Copyright and disclaimer :
SafeandSound will make a copy of the original recording for the purposes of private
use under the 'fair use' provisions of copyright law. These copies are strictly for personal listening by the recording owner
and must not be redistributed or duplicated in any way and destroyed if the original is sold/destroyed. By using these services,
the user takes full responsibility for all copyright issues.
I strongly recommend sending precious recordings by Royal
Mail Special Delivery (check for pricing at you local post office or online at Royal Mail). The sender is soley responsible
for delivery and packing the recorded material with sufficient packing materials for safe delivery. Whilst every attempt is
made to ensure safe return delivery (by Special Delivery) and professional care is taken with all materials in my posession,
you use this service with the provisor that ultimately the sender assumes responsibility for the loss of any materials.
78's
should be packed with a sheet of corrugated cardboard
in between each disk as they are especially fragile, ensure
you
mark the package "Do Not Bend".
