Sheet music purchased through the Website is delivered digitally in PDF format and is licensed for personal use unless the applicable product description expressly provides otherwise.

Purchasing sheet music does not automatically grant permission to commercially reproduce, redistribute, resell, publish, record, synchronize, publicly perform, or otherwise commercially exploit the underlying composition.

Because sheet music is provided as a digital PDF product, purchases are non-refundable once the PDF file or access to the file has been provided, except where otherwise required by applicable law. Please review the Return and Refund Policyfor additional information.

Any rights not expressly granted are reserved.

6. Product Descriptions

Reasonable efforts are made to accurately describe and display products offered through the Website.

Colors and physical appearance may vary slightly depending on your device, display settings, manufacturing process, printing process, or other factors.

Physical products such as books and CDs may occasionally have minor manufacturing variations that do not materially affect their intended use.

If a material error in a product description or price is discovered after an order is placed, the purchaser may be contacted regarding available options, including cancellation and refund where appropriate and in accordance with the Return and Refund Policy.

7. Shipping and Delivery

Shipping options, costs, and estimated delivery information, where applicable, will be provided through the Website or during checkout.
