products you have ordered. Please note that this email is not an order
confirmation or order acceptance from Staffords on Stage.

if your payment has been processed immediately, unless we have
notified you that we do not accept your order or you have cancelled your

express the price exclusive of VAT, but we shall show VAT separately
and include it in the total price if applicable.

and other relevant charges, the appropriate rates are set out in our
specified pricing structure shown elsewhere on this website.
3.3 Our prices are reviewed daily and while we try to ensure that all
prices on our website are accurate, errors may occur. If we discover an
error in the price of goods you have ordered we will inform you as soon
as possible and give you the option of reconfirming your order at the
correct price or cancelling it. If we are unable to contact you we will
treat the order as cancelled. If you cancel and you have already paid
for the goods, you will receive a full refund.4.1 Staffords takes payment immediately and all goods are subject to
availability. In the event that we are unable to supply a product, we
will inform you of this as soon as possible.4.2 In the interests of preventing fraudulent use of credit, debit
and charge cards, Staffords will validate the names, addresses and other
information supplied during the order process against commercially
available records (e.g Electoral Roll data, Credit Reference Services). A
third party may also be instructed to complete these checks. By
ordering from this website you consent to such checks being made. Any
information given may be disclosed to a registered Credit Reference
Agency which may keep a record of the information. All information
provided by you will be treated securely and strictly in accordance with
the Data Protection Act 1998.

prices in Euros or US Dollars instead of UK Pounds; you will still be
charged and invoiced in UK Pounds sterling as we do not accept foreign
currency. At the point of payment, your card issuing bank will convert
the amount paid in UK pounds to your local currency using their current
exchange rate. Please bear in mind our currency calculator display is a
guide and that your bank exchange rate may be different to our online
display and will reflect on your card statement.

CANCELLATION AND RETURNS POLICY
6.1 All goods and services are sold in accordance with The Consumer
Protection (Distance Selling) Regulations 2000 (SI 2000 No.2334). This
regulation essentially ensures that the consumer is given clear
information about the goods and services the supplier
is offering, is provided with an order confirmation via email and has
a cancellation period of 30 days from the day after the date of
delivery – during which time the consumer may cancel the contract by
notifying the supplier of their request to cancel either in writing or
by email.
6.2 If you wish to cancel your order during the cancellation period
set out in clause 6.1, please notify us in writing by letter or by
email. A telephone call is not sufficient and will not be acted on or
accepted as an official cancellation.
6.3 Once you have notified us that you wish to cancel the contract
within the cancellation period, either before or after you have received
the goods, you should return the goods to us within a reasonable time period and take reasonable care in doing so. Any returns sent using a third party should be insured for the full value and tracked. You should provide details of this tracking information to us on the day the goods are collected from you. The risk and cost of
returning the goods to us at our UK address, shall be borne by you. If
you fail to return the goods to us within 15 days following the end of
your cancellation period, we will not accept the cancellation of the
contract, nor will we refund any moneys paid.
6.4 Upon receipt of the returned goods we will credit your account
with a refund of the money paid to us, excluding the cost of delivery of
the goods to you, the collection of the goods from you and less a 25%
administration and re stocking fee. This will be refunded to you not
later than 30 days after receipt of the returned goods.
6.5 Goods should be returned and re-packed in the original packaging
as received complete ‘AS SOLD’ and in ‘AS NEW’ condition (for example,
if the packaging has been opened to examine the product/s you must have
done so without damaging the packaging or the product/s in any way). If
we receive the goods and packaging back in a damaged state we reserve
the right to deduct the cost of repair or replacement from any refund.
6.6 You have a duty to take reasonable care of the products while in
your possession and during the cancellation period to maintain them in
the condition in which they were supplied by us. If goods are damaged or
your use of the goods has gone beyond your right to reasonably inspect
and assess the goods, Staffords reserve the right to seek recompense.
6.7 The rights to return the goods to us as referred to in clause 6.3 will not apply in the following circumstances: –
6.7.1 in the case of copyrighted goods (all software, media and
sample CDs) where the packaging has been unsealed and/or the product has
been registered
6.7.2 for Health and Safety reasons to products such as microphones, headphones, earphones, in-ear monitoring
devices that have been used or where the hygienic seal has been removed or broken and
6.7.3 to any products that we have made to your specification or customized specifically for you 6.8 If a fault with the quality of the product and its components
should occur with your product outside the cancellation period and
within the 12 month manufacturers’ warranty period, we will repair it
free of charge. The risk and cost of returning the goods to us at our UK
address and the subsequent re delivery of the goods back to you after
repair shall be borne by you.
6.9 Should any fault be caused by excessive wear and tear of the
product (and the opinion of a representative from Staffords will be
final) we will reserve the right to provide a quotation for repair. Any
cost will need to be paid for in advance of any repair.
