All deliveries made outside this registered address are at the customer's risk. Claims for non-delivery will only be accepted to the registered card address.
All transaction information you enter is sent via our secure server to your own card issuer for authorisation and authentication. If the details do not match EXACTLY, they advise us to cancel the order.

EXPECTED DELIVERY TIMES

Orders are normally supplied directly from stock.  For any item not in stock we will try to obtain it and despatch it promptly, but there may be instances outside our control that may cause a delay (e.g. non-availability of product from UK suppliers, imported titles etc).



RETURNS

Defective Goods

In the unlikely event of a defect, goods will be exchanged. Please note: we only accept returns of items that have been opened if they are defective. Please see "To Returning an Item" below for details of how to return defective items to us. You must inform Guitarnotes of the fault in writing by email, letter or fax. Telephone notifications are not accepted. After we receive your fault notification, we will contact you with a returns reference.

Cancelling An Order

We do not accept returns on goods supplied correctly to order. Within seven days of  the day of delivery, the purchaser is entitled to notify the seller that he renounces the purchase. Opening of, or change to the security pack that seals the goods disqualifies the customer from renouncing the purchase. However, the goods supplied by Guitarnotes(CD, Video, Printed Music, Books etc) being directly reproducible media by means of CD or tape recorders, photocopiers, scanners etc denotes we cannot accept returns on goods supplied correctly to order.

For the purposes of this clause, a consumer shall be deemed not to have taken reasonable care of the Goods if such Goods are not returned to Guitarnotes packed in their original box, with all accessories, manuals etc intact, or if the Goods or the internal or external packaging is defaced or damaged in any way.
