2 The Website, Sellers and orders for Items

2.1 All Items available via the Website are offered and provided by the administrator(s) of the Website referred to as “Sellers”.

2.2 In respect of all Items:

2.2.1 the identity of the Seller(s) will be disclosed to Customers on the basket page of the Website;

2.2.2 the Customer is entering into a contract with the Seller which may contain terms in addition to those set out in this Agreement as set out on the Website;

2.2.3 the terms of this Agreement shall, to the extent relevant, be deemed to be included in any contract between the Customer and the Seller in relation to the sale, purchase and / or use of such Item, as though this Agreement were entered into between the Customer and the Seller (and to the extent of any conflict or inconsistency between this Agreement and any terms furnished by the Seller, this Agreement shall take precedence);

2.2.4 the Customer acknowledges and agrees that in respect of such Items Music Glue is acting only as a platform provider to facilitate the creation and performance of a contract between the Customer and the Seller;

2.2.5 Music Glue may provide certain administrative services in relation to the provision of such Items to you by the Seller, but is not the seller of such Items;

2.2.6 the details and description of Items as displayed on the Website are the responsibility of the Seller; and

2.2.7 queries and complaints are the responsibility of the Seller.

2.3 Each order by the Customer is an offer to buy the Items set out in such order. When you place an order, the Website will send you an email confirming receipt of the order (the “Order Acknowledgment”). The Order Acknowledgment is an acknowledgement that the Seller has received your order, and does not confirm acceptance by the Seller of your offer to buy the Item(s) ordered. Neither Music Glue nor any Seller (as the case may be and subject to clause 2.2) accepts the offer, and no contract in respect of such Item(s) is formed, until the Customer receives clear confirmation of the same either via the Website or via email. This will only happen when the Customer’s payment for the relevant Item has been accepted and cleared via the Payment Partner’s payment gateway. No order for any Item can be guaranteed until you receive such confirmation.

2.4 Where the Customer is directed to a Seller’s, Payment Partner’s or other third party’s website (“Linked Site”), the Customer acknowledges that such Linked Site is not under Music Glue’s control, and Music Glue is not responsible for and does not endorse the content of such Linked Site, including any information or materials contained on such Linked Site. The Customer will need to make their own independent judgement regarding their interaction with these Linked Sites.
