Terms & conditions

General

This is the northernmusiconline.co.uk website ("Website") which is owned by Darrell Priestley in partnership with Eileen Priestley trading as Northern Music Online with a  trading address of 7 Ropergate, Pontefract, West Yorkshire, WF8 1LL ("we", "us").
By purchasing any products (the "Product") and by using this Website you acknowledge that you are 18 years or over in age and you have read and you agree to be bound by and comply with these Terms and Conditions. Your statutory rights are not affected.
You should print a copy of these terms and conditions for your future reference.

Purchase of Product

The placing of a Product on our Website is an invitation to accept offers for such Product and is not an offer to sell at the listed price nor is it binding on us. We are under no obligation to accept your order (whether or not the order has been confirmed and the credit card been charged).
Please note that the Product details and / or specification as set out on the Website are subject to change without notice.

We will acknowledge by e-mail your order for a Product at the time you place your order.  Please note that this does not mean that your order has been accepted.  We will notify you within 2 days of such email whether we have accepted your order in whole or in part.  At the same time if we have accepted your order in whole or in part we will notify you of delivery dates.  For the avoidance of doubt, we will not be obliged to supply any Product which may have been part of your order but which we have not accepted to supply for whatever reason.

In the event a Product is listed at an incorrect price due to a typographical error, we will notify you of the correct price by e-mail and we will give you the choice of either purchasing the Product at the correct price or cancelling your order.  If you confirm you want the Product at the corrected price we will deliver the Product to you. If payment has been charged for the purchase and you cancel your order we will, on return of the Product (if the Product has been sent out) immediately issue a refund.
Any order (whether or not accepted) is subject to availability of the Product. If the Product becomes unavailable prior to delivery we will notify you and give you the choice of a refund or of purchasing an alternative Product.  For the avoidance of doubt, although we will always try to given an accurate figure for the delivery charge on the Product, where the delivery charge imposed by [Royal Mail] on the Product is greater than the value stated on the Website for delivery we reserve the right to consider this Product as unavailable and your order will be considered not accepted regardless of whether the Order has been confirmed and the credit or bank card has been charged.  In the event of such occurring we will notify you and give you the choice of cancelling the order or purchasing the Product for the same price as previously but subject to the increased delivery charge.

Buy Back

On  Products marked 'Buy-Back' on the Website we offer a Buy-Back scheme where we, subject to the terms of this clause 3, buy the Product back from you at a later date for a proportion of the original purchase price paid by you to us provided the Product is in the same condition as when initially supplied to you by us, subject to fair wear and tear which shall be determined by us in our sole discretion.  To be clear, the Buy-Back scheme shall not apply to all Products and shall only apply to those Products which the Website clearly states are part of the Buy-Back scheme.  The Website shall clearly set out the rates and time periods applicable for each individual Product which is part of the Buy-Back scheme.

In order to benefit from the Buy-Back scheme you must opt in by ticking the relevant box at the time of purchase of the relevant Product.  For the avoidance of doubt, where you opt in to the Buy-Back scheme for a particular Product you are not obliged to sell the Product back to us at any time and it will be at your option as to whether you do so. 
Please be aware that we shall not be obliged to buy any Product back off you after the set period of time as stated in the Buy-Back rates for each Product or where the Product is not in our sole discretion in the same condition as when originally supplied by us.
Cancellation of contract by you.

You may cancel the contract at any time up to and including the seventh working day after the day on which the Product is delivered to you by notifying us in writing by email or post at the addresses set out at the beginning of these Terms and Conditions.
If you cancel the contract you must return the Product to us at the address set out at the beginning of these Terms and Conditions at your own cost and risk.  If you cancel the contract and then you receive the Product you must not unpack it from its packaging but must immediately send it back to us.

In any event, you must return the Product to us within 14 days of receiving it and at your own cost and risk.

If you do not return the Product to us within 14 days we will contact you.  If we have to collect it from you we will deduct any costs we incur in recovering the Product from your payment to us prior to re-crediting your charge card.

Provided that we receive the Product in the condition it was in when delivered to you with the original Product packaging in reasonable condition given its purpose, then we will re-credit your charge card with the amount debited for your order for the Product in question as soon as possible and, in any event, within 30 days of receipt of the Product.  For the avoidance of doubt, you shall be responsible for ensuring that the Product and original packaging is returned to us in the stated condition and if any additional packaging is required in order to do this then you shall be responsible for obtaining and the cost of such.

Until you return the Product to us you must keep it in your possession and take reasonable care of it.

Please be aware that you will not be entitled to cancel the contract for the supply of any of the following:

a Product which has been changed, altered, adjusted or personalised in any way whether by us pursuant to your request or instruction, by you or by a third party regardless of whether such change to the Product occurs before or after delivery;
a Product made to your specification;
a Product obtained by us especially for you so as to meet a specific item request and/or specification made by you;
a Product which cannot be returned by reason of its very nature, for example for reasons of personal hygiene such as ear plugs, unless such Product is still in its original sealed packaging and neither the Product nor the packaging has been used or tampered with; or
a Product which is liable to deteriorate or expire rapidly.

For the avoidance of doubt, such Products shall be marked 'non-returnable' on the Website.

Defective Goods/Returns

If the Product delivered is defective, not what you ordered, or damaged on delivery please notify us straight away and in any event within 7 days of delivery and we will arrange for the Product to be collected.

You should keep your delivery note. We will repair, replace or refund you for the price paid for any Product which is found to be incorrect or damaged or defective on delivery for a period of 3 months after delivery.

If you opt to exchange the Product, any additional payments must be included with the returned Product.  A replacement Product will not be despatched until such payment has been received.

Risk in the Product passes to you when the Product is signed for at the delivery address stipulated in your order. We accept no responsibility for any damage or loss to the Product after risk passes.

Ownership of the Product will only pass to you when we receive full payment of all sums due in respect of the Product, including delivery charges.
