Terms of use

Please read the Terms of Use below. Your continued use of this website means that you accept and agree to these Terms of Use in their entirety. If you do not accept or agree to these Terms of Use, you may not use this website or download any of the materials on it.

Availability & Accessibility

This website (Sharp Smart, https://sharp.cheeseus.org) and its content are available on an as-is basis. It is hosted on paid servers located in the city of Sofia, Bulgaria, and in the USA, provided by a hosting company. While the hosting company guarantees 99% uptime, this website may, on rare occasions, be unavailable or inaccessible to visitors for reasons that are beyond the control of the website owner.

Reliability and Visitor Discretion

While every effort has been made to verify any and all information published here, actual circumstances may vary among users and devices. Where device parameters are supplied, the details have been taken directly from Sharp and/or the respective carrier's website. Where toolkits and applications enabling the modification of devices are discussed, the information comes from Japanese forum boards, blogs, etc. and has in some cases been personally tested by the owner of this website ("I", "me", or "Cheeseus"). Where visitors ("you") to this website decide to utilise any of the toolkits and/or applications and/or follow any of the instructions provided herein, they do so entirely at their own responsibility.

Limitations

Certain sections of this website are only available to registered and logged-in users. At the website owner's discretion, if abusive use of the website is detected, any registered account may be blocked or deleted, along with its associated IP address and email address. For practical reasons, including but not limited to server load and/or the generation of excessive website traffic, downloads may be limited on a daily or other basis, as the website owner deems appropriate.

Copyright

Whereas I, the website owner, do not own the device information, parameters and specifications mentioned here, you may freely use them as you wish. However, each article (device, toolkit, application description or 'howto') is personally written by me, and as such I hold the copyright to it. This means that you may not republish any of the articles in their entirety on any medium whatsoever without my prior written permission. Excerpts of my articles may be published in other media only if the author's name (Cheeseus) and website (Sharp Smart, https://sharp.cheeseus.org) are clearly visible next to the republished excerpt. Where I have used translated material from Japanese websites, forums and/or blogs, I have tried to include the original author's name and website address. If you are the original author of any such material and your name/address is not mentioned, please contact me and provide the information you would like displayed.

Ownership

The toolkits and/or applications available to download on this website have been created by Japanese authors. Information about them is available in the Readme file included in each downloadable package and may also be included in the article describing the toolkit and/or application. Whereas these toolkits and/or applications are freely available to download from their original locations, I cannot control their use and/or distribution. Where a toolkit and/or application has been localised (translated from Japanese into English) by myself and/or other people, I retain all distribution rights to the translation. This means that you are not allowed to make the localised toolkits and/or applications available on any other websites. Failure to comply may result in your being permanently blocked from accessing this website and the publication of your name and details in such a way as to denounce your disrespectful behaviour.

Privacy

The proper functioning of this website requires the collection of some personal details, particularly when registering an account, including your name, email address, IP address and coarse location. Google may collect other personal information in order to target its advertising. I shall make every attempt to protect your personal information, and I will never sell it to anyone under any circumstances. I may, however, have to divulge your personal information to third parties if required by law.

Cookies

This website uses cookies (small text files stored on your computer) which help identify you if you have registered and ticked the "Remember me" option. Third-party cookies are also stored on your computer by Google because I show Google advertisements. I am not in control of these cookies, and they depend entirely on your Google settings, not on this website. If you're not happy with the login cookie this website stores on your computer, don't register or don't click the "Remember me" option. If you're not happy with Google's cookies, that's not my problem, sorry.

Updates & Revisions

These Terms of Use may be updated from time to time. It is your responsibility to check periodically for any amendments or modifications. Your continued use of this website means that you unconditionally accept the Terms of Use in their entirety.
