Changes to the site are normally undertaken around the 1st of each month, but this is subject ot pressure of work and no guarantee is given that changes will take place on schedule. Submissions will be held until the next change unless specifically requested by the customer. An additional charge may be applicable. Please see also below regarding right to cancel.

All content must be within the provisions of English Law (with special regard to copyright laws).

The operators of MusicInEssex.info are the final arbiters of what may be included and may refuse or remove content in contravention of these conditions. In these circumstances, prepaid charges are not refundable.

Payment is due on receipt of invoice. Receipt by us of an effective cheque by first class post within 5 postal working days of the date of the invoice (when the invoice is delivered electronically or by first class mail) or within 7 postal working days (when the invoice is despatched by 2nd class post) is considered reasonable and adequate. In the case of non-payment by the due date, the owners of MusicInEssex.info reserve the right to send reminder letters. The client will be charged £25 + VAT for each reminder letter.

In addition any contracted-for services will be suspended wihtout refund until such time as the debt has been made good.

MusicInEssex.info is a not-for-profit organisation and payments made for services are purely to help offset the costs invovled in running the site. Therefore should for any reason the site close or otherwise be unable to deliver paid services, no refund of prepaid monies can be made. The price levels are deliberately set low in order to reflect this aspect of risk sharing.
Where the transaction takes place over the Internet or telephone, the customer has seven days in which to cancel. During this period, the order will not be progressed unless expressly requested by the customer; such action to be interpreted as waiving their right to the seven day cancellation period. Should an order be cancelled after expenditure has been incurred and/or work done on the client's behalf, then such sum relative to that will be payable by client according to the current price list.
