Legal
Terms
What this site is, and who runs it — and what these terms do not yet cover.
These terms cover jwmusic.uk, the label's own site. Free to read, nothing sold here: it is a catalogue and a door for demos, and that is the whole of what these terms are about. The parts nobody has decided yet are named rather than filled in.
Who runs this site
- Registered name
- JW MUSIC LIMITED
- Company number
- 08646430
- Registered in England and Wales
- How to reach us
- The contact form. It is the address for everything on this page, including anything you think is wrong with it.
Words we use here
Three words below are used more narrowly than they would be in conversation. Each is defined once, and every later use of one is a link back to its definition — so a section you have arrived at from somebody else's link still tells you what it means without sending you to the top of the page to find out.
- The site means jwmusic.uk and the pages under it. It does not
mean the streaming services a
Listen on
link takes you to, and it does not mean the label's pages on anybody else's platform. - The label means JW MUSIC LIMITED, the company named above, and both of the imprints it releases under.
- A free download means a file the site offers you at no charge. A release that is one says so on its own page, and that page is where what it is for is stated — see below.
What this site is
The site is the label's catalogue and its front door. You can read about the releases and the artists on them, play the previews, hear the mixes, ask to be reminded when a record comes out, take a free download where one is offered, send a demo, and send us a message. All of it is free, and none of it needs an account: there is nothing on this site to sign in to.
Nothing is sold here. Where a record can be bought or streamed, the link takes you to the service that sells or streams it, and that purchase is between you and them — see below.
What is on it, and what you may do with it
The recordings, the artwork, the photographs and the words on the site belong to the label, or to the artists and photographers credited beside them. Publishing something here is not a licence to use it elsewhere, and a file being downloadable is not one either.
Where a release is a free download, what the file is for is written on that record's own page, and that page is the statement of it rather than this one. As it stands, a free download is free for personal listening and DJ use. Anything beyond that is a conversation rather than a clause, and it starts at the contact form.
Sending us something
Two forms on the site take something from you, and each is described where it lives rather than here.
What happens to a demo — who hears it, how long you wait, and how long the file is kept — is written on the demos page. That page is the statement of it. These terms add nothing on top of it and do not override it.
A message sent through the contact form reaches us as an email. What is kept, and for how long, belongs to the privacy notice rather than to this page — see below for where that has got to.
Links to other services
Every Listen on
link is a plain link out. The site embeds no
player from another service and loads nothing from one — no analytics script, no advertising
network, no font from somebody else's server, no CAPTCHA. The only other addresses your browser is asked to fetch anything from are
content.jwhive.com and stream.jwhive.com, which serve the sleeves and the audio and are both ours. They are
a different address; they are not a different party.
Once you follow a link out you are on somebody else's site, under their terms, and what is there is theirs rather than ours.
Your information
What is stored on your own device is listed on the cookies page. What reaches us, what is kept, and for how long is the privacy notice: what we hold, and for how long is the list, and what you can ask us to do is the part that is yours to act on.
This page does not summarise it, and did not summarise it while it was unwritten either. A summary written before the document would have been the version everybody read and nobody checked, and the two would have disagreed the moment the real one landed. It is linked from the footer of every page as well as from here, and the change is in the list at the foot of this one.
What these terms do not say
- Which country's law governs these terms, and whose courts would hear a dispute about them.
- What the label is, and is not, liable for.
- Whether anything on the site is warranted to be available, accurate or uninterrupted. It is a small label's website and it is not promised to be up.
- What follows if the site is used in a way it was not meant for.
- Refunds, cancellation and returns. Nothing is sold on the site, so there is nothing yet for them to apply to — that changes the day something is.
- How a complaint about these terms would be handled, and by whom.
Each of those is a decision rather than a form of words, and each goes into this page when it is taken — with its date, in the list below.
Changes to these terms
When this page changes, the date in the header changes with it and the change is written into the list below. A section keeps its address when its wording changes: the links here and the fragment in your browser's address bar are named after what a section is about rather than where it sits, so a clause somebody quoted in an email still resolves to the same clause after two more have been added above it.
- Your information said the privacy notice was being written and was not published yet. It is published, and that section links it rather than describing its absence. Nothing else changed.
- Version 2
- First published. Nothing was replaced: there was no terms page before this one.
- Version 1
This page describes the site as it stood on . Where it states a fact about how the site works, that fact is checkable against the site; where the label has not decided something, the section above says so rather than filling it in.
