5. The Consumer Rights Act 2015

This UK law gives consumers protection when it comes to digital downloads that fail to work (are corrupt). Consumers (i.e. private individuals) are entitled to a repair or replacement if the digital content is faulty and even compensation if other downloads or devices are affected. 

The Consumer Rights Act defines digital content as ‘data which are produced and supplied in digital form’.  

Digital content must be:

    • of satisfactory quality

    • fit for purpose, and

    • as described by the seller

If the digital content you purchase does not meet these criteria and develops a fault, you have the right to have your digital product repaired or replaced.  

6. Cancelling a digital download

Under the Consumer Contracts Regulations, digital downloads are neither goods nor services, meaning the law is a little different. If you want to download something within 14 days of buying it (what is known as the ‘cooling-off’ period), you will have to give your consent to waive the 14-day cooling-off period. 

If you do not give your consent, the 14-day cooling-off period still applies, however, you will not be able to download your digital content until this period has ended. 

This is to stop you from changing your mind after you have downloaded the content.

7. Repair or replacement

If the digital download you purchased is faulty, The Zesty Bee is allowed one opportunity to replace the faulty digital content before you can claim a refund. 

You can choose whether you want the goods to be repaired or replaced, but The Zesty Bee can refuse if they can show that your choice is disproportionately expensive compared with the alternative. 

8. Full or partial refunds

You’re entitled to a full or partial refund instead of a repair or replacement if any of the following are true:

  • The cost of the repair or replacement is disproportionate to the value of the digital content
  • Repair or replacement is impossible
  • Repair or replacement would be significantly inconvenient
  • Repair would take unreasonably long
  • Repair has been unsuccessful.

If the attempt at a repair or replacement is unsuccessful, you can then claim a refund or a price reduction if you wish to keep the product.

If you don’t want a refund and still want your product repaired or replaced, you have the right to request that Tangles & Ties makes further attempts at a repair or replacement.

9. Compensation

If any device or other digital content you own is damaged as a result of the faulty digital content you’ve downloaded, The Zesty Bee must compensate you. 

This only applies where that damage wouldn’t have occurred had ‘reasonable care and skill’ been exercised in the provision of the digital content (even if that content was provided for free).

10. Refunds

If you placed an order by accident from The Zesty Bee, it is at The Zesty Bee’s discretion to allow a refund or exchange.

Typically any goods or services which are sold to consumers online, at a distance, or away from the trader’s premises, must allow for a minimum 14-day cooling-off period during which the contract can be cancelled (either 14 days from receipt of goods or from the date of entering into a contract for services). 

14 days is the minimum cooling-off period that a seller must give. 

For digital downloads, consumers will need to waive their cancellation rights before digital content can be provided. This means that once a consumer/customer has downloaded the content, then they have given up their consumer rights to a refund. 

When you purchase a digital download from The Zesty Bee, you will waive these cancellation rights.

11. Terms of Agreement

(a) This Agreement is effective until it is terminated. You can terminate this Agreement by destroying the Content, along with any copies or archives of it or accompanying materials (if applicable), and ceasing to use the Content for any purpose. The Agreement also terminates without notice from The Zesty Bee if at any time you fail to comply with any of it’s terms. Upon termination, you must immediately (i) cease using the Content and for any purpose; (ii) destroy or delete all copies and archives of the Content or accompanying materials; and (iii) if requested, confirm to The Zesty Bee in writing that you have complied with these requirements.

(b) The Zesty Bee reserves the right to elect at a later date to revoke or amend the license granted by this Agreement and replace the Content with an alternative for any reason. Upon notice, sent to the address or contact information provided by you, or such other address as you may advise us in writing to use, from time to time, of such replacement, the license for the replaced Content immediately terminates for any products that do not already exist, and this license automatically applies to the replacement Content. You agree not to use the replaced Content for future products and to take all reasonable steps to discontinue use of the replaced Content in products that already exist.

(c) Upon notice from The Zesty Bee, or upon your knowledge that any Content is subject to a threatened, potential or actual claim of infringement of another’s right for which Tangles & Ties may be liable, you must immediately and at your own expense (i) stop using the Content; (ii) delete or remove the Content from your devices, computer systems and storage (electronic or physical). The Zesty Bee shall provide you with replacement Content (which shall be determined by The Zesty Bee in its reasonable commercial judgment) free of charge, but subject to the other terms and conditions of this Agreement.

12. The Zesty Bee Representations and Warranties

THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE CONTENT IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE CONTENT PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU (AND NOT THE ZESTY BEE) ASSUME THE ENTIRE RISK AND COST OF ALL NECESSARY CORRECTIONS.

13. General Provisions
