Please read these Terms and Conditions carefully before purchasing a membership. By accessing the SHARP platform or purchasing a subscription, you agree to be bound by these terms. If you do not agree, do not use the service. These terms constitute a legally binding agreement between you and SHARP.
SHARP is an Australian sports analysis and information service operated from Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. SHARP provides subscribers with AFL betting research, multi-bet card analysis, post-round review content, and related sports analysis (collectively, the "Content") through its online platform at sharp.com.au (the "Platform").
SHARP is not a licensed wagering service provider, bookmaker, or financial services provider. SHARP does not hold an Australian Financial Services Licence (AFSL) and does not provide financial advice, investment advice, or licensed gambling services as defined under the Gambling Regulation Act 2003 (Vic) or the Interactive Gambling Act 2001 (Cth). All Content is provided for informational and entertainment purposes only.
By accessing the Platform, creating an account, or purchasing a subscription, you confirm that you:
If you are accessing SHARP on behalf of a business or organisation, you represent that you have authority to bind that entity to these Terms.
SHARP offers the following subscription tiers, with pricing displayed on the Platform at the time of purchase:
Subscriptions are billed on a recurring monthly basis from the date of initial purchase, processed securely via Stripe. By subscribing, you authorise SHARP to charge your nominated payment method on each renewal date. You are responsible for ensuring your payment details remain current. Failed payments may result in immediate suspension of access.
SHARP will use reasonable endeavours to deliver AFL multi cards prior to the first scheduled game of each round. Card publication is subject to the availability of relevant market data, team news, and injury information. SHARP does not guarantee delivery at a specific time and reserves the right to delay or withhold publication where data quality is insufficient to meet our research standards.
All Content delivered to your account is personalised with your member name and unique member identifier. This personalisation is applied to help us identify and act on unauthorised distribution of Content. By subscribing, you acknowledge that Content delivered to your account is uniquely identifiable and traceable to your account.
Nothing in these Terms limits, excludes, or modifies any rights you have under the Competition and Consumer Act 2010 (Cth), Schedule 2 ("Australian Consumer Law" or "ACL"). The ACL provides consumer guarantees that cannot be excluded by contract. If a service fails to meet a consumer guarantee, you may be entitled to a remedy including a refund, re-supply of the service, or compensation for reasonably foreseeable loss.
Subject to your rights under the ACL, SHARP's policy on refunds for digital subscriptions is as follows:
You may cancel your subscription at any time via your Account settings page or by contacting us at [email protected]. Cancellations take effect at the end of the current billing period. SHARP does not charge cancellation fees.
To request a refund under the circumstances described above, contact [email protected] with your name, member ID, the nature of your request, and supporting details. We will respond within 5 business days.
All Content on the SHARP Platform — including but not limited to multi cards, bet reviews, analytical methodology, written analysis, data visualisations, research processes, system design, software code, brand name, logo, and presentation format — is the exclusive intellectual property of SHARP and is protected under the Copyright Act 1968 (Cth) and applicable intellectual property laws.
Upon purchasing a valid subscription, SHARP grants you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to access and view the Content solely for your own personal use. This licence does not permit you to:
SHARP reserves the right to take legal action against any person who infringes its intellectual property rights, including seeking injunctive relief, damages, and an account of profits. All Content is watermarked and traceable to the originating member account. Evidence of unauthorised distribution will be used in any enforcement proceedings.
As a condition of your membership, you agree not to:
Each subscription is for a single named individual. Multiple accounts held by the same person, or a single account used by multiple persons, will be terminated. SHARP may use device fingerprinting, IP monitoring, and session analysis to detect account sharing.
If you become aware of unauthorised distribution of SHARP Content, please report it to [email protected]. SHARP takes intellectual property seriously and investigates all reports.
SHARP provides sports analysis and research for informational and entertainment purposes only. Nothing published by SHARP constitutes financial advice, investment advice, or a recommendation to place any particular wager. All analysis reflects the opinion and research of SHARP at the time of publication and is subject to change without notice.
Betting involves inherent risk and uncertainty. Past performance of SHARP selections is not indicative of future results. SHARP makes no representation, warranty, or guarantee that following its Content will result in profit or any particular outcome. Betting markets are subject to factors that cannot be predicted or controlled, including but not limited to player injury, late team changes, referee decisions, weather conditions, and market fluctuations.
To the maximum extent permitted by law (and subject to your non-excludable rights under the ACL), SHARP expressly disclaims all liability for:
Where liability cannot be fully excluded under the ACL, SHARP's total aggregate liability to you for any claims arising under or in connection with these Terms is limited to the total subscription fees paid by you to SHARP in the three (3) months preceding the event giving rise to the claim.
While SHARP takes reasonable care in preparing Content, we do not warrant that the Platform is free from errors. Odds, statistics, and injury information are time-sensitive and may change after publication. Members are responsible for verifying current market conditions before placing any wager. SHARP is not liable for odds movements or market changes occurring after Content is published.
SHARP takes its obligations with respect to responsible gambling seriously. In accordance with the objectives of the Gambling Regulation Act 2003 (Vic) — which seeks to minimise harm caused by problem gambling and accommodate those who gamble without harming themselves or others — SHARP incorporates the following measures:
SHARP is strictly for persons aged 18 years and over. If you are under 18, you must not access, use, or subscribe to SHARP. By creating an account, you confirm you are 18 years of age or older. SHARP reserves the right to request proof of age at any time and to terminate accounts where the user is found to be underage.
Betting on sports involves financial risk. SHARP's Content is designed to inform decision-making, not to encourage excessive gambling. We strongly encourage all members to:
If gambling is causing harm to you or someone you know, the following free services are available in Australia:
SHARP will not market services in a manner designed to exploit vulnerable individuals, will include responsible gambling messaging in its Content, and will cooperate with any request from a member who wishes to self-exclude or limit their access for responsible gambling purposes. Please contact [email protected] for assistance.
You may cancel your subscription at any time via your Account settings or by contacting [email protected]. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period. You retain access to Content until that date. No refund is issued for the remaining unused period, consistent with the Refund Policy in Section 4.
SHARP may suspend or permanently terminate your account immediately and without refund if you:
Upon termination, your licence to access Content is immediately revoked. Any Content downloaded or saved prior to termination remains subject to these Terms — termination does not grant permission to retain or distribute previously accessed Content. SHARP reserves the right to pursue legal remedies for any breach that caused loss or damage, even after termination.
The following sections survive termination of your membership: Intellectual Property (Section 5), Disclaimer of Liability (Section 7), Governing Law (Section 10), and any accrued rights of SHARP in relation to breach.
These Terms and Conditions are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Victoria, Australia. You irrevocably submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Victoria, and the Federal Court of Australia, to hear and determine any dispute arising out of or in connection with these Terms.
The following legislation applies to the relationship between SHARP and its members, among other laws:
Nothing in these Terms limits any rights you have under Australian law that cannot be excluded by contract. To the extent of any inconsistency between these Terms and any applicable law, that law prevails to the extent of the inconsistency.
SHARP reserves the right to update or modify these Terms at any time. Where changes are material, we will provide not less than 14 days' notice to active members via email to the address registered to your account, or by prominent notice on the Platform. Your continued use of the Platform after the effective date of any updated Terms constitutes your acceptance of those changes.
If you do not agree to the updated Terms, you must cancel your subscription prior to the effective date of the changes. A refund for the unused pro-rata portion of any prepaid subscription period will be offered where the changes materially diminish the service you subscribed for.
