Delivery & Refunds

How the files reach you, how to change your mind, and how the money comes back. Where the regulations lay the words down, they are reproduced rather than put in our own; where the words are ours, the note under them says so.

Who is speaking

Kroko Montage
Kroko Montage Limited, registered in England and Wales, company number 17457883, registered office 167-169 Great Portland Street, London, England, W1W 5PF. Written to at business@krokomontage.com.
You
Whoever is arranging for a recording to be edited, whether for yourself or for the organisation you work for.

What is handed over, and how

Kroko Montage

The edited episode as a WAV master and an MP3 made from that same master, named to your convention, together with marker points where the order includes them.

Everything in an order is a file. Nothing is sent by post, there is nothing physical to ship, and there is no delivery charge, because there is nothing to deliver in that sense. Files come attached to an email, or on a download link where they are too large to attach.

A link stays live for the period named in the email that carries it. If it lapses before you have the files, tell us and a fresh one is issued free of charge.

When it is due

Kroko Montage

The date is in the written quotation and repeated in the order confirmation. It is worked out from your recording rather than from a standard figure, and it runs from the point at which the material, the brief and any payment due up front are all with us.

Where we are waiting on something from you, the date moves by the time we waited, and we tell you the new one.

Consumer Rights Act 2015, section 52

Where no time has been agreed, a service must be performed within a reasonable time.

Kroko Montage

Every quotation settles a date before any work is done, so that section is a backstop here rather than the route an order takes.

If nothing arrives

You

The files were due and nothing has come.

Kroko Montage

Three steps, in this order.

  • Check the address we have been writing to, and whatever your mail filter has done with it.
  • Tell us at business@krokomontage.com, and we send it again, to another address if you would rather.
  • If it still has not reached you, set us a further reasonable period in writing. Where that passes as well, you may ask for a reduction in the price under section 56 of the Consumer Rights Act 2015, and where the failure is serious you may end the contract and have back everything paid for what was not supplied.

Paying, and in what currency

Kroko Montage

Prices are in pounds sterling (GBP). The quotation states one total figure, that figure includes any tax due on it, and nothing is added to it afterwards.

Payment is by bank transfer against an invoice, by card, or through PayPal, on the secure payment link the invoice carries. This website takes no payments and has no checkout: card details are entered on the payment provider's own page, are handled by that provider, and never reach us.

Changing your mind

Kroko Montage

If you ordered as a consumer, you have 14 days from the day the contract was made to cancel, without giving a reason. The contract is made when we send the order confirmation, so that is the day the period runs from.

Two things are worth knowing before the statutory wording below.

  • If you ask us to start inside those 14 days, you keep the right to cancel. What changes is that you pay a proportionate amount for the work done up to the moment you tell us.
  • If you ask for files to be handed over straight away and give the consent described further down, the right to cancel stops applying to those files once handover has begun.

Nothing else takes the right away. We never ask anybody to give it up as a condition of ordering, and a term that tried to would not bind you anyway.

Right to cancel

You have the right to cancel this contract within 14 days without giving any reason. The cancellation period will expire after 14 days from the day of the conclusion of the contract.

To exercise the right to cancel, you must inform us (Kroko Montage Limited, 167-169 Great Portland Street, London, England, W1W 5PF, business@krokomontage.com) of your decision to cancel this contract by a clear statement (e.g. a letter sent by post, fax or e-mail). You may use the attached model cancellation form, but it is not obligatory.

To meet the cancellation deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right to cancel before the cancellation period has expired.

Effects of cancellation

If you cancel this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).

We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days from the day on which we are informed about your decision to cancel this contract.

We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of the reimbursement.

If you requested to begin the performance of services during the cancellation period, you shall pay us an amount which is in proportion to what has been performed until you have communicated us your cancellation from this contract, in comparison with the full coverage of the contract.

Reproduced word for word from the model cancellation wording in Schedule 3 to the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013. The wording carries footnoted alternatives, and the ones taken here are the ones for a contract for services: the cancellation period runs from the conclusion of the contract, and our own details are inserted where the wording asks for the trader's. The limbs dealing with goods and with the return of goods are left out, because there is nothing physical in an order. The attached form it refers to is the one set out below on this page. Nothing else in it has been altered, including the abbreviations and the punctuation.

