Why does magnetic force only act on moving charges?

This is probably a very stupid question but i don't understand why the magnetic force only act on moving charges, when i have a permanent magnet and place another magnet inside its field they clearly act a forces onto one other with them both being stationary. Also I am clearly misunderstanding something please help.
