1. What this service is
ALIOTH computes a BaZi (Four Pillars) chart from your birth details using a deterministic rule engine, and produces a written interpretation based on traditional Chinese frameworks. The service is educational and cultural in nature.
2. What it is not
- It is not medical, psychological, legal, financial or investment advice.
- It does not predict future events, and no outcome is guaranteed.
- It is not a substitute for a qualified professional in any of those fields.
- It is not a reason to make a significant life, financial or health decision.
3. Your responsibilities
- You must be 18 or older to purchase a reading.
- If you provide birth details for another person, you confirm you have their permission.
- You will not use the service to harass, defame or make claims about another person.
- You will not resell, republish or redistribute a purchased reading as your own product.
4. Orders and delivery
A paid reading is delivered as a PDF to the email address given at checkout, usually within 24 hours and no later than 48 hours. If your details are incomplete or ambiguous, delivery may be delayed while we confirm them with you.
5. Pricing and payment
Prices are shown in US dollars at checkout and may change. Payment is taken by our payment provider. The currency that your card is billed in, and any conversion or bank fee, is determined by your card issuer.

8. Intellectual property
The reading you receive is for your personal use. The site, its text, its structure and its design remain ours. You may quote short excerpts with attribution; you may not reproduce a full reading commercially.
9. Limitation of liability
To the extent permitted by law, our total liability for any claim relating to a reading is limited to the amount you paid for it. We are not liable for decisions you make after reading it.
