By accessing the website, submitting information, or placing an order, you agree to these Terms and to the Privacy Policy, Refund Policy, and Shipping Policy published on the website.

SECTION 2 — ELIGIBILITY AND LAWFUL USE

By using the Services, you confirm that you are legally permitted to enter into a purchase agreement in your jurisdiction or have any consent required by applicable law.

You agree to use the Services only for lawful personal purposes.

You must provide accurate, current, and complete information when placing an order, submitting a questionnaire, requesting a personalized product, or contacting us.

You are responsible for reviewing and correcting your information before submission.

Personalized digital products and services may include:

• Other written or visual digital experiences described on the applicable product page

A digital-only purchase does not include a physical product unless the product page expressly states otherwise.

The One Field Consultation is a written digital service and does not include a live telephone or video call.

We may update, limit, replace, or discontinue products and services where permitted by applicable law.

SECTION 4 — PRODUCT INFORMATION AND MATERIALS

We make reasonable efforts to present product names, descriptions, photographs, measurements, materials, prices, availability, and packaging accurately.

Physical products may vary slightly in:

• Color
• Pattern
• Texture
• Shape
• Surface details
• Bead count
• Dimensions
• Weight
• Finish

Measurements and weights are approximate unless expressly stated otherwise.

Material descriptions are based on information available to us, including information supplied by manufacturers and product suppliers.

Unless an individual product page expressly states otherwise, physical products do not include independent gemstone grading, laboratory testing, or material certification.

Customers should review the complete product description before ordering.

SECTION 5 — SYMBOLIC AND CULTURAL CONTENT

Physical products are offered as symbolic lifestyle accessories and personal objects.

Descriptions involving balance, grounding, harmony, opportunity, relationships, intention, or similar themes are provided for cultural exploration, symbolism, personal reflection, and everyday enjoyment.

Symbolic meanings are personal and subjective.

TaoistPath products do not predict or guarantee:

• Future events
• Luck or protection
• Wealth or financial improvement
• Career results
• Relationship outcomes
• Physical or mental health outcomes
• Emotional outcomes
• Any other particular result

Physical products are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any medical or psychological condition.

SECTION 6 — PERSONALIZED DIGITAL EXPERIENCES

Personalized digital experiences are prepared using information voluntarily submitted by the customer.

Depending on the selected product, this information may include:

• Birth information
• An area of personal focus
• A current situation
• A personal question
• Questionnaire responses
• Symbolic color preferences
• Phone-screen requirements
• An email address for delivery

Personalized products are intended for cultural exploration and personal reflection.

They are not fortune-telling, do not predict future events, and do not guarantee a specific result.

They do not constitute medical, psychological, legal, financial, investment, employment, relationship, or other professional advice.

Customers remain responsible for their own decisions and actions.

SECTION 7 — QUESTIONNAIRES AND INFORMATION SUBMISSION

We may use third-party form providers, including Tally, to collect information required for personalized digital products.

Customers may complete a personal assessment before purchasing where such an option is provided.

Customers who purchase a personalized product directly through the Shop may receive an email containing instructions for submitting the required information.

Personalized work begins only after:

• Payment has been confirmed; and
• All information reasonably required to prepare the product has been received

If submitted information is missing, unclear, or inconsistent, we may contact the customer before preparation begins.

By submitting information, you confirm that:

• The information is accurate to the best of your knowledge
• You have the right to provide it
• It does not infringe another person’s rights
• You understand that incomplete information may delay delivery

Do not submit passwords, complete payment-card numbers, banking credentials, government identification numbers, detailed medical records, or other unnecessary sensitive information.

Personal information is handled in accordance with our Privacy Policy.

SECTION 8 — ORDERS AND ACCEPTANCE

Placing an order constitutes a request to purchase the selected product or service.

An order is accepted after payment has been successfully processed and an order confirmation has been issued.

We may decline, limit, or cancel an order where permitted by applicable law, including in cases involving:

• Product unavailability
• Incorrect pricing or product information
• Suspected fraud or unauthorized payment activity
• Incomplete personalization information
• An inability to fulfil the order
• A violation of these Terms

If we cancel an accepted order after payment, an appropriate refund will be issued to the original payment method where required.

Customers must review their product selection, email address, billing information, delivery address, and personalization details before completing an order.

SECTION 9 — PRICES, PAYMENTS, AND BILLING

Product prices are displayed in the currency shown on the website or during checkout.

Prices and availability may change without notice. Changes do not normally affect an order that has already been accepted.

