ELIGIBILITY AND PERSONAL INFORMATION

To place an order, you must supply us with some compulsory personal information. You warrant that the personal information which you are required to provide is true, accurate, current, and complete in all respects. You agree not to impersonate any other person or entity or use a false name or a name that you are not authorised to use. We shall use your personal information in accordance with our Privacy Notice: Netherlands EN.

You must be at least eighteen (18) years old to order goods on the Website and by placing an order you therefore warrant that you are at least eighteen (18) years old.

PRICES 

The prices for the goods are clearly displayed on the Website and can be shown in GBP or EUR. You can switch currencies using the currency selection drop-down in the top menu bar. EUR prices are derived from a base GBP price and may fluctuate daily based on the applicable foreign exchange rate.

If you choose to pay in a currency different from your local currency, please note that your bank or card issuer may charge a currency transaction fee.

All prices are inclusive of any VAT payable at the relevant prevailing rate in The Netherlands.

If delivery charges are applicable on the goods that you order, you will be informed before your order is accepted.

Prices and offers may vary from time to time and may only be available for limited periods. All prices and offers are subject to availability and may be withdrawn or amended at our discretion and at any time.

The prices for goods on the Website may differ to the prices for the same goods in any HMV stores or on other websites where we offer the goods for sale.

EU ORDERS AND IMPORT ONE-STOP SHOP (IOSS)

For orders delivered to EU Member States, we participate in the Import One-Stop Shop (IOSS) scheme. Under this scheme, we can collect and remit VAT on orders valued at EUR 150 or less (or equivalent if you are paying in GBP), excluding any delivery charges.

We do not accept orders for delivery into the EU where the value of goods exceeds EUR 150 (excluding delivery charges). This is to ensure compliance with the IOSS scheme and to avoid unexpected VAT, customs duties, or handling fees being charged to you on delivery.

If your basket exceeds the EUR 150 threshold, you will be unable to complete checkout with an EU delivery address.

PRICING ERRORS

Every effort is made to ensure that the prices shown on the Website are correct. In the unlikely event that an error is made in the price displayed, we will not be obliged to supply the goods to you at the incorrect price. In these circumstances, we will cancel the order and advise you via email that the order has been cancelled.

For the avoidance of doubt, if the pricing error is obvious and unmistakable and could easily have been recognised by you as a mispricing, we do not have to provide the goods to you at the incorrect price.

PRE-ORDER PRICING 

Where goods are offered for sale on the Website prior to general release, the price shown for those goods is subject to change.

If we reduce the price and you have paid in GBP, we will charge you the lower price. If we increase the price, we will charge you the price that was listed on the Website when you placed the order.

If we reduce the price and you have paid in EUR you will still be charged the original price quoted in EUR, as EUR orders are excluded from the pre-order price promise. If we increase the price, we will charge you the price that was listed on the Website when you placed the order.

In the unlikely event that an error is made in the price shown on the Website, we will not be obliged to supply the goods to you at the incorrect price. In such cases, we will cancel the order and notify you via email that the order has been cancelled.

If you have already paid for a pre-order in GBP and we subsequently reduce the price before the release date, we will refund the difference between the original price and the new lower price to the original method of payment.

PAYMENT

Payment for goods and any applicable delivery charges can be made using the following methods of payment; Visa, Mastercard, Maestro, American Express, Google Pay, and PayPal.

Timing

With respect to all payments made by PayPal, payment is processed by us at the point the order is confirmed by you. With respect to payments by any other method, payment is processed by us at the point the goods are prepared by us for dispatch, note however that we may prepare pre-orders for dispatch up to fourteen (14) days before the advertised release date on the Website.

Stored Credentials

Orders paid via credit or debit card shall be subject to a pre-authorisation. In the case of orders containing exclusively pre-order items, the pre-authorisation value will be zero, for orders containing a mixture of pre-order and non pre-order items, the pre-authorisation will be for the total value of the non-pre-order items only. The pre-authorisation will result in our payment provider supplying us with an anonymous payment token and essential details, known as a ‘stored credential’. You consent to the secure storage of the stored credential until such time that the entirety of the order is fulfilled or cancelled.

The stored credential will be stored securely, in compliance with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard, until the goods are ready for dispatch, and we will use the token to request full payment, or for each constituent part of the order as and when they are ready to be fulfilled. When the token is no longer required by us to fulfil the items in your order, we will deem your consent to store the token expired and we will remove it, but we will retain essential details such as the masked card number, card holder name, card type and card expiry date for our records.

You have the option to request that we securely save stored credentials within your registered account rather than removing them after full payment has been taken. Saving the stored credentials in your account streamlines the checkout for future orders by eliminating the need for repetitive entry of card details. You can request that stored credentials be removed from your account at any time unless you have selected to use that stored credential for payment for an order that has yet to be completely fulfilled or cancelled. Once the order has been fulfilled or cancelled you will be able to remove the stored credential from your account. In the case of removing the stored credential from your account we will retain essential details such as the masked card number, card holder name, card type and card expiry date against any order record that card was used for.

In the event that the card associated with a stored credential has expired or is no longer valid we will inform you via email that it will be, or was not, possible to collect payment using that card. If you are a registered user, you will have the option to update your card payment method through the designated "Your Account" section of the Website, provided that if the order contains more than one item, none of the order has already been dispatched. Please note that the functionality to amend card payment methods is exclusively available to registered users.

