7. Paid Subscription

Some services of CYH are paid subscription. Customers may purchase a paid subscription directly from CYH by paying the subscription fee plus applicable taxed in advance on a monthly basis, or as specified at the service in question.

Changes to the fee will take effect at the start of the subscription period following the communication of the changes to the fee. By continuing to use CYH services, customers agreed the changed fees. Customers can unsubscribe up to the end of the subscription period.

Tax rates are based on the rates applicable at the time of your monthly charge. Taxes are subject to changes. Any changes in tax will be applied on the account information customers provided.

The paid subscription is automatically renewed if the customer does not unsubscribe the paid subscription before the end of the subscription period. The customer can only unsubscribe with effect from the end of a subscription period. Unsubscribing is from the day of the new subscription period.

9. Cancellations and Returns
Right of withdrawal

A customer unsatisfied with the delivery can return the delivered products to CYH:

• within 14 days of receipt and with prior notice by email at contact@esteam-muusic.com.;

• in the original packaging;

• with no signs of use;

to the postal address ESTEAM MUSIC GmbH, Basel

The customer is responsible for the proper packaging of the returned goods and bears the costs for the return shipment. CYH does not accept packages sent per COD (Cash On Delivery) and the shipment must be distributed to the postal address of CYH. The customer is liable for any damage occurring during carriage.

Please note that it is not possible to exercise the right of cancellation by simply refusing receipt of the product or by failing to collect the product from the carrier.

A returned product must be returned in a good and undamaged condition. If a returned product is damaged or shows signs of use, other than what is required to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the product, the customer will be liable for any loss of value of such product. CYH will estimate any value by way of a specific assessment of the product returned.

If the conditions for cancellation set out above are met, CYH will reimburse the payment, solely in the amount of the purchase price paid, without undue delay, and, in all circumstances, by no later than 14 days from the day on which CYH received the customer’s notice to cancel the order. CYH reserves the right to withhold such reimbursement until we have received the product for inspection or until the customer has supplied evidence of having returned the product, whichever is the earliest.

Unless otherwise expressly stated, CYH will carry out the reimbursement by using the same means of payment as the one used by the customer for the initial transaction.

​

Exceptions to the Right of Cancellation

The right to cancellation does not exist regarding a purchase of a digital product, if CYH has fully performed its service (e.g. downloading of a certain product). The purchase of a digital product in form of a download cannot be cancelled once the customer has started to download the product by clicking the download link. By placing an order to purchase a digital product the customer acknowledges and agrees that they cannot cancel it and CYH can start delivering its digital product.

 

10. Damaged or Incorrectly Delivered Goods

If the shipped products are faulty, the customer can return the faulty product. This also applies to incorrect deliveries for which CYH is responsible. In both cases, the customer should inform CYH in advance of the return by email at contact@esteam-music.com.

In case of a complaint or an order not delivered, customers should contact Customer Service by email at contact@esteam-music.com When communicating with CYH (by any means, in particular by email), customers should state the order number. Failure to do so, may cause errors or delays.

If products are delivered with obvious damage to the packaging or content, the customer must immediately report it to the delivery agent and refuse acceptance, without prejudice to their rights to claim for defects. The customer is obliged to receive a damage confirmation report from the delivery agent. All delivery damages must additionally be reported immediately to CYH by email at contact@esteam-music.com.