Shipping charges, taxes, import duties, customs charges, currency-conversion fees, or other applicable costs may be added or charged separately.

The final amount payable will be displayed during checkout before payment is submitted.

Customers agree to provide accurate billing information and confirm that they are authorized to use the selected payment method.

Payments may be processed by authorized third-party payment service providers. Their services may be subject to separate terms, privacy notices, security procedures, and transaction screening.

We do not receive or store complete payment-card details when they are processed directly by an authorized payment provider.

SECTION 10 — DIGITAL DELIVERY

Personalized digital products are delivered electronically to the email address provided by the customer.

Unless stated otherwise on the applicable product page, please allow up to two business days for preparation after payment and all required information have been received.

Customers are responsible for:

• Providing a valid email address
• Checking spam or junk folders
• Providing complete personalization information
• Responding to reasonable requests for missing information

Delivery may be delayed if required information is incomplete or inaccurate.

A digital product is considered delivered when it has been sent to the email address or other approved delivery destination provided by the customer.

SECTION 11 — PHYSICAL SHIPPING AND DELIVERY

Physical products may be fulfilled through logistics partners and shipped from China.

Available destinations, shipping rates, free-shipping conditions, processing periods, estimated delivery times, tracking information, customs responsibilities, and address requirements are stated in our Shipping Policy.

Shipping charges apply only to orders containing physical products.

Delivery estimates are provided for reference and are not guaranteed.

Delivery may be affected by customs processing, public holidays, weather, carrier disruptions, remote destinations, incorrect address information, or other circumstances outside our reasonable control.

Customers are responsible for providing a complete and accurate delivery address.

SECTION 12 — CUSTOMS, DUTIES, AND TAXES

International orders may be subject to import duties, taxes, customs charges, brokerage charges, or local handling fees.

Unless checkout expressly states otherwise, these charges are not included in the product price or shipping fee and are the customer’s responsibility.

We cannot control or predict charges imposed by the authorities or service providers in the destination country.

SECTION 13 — CANCELLATIONS, RETURNS, AND REFUNDS

Cancellations, returns, replacements, and refunds are governed by our Refund Policy and applicable law.

Eligible physical products may generally be returned within 30 days of delivery, subject to the conditions stated in the Refund Policy.

Customers are generally responsible for standard return shipping costs unless the item was sent incorrectly, arrived damaged, or has a confirmed defect.

Customers must contact us and receive return instructions before sending a product back. Unauthorized returns may not be accepted.

A cancellation or refund for a personalized digital product may be considered before personalized work has begun.

Once personalized work has begun or the completed digital product has been delivered, the purchase is generally non-refundable, except where required by applicable law or otherwise stated in the Refund Policy.

SECTION 14 — PRODUCT IMAGES AND DIGITAL PRESENTATION

Product photographs are intended to represent the overall design and appearance of the product.

Some lifestyle, editorial, or promotional images may be digitally created or enhanced for presentation purposes.

Decorative objects, furniture, clothing, plants, books, display stands, or other accessories appearing in lifestyle images are not included unless expressly listed on the product page.

Only items specifically identified in the product description or “What You’ll Receive” section are included in the purchase.

Screen settings, photography, lighting, production batches, and individual finishing may affect how a product appears.

Minor variations that do not materially change the overall design or intended use of a product are not necessarily defects.

• Selecting the intended product or variant
• Providing accurate contact, billing, and delivery information
• Submitting required personalization details
• Checking order confirmations and delivery communications

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability that cannot legally be excluded or limited.

We are not responsible for a delay or failure caused by circumstances outside our reasonable control.

These circumstances may include customs delays, carrier disruptions, natural events, severe weather, public emergencies, government actions, labour disruptions, failures of third-party platforms, or interruptions to communication and payment systems.

We will make reasonable efforts to communicate material delays and fulfil affected obligations when reasonably possible.

SECTION 25 — SEVERABILITY AND WAIVER

If any provision of these Terms is found to be unlawful, invalid, or unenforceable, that provision will be enforced to the fullest extent permitted or separated from the remaining Terms.

The remaining provisions will continue in effect.

Failure to enforce a provision immediately does not waive the right to enforce it later.

SECTION 26 — ENTIRE AGREEMENT

These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, Refund Policy, Shipping Policy, and other policies referenced on the website, constitute the agreement between the customer and the store operator concerning the Services.

They replace prior communications relating to the same subject matter, except where otherwise required by law.
