2. Eligibility to Use This Website
You must be at least 18 years old to make purchases, bookings or paid registrations through this website.
If you are under 18, you may only use this website and make purchases with the involvement and permission of a parent or guardian.
By placing an order or booking, you confirm that the information you provide is accurate, complete and current.
3. Products and Services
We make reasonable efforts to describe all products, downloads, tickets, performances, courses and workshops accurately.
However, images, audio samples, descriptions, event details, course outlines, availability and prices may occasionally contain errors or need to be updated.
We reserve the right to correct errors, update information, change availability, withdraw products or services, or cancel orders where necessary.
4. Pricing and Payment
All prices are shown in euro (€) unless otherwise stated.
Prices may include or exclude VAT depending on the tax status of Maria Butterly. Where VAT applies, this will be handled in accordance with Irish tax requirements and shown where required.
Payment must be made using the payment methods available at checkout. Orders, bookings and registrations are not confirmed until payment has been successfully received, unless we agree otherwise in writing.
We may use third-party payment processors such as Stripe, PayPal, WooPayments or other providers. Your payment details are handled by the relevant payment processor and are subject to that provider’s own terms and privacy policy.
5. Physical CDs
Physical CDs are sold subject to availability.
Once your order is accepted, we will arrange delivery to the address provided at checkout.
You are responsible for ensuring that your delivery address is correct. We are not responsible for failed or delayed delivery caused by incorrect or incomplete address details supplied by you.
Estimated delivery times are not guaranteed unless expressly stated.
Your rights to cancel, return or request a refund for physical CDs are set out in our Refund and Returns Policy. Consumers buying online in Ireland generally have a 14-day cooling-off period for many online purchases, although there are exceptions, including sealed CDs once opened.
6. Downloadable MP3 Music
MP3 music files sold through this website are digital content.
When purchasing MP3 downloads, you may be asked to consent to immediate access to the digital content and to acknowledge that you lose your right to cancel once the download or digital supply begins.
You may not copy, share, upload, distribute, resell, license, broadcast, commercially exploit or otherwise make the MP3 files available to others unless we give you written permission.
Your purchase gives you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to download and listen to the music for personal use only.
If a digital file is faulty, inaccessible, corrupted or not as described, please contact us. Irish consumer law requires digital content and digital services to conform to the contract, and where they do not, the trader must resolve issues at no cost, within a reasonable time and without significant inconvenience.
7. Concert Tickets
Concert tickets may be sold directly through this website or through a third-party ticketing provider.
Tickets are usually issued for a specific date, time, venue and performance. Please check all event details carefully before booking.
Unless otherwise stated:
- Tickets are non-refundable for change of mind.
- Tickets may not be resold commercially.
- Entry may be subject to venue rules, age restrictions, accessibility rules, safety policies and local regulations.
- Late admission may not be possible.
- The venue or organiser may refuse admission where reasonably necessary, including for safety, security or inappropriate conduct.
The normal 14-day cooling-off period does not generally apply to tickets for dated leisure events such as concerts, performances and similar events. This is reflected in Irish consumer guidance on online purchases and event tickets.
If an event is cancelled or rescheduled, your rights and options will be explained in accordance with applicable law and our Refund and Returns Policy.
8. Performance Bookings
Performance bookings may include live music appearances, private events, session work, commissioned performances, corporate events, weddings, festivals or other engagements.
A performance booking is not confirmed until we have accepted the booking in writing and any required deposit or payment has been received.
Performance bookings may be subject to a separate written agreement covering:
- Date, time and location.
- Performance duration.
- Fee and deposit.
- Travel, accommodation and expenses.
- Technical requirements.
- Cancellation terms.
- Weather or outdoor performance arrangements.
- Sound, equipment, access and safety requirements.
- Recording, filming and publicity permissions.
Where there is a conflict between these Terms and a signed performance agreement, the signed performance agreement will take priority for that booking.
We reserve the right to refuse or cancel a performance booking where the event is unsafe, unlawful, discriminatory, abusive, reputationally harmful, technically unsuitable, or otherwise inappropriate.
9. Courses and Workshops
Courses and workshops may be offered online, in person, live, pre-recorded, one-to-one, group-based or as a combination of formats.
By registering for a course or workshop, you agree to:
- Attend at the scheduled time where applicable.
- Behave respectfully towards the tutor, artist, staff and other participants.
- Follow any health, safety, venue or online participation rules.
- Not record, copy or share course content unless expressly permitted.
- Not distribute course materials to non-participants.
We may change a course or workshop tutor, venue, schedule, format or content where reasonably necessary. If a material change affects your booking, we will explain your options.
Course and workshop materials are provided for your personal learning use only. They may not be copied, resold, uploaded, distributed, taught from, or used commercially without written permission.
Irish consumer law distinguishes between goods, digital content, digital services and services, with different remedies depending on what has been purchased.
10. Online Course Access and Digital Materials
Where a course or workshop includes digital materials, recordings, downloads, online access links, PDFs, videos or audio files, these are provided for your personal use only.
You must not:
- Share login details.
- Share private course links.
- Download or copy materials except where expressly allowed.
- Upload materials to public websites, social media, file-sharing platforms or AI training tools.
- Reproduce, teach, adapt or commercially exploit the materials.
Access periods, if any, will be stated on the relevant course page or booking confirmation.
We are not responsible for your inability to access online courses due to your own internet connection, device, software, email filtering, browser settings or failure to follow access instructions.
