Terms of Service 

OVERVIEW

Welcome to Tatsuhiro Miyazawa (“we”, “us”, “our”). We operate this store to provide customers worldwide with access to original digital sheet music and related services (“Services”). Our store is powered by Shopify.

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your use of the Services.
 By accessing or using the Services, you agree to these Terms and our Privacy Policy [LINK].
 If you do not agree, you must discontinue use of the Services.

Because our Services are available in multiple countries, mandatory consumer protection laws in your country of residence override any conflicting terms herein.

 

 

1. ELIGIBILITY AND ACCOUNT

You must be of legal age in your jurisdiction. You are responsible for any activity conducted through your account. All provided information must be accurate.

 

 

2. DIGITAL PRODUCTS

Our products consist of original musical compositions and digital sheet music (PDF files).
 Variations in appearance may occur depending on device settings.

Your statutory rights regarding defective or misdescribed digital content (EU/UK/AU/NZ/CA/US) remain unaffected.

 

 

3. ORDERS AND DIGITAL DOWNLOADS

Placing an order constitutes an offer to purchase. We may accept or decline any order.

EU/UK Digital Content Directive Notice

Digital products are delivered immediately.
 To access downloads, EU/UK customers must:

  1. expressly consent to immediate download, and

Without such consent, downloads will be blocked until the withdrawal period expires.

Refunds are handled according to our Refund Policy [LINK].

 Email or network delays are outside our control, but statutory non-performance rights remain.

 

 

6. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

All sheet music, musical compositions, audio, text, images, and associated content are owned exclusively by us and protected by copyright.

Purchases grant you a personal, non-transferable license solely for private use.

This prohibition applies to both commercial and non-commercial uses.

For EU/UK residents, this clause constitutes an explicit opt-out under Directive (EU) 2019/790 and the UK Copyright and Related Rights Regulations regarding TDM exceptions.

You may freely perform the purchased sheet music for private, personal, non-public purposes, including practice and private enjoyment within a household.
