3. Online Purchases

   • Orders placed to purchase physical product via the website will be accepted and a contract for its delivery formed between you and us where:
     • You have selected a physical product (CD) which is available for delivery; and
     • You have entered payment details which have been verified by our third party online secure banking company, PayPal Limited; and
     • We have acknowledged, by delivery of an email to you, that your order has been successfully received and accepted by us. Delivery will then occur as per the delivery terms and conditions (see paragraph 4).
     • The contract is complete once the customer has received the physical product.
   • Orders placed in relation to the download of content will be accepted and a contract formed between you and us for it to be made available to download where:
     • You have selected content in the format appropriate to your needs and equipment having first checked the information provided about digital downloads;
     • You have entered payment details which have been verified by our third party online secure banking company, PayPal Limited; and
     • We have acknowledged, by delivery of an email to you, that your order has been successfully received and accepted by us.
     • Where content is made available to the user in the form of a download, notwithstanding the use of the word “purchase” or “buy” at any stage within the process, any transaction between us will take the form of a grant of a non-exclusive, revocable and non-assignable license to download and thereby have access to the content specified in the order. The license does not convey ownership or any property right or interest in the content but permission to download and use the content. This permission extends to the user only and is for the user’s personal and non-commercial use only.
     • Once the product has been delivered as per the delivery terms and conditions (see paragraph 4), the contract is complete.
   • All prices given are exclusive of delivery costs, where applicable.
   • Convivium Records Limited is not currently VAT registered so prices are not subject to VAT but may become so registered in future.

4. Delivery

   • Successful orders for non-downloadable items will be dispatched by first class mail (Air Mail for countries outside the UK) as soon as possible. This is generally within 1-3 working day unless your order includes a “pre-order” item in which case the items will be dispatched shortly before the relevant release date. We are not able to track these packages nor guarantee the speed of postal services or their susceptibility to industrial action. Orders over a certain weight will be shipped using a specialist courier such as UPS and these can be tracked. Transactions that include pre-orders will be dispatched on the date specified at the time of purchase (and in any case no more than 30 days in the future). Should circumstances make this impossible, we will contact you to agree an alternative dispatch date.
   • Successful orders for download content will result in the content being made available for download from a link provided by email upon confirmation of payment. The link allows 5 days from the day of delivery in which the download of audio material must be completed.

5. Returns, Cancellation & Complaints

   • • If you wish to cancel an order for a physical product (CD) you have the right to do so, providing you contact us within 14 days of receipt of the item and providing that the shrink-wrap or cellophane layer enclosing the item has not been damaged or otherwise unsealed. The cancellation period will expire 14 days after you have received the physical product. If you wish to exercise your right to cancel you must notify us of your decision to cancel this contract by a clear written statement (ie. by email or letter) to the address supplied below. You may, but are not obliged, to use the below model cancellation form, included at the end of this paragraph. To meet the cancellation deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right to cancel to the correct address before the cancellation period has expired. If cancellation is by post the letter must be sent by first class pre paid post or where relevant by first class airmail.
     • A refund will be made once the physical product has been returned and received by us, but only of the price paid by you for the item in question, including outward delivery charges, and not for the price of returning the item itself. We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied if the loss is the result of any damage caused by you. To return an item you are requested to enclose a note giving the reason for the return along with the Convivium Records Limited original invoice. You are responsible for packing the product securely and sending it to our address set out below. You are required to pay the actual cost of returning the product by first class pre paid post or by the airmail equivalent. We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than14 days after the date upon which we safely receive the returned product in question, or in the event that you have fully complied with these terms within 14 days running from the date upon which you provide evidence to our reasonable satisfaction that you have taken all reasonable and necessary steps to return the goods. We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless we have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, we will not charge you any fees as a result of the reimbursement.
   • Defective or Faulty CDs or Booklets
     • We will replace items if they are found to be defective or faulty within 14 days of receiving the faulty item from the Customer, subject to a time limit of 6 months from the date of purchase, but not after this time has expired. If you think a compact disc is faulty, we recommend that you try the disc on another CD player before you return it. To return a defective or faulty CDplease provide a full description of the fault and the Convivium Records Limited invoice giving details of the track number and time where the fault occurs and only return the actual defective part, for example, a faulty CD from a set. You do not have to return the jewel case or booklet. Package the faulty CD securely and send it to the address below following the same procedure for returning products referred to above in this paragraph. All defective or faulty discs will be checked for a defect before a replacement is sent.
     • If a booklet is faulty email us at admin@conviviumrecords.co.uk.
       When emailing us, please provide the catalogue number of the recording in question and a description of the problem and we will then be able to send you a replacement. Please remember to include your postal address in the email: it is surprising how many people forget to do this.

     • We regret that once content has been made available for download and the process of downloading that content has begun we are unable to accept a cancellation or provide a refund in relation to orders made in error.
