Terms of Service

1. The Agreement

Eastern Ritual — Personal Elements Blueprint (the "Service") is operated by Xiwu Yang, independent publisher and operator of this website. Your order, your payment, and your use of the Service form a contract between you and us under these terms. If you do not agree with them, please do not use the Service or place an order.

2. What We Deliver

We currently sell one product: Personal Elements Blueprint Report, a digital report priced at $9.99 USD. It is generated from the details you provide and includes:

• A calendar-based calculation of your elemental profile (Five Elements)
• A True Solar Time correction, so the calculation matches your local clock time and daylight-saving rules
• A visual summary of your element distribution
• One practical daily-focus suggestion and a short set of reflection prompts

The report is delivered within 24 hours of purchase, by email. Delivery is digital; nothing is shipped.

3. Reflection, Not Prediction

Eastern Ritual provides self-reflection and personal-development content based on a traditional Chinese calendar framework (Five Elements). Nothing on this site or in any report we deliver is a fortune telling, divination, prophecy, or prediction service, and nothing constitutes medical, psychological, legal, financial, or investment advice. All content is provided for informational and reflective purposes only. You are solely responsible for your own decisions, and you should consult qualified professionals where appropriate.

We describe tendencies and offer prompts for your own reflection. We do not state what will happen in your life, and we do not tell you what to do about your health, relationships, work, or money.

4. Not Professional Advice

The Service and any report we deliver are not a substitute for professional advice, including medical, psychological, legal, financial, or investment advice, and they are not counselling of any kind. If you are facing a serious decision or a crisis, please consult a qualified professional in the relevant field.

5. No Affiliation

Eastern Ritual is not affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by, or connected to any fraternal organization, religious body, or lodge, including the Order of the Eastern Star or any of its chapters or members.

6. Payment, Taxes and Currency

Payments are processed by Creem, which acts as our Merchant of Record: it handles the checkout, applicable taxes, and receipts on our behalf. We never receive or store your full card details. Payouts to the operator follow the payment provider's minimum balance and payout schedule, which may delay withdrawal of small balances.

7. Refunds

If you are not satisfied with your report, contact us within 7 days of purchase and we will refund the purchase. Because a report is delivered digitally and cannot be returned, we may ask what went wrong before issuing a refund; we do not require a reason. Refunds are issued to the original payment method and may take several business days to appear.

8. Acceptable Use

You agree not to:

• Redistribute, resell, or republish the report as your own
• Use the Service to make medical, legal, financial, or life decisions on behalf of others
• Attempt to disrupt, overload, or probe the Service, or to reverse engineer the calculation beyond ordinary use
• Misrepresent our output as professional advice or as a guarantee of any outcome

9. Intellectual Property

The Service, including its design, text, calculation approach, report template, and the name Eastern Ritual, belongs to us. You receive a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to use your report for your own purposes. You may quote short excerpts with attribution.

10. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, we are not liable for any indirect or consequential loss arising from your use of the Service or your use of the report, and our total liability for any claim relating to the Service or the report is limited to the amount you paid for it. Nothing in these terms excludes liability that cannot legally be excluded.

11. Privacy

Our Privacy Policy explains what data we collect and how we use it. It is part of these terms.

12. Changes to These Terms

We may update these terms as the Service evolves. We will update the date at the top of this page and notify buyers by email before any material change affects an existing purchase.
