Terms of Service

1. Who we are

This website, sumukpalja.com ("the site"), is run by JEONG USEONG, an individual based in South Korea. You can reach us at hello@sumukpalja.com. Purchases on the site are sold by Gumroad, which is the merchant of record (see section 7).

2. What the site offers

The site calculates a Korean saju (Four Pillars) chart from the birth details you enter and presents a reading in English. Readings are written for insight, reflection and entertainment, in the spirit of a long cultural tradition. The chart is calculated by traditional rules. The written readings — including the descriptions and the suggestions in the full reading — are our own interpretation, informed by that tradition. They are not quotations from classical texts or the teaching of any particular school. They are not a statement about what has to happen in your life, and we make no promises about outcomes.

Our videos are also on YouTube. Your use of YouTube is covered by the YouTube Terms of Service: https://www.youtube.com/t/terms

3. Not professional advice

Readings are not medical, psychological, legal, financial or other professional advice. Please don't use a reading as the basis for decisions about your health, money, relationships or safety — talk to a qualified professional for those.

4. Who can use the site

You need to be at least 18 years old to use the site.

5. How the calculation works and its limits

The chart is calculated from the date, time and place you enter. Results depend on that information being accurate. If you don't know your birth time, the reading leaves out the parts that need it. Some details are read differently across traditions — for example, births close to midnight — and we follow one consistent method, described on the result page.

6. Your private reading link

Each reading lives at its own private link. There is no account or password: anyone who has the link can open the reading, including the paid sections once unlocked. Keep the link private, the way you would a receipt. You can delete a reading at any time with the "Delete this reading" button on the reading page; deletion is permanent.

7. Paid readings

• The full reading costs $12 (USD), charged once.
• Purchases are sold and processed by Gumroad, which acts as the merchant of record. Gumroad's terms apply to the purchase, and your receipt comes from Gumroad. We don't see or store your card details.
• The full reading unlocks at the same private link after Gumroad confirms the payment, usually within a few seconds.
• Refunds follow our Refund Policy (/refund). Gumroad may also issue refunds under its own terms and applicable law.

8. Content and intellectual property

The text, design and code of the site belong to us. You may read, save and share your own reading for personal, non-commercial use. Please don't copy the site's content in bulk or republish it as your own. Fonts and data used under open licenses are credited in the site footer and our license notes.

9. Acceptable use

Please don't try to break, overload or get around the site's security, scrape it automatically, or use it to break the law.

10. Availability and changes to the site

We try to keep the site running, but we can't promise it will always be available or error-free. We may change or discontinue features.

11. Limitation of liability

To the extent the law allows, the site is provided "as is", and we aren't liable for indirect or consequential losses arising from using it. Our total liability for a paid reading is limited to the amount you paid for it. Nothing in these terms limits liability that can't be limited by law, or your rights as a consumer where you live.

12. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms. The date at the top shows the latest version. Changes apply from that date; for a reading you already bought, the terms in force at the time of purchase continue to apply to that purchase.

13. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of Korea. If you are a consumer, this doesn't take away the protection of the mandatory consumer laws of the country where you live.

14. Contact
