Terms
Terms of Service
Plain-language use terms for readings, guide downloads, report interest, digital products, and support.
Last updated: October 12, 2026.
Eastern Elements provides cultural learning, self-reflection, free reading previews, guide downloads, report availability forms, digital product interest forms, practice materials, and related educational content inspired by classical Chinese frameworks such as Dao, Yin-Yang, Five Elements, seasonal qi, Yi Ching, and cultivation.
Reflection, not professional advice
Readings, reports, guides, and practice materials are cultural learning tools and should not replace qualified support.
Clear terms before purchase
Any active checkout should state price, delivery format, access method, refund path, and support contact before payment.
Support stays visible
Visitors should have a clear path for access issues, privacy questions, product questions, and future order support.
Free paths and current purchase availability
The current site is primarily a validation site. Free reading previews, saved readings, guide requests, report availability requests, ebook interest, product interest, analytics events, and feedback are used to understand what visitors actually find useful. These paths are not purchases or preorders. Paid checkout is limited to the four English PDFs and uses PayPal.
Readings, guides, and future digital products
Readings, reports, guides, Tao Te Ching materials, Yi Ching reflections, practice materials, and future ebooks are for cultural learning, journaling, and self-reflection. The planned Personalized Cultural Reflection Report is separate from the first four-book English PDF checkout scope. It is not fortune-telling, a forecast, a best-timing service, health diagnosis, professional advice, or a promise of any outcome.
The four-book checkout scope is four English educational PDF books: Tao Stories for Everyday Calm, Tao Stories for Kids, Taoism for Beginners, and Ma Wang Dui Tao Te Ching. These are complete digital PDFs in English, not physical goods. Limited free samples are not full books. Open the relevant book page to review the purchase details and linked policies before continuing to PayPal.
User submissions
When you submit a reading, guide request, report availability request, product interest, or feedback, you are responsible for the accuracy of the information you provide. Please do not submit medical, legal, financial, emergency, payment-card, or highly sensitive personal details through site forms.
Payments and checkout
Eastern Elements does not directly store payment card data. When the four-book checkout is available, PayPal handles payment. Private full-PDF access requires verified payment; returning from PayPal alone is not confirmation. Review the linked order and refund-support information and privacy notice before continuing.
Live ebook access and order support
When Live ebook checkout is available, the displayed USD price is the total charged by Eastern Elements, including any applicable seller-collected tax. We do not add a PayPal payment surcharge. Your bank or payment provider may separately charge for currency conversion or its own services.
Keep your PayPal transaction record as payment proof and the website order or delivery notice for product and access details. A delivery notice is not a tax invoice. For a receipt question or a legally required invoice, contact support@eastern-elements.comwith your order reference. Tax-invoice handling depends on the applicable requirements; we do not promise an automatic tax invoice or that PayPal calculates and remits the seller's taxes.
When Live ebook purchases are available, the initial private access link is valid for 14 days from issuance; the delivery notice states the exact expiry. Each file-download URL generated from a valid access link expires after 15 minutes. For failed or expired access, contact support for one manually approved reissue after paid, non-refunded, non-revoked order status is verified. Reissue is not automatic or unlimited. Sandbox test access and earlier order-specific terms are separate.
Verified duplicate charges are refunded through the payment provider. For non-delivery, broken files, or wrong files, we first try to restore access or provide the correct file. Other refund requests are considered case by case, subject to applicable consumer rights and provider rules. These terms do not limit rights that apply by law. See the refund-support page for the request process.
Physical goods
The current validation phase focuses on digital learning products. Future physical symbolic goods, if offered, should use a separate commerce setup with their own shipping, delivery, return, refund, and fulfillment information.
Intellectual property
Site content, brand assets, guides, report structures, product concepts, page copy, downloadable materials, and future paid materials belong to Eastern Elements or their respective rights holders. You may use free content for personal reflection, but you may not copy, resell, or repackage site materials as your own product.

Is payment active on Eastern Elements now?
Yes, only for the four listed English PDF books, through PayPal on the book pages. Reports, audio, and physical goods are not included.
What should a future checkout show before payment?
A future checkout should make the product name, price, digital delivery format, refund path, support contact, and any important access details clear before purchase.
Can I buy or download a full Digital Library book now?
The four complete English PDFs can be purchased on their book pages. Private access follows verified payment. The limited public samples remain free and are not the full books.
Are readings or reports professional advice?
No. Eastern Elements materials are for cultural learning, journaling, and self-reflection. They are not medical, legal, financial, psychological, emergency, relationship, immigration, or other professional advice.
Can I copy or resell Eastern Elements materials?
No. Free content can be used for personal reflection, but site materials, reports, guides, brand assets, and product concepts should not be copied, resold, or repackaged as another product.
How do I ask a terms or support question?
Email support@eastern-elements.com. Include the relevant page, product, or request, but do not send payment-card details or unnecessary sensitive information.
