1. Eligibility

The Layaway Program is available for eligible instruments priced at USD $5,000 or above.

 

Layaway is limited to one instrument per customer at a time.

 

All layaway arrangements must be  confirmed by Pure Effect Music.

 

The agreed purchase price and payment schedule will be confirmed when the layaway arrangement is established.

​

2. Initial Deposit

A 25% deposit of the agreed  purchase price is required to initiate a layaway arrangement.

​

The deposit secures the instrument and removes it from active listings whilst the layaway agreement remains in good standing.

​

The deposit is non-refundable.

​

The remaining 75% of the purchase price must be paid within the applicable payment period.

​

The layaway arrangement begins once the deposit has been received and cleared and the arrangement has been confirmed in writing by Pure Effect Music.

​

3. Payment Schedule

Customers have 90 days from the commencement of the layaway arrangement to pay the outstanding balance in full.

​

Payments may be made according to an agreed schedule, including:

• Weekly instalments

• Bi-weekly instalments

• Monthly instalments

• Larger or lump-sum payments

​

The payment schedule will be agreed when the layaway arrangement is confirmed.

​

All payments must be received and cleared within the applicable payment period. Customers are welcome to pay off the outstanding balance earlier without an additional payment-processing surcharge.

​

4. Extension of the Payment Period

If additional time is required, a one-time 30-day extension may be requested prior to the original 90-day payment period expires.

​

The extension is subject to approval in writing by Pure Effect Music.

​

An extension fee of 5% of the outstanding balance at the time the extension is approved applies.

​

The extension fee is additional to the remaining purchase balance.

​

The revised deadline will be confirmed in writing by Pure Effect Music.

​

The extension is not automatic. Customers should contact Pure Effect Music as early as possible if they do not anticipate meeting the original payment deadline.

​

5. Cancellations & Missed Payments

If a customer cancels a layaway arrangement or fails to complete payment by the agreed deadline, including any approved extension:

​

The 25% deposit will be forfeited.

​

Any additional payments received beyond the deposit will be refunded.

​

The instrument may be returned to active inventory and offered for sale to other customers.

​

6. Accepted Payment Methods & Processing Fees

Pure Effect Music accepts the following payment methods for layaway deposits and instalment payments:

• Bank Wire Transfer

• PayPal

​

These are the payment methods accepted for standard purchases as described in our Payment, Shipping & Returns Information Page.

​

​

Payments must be received and cleared within the agreed payment period. Customers requiring payment instructions or assistance should contact us directly.

​

7. Shipping & Delivery

The instrument will be dispatched once the full purchase price has been received and cleared and any necessary shipping or export documentation requirements have been satisfied.

​

Free worldwide shipping is included, subject to the destination, carrier availability and any specific arrangements confirmed for the order.

​

International shipments are arranged using DHL Express or FedEx International subject to availability and destination requirements.

​

​

​

8. Returns, Damage & Material Misdescription

​

Ensuring that all payments are made using an accepted payment method and are received by the agreed deadlines.

​
