Terms of use

Jade Almanac is a publication about Chinese culture: characters and symbols, mythology, the zodiac, feng shui, and the traditional fortune arts. By using the site you agree to these terms. They exist mostly to make two things clear: what our content is for, and what it is not.

Cultural content, not advice

Everything on this site, including zodiac profiles, compatibility readings, feng shui guidance, and the calculators, presents traditions: systems that people built and refined over centuries, reported as faithfully as we can from the sources. It is offered for cultural interest and reflection. It is not a factual prediction about your life, and it is not medical, financial, legal, or professional advice of any kind.

• The gender predictor runs at roughly coin-flip accuracy, and we say so on the tool itself. Never make any decision about a pregnancy based on it; that is a conversation for your doctor.
• Zodiac, feng shui, and fortune content describes what the tradition says, not what will happen to you.

Accuracy

We work from primary sources and named translations, we cite where our claims come from, and we fix mistakes when readers point them out. Even so, we cannot promise the site is complete or error-free, and it is provided as is, without warranties of any kind.

Tattoos and other permanent uses

We take real care to show correct, verifiable characters, and our pages flag common stencil errors. Still, a website is not a substitute for a second pair of eyes: before you put any character on your skin or anything else permanent, have it checked by a native reader. We are not responsible for how third parties reproduce what you bring them.

Using our content

The writing, artwork, and tools on Jade Almanac are protected by copyright. You are welcome to read, link, and quote with attribution. Downloads such as the symbols pack are for your personal use, not for resale or redistribution. Please do not scrape the site abusively, overload our endpoints, or present our work as your own.

Third-party links

We link out to sources, dictionaries, and books we cite. Those sites have their own terms and privacy practices, and we are not responsible for their content.

Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Jade Almanac and its author are not liable for any loss or damage arising from your use of the site or reliance on its content. The site is a cultural publication; decisions you make remain your own.

Changes

We may update these terms as the site grows. The date at the top reflects the latest revision, and continued use of the site after a change means you accept the updated terms.
