3. Applications for Products and Services
Prices, and details, of products and services (and any offers) posted online are subject to change without notice. All products and services are subject to availability and we give no guarantee in this regard.

6. VAT and other taxes
All prices are shown including VAT at the current applicable rate. Where VAT is applicable, it is shown in our website catalogues at UK rates even if you have registered as a non-UK customer.
Any orders sent outside the UK may be subject to duties and taxes levied by the import country.
7. Prices
We reserve the right to amend prices with no notice, however orders already placed for items in stock will be honoured.
8. Returns and Cancellation
Please call us before returning any goods.
If you change your mind, you must return the products to us (at your own risk and cost) within 14 days of notifying us of the cancellation of your order. Goods must be returned in their original packaging, undamaged and unused.
We will refund the full purchase price together with the standard delivery charge paid within 14 days of receiving the returned products. However, we reserve the right to make a fair and reasonable charge if either the goods or packaging are damaged in anyway, or the item shows signs of use.
If you chose to pay for enhanced delivery, we will only refund the cost of standard delivery. You must, however, take care of the products before you return them. We may reduce the amount we refund to you if you damage them or otherwise do something beyond what is reasonably necessary to examine them that reduces their resale value, i.e unwrap in the case of reeds. The cost of returning the goods to us will be at your cost.
If you do not pay for the cost of return then we may deduct the cost of retrieving the goods from any refund due to you in respect of the order. We recommend that you use a recorded delivery service for all returns.
You do not have the legal right to return any item we do not ordinarily stock and which has been bought in especially for you, unless it is faulty.
If the goods you receive are faulty please contact us immediately and return them to us in their original condition within 30 days and we will either repair or replace them, or refund the cost of the goods and the carriage to you.
If the goods you receive are not what you ordered, please return them to us in their original condition within 30 days and we will either replace them with the goods you ordered, or refund the cost of the goods and carriage to you.
If a refund is due to you it will be made expeditiously and within 10 days.
9. Non-delivery of goods
If your goods are not delivered to you within 7 days of the despatch date you must notify us immediately, otherwise we cannot accept responsibility for the lost goods. You will be notified of the despatch date by e-mail shortly after we send the goods.
10. Damage in transit
Any claim arising from damage in transit must be made to Michael Rath Brass Musical Instruments Ltd immediately upon receipt of the goods. When taking delivery of orders, please sign and write unchecked.
Goods seen to be damaged should be signed "Damaged in transit" and packaging materials should be preserved for inspection. Damaged goods must be reported immediately upon delivery otherwise John Packer Ltd cannot accept responsibility.
