Terms of Use

1. About The Zodiac Lore

The Zodiac Lore provides English-language resources about the Chinese zodiac, lunar culture, zodiac animals, Five Elements, compatibility patterns, and related cultural symbolism.

Our content is written for cultural, educational, and entertainment purposes. It is not intended to replace professional advice or make guaranteed predictions about any person’s life.

2. Cultural and educational content

Chinese zodiac readings on this website are based on traditional cultural symbolism, lunar-year boundaries, animal signs, Five Elements, and the 60-year cycle.

We make reasonable efforts to explain calendar facts clearly, especially for January and February birthdays. However, zodiac symbolism should be read as cultural interpretation, not as scientific proof or fixed personal identity.

3. Personalized digital readings

The Zodiac Lore may offer personalized Chinese zodiac reading PDFs or similar digital products. These products may use information you provide, such as birth date, name for the reading, optional birth time, birthplace, timezone, or a short note.

You are responsible for providing accurate information. If the birth date or other submitted details are incorrect, the resulting reading may also be incorrect.

Personalized readings are created for cultural, educational, and entertainment purposes only. They are not financial, medical, legal, psychological, relationship, or life-decision advice.

4. Digital delivery

Personalized readings and other digital products are delivered electronically, usually by email or through a download link after checkout.

Delivery time may vary depending on payment confirmation, technical processing, and whether the required birth information has been submitted correctly.

If you do not receive your digital product after payment, please contact us through the contact page and include your order email address.

5. Payments

Payments are processed through WooCommerce and third-party payment providers such as PayPal or other available payment gateways.

We do not directly store your full payment card details on this website. Payment processing is handled by the selected payment provider according to its own terms and privacy practices.

6. Refunds for personalized products

Because personalized readings are prepared using the information submitted by the buyer, completed personalized digital products are generally not refundable once generation or delivery has started.

If you placed an order by mistake or entered incorrect information, contact us as soon as possible. If the reading has not yet been prepared, we may be able to help adjust or cancel the order.

This does not limit any rights you may have under applicable consumer protection laws.

7. Personal use only

Unless otherwise stated, personalized readings, downloadable files, printables, and written content are for personal use only.

You may not resell, redistribute, upload, copy, package, or commercially reuse our digital products or website content without written permission.

8. Intellectual property

All original text, design elements, page layouts, product descriptions, digital reading templates, and related materials on The Zodiac Lore are owned by or licensed to The Zodiac Lore unless otherwise noted.

You may quote short excerpts with proper attribution and a link back to the original page, but you may not copy full pages, reports, or product files.

9. No professional advice

The information on this website is not professional advice. Do not use our content or readings as the sole basis for financial, medical, legal, immigration, relationship, career, health, or major life decisions.

For important personal decisions, consult a qualified professional in the relevant field.

10. Accuracy and availability

We aim to provide clear and careful explanations, but we do not guarantee that every page, calculator result, or reading will be error-free, uninterrupted, or available at all times.

We may update, revise, remove, or improve website content and product offerings without prior notice.
