorporating
these conditions; and
Seller: the person who accepts
musicmagpie's Quotation.
1. Application of Terms
1.1. These conditions are the only conditions
upon which musicmagpie is prepared to deal with
the Seller and they shall govern the Contract
to the entire exclusion of all other terms or
conditions.
1.2. These conditions apply to all musicmagpie's
purchases and any variation to these conditions
shall have no effect unless expressly agreed
in writing and signed by a director of musicmagpie.
2. Formation of Contract
2.1. The Seller must confirm to musicmagpie
the CDs it wishes musicmagpie to make an offer
to purchase. The information required by musicmagpie
to make a Quotation is the barcode of each individual
CD which must be sent to musicmagpie by entering
the details on the appropriate website page.
2.2. Following receipt of each barcode, musicmagpie
will provide a Quotation to the Seller of the
price at which musicmagpie is prepared to purchase
each individual CD. The Seller acknowledges
that only CDs which conform to the necessary
quality and provenance standards set out in
these Conditions will be accepted and CD’s
which do not meet the necessary standard will
be returned to the Seller under Condition 3.5.
2.3. The Quotation will give an individual
price for each CD for which the Seller requests
a price. Each Quotation for CDs by musicmagpie
from the Seller shall be deemed to be an offer
by musicmagpie to buy that CD subject to these
conditions (including, in particular, Clause
5.2).
2.4. The Quotation must be accepted by the
Seller by following the process set out on the
Website which will require the Seller to confirm
that it accepts these Conditions and then to
confirm its agreement to accept the Quotation
by pressing the “Accept” button,
at which point the Contract will be formed.
The Seller is then legally obliged to post the
CDs in question to musicmagpie in accordance
with the process and within the timescales set
out below.
2.5. The Seller should retain a copy of the
Quotation for its records.
2.6. If the Seller accepts the Quotation by
following the appropriate procedure, musicmagpie
will send the pre-paid and pre-addressed package
for delivery of the CDs to the Seller. The Quotation
will lapse automatically on expiry of the timescale
set out in Clause 5.2. If the Seller sends CDs
to musicmagpie after the expiry of the Quotation,
it does so at its own risk in relation to the
price musicmagpie may offer for the purchase
of those CDs.
3. Seller’s Warranty of Quality
and Ownership
3.1. The Seller warrants and confirms that the
CDs shall:
(a) be legally owned by the Seller who is entitled
to sell them to musicmagpie;
(b) have been legitimately obtained CDs and
are not pirated or other unauthorised copies
(such as rental or library CDs or other CDs
not capable of sale by the Seller);
(c) the disk is in perfect playing condition
and the jewel case is structurally sound (although
the case may have some blemishes on associated
with historical day to day use); and
(d) comprise all original artwork, covers, booklets
or other inserts sold originally with the CD.
Magpie reminds the Seller of the CDs that digital
copies of CDs should not be retained after ownership
of the CD has been passed.
3.2. In relation to Condition 3.1(b), musicmagpie
puts you on notice that it has sophisticated
equipment to check the origin and authenticity
of CDs and that any pirated CDs or others of
dubious origin or authenticity will be reported
to the police and other anti-piracy bodies together
with your contact details.
3.3. In relation to Condition 3.1(c), musicmagpie
has state of the art equipment for checking
the playing quality of CDs and will batch test
or individually test (at its discretion) any
CDs sent in by the Seller to determine playing
quality.
3.4. musicmagpie's rights under these conditions
are in addition to the statutory conditions
implied in favour of musicmagpie by the Sale
of Goods Act 1979.
3.5. If CDs delivered by the Seller fail to
meet quality expectations, or are delivered
without the relevant artwork, covers, booklets
or other inserts, musicmagpie shall not be bound
to honour its Quotation in relation to those
CDs. If the disk is deemed by musicmagpie to
be in need of cosmetic repair, musicmagpie reserves
the right to make a deduction of 50p from the
original offer price of that CD, to enable musicmagpie
to be able to offer the product for resale as
‘in perfect playing condition’.
