DaoShu Energy operates the website at daoshuenergy.com and provides cultural feng shui analysis reports for residential and commercial properties.
These Terms form a legally binding agreement between you and DaoShu Energy, governed by the laws of South Australia, Australia.
Cultural reference only — not professional advice. Reports are based on traditional Chinese cultural principles (Ba-Zhai / Eight Mansions theory) and fall within metaphysical research for cultural and informational purposes only.
Our reports do not constitute professional property advice, investment advice, financial advice, legal advice, building advice, or any other form of licensed professional advice. They should not be used as the sole or primary basis for any decision to purchase, rent, sell, or develop any property.
You must be at least 18 years of age to use the Service. By registering, you represent that you are 18 or older and have the legal capacity to enter into these Terms.

One credit is consumed per completed analysis report. Credits are non-transferable between accounts. Credits do not expire while your account remains active. If your account is terminated for breach of these Terms, unused credits are forfeited.

You agree not to:
All content on the DaoShu Energy website — including our analysis pipeline, rule engine, visual maps, and branding — is owned by DaoShu Energy. You receive a personal, non-transferable licence to view and download your own reports for personal use only.
You retain ownership of any floor plan images you upload. By uploading, you grant us a limited licence to process the image solely for the purpose of generating your report.
Our reports are based on classical Chinese I-Ching culture, environmental metaphysics, and folk theories. While we strive for accuracy in applying these principles, environmental energy and aura analysis are time-sensitive and subjectively interpreted, and results may vary. We do not warrant that every report will be free of errors.
Reports reflect conditions only at the time of assessment and are for personal cultural reference. They are not the opinion or advice of any human expert unless explicitly indicated.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, DaoShu Energy's total liability to you for any claim arising from these Terms or the Service is limited to the amount you paid us in the 12 months preceding the claim.
We are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including loss of profits, data, or goodwill arising from your use of the Service.
Nothing in these Terms excludes, restricts, or modifies any consumer guarantee, right, or remedy you have under the Australian Consumer Law that cannot be excluded by agreement. If the ACL applies, our liability is limited to resupplying the service or refunding the cost paid.
You may close your account at any time by contacting support@daoshuenergy.com. Unused credits will not be refunded on voluntary closure.
We may suspend or terminate your account for breach of these Terms. In such cases, unused credits are forfeited. We will give you reasonable notice except where immediate termination is required to prevent fraud or harm.
We may update these Terms. We will notify registered users of material changes by email at least 14 days before they take effect. Continued use of the Service after notice constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.
These Terms are governed by the laws of South Australia, Australia. You submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of South Australia.