If we cannot take payment from you for any reason that is not a hard decline (e.g., failed security checks), after an attempt to take payment on three (3) consecutive days, or until a hard decline is received, whichever is soonest, we shall inform you as such and your original order will be cancelled and you will be requested to submit a new order with updated payment details or an alternative accepted payment method. If the order fails our security measures in relation to payment tendered, the order will be cancelled. We shall have no liability to you for any goods that we cannot subsequently supply (e.g., limited-edition goods) or if the dispatch of pre-release goods is delayed due to your methods of payment failing.

There may be occasions where PayPal is the only accepted method of payment, this will usually (but not exclusively) be for the purchase of e-tickets or for event entry bundles (e.g., a CD and an e-ticket). Where this applies, it will be clearly noted on the applicable page on the Website, and we will be unable to process payment via any other method.

PROMOTIONAL DISCOUNT CODES

We may on occasion offer promotional discount codes which will entitle the holder to a discount. Valid discount codes can only be used at the time of purchase and cannot be used retrospectively.

Discount codes can only be used on the Website and will be subject to the terms and conditions supplied with the discount codes.

PLACING AN ORDER

Once you have followed the ordering process on the Website and clicked ‘make payment’ you will have placed an order with us. You will receive an ‘order confirmation’ email detailing the goods you have ordered. Please note that this does not mean that your order has been accepted.

ACCEPTANCE OF YOUR ORDER

Completion of the online checkout process does not constitute acceptance by us of your offer to purchase goods. Acceptance only occurs when we confirm your order is being dispatched. Your order is an offer to buy goods from us. Until we confirm dispatch, nothing we say or do (including receiving payment) constitutes acceptance of that offer.

We reserve the right to cancel any order at our discretion and for any reason, even after a contract has been formed. If payment has already been taken, we will issue a full refund using the original payment method.

If a product has a maximum purchase limit per customer, we reserve the right to cancel orders that exceed these limits. If multiple accounts are created to bypass these restrictions, we may cancel all related orders.

CONTRACT CREATION AND CANCELLATION

A contract between you and us is formed only when you receive an ‘order dispatch’ email confirming that the goods have been dispatched. Until then, we are under no obligation to supply the goods.

If your order is dispatched in multiple packages, you will receive a separate dispatch confirmation for each. Each dispatch will constitute a separate contract of sale between you and us.

We reserve the right to cancel any order or contract at our discretion and for any reason, even after dispatch confirmation. In such cases, we will issue a full refund via the original payment method.

AVAILABILITY

If we are unable to supply you with the goods you have ordered for whatever reason, we will not process your order and will inform you of this via email. If you have already paid for the goods, we will refund you as soon as reasonably possible by way of refund to the original method of payment, including refund of any relevant refundable delivery cost charges. Our only liability to you in such cases will be the refund of any and all monies you have paid for the goods we cannot supply.

DELIVERY 

We shall arrange delivery of the goods to the delivery address in The Netherlands that you nominate when you place the order. Goods may be dispatched and arrive separately, with no additional postage charges incurred by you.

Delivery shall be made as soon as possible after your order is processed, but in any event, within twenty (20) days of us sending you an ‘order dispatch’ email.

Royal Mail International Tracked: Your order will be dispatched from the UK via Royal Mail and delivered by PostNL. For order tracking purposes, your details shall be shared with Royal Mail and PostNL in accordance with our Privacy Notice: Netherlands EN.

Royal Mail International Tracked Priority: Your order will be dispatched from the UK via Royal Mail and delivered by GLS. For order tracking purposes, your details shall be shared with Royal Mail and GLS in accordance with our Privacy Notice: Netherlands EN.

Missing Goods: Where the goods have not been received at the nominated delivery address following a period of twenty (20) days since the ‘order dispatch’ email has been sent by us and your account on the Website shows that the goods have been dispatched, you must promptly contact us to advise us of non-delivery. In any event, you must contact us no later than thirty (30) days from the date the ‘order dispatch’ email was sent, and your account was updated to show that the goods had been dispatched. We shall not be obliged to investigate any claims or process any refunds for non-delivery of goods reported to us after this timeframe.

RISK

Risk of loss and damage of the goods passes to you on the date and time when the goods are delivered to the nominated delivery address.

DELAY

Where the supply of goods is delayed or prevented for reasons beyond our control, we will be under no liability to you for such delay.

MULTIBUYS

Goods that are advertised on the Website as part of a multibuy promotion (e.g. 2 CDs for £10) shall each be dispatched as soon as they are available. If we are unable to supply any individual item(s) in the multibuy order within a reasonable time, the order for these item(s) shall be cancelled. If you have paid for the goods we cannot deliver, we shall refund you the value of the unavailable items to the original method of payment.

ORDER CANCELLATION

You may cancel your order at any time before it is processed by contacting us via our Help Centre. If the goods have not yet been dispatched and we have sufficient time to prevent dispatch, we will not process payment or dispatch the goods. If you cancel your order after dispatch, or if it’s too late for us to prevent dispatch, you can refuse delivery, and the goods will be returned to us. Provided the goods remain unopened and undamaged, we will refund the amount paid to the original payment method.

You may return goods to us for any reason within thirty (30) days of receiving or collecting them, provided they are in their original condition. With regards to physical media such as CDs, DVDs, Blu-ray, and video games, all seals must be intact.