If less than 50p was originally offered for
the CD, an amount equal to the original offer
price will be deducted, taking the revised offer
price to zero. Returning the CD to the seller
is not an option. If the jewel case is not structurally
sound, musicmagpie will similarly not return
the CD but instead replace the case with a new
one and in this instance musicmagpie reserves
the right to make a deduction of 25p for the
cost of replacing the case.
3.6. Any inspection or testing carried out
shall not diminish or otherwise affect the Seller's
obligations under the Contract.
3.7. If any of the CDs fail to comply with
the provisions set out in this Condition 3 musicmagpie
shall be entitled to avail itself of any one
or more remedies listed in Condition 12.
4. Indemnity
The Seller shall keep musicmagpie indemnified
in full against all direct, indirect or consequential
liabilities (all three of which terms include,
without limitation, loss of profit, loss of
business, depletion of goodwill and like loss),
loss, damages, injury, costs and expenses (including
legal and other professional fees and expenses)
awarded against or incurred or paid by musicmagpie
as a result of or in connection with:
(a) defective CDs;
(b) the Seller’s provision of inaccurate
or defective contact details (whether e-mail,
telephone or postal address); and
(c) any infringement or alleged infringement
of any intellectual property rights of any third
party associated with the CDs.
5. Delivery
5.1. The CDs shall be delivered to musicmagpie
by the Seller in the self addressed and pre-paid
packaging sent by musicmagpie to the Seller
to musicmagpie's place of business or to such
other place of delivery as is set out on the
packaging sent to the Seller.
5.2. The Seller is obliged to return the CDs
which are contained in the Quotation within
5 days of the receipt by it of the package.
Musicmagpie cannot be responsible for packages
which go astray in the postal system and the
Seller is advised to obtain proof of postage
when sending the CDs to musicmagpie. The CDs
received by musicmagpie will be conclusive evidence
of what the Seller posted irrespective of any
schedule or inventory of CDs or the CDs not
matching the details on the Quotation.
5.3. The Seller shall ensure that each delivery
is accompanied by the paperwork that the package
obliges the Seller to return, including a signed
copy of the Quotation and a signed copy of the
list of CDs set out in the Quotation and expected
to be delivered under the Contract. CDs sent
in response to the Seller’s acceptance
of a Quotation must be sent in one consignment
and no delivery by instalments is permitted.
5.4. If the CDs are not delivered on the due
date (or not all of the CDs supposed to be delivered
are included in the package) then, without prejudice
to any other rights which it may have, musicmagpie
reserves the right to:
(a) cancel the Contract in whole or in part
or re-quote for price that it is willing to
pay for the CDs in question;
(b) refuse to accept any subsequent delivery
of the CDs which the Seller attempts to make;
(c) recover from the Seller any expenditure
reasonably incurred by musicmagpie in making
the Quotation and in sending out the pre-paid
packaging; and
(d) claim damages for any additional costs,
loss or expenses incurred by musicmagpie which
are in any way attributable to the Seller's
failure to deliver the CDs on the due date.
5.5. musicmagpie will not return any packaging
material to the Seller and the Seller acknowledges
that the packaging that musicmagpie may use
to return any CDs to the Seller may not be the
original packaging in which the Seller sent
them to musicmagpie, such original packaging
being removed from the CD as part of musicmagpie’s
processing of it.
5.6. musicmagpie shall not be deemed to have
accepted the CDs until it has had 7 days to
inspect them following delivery and musicmagpie’s
log of what it has received from the Seller
shall be conclusive evidence of what was posted
by the Seller and no claims for missing items
will be entertained by musicmagpie.
