Music download terms and conditions

Our music download terms and conditions provide a template for operators of music distribution and download sites to: (a) define buying procedures for customers; and (b) establish their own and customers' rights in relation to digital music purchases.

The template contains a licence for buyers to use the music files in certain permitted ways. These include copying to personal devices and backing up. The licence text specifically excludes a number of other uses, such as further distribution, altering the files, violating the law or competing with the seller.

The terms and conditions contain requirements for the customer not to remove copyright notices in the downloaded files as well as an express statement that the customer obtains no intellectual property rights other than those explicitly granted in the document.

Customers acknowledge that the music download files are supplied in a specific format or formats, and affirm that they have the software and equipment necessary to make use of the downloaded files.

The template helps operators to comply with UK law governing distance contracts, in particular by providing consumers with a right to cancel and receive a refund in appropriate cases.

The terms and conditions also include boilerplate contract clauses addressing, among other matters, limitations on liability, the warranties given by the parties, and the amendment and assignment of the contract.
