Terms of Service

Effective date: 5 April 2026 · Last reviewed: 9 May 2026 (Mobile v3 — added §15 Email Subscriptions)

Please read these Terms carefully before using the DaoShu Energy website or services. By registering an account or submitting a property for analysis, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

1. Overview

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.

2. Nature of the Service

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.

3. Eligibility

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.

4. Account Registration and Credits

4.1 Account

You must register with a valid email address. You are responsible for all activity under your account. Notify us immediately at support@daoshuenergy.com if you suspect unauthorised access.

4.2 Credits

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.

4.3 Free Scan

New registrations receive one complimentary analysis credit. This free credit is provided once per person and may not be transferred. We reserve the right to modify or discontinue the free credit offer at any time with reasonable notice.

5. Payments

All payments are processed by Stripe, Inc. (USA). By purchasing credits, you agree to Stripe's terms of service. We do not store your payment card details.

All prices are in Australian Dollars (AUD). The displayed price is the final amount payable. Price changes will not affect credits already purchased.

5.1 GST status

DaoShu Energy is not currently registered for Australian GST (we are below the A$75,000 annual turnover threshold under the A New Tax System (Goods and Services Tax) Act 1999 (Cth), s 23-15). Accordingly:

  • No GST is included in or added to the displayed price.
  • We do not issue tax invoices in the strict §29-70 GST Act sense. You will receive a standard payment receipt from Stripe by email after a successful purchase, which is sufficient as proof of payment for personal use.
  • Should we cross the GST registration threshold in future, this Policy and the displayed prices will be updated with at least 14 days’ notice to registered users.

Energy Credits (“EC”) are a platform-internal billing unit used to access specific services on DaoShu Energy. 1 EC = A$1. EC are non-refundable, non-transferable, and not redeemable for cash.

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.

9. Cultural Nature & Limitations

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.

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.

13. Changes to Terms
