3     Our contract with you

3.1       How we will accept your order. Our acceptance of your order will take place when we email you to accept it, and at which point a contract will come into existence between you and us.

3.2       If we cannot accept your order. If we are unable to accept your order, we will inform you of this and will not charge you. This might be because of unexpected limits on our resources which we could not reasonably plan for, or because we are unable to meet a delivery deadline you have specified.

3.3       Your order number. We will assign an order number and tell you what it is when we accept your order. It will help us if you can tell us the order number whenever you contact us about your order.

4     Our grant to you of a LICENCE to use the digital content

4.1       What is digital content? In these terms ‘digital content’ means the audio material and any other digital content which we are to supply under our contract with you.

4.2       Who owns the digital content? You acknowledge and agree that as between you and us we are the owner of all the copyright and other intellectual property rights in the digital content which now or at any time in the future will subsist in any part of the world.

4.3       The licence we are granting to you. We will grant to you a non-transferable and non-exclusive licence to use the digital content. For the avoidance of doubt, the granting of this licence does not affect our ownership of the copyright and other intellectual property rights in the digital content.

4.4       You cannot assign or sub-licence the licence. Although the licence granted will permit you to use the digital content yourself, you must not at any time assign this licence (or any part of it) or grant any sub-licence of any of the digital content to any third party. You are not permitted to re-sell all or any of the digital content, but you may incorporate the digital content into a product provided that the digital content is incidental to and not distinguishable from that product. For the avoidance of doubt, as owners of the digital content we may ourselves at any time and in any way use or otherwise commercially exploit any of the digital content, including by means of licensing it to third parties.

4.5       No changes etc to the digital content. You must not in any way change, amend or develop any of the digital content, or sample or use any of the digital content in any music production software. For the purpose of this clause, ‘sampling’ means the act of taking a portion, or sample, of one sound recording and reusing it as an instrument or a sound recording in a different song or piece.

4.6       What happens if digital content is changed? Without affecting your obligations under clause 4.5, if any of the digital content is changed, amended or developed, all copyright and other intellectual property rights in the changed, amended or developed digital content will belong to us. You must do all such acts and things as we may at any time reasonably require to ensure that we remain or become (as the case may be) the owner of these rights, including executing a deed of assignment. All such rights assigned to us under this clause shall form part of the digital content, and of the licence granted, from the date of that assignment.

4.7       Limits on your use of the digital content. You must ensure that any use of the digital content (or any part of it) will not in any way infringe any copyright or other intellectual property rights belonging to any third party, be unlawful, obscene or morally offensive in any country or in any jurisdiction, or prejudice or harm us or our business (or any part of it).

4.8       Your obligations if there is an infringement of copyright etc. If at any time you have any reason to believe that any of the digital content infringes any copyright or other intellectual property rights belonging to any third party, or is otherwise unlawful in any country or in any jurisdiction, you must promptly notify us and provide such documentation and information relating to the possible infringement or unlawfulness as we may reasonably request.

4.9       Our rights if there is an infringement of copyright etc. If at any time we have reason to believe that any of the digital content infringes any copyright or other intellectual property rights belonging to any third party, or is otherwise unlawful in any country or in any jurisdiction, we may require you to stop using that digital content. If this happens we may either provide you with suitable alternative digital content or end our contract with you in accordance with clause 10.1.

4.10     Your obligations to cooperate in any enforcement action. If at any time we have reason to believe that any third party is doing any act or thing which infringes any copyright or other intellectual property rights in any of the digital content, you must do all such acts and things as we may reasonably require in connection with the enforcement of such rights, including the issue of legal proceedings. We will be responsible for the cost of any such proceedings, and we will be entitled to any damages, account of profits and awards of costs recovered.

4.11     Our rights as the author of the digital content. We, being the sole author of the digital content, assert our moral right to be identified as the author of the digital content (under Chapter 4 of the Copyright, Designs & Patents Act 1988).

4.12     Your responsibility to obtain all required licences etc. You are responsible for obtaining all licences and other consents that are required in connection with your use of the digital content (including any applicable PRS for Music Ltd licence), and shall pay all applicable fees and royalties to the relevant collection societies in accordance with its rules.

4.13     What happens to the licence if the contract between you and us ends? If the contract between you and us ends for any reason (whether in accordance with these terms, by operation of law or otherwise), the licence granted under clause 4.3 shall automatically end as well, and you must immediately stop using the digital content and thereafter you will have no right to use any of the digital contact for any purpose. For the avoidance of doubt, all the copyright and other intellectual property rights in the digital content which now or at any time in the future will subsist in any part of the world will belong to us.

5     Your rights to make changes

If you wish to make a change to the digital content you have ordered please contact us. We will let you know if the change is possible. If it is possible we will let you know about any change to the price, the timing of supply, or anything else which would be necessary as a result of your requested change, and ask you to confirm whether you wish to go ahead with the change.

6     Our rights to make changes

We may update or require you to update any digital content you have ordered to reflect any changes in relevant laws and regulatory requirements or to implement minor technical adjustments and improvements, for example to address a security threat. These changes should not affect your use of the digital content.

7     Providing the digital content

7.1       When we will supply the digital content. We will make the digital content available for download by you on or before the delivery date specified in your order, and if no such date is specified then within a reasonable time (usually 28 days) after we accept your order.

7.2       How we will supply the digital content. We will supply you with an encrypted audio file attached to an email sent to you at the email address specified in your order.

