By using I Ching Explained you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the site.
2. What this site is
I Ching Explained is a free educational and entertainment resource about the I Ching, an ancient Chinese text. It provides a casting tool, an interpretive library of the 64 hexagrams, and explanatory guides.
3. Not professional advice
The content on this site is for reflection and entertainment. It is not medical, psychological, legal, financial or professional advice, and it must not be relied on for any decision of consequence. If you are facing a medical, legal or financial problem, consult a qualified professional. This is the most important clause on the page.
4. No guarantee of accuracy
Interpretations of the I Ching differ between traditions and translators. Ours are original modern readings offered in good faith. We make no claim that they are authoritative, that any particular reading will prove accurate, or that the site will be uninterrupted or error-free.

You may use the site for personal, non-commercial purposes. You may not scrape it at scale, republish its interpretive text, or present it as your own. You may quote short passages with a link back to the source page.
6. Intellectual property
The site's design, code and original interpretive text are protected by copyright. The I Ching itself is an ancient text in the public domain, and the structural facts we present about it — hexagram order, line patterns, trigram attributes — are facts, not our property.
7. Third-party links and advertising
The site contains advertising and may contain affiliate or third-party links. We are not responsible for the content, products or privacy practices of those destinations.