Files handed over straight away

Kroko Montage

Sometimes an episode is wanted before the 14 days are up. The regulations allow for that, and they allow for it in one particular way rather than by agreement in general terms.

Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013, regulation 37

The right to cancel is lost for digital content supplied within the cancellation period only where the consumer has given express prior consent to supply beginning, has acknowledged that the right will be lost, and has been given confirmation of that consent and that acknowledgement by the trader on a durable medium.

What that means for an order here

There is no checkout on this site to tick a box in, so all three things are done in writing. The order confirmation asks you, in as many words, to consent to handover beginning inside the 14 days and to acknowledge that the right to cancel will be lost for the files once it has. You reply, and we then send you confirmation of that consent and that acknowledgement by email, which is the durable medium the regulation asks for. We keep a copy, but the copy that matters is the one in your inbox.

Give that consent and we begin, and the 14-day right stops applying to the files handed over. Do not give it, and we do not begin handing files over until the 14 days have passed; you keep the right to cancel throughout, and the date in the quotation is set accordingly.

A consent that has not actually been given does not count, and we will not treat silence, an unanswered email or the placing of the order itself as one. If in doubt, we ask again.

Losing the right to cancel does not affect your rights if the files are faulty, not as described, or not fit for a purpose you made known to us before ordering. Those are set out further down and cannot be given up.

Our own wording, not the regulations'. Regulation 37 sets the conditions; this is our account of how we meet them, written to be read rather than quoted. Where it differs from the regulation, the regulation is what counts.

How to cancel

You

I am cancelling this contract.

Kroko Montage

That is all it takes, as long as it reaches us before the 14 days are up and it is a clear statement rather than a hint. There is nothing to fill in and no process to go through. The form below may be used and is not obligatory.

Write to business@krokomontage.com, or to Kroko Montage Limited at 167-169 Great Portland Street, London, England, W1W 5PF. We acknowledge a cancellation in writing on the day we see it, so you have a record that it arrived.

Model cancellation form

To Kroko Montage Limited, 167-169 Great Portland Street, London, England, W1W 5PF, business@krokomontage.com:

I/We [*] hereby give notice that I/We [*] cancel my/our [*] contract of sale of the following goods [*]/for the provision of the following service [*],

Ordered on [*]/received on [*],

Name of consumer(s),

Address of consumer(s),

Signature of consumer(s) (only if this form is notified on paper),

Date

[*] Delete as appropriate.

Reproduced word for word from Schedule 3 Part B to the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013, with our details inserted where it asks for the trader's. Completing and returning it is one way of cancelling and is not obligatory.

How the money comes back

Kroko Montage

Within 14 days of us being told you are cancelling, by the same means you paid by, unless you have expressly agreed to another. You are charged no fee for the refund itself, and there is no restocking charge, no administration charge and no deduction for having opened a file.

Two deductions can arise, and only these two.

  • Where you asked us to start inside the 14 days and then cancelled, you pay a proportionate amount for the work done up to the moment you told us.
  • Where you gave the consent described above and files had already been handed over, the right to cancel no longer applies to those files, so what comes back is whatever was paid for work not yet done.

There is no universal no-refund rule on this site, and there could not be: a term that took away a statutory right would not bind you.

If something is wrong with the files

Kroko Montage

This is separate from changing your mind. It has nothing to do with the 14 days, and it survives every consent described above.

Consumer Rights Act 2015

A service must be carried out with reasonable care and skill. Digital content must be of satisfactory quality, fit for a purpose made known to the trader, and as described.

Kroko Montage

The editing was not done properly
We do it again, at no charge. Where that is impossible, or is not done within a reasonable time and without significant inconvenience to you, you can require a reduction in the price, which may be the whole of it.
The files are faulty or not as described
We repair or replace them at no charge. Where that cannot be done, or is not done within a reasonable time, you can require a reduction in the price or, where the failure is serious, a refund.
Our work damaged something of yours
Where digital content we supplied damages your device or other content, and we did not use reasonable care and skill, we repair the damage or compensate you for it.

None of the above is limited by anything on the Terms of Service page, and we do not ask anybody to give any of it up.
