Terms & Conditions

SOS MusicTools is a service provided by the SOS Publications Group, publishers of Sound On Sound print magazine and Digital App magazine for use with Tablet and Smartphone devices.

Key Points

SOS MusicTools operates as a reseller of third-party software products from leading brands. The software download fulfilment is provided by Music Marketing Inc, Toronto, Canada via their XCHANGE Market Platform.
SOS MusicTools does not have expertise or detailed knowledge of the products we sell and you should visit the manufacturer’s website for specific answers to your questions and product support.
SOS MusicTools support is limited to helping with the purchasing process if there’s a problem with the product download fulfilment.
Items you purchase are usually available for instant download following the successful completion of your order with a valid payment method.

No Refunds

As you are purchasing a digital download software product we can only make a refund in exceptional circumstances. It is your responsibility to check that your computer is compatible with the software version you are buying. The computer operating system version and minimum hardware specification is included on each product description page and is clearly stated.

Many products have a demo/ trial version which we recommend you try before you buy, to confirm the software is compatible with your system.

Under the EC Distance Selling Directive, you have the right to cancel the contract for your purchase within 14 days of delivery. You do not need to give us any reason for cancelling your contract, nor will you have to pay any penalty. You cannot cancel your contract if the goods you have ordered have been downloaded, activated or authorised on your computer. If you have downloaded, activated or authorised the product within the 14 day period, you waive your right to a refund.

If you wish to apply for a refund please email us with your order number details and a full description of the reason why to: support@sosmusictools.com

Short Notice Special Promotions & Flash Sales

From time to time, we may run heavily discounted offers on a short-term basis. If you have purchased one of these products prior to the sale period we can not refund the difference in price. These discounts are offered to us and controlled by the manufacturer and as such we have no right to make refunds.
