Terms of Service

1. What this service is

The Hexagrams (thehexagrams.com) offers I Ching hexagram casting, hexagram reference material, and Chinese BaZi (Four Pillars) chart calculation, along with optional paid digital products: AI-written readings of your own cast ($4.99) and BaZi report sections ($4.99 each, or $29.99 all-access). Casting and core readings are free; all purchases are one-time. There are no subscriptions.

2. Entertainment only

Everything on this site is provided for entertainment and personal reflection. Readings are not medical, legal, financial, psychological, or professional advice of any kind. Nothing here predicts the future. Do not make health, legal, financial, or safety decisions based on a reading; consult a qualified professional instead.

3. Who may use it

You must be at least 18 years old to purchase a paid reading. The free casting features may be used by anyone old enough to form their own judgment about entertainment content.

4. Your content

You keep ownership of the questions you write. You grant us a limited, temporary license to process them for the sole purpose of generating your reading. Do not submit content that is unlawful, that infringes others' rights, or that contains sensitive personal data about third parties.

5. Purchases

Paid readings are one-time digital products, delivered on the website immediately after generation. Prices are shown before purchase and payments are processed by our merchant of record, Subotiz. Because each reading is generated uniquely from your own cast and question, two purchases made with identical inputs may still differ in wording. See ourRefund Policy for when a refund is available.

6. Acceptable use

Do not attempt to overload, scrape at scale, reverse-engineer, or resell the service or its outputs as your own product. We may limit usage to keep the service available for everyone.

7. Intellectual property

The site's design, code, and modern-language interpretive texts are © The Hexagrams. Hexagram source material derives from the public-domain Legge translation (1899). The I Ching as a text of antiquity is in the public domain; we claim no exclusive right to it.

8. No warranty & limitation of liability

The service is provided "as is" without warranties of any kind. To the maximum extent permitted by law, our total liability to you for any claim is limited to the amount you paid us in the twelve months before the claim, and in no event will we be liable for indirect or consequential damages.

9. Governing law & restricted territories

These Terms and any dispute arising out of or in connection with them are governed by the laws of the People's Republic of China, without regard to its conflict-of-law rules; the courts of the People's Republic of China have exclusive jurisdiction.

The service is not offered in Japan, Thailand, or Mexico, where fortune-telling and divination services are restricted or prohibited. You must not access or purchase from these territories, including via VPN or proxy. We block traffic and orders originating from these territories by IP geolocation, and we may cancel orders and withhold deliverables from restricted territories without refund eligibility.

10. Changes & contact

We may update these terms; material changes will be reflected in the date above. Continued use after a change means you accept it. Questions:support@thehexagrams.com
