Terms of Service

Last updated: November 1, 2026

Welcome to ChineseDeity (https://chinesedeity.com). The Service is operated by Shengping Zhou, an individual operating as "ChineseDeity". By accessing or using this website and its installable web app (the "Service"), you agree to these Terms.

1. Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years old, or the age of majority in your jurisdiction, to use paid features. By using the Service you confirm you meet this requirement.

2. Description of Service

The Service offers culturally themed content and features related to Chinese deities, BaZi (Four Pillars) calculations, fortune sticks, annual forecasts, and related symbolic services. All such content is provided for entertainment and cultural interest purposes only and does not constitute professional, financial, medical, legal, or religious advice.

3. Accounts

You are responsible for keeping your account credentials confidential and for all activity under your account. Notify us immediately of unauthorised use. We may suspend accounts that violate these Terms.

4. Acceptable Use

You agree not to:

  • use the Service for unlawful purposes;
  • attempt to gain unauthorised access, scrape at scale, or disrupt the Service;
  • upload or transmit malicious code;
  • misrepresent your identity or impersonate others;
  • use automated means to abuse free features or daily limits (e.g., bypassing anonymous visitor limits).

5. Payments and Orders

Paid services are processed by third-party payment providers. Prices and point values are shown before you confirm. Orders are confirmed once payment is captured. Where a service is symbolic or ceremonial in nature, no physical or guaranteed outcome is promised.

6. Refunds

Because services may be delivered digitally or performed on confirmation, refunds are handled case by case. Request a refund by contacting us at chinesedeity@126.com within 14 days of purchase. Where required by law, mandatory consumer rights prevail.

7. Intellectual Property

All content, trademarks, and software on the Service are owned by us or our licensors, except where otherwise noted. You may not copy, modify, distribute, or create derivative works without permission. Reference data derived from public sources remains subject to its original terms.

8. User Content

If you submit content (such as a wish or blessing message), you grant us a non-exclusive licence to display and store it as part of the Service. You confirm you have the right to submit it and that it is not unlawful or offensive. We may remove content at our discretion.

9. Third-Party Services and Advertising

The Service displays advertising from third parties, including Google AdSense, and uses third-party analytics. We are not responsible for third-party content, products, or practices.

10. Disclaimers

The Service is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, express or implied. We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that any reading or forecast is accurate.

11. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, we are not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from your use of the Service.

12. Indemnity

You agree to indemnify us against claims arising from your misuse of the Service or violation of these Terms.

13. Termination

We may suspend or terminate your access at any time for violation of these Terms or where required by law.

14. Governing Law and Jurisdiction

These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the People's Republic of China, without regard to its conflict-of-law rules.

Any dispute arising out of or in connection with these Terms or the Service shall be subject to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts located in Qionghai, Hainan Province, China. Nothing in these Terms limits any consumer's right to bring a claim before the courts of their own place of residence where mandatory consumer-protection laws so provide.

The Service is operated by Shengping Zhou, an individual operating as "ChineseDeity", based in Qionghai, Hainan Province, China.

15. Changes

We may update these Terms. Continued use after changes means acceptance.
