Terms of Use

1. Entertainment only — not professional advice

8lifes produces interpretive content generated from classical Chinese metaphysics (BaZi / Four Pillars, Plum Blossom divination and the Five Elements) combined with automated analysis.

All readings, divinations, reports and consultations are provided for self-reflection, entertainment and personal growth. They are not medical, psychological, legal, financial or investment advice, and must not be relied on as a substitute for professional guidance.

You are solely responsible for the decisions you make. If you are in crisis or need professional help, please contact a qualified practitioner or emergency service in your jurisdiction.

2. Your account

You can use part of 8lifes without an account. Signing in creates an account tied to your email address or Google account, which lets your readings and remaining credits follow you across devices.

You are responsible for keeping access to your email account secure, because sign-in links are delivered there. Do not share your account or share links in a way that exposes personal information about others.

3. Free daily reading, credits and plans

Every visitor receives one free reading per day. Once that is used, additional readings are consumed from purchased credits or from an active monthly / yearly plan.

Credits are one-off and do not expire while your account exists. Subscriptions grant unlimited readings for the stated period and renew only if you set up renewal with our payment provider.

Prices are shown in US dollars at checkout and are processed by Stripe. We never receive or store your card details.

4. Payments and refunds

Payments are handled by Stripe. By purchasing you also agree to Stripe’s terms and to our payment provider’s processing of your payment data.

Because readings are delivered digitally and immediately, purchases are generally non-refundable once a reading has been generated. If something went wrong with a payment, contact us and we will look into it in good faith.

5. Sharing features

You can create share links for a reading. You choose whether a link is public, password-protected, limited to a number of views, set to expire, restricted to your own account, or configured to stop working after the first view.

You are responsible for anything you choose to share through those links. Do not use the sharing features to publish content that is unlawful, harassing, or that discloses another person’s private information.

6. Acceptable use

Do not attempt to bypass the free daily limit, the credit system, rate limits, authentication, or the admin console. Do not scrape, resell or bulk-generate readings, and do not interfere with the service or other users.

We may suspend or remove access, or revoke share links, where we reasonably believe these terms have been breached.

7. Availability and changes

The service is provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis. Interpretations may vary between readings, and we do not warrant that any reading will be accurate, complete, or suitable for a particular purpose.

We may change, suspend or discontinue any part of the service, and may update these terms. Material changes will be reflected on this page with a new effective date.

8. Privacy

How we collect, store and protect your data is described in our privacy policy, which forms part of these terms.