7.2       We are not responsible for delays outside our control. If our supply of the digital content is delayed by an event outside our control then we will contact you as soon as possible to let you know, and we will take steps to minimise the effect of the delay. Provided we do this we will not be liable for any delays caused by the event, but if there is a risk of substantial delay you may contact us to end the contract between you and us and receive a refund for any digital content you have paid for but not received.

7.3       What will happen if you do not give any required information to us? We may need certain information from you so that we can supply the digital content to you. If so we will contact you to ask for this information. If you do not give us this information within a reasonable time of us asking for it, or if you give us incomplete or incorrect information, we may either end the contract between you and us (and clause 10.3 will apply) or make an additional charge of a reasonable sum to compensate us for any extra work that is required as a result. We will not be responsible for supplying any digital content late or not supplying any part of the digital content if this is caused by you not giving us the information we need within a reasonable time of us asking for it.

7.4       Reasons we may suspend the supply of digital content to you. We may have to suspend the supply of digital content to deal with any technical problems or make minor technical changes, update the digital content to reflect any changes in the relevant laws and regulatory requirements, or make changes to the digital content as requested by you or notified by us to you (see clause 6).

7.5       Your rights if we suspend the supply of digital content. We will contact you in advance to tell you we will be suspending the supply of any digital content, unless the problem is urgent or an emergency. You may contact us to end the contract between you and us if we suspend the supply of any digital content, or tell you we are going to suspend it, in each case for a period of more than 7 days. We will refund any sums you have paid in advance for the digital content in respect of the period after you end the contract.

7.6       We may also suspend the supply of the digital content if you do not pay. If you do not pay us for the digital content when you are supposed to (see clause 14.2) and you still do not make payment within 7 days of us reminding you that payment is due, we may suspend the supply of all or any of the digital content until you have paid us the outstanding amount. We will contact you to tell you we are suspending the supply of the digital content. We will not suspend the digital content where you dispute an unpaid invoice (see clause 14.5). We will not charge you for the digital content during the period for which it is suspended. As well as suspending the digital content we can also charge you interest on the overdue payment (see clause 14.4).

8     Your rights to end the contract between you and us

8.1       You can always end your contract with us. Your rights when you end the contract will depend on whether there is anything wrong with the digital content we have supplied, how we are performing, when you decide to end the contract, and whether you are a consumer or business customer…

  • If the digital content is faulty or misdescribed you may have a legal right to end the contract, or to get the digital content replaced, or to get some or all of your money back – if you are a consumer see clause 12 and if you are a business see clause 13.
  • If you want to end the contract because of something we have done, or have told you we are going to do – see clause 8.2.
  • If you are a consumer and have just changed your mind about the digital content – see clause 8.3. You may be able to get a refund if you are within the cooling-off period, but this may be subject to deductions.
  • In all other cases where if we are not at fault and you are not a consumer exercising your right to change your mind – see clause 8.6.

8.2       Ending the contract because of something we have done or are going to do. If you are ending the contract because there is a risk that the supply of the digital content may be significantly delayed because of events outside our control, we have suspended or have notified you that we are going to suspend the supply of any digital content for technical reasons for a period of more than 7 days, or you have a legal right to end the contract because of something we have done wrong, the contract will end immediately and we will refund you in full for any digital content which has not been supplied, and you may also be entitled to compensation.

8.3       Exercising your right to change your mind if you are a consumer (Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013). If you are a consumer then for most digital content bought online you have a legal right to change your mind within 14 days and receive a refund. These rights, under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013, are explained in more detail in these terms.

8.4       When consumers do not have a right to change their minds. Your right as a consumer to change your mind does not apply after you have started to download the digital content we have supplied.

8.5       How long do consumers have to change their minds? You have 14 days after the day we email you to confirm that we accept your order, or if earlier until you start downloading the digital content we have supplied. If we delivered the digital content to you immediately, and you agreed to this when ordering, you will not have a right to change your mind.

8.6       Ending the contract where we are not at fault and there is no right to change your mind. Even if we are not at fault and you are not a consumer who has a right to change their mind (see clause 8.1), you can still end the contract before it is completed, but you may have to pay us compensation. A contract for digital content is completed when the digital content is downloaded and paid for. If you want to end a contract before it is completed where we are not at fault and you are not a consumer who has changed their mind, just contact us to let us know. The contract will end immediately and we will refund any sums paid by you for any digital content not supplied, but we may deduct from that refund (or if you have not made an advance payment then charge you) reasonable compensation for the net costs we will incur as a result of you ending the contract.

This includes liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence or the negligence of our employees, agents or subcontractors, for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or for breach of your legal rights in relation to the digital content as summarised at clause 12.1.

18.4     If a court finds part of the contract between you and us illegal, the rest will continue in force. Each of the paragraphs of these terms operates separately. If any court or relevant authority decides that any of them are unlawful, the remaining paragraphs will remain in full force and effect.

18.5     Even if we delay in enforcing the contract between you and us, we can still enforce it later. If we do not insist immediately that you do anything you are required to do under these terms, or if we delay in taking steps against you in respect of your breaking the contract, that will not mean that you do not have to do those things and it will not prevent us taking steps against you at a later date.

18.6     Which laws apply to the contract between you and us and where you may bring legal proceedings if you are a consumer? These terms are governed by English law, and you can bring legal proceedings in respect of the digital content in the English courts.
