The Service may also include access to products and services of independent third parties. After payment, you will be permitted to download or send certain Products through the Service to compatible mobile phones and other compatible devices.

IN ORDER TO USE THE SERVICE YOU (1) MUST BE AT LEAST 16 YEARS OF AGE AND HAVE THE CONSENT OF THE SUBSCRIBER OF THE MOBILE SERVICE TO USE THE SERVICE ON THEIR BEHALF AND (2) AGREE ON BEHALF OF THE SUBSCRIBER AND YOURSELF TO BE BOUND BY THESE TERMS. You agree that each person who requests such Service is your agent with full authority to act on your behalf with respect to such Service. The contract is void where prohibited. In order to use the Service, you must also have a mobile communications subscription with a participating carrier or otherwise have access to a mobile communications network for which Sharpcards makes the Service available, and pay any service fees associated with any such access. In addition, you must provide all equipment and software necessary to connect to the Service, including, but not limited to, a mobile handset or other mobile access device that is in working order and suitable for use in connection with the Service. You are responsible for ensuring that your equipment and/or software do not disturb or interfere with Sharpcards' operations. Any equipment or software causing interference shall be immediately disconnected from the Service and Sharpcards shall have the right to immediately terminate this Agreement. If any upgrade in or to the Service requires changes in your equipment or software, you must effect these changes at your own expense. Unless explicitly stated otherwise, any new or additional features that augment or enhance the current Service, including the release of new products and services, shall be subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
(b) Contracts for our Service. SHARPCARDS is offering its Service as individual downloads or messages or as a bundle of credits for a defined number of individual downloads or messages. Unless otherwise expressly indicated, no information presented in the Service or in connection with any products and services shall be deemed as a binding offer by SHARPCARDS, but as an invitation for you to order. The contract is between you and SHARPCARDS and shall begin when SHARPCARDS, upon your request, has provided you with access to the Service (such access may be based on a personal username and password generated for that purpose or on other data that SHARPCARDS deems sufficient for your identification). Access to the Service can be provided by delivering to you downloadable mobile entertainment content of the content category you subscribed to (e.g. by delivering a mobile greeting via SMS) or by providing access to the mobile entertainment content (e.g. by enabling MSISDN for this product).
The provision of credits and the making available of the possibility to download, receive and/or access mobile entertainment content is offered for a flat fee. The number of credits for downloads shall be reduced by actual downloaded mobile entertainment content, in other words the download of mobile entertainment content is evaluated as redemption of one or more credits and thereby reduces the total number of downloadable mobile entertainment content you are entitled to download, receive and/or access. Credits can only be used to download mobile entertainment content offered by SHARPCARDS.
