Brake disks - Safe?

I just got a pair of new disks for the MB100 and went to fit them today. One disk was fine but the other has a chip out of it. It's about 4mm deep and within the swept area of the pad.

My feeling is that it's safe to use, though not ideal obviously. I bought them off a eBay retailer so returning/replacing them might be a pain, and I need to get them on during the new year break. I've already fitted one new disc, so I'm thinking just fitting new pads to the other side and waiting for a replacement might be an option?

Thoughts and opinons sought