6. Risk/Property
6.1. Risk of loss of or damage to the CDs shall
remain with the Seller until the CDs are received
by musicmagpie. Although musicmagpie is setting
the mode of delivery, the Seller acknowledges
that until a package containing the CDs has
arrived at musicmagpie’s premises, it
cannot know conclusively whether the scheduled
CDs have been delivered or what condition they
are in and cannot be held to compensate the
Seller for the value which might appear on the
Quotation in advance of checking the CDs.
6.2. Legal title to the CDs will pass when
musicmagpie makes payment for the CDs for which
payment becomes due in accordance with these
conditions.
7. Price
7.1. The price of the CDs shall be stated in
the Quotation subject always to musicmagpie’s
rights in relation to the quality and provenance
of the CDs set out in these conditions and unless
otherwise agreed in writing by musicmagpie shall
be inclusive of value added tax but inclusive
of all other charges.
7.2. In particular, musicmagpie shall not be
obliged to pay any amounts for CDs which are
in breach of the warranties set out in Condition
3.1.
7.3. In relation to CDs delivered in breach
of Conditions 3.1(c) and (d), musicmagpie reserves
the right to make the deductions as detailed
in section 3.5.
7.4. In relation to CDs delivered in breach
of Conditions 3.1(b), musicmagpie shall not
be obliged to return them to the Seller and
is entitled to forward them to any authority
it deems suitable in relation to law enforcement
or anti-piracy and counterfeiting authority
or body and such CDs shall not qualify for any
payment from musicmagpie to the Seller.
8. Payment
8.1. musicmagpie shall dispatch payment
within 3 days of delivery of the CDs to musicmagpie
by cheque or on occasion by offering to credit
a credit card that has been previously utilised
for a musicmagpie transaction. On screen instructions
on the musicmagpie website will advise as appropriate
of this eventuality. Payment will not be made
by cash under any circumstances. Time for payment
shall not be of the essence of the Contract.
8.2. Without prejudice to any other right or
remedy, musicmagpie reserves the right to set
off any amount owing at any time from the Seller
to musicmagpie against any amount payable by
the Seller to musicmagpie under the Contract.
9. Confidentiality and Data Protection
9.1. The Seller shall keep in strict confidence
all technical or commercial know-how, specifications,
inventions, processes or initiatives which are
of a confidential nature and have been disclosed
to the Seller by musicmagpie or its agents and
any other confidential information concerning
musicmagpie's business or its products which
the Seller may obtain and the Seller shall restrict
disclosure of such confidential material to
such of its employees, agents or sub-contractors
as need to know the same for the purpose of
discharging the Seller's obligations to musicmagpie
and shall ensure that such employees, agents
or sub-contractors are subject to like obligations
of confidentiality as bind the Seller.
9.2. musicmagpie shall act strictly in accordance
with the obligations placed on it by the Data
Protection Act 1998 and subsequent legislation
subject to its ability to pass on the personal
data of any Seller in relation to who pirated
or counterfeit CDs are passed to enforcement
authorities. The Seller acknowledges in this
regard that musicmagpie has the sort of equipment
able to identify pirated or counterfeited CDs
that the Seller does not have and that musicmagpie’s
passing on of the Seller’s personal data
may result in an investigation into the origin
of the relevant CDs. musicmagpie and the Seller
both acknowledge that the Seller may have purchased
pirated or counterfeited CDs honestly and does
not necessarily have the means to identify such
illegal goods in which case, the Seller may
become obliged to assist the authorities in
their enquiries but that the Seller may not
themselves have any responsibility or liability
for the provenance of the relevant CDs.
10. The Company's Property
Pre-paid and addressed packaging sent to the
Seller by musicmagpie must only be used for
the delivery to musicmagpie of the CDs which
are the subject of the Contract and attendant
administrative paperwork and the Seller shall
use such packaging for no other purpose.
11. Termination
11.1. musicmagpie shall have the right at any
time by giving notice in writing to the Seller
to terminate the Contract forthwith if the Seller
commits a material breach of any of the terms
and conditions of the Contract.
11.2. Termination of the Contract, however
arising, shall be without prejudice to the rights
