These Terms of Service explain the acceptable use of the Kawaii Hoshi website, including its related services and server infrastructure. They also describe our approach to content moderation and what visitors can expect regarding the website’s performance and availability.
If you have questions about what you are legally permitted to do with content available on this website, please refer to our Copyright Policy.
Access
Kawaii Hoshi is intended to be accessed by human visitors using standard web browser software and similar products through normal direct interaction. Except for publicly available RSS feeds provided in XML format, the website and its associated files are not intended to be accessed through automated methods such as scripts, bots, crawlers, or other automated applications.
If you use an automated method to access or download any part of the website, your access may be temporarily or permanently restricted, terminated, delayed, or slowed. This may be particularly necessary where large numbers of files or large files are being downloaded simultaneously.
These measures are intended to protect the website’s performance and ensure a reasonable experience for visitors who access and use Kawaii Hoshi in the manner for which it was designed.
Automated access through scripts, bots, crawlers, or similar methods can significantly affect website performance and may create substantial additional costs for the website operators without generating sufficient revenue to offset those costs. Even relatively small violations of this policy can have a significant cumulative effect when combined with similar activity from other visitors.
We ask that you respect these guidelines so that Kawaii Hoshi can continue to operate as a free resource. Our resources, including both time and financial resources, are intended to support the development, improvement, and expansion of the website and its content. Your cooperation helps us to continue providing the service.
Direct Linking
Directly linking to images or other large files hosted on Kawaii Hoshi is not permitted without our permission. You are welcome to link directly to individual HTML or XML-based pages on the website.
Direct links to small preview images may be permitted, but their continued availability is not guaranteed.
Except for publicly available RSS feeds provided in XML format, files and services hosted by Kawaii Hoshi may not be incorporated into, embedded within, or otherwise integrated with another online service or application without the express written permission of the website operators.
User-Submitted Content
Kawaii Hoshi may rely on contributions from its user community for some of its content. We may accept submissions in the form of wallpapers or other content appropriate for publication on the website. In order to maintain the quality and suitability of the material available on Kawaii Hoshi, only selected submissions may be published in publicly accessible areas of the website.
Some content on Kawaii Hoshi may allow public comments, with comments submitted by visitors appearing on the website alongside the relevant content.
The commenting feature is intended for constructive feedback and discussion relating directly to the content being discussed. It must not be used for personal insults, whether explicit or implied, unrelated or off-topic discussions, racially or culturally insensitive material, sexual content, or other material that is inappropriate for a general family audience, including children.
Visitors are also asked not to post personally identifiable information on the website, whether the information relates to themselves or another person.
Children under the age of 13 should only submit comments or other content under the supervision of a parent, guardian, or other responsible adult.
Kawaii Hoshi reserves the right to review and moderate content submitted to the website, both before and after publication. Content may be removed or edited at any time, either manually or through automated moderation systems. Automated systems may use information supplied by users to help determine whether content is appropriate for publication.
Our moderation standards and criteria may change over time.
Performance and Availability
The operators of Kawaii Hoshi make reasonable efforts to maintain the website and its associated services and to keep them available and functioning properly. However, continuous availability, uptime, or accessibility cannot be guaranteed.
The website may occasionally become unavailable, either completely or partially, for reasons including planned or emergency maintenance, feature updates, bug fixes, server migrations, hardware upgrades or failures, or measures taken to prevent unauthorised access, hacking, abuse, or exploitation of the website or its resources.
Liability
Kawaii Hoshi, its owners, employees, contractors, and partners shall not be held legally liable or financially responsible for any loss, damage, or injury arising from or connected with the use of, or inability to use, Kawaii Hoshi, its associated websites, content, services, or infrastructure.
