trading name of Entertainment Magpie Limited,

2. Your Status
By placing an order through our site, you warrant
that:

binding contracts; and
(b) Where CDs contain adult material, you are
at least 18 years old; and
(c) You are resident in the UK; and
(d) You are accessing our site from the UK.
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

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.
13. Notices
All notices given by you to us must be given
to Customer Services at enquiries@musicmagpie.co.uk
or at the address set out in Condition 1. We
may give notice to you at either the e-mail

an order, or in any of the ways specified in
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

sent to the specified e-mail address of the

of a Contract, or any of our rights or obligations
arising under it, at any time during the term

15.3. Our performance
under any Contract is deemed to be suspended
for the period that the Force Majeure Event
continues, and we will have 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.
16.3. No waiver by us
of any of these terms 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.

provisions of a Contract are determined by any
competent authority to be invalid, unlawful
or unenforceable to any extent, such term, condition
or provision will to that extent be severed
from the remaining terms, conditions and provisions
which will continue to be valid to the fullest
extent permitted by law.
18. Entire Agreement
18.1. These terms and conditions and any document
expressly referred to in them represent the
entire agreement between us in relation to the
subject matter of any Contract and supersede
any prior agreement, understanding or arrangement
between us, whether oral or in writing.
18.2. We each acknowledge

in payment methods, changes in relevant laws
and regulatory requirements and changes in our
system's capabilities.
19.2. You will be subject
to the policies and terms and conditions in
force at the time that you order products from
us, unless any change to those policies or these
terms and conditions is required to be made
by law or governmental authority (in which case
it will apply to orders previously placed by
you), or if we notify you of the change to those
policies or these terms and conditions before
we send you the Dispatch Confirmation (in which
case we have the right to assume that you have
accepted the change to the terms and conditions,
unless you notify us to the contrary within
seven working days of receipt by you of the
CDs).
