11.2 Nothing in these Terms limits a statutory right of withdrawal where that right applies.

Digital Content

11.3 Digital Content that is not supplied on a physical medium is subject to specific legal rules.

11.4 Where a consumer:

11.5 SmusicX will not rely on the loss of the statutory right of withdrawal where the legally required consent or acknowledgement has not been obtained.
