Terms & Conditions
Last updated: 9 November 2026
1. About us
Saxtet Publications is a trading name of Thomas Bruton, a sole trader based in the United Kingdom. Our address is 8 Manfield Way, Northampton, NN3 6NA, United Kingdom, and you can contact us at info@saxtetpublications.com.
These terms apply to your use of saxtetpublications.com (the “website”) and to every order you place with us. By placing an order you agree to them, so please read them before you buy. If you are buying as a consumer, nothing in these terms affects your statutory rights.
2. What we sell
We sell sheet music as PDF downloads, audio as MP3 downloads, and a small number of CDs. Printed (hard copy) editions of our music are sold by June Emerson Wind Music, not through this website, and are covered by their terms.
We take care to describe each product accurately, including its instrumentation, difficulty and a sample page where available. Please check these details, and the sample score, before you buy.
3. Prices and payment
Prices are shown in pounds sterling (GBP). If you choose to view prices in another currency, the amount is converted for convenience and the amount you pay is the one shown at checkout. Prices include any taxes we are required to charge. Postage for CDs is shown at checkout before you pay.
We accept payment by card through Stripe and by PayPal. Payment is taken when you place your order. If a price on the website is clearly wrong, we may cancel the order and refund you in full.
4. Your order
When you place an order you will receive an email confirming it. The contract between us is formed when we send that confirmation. We may decline or cancel an order, for example if a product is no longer available, in which case we will refund you in full.
5. Digital downloads
Once your payment has been processed, your downloads are available from your account on the website and in your order confirmation email. Each download link is valid for 90 days of purchase. Please save your files somewhere safe. If you lose a file or a part, email us and we will do our best to help.
6. Licence to use our music
All music, recordings and other content on the website are protected by copyright, which belongs to Saxtet Publications or to the composers and arrangers we publish. When you buy a digital product, we grant you a personal, non-transferable licence to download it and use it for your own study, rehearsal and performance.
For sheet music, this means you may print the copies you need for yourself and for the members of your own group who are performing the work. You must not:
- share, sell, lend or give the files or printed copies to anyone outside your group;
- upload the files to any website, file-sharing service or shared drive that others can access;
- change, arrange or adapt the music, or remove any copyright notice from it.
Buying music does not give you a licence to record, broadcast or publish it. Public performances should be reported to the venue or to PRS for Music in the usual way. If you need a licence for any other use, please contact us.
7. Your right to cancel and refunds
Our Returns Policy forms part of these terms and explains how to return a product and request a refund.
Digital downloads. Under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 you normally have 14 days to cancel an online order. For digital content, that right ends once you start downloading it. By placing an order for a digital product, you ask us to make it available straight away and you agree that you lose your right to cancel once you begin the download. If you have not yet downloaded the product, you may request a refund within 7 days of purchase, as described in our Returns Policy.
CDs. You may cancel and return a CD within 30 days of delivery. For copyright reasons, a CD can only be returned if its shrink-wrap is intact. You are responsible for the cost of returning it to us unless it is faulty.
Faulty products. If a download is faulty or not as described, or a CD arrives damaged, please email us. Your rights under the Consumer Rights Act 2015 include a repair, a replacement or a refund, and these are not affected by anything in these terms.
8. Delivery of CDs
We post CDs to the address you give at checkout. Delivery times are estimates. The risk in a CD passes to you when it is delivered.
9. Your account
You are responsible for keeping your account login details secure. Please let us know straight away if you think someone else has used your account.
10. Using the website
You may use the website for your own personal, non-commercial use. You must not copy or reuse its content, including text, images, sample scores and audio, without our written permission. We do our best to keep the website available and accurate, but we cannot guarantee that it will always be available or error-free.
The website may link to other websites. We are not responsible for their content.
11. Our liability
If we fail to keep to these terms, we are responsible for loss or damage you suffer that is a foreseeable result of our failure, up to the amount you paid for the product concerned. We are not responsible for loss or damage that was not foreseeable, or for any business losses. Nothing in these terms limits our liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for fraud, or for anything else that cannot be limited by law.
12. Your personal information
We only use your personal information as set out in our Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy.
13. Changes to these terms
We may update these terms from time to time. The terms that apply to your order are the ones shown on the website when you placed it.
14. Law and disputes
These terms are governed by the law of England and Wales, and the courts of England and Wales have jurisdiction over any dispute. If you live in Scotland or Northern Ireland, you may also bring proceedings in your local courts. If you have a complaint, please email us first and we will try to put things right.
