Terms of Use

Zi Wei Dou Shu · Chart (English edition) · last updated 14 November 2026

1. What this software is

Zi Wei Dou Shu · Chart is a charting and study tool for the traditional Chinese art of Zi Wei Dou Shu. It draws charts, displays the four transformations, and walks the decadal and annual layers. It is a cultural-study aid, not a professional service.

2. Licence

You are granted a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to install and use the software on the devices you own. An activation code is bound to the device it was issued for.

3. Payment and refunds

The English build distributed here is the offline edition: there is no online checkout, no account and no subscription. Activation is arranged directly with the author. Because a code is bound to a device on issue, refunds are handled case by case — contact the author within seven days of purchase.

4. Use of the output

Readings, rankings and scores are generated from the chart by fixed rules. They are a structural interpretation, not a statement of fact about you or anyone else. You are responsible for how you use them.

5. Disclaimer

This software is for the study of traditional culture and personal interest only. It is not medical, legal, financial, psychological or relationship advice, and it does not predict events or change anyone’s fortune. Nothing in the output should replace a qualified professional’s opinion. Minors should use it with a guardian.

6. Limitation of liability

To the extent permitted by law, the author is not liable for any loss arising from the use of, or inability to use, this software, including decisions made on the basis of its output. The software is provided “as is”, without warranty of uninterrupted or error-free operation.

7. Intellectual property

The software, its rule tables and its text belong to the author. The classical terminology (star names, palace names, the four transformations) belongs to the tradition and is used descriptively.

8. Changes

These terms may be updated with a new release; the current version is always the one published on this page. Continued use after an update means you accept the updated terms.
