Alan McGeoch Violin Maker:
Terms and Conditions
To buy
Terms of sale are 30 days net: after payment of a 10% deposit, there is a ten day approval period, following which payment of the balance in full is required within a further 20 days. Or, if you do not wish to go ahead with the purchase, the instrument and any other goods with it on approval (eg case) are to be returned in the original condition to Alan McGeoch or his agent. Please note: two forms of identification may be required before an instrument is issued on approval (photo ID and one other).To order
After discussing and agreeing your requirements with me, a 5% deposit secures your place on the waiting list at a fixed purchase price. When work starts on making your instrument, a further 20% is payable to cover material costs. The instrument is then due for completion, including varnishing and testing usually within six months, cellos eight months. On delivery or collection there is a trial period of one week. Full payment of the balance is due within 30 days from date of taking delivery. In the unlikely event of you deciding not to proceed with the purchase, the deposit will be refunded. As the instrument is being made, I am very happy for you to follow its progress.
Please note that wood, as a natural, non-uniform material, will always show some variation in appearance and tonal qualities. Likewise, exact colour rendition of existing instruments or pictures of them is not possible.
Until full payment is received, the goods remain the property of Alan McGeoch. You are wholly responsible for the safety and security of goods on approval. Three year guarantee against defects in workmanship; free six month adjustment and free check–ups thereafter for first owner by agreement, provided the instrument has not been opened or modified in any way.
Please note that prices are subject to change, but not after a contract has been agreed.
Privacy Statement
What is GDPR?
From May 25, 2018 a new data protection law, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), takes effect. The GDPR gives individuals in the EU (including UK even after Brexit) more control over how their data is used and places certain obligations on businesses that process information of those individuals. I’ve created my Privacy Policy to take into account the new legal requirements of the GDPR in as simple a way as I can.
What is 'data'?
For my business, that means primarily your name and contact details.
How is your data used by me?
By law, I am allowed to use your data only if I have a proper reason to do so, such as:
I keep your name and contact details only for as long as they remain relevant or ‘current’. After that time, I dispose of them (securely). They are never shared with a third party.
Your rights
GDPR is specific on this, and among other things, you have the right to decide whether I keep and use your data or not. Should you wish to remove any details you have provided, simply contact me to say so.
