Terms of Service

Who operates MingSez

MingSez is operated by Tang Longdi, an individual operator based in mainland China. MingSez is intended for audiences outside mainland China. In these terms, “we”, “us” and “our” mean Tang Longdi trading as MingSez. These terms cover your use of mingsez.com and its account services. Please read them before using the service; if you do not agree, do not use it.

For account, service, billing or legal questions, contact support@mingsez.com. Our Privacy Policy explains how we handle personal information.

What the service provides

MingSez offers English-language learning resources and tools drawing on Eastern traditions, including BaZi, Zi Wei, Qi Men, dream meanings, calendars and fortune sticks. These digital services are accessed online; no physical goods are supplied.

Articles and public tool calculations can be used without an account. Fortune-stick draws and number lookups show the poem, brief meaning, story and sources publicly; the complete interpretation is free with an account. An account also lets you save selected results and birth details in My Ming.

Mingcore personal conversations and member daily readings are being prepared for release. Features described below apply only when made available. Paid checkout is not currently open, and this page does not create a subscription or authorize a charge.

Your account and information

Use an email address you control and provide accurate information. Registration collects a Gregorian birth date and birthplace for readings; birth time is optional. Keep your password private and contact support if you suspect unauthorized access. Subscribers and purchasers of paid services must be at least 18 years old and have the legal capacity to enter into the purchase agreement. When paid checkout opens, this requirement will be confirmed separately at checkout. A birth date entered for a reading may belong to someone under 18; it is not proof of the account holder’s or purchaser’s age and does not by itself prevent registration or a purchase. Only provide another person’s details with appropriate permission. Public articles remain available without an account.

Only submit information you are entitled to provide. Avoid including another person’s identifying or sensitive details in a question. You retain your rights in the content you submit and allow us to process it as needed to provide and maintain the service described in our Privacy Policy.

Personal readings and their limits

Traditional interpretations offer cultural context, reflection and a different perspective on everyday life. They are not verified predictions or medical, psychological, legal, financial or other professional advice. No reading guarantees changes in health, wealth, relationships, luck or future events. Important decisions remain yours and should draw on relevant facts and qualified advice.

When Mingcore is available, it will use third-party AI from DeepSeek alongside our calculation and reference tools. AI responses can be mistaken, incomplete or unsuitable for your circumstances. You can question an interpretation or correct the information used. Availability also depends on our hosting and service providers.

Planned trial, membership and single readings

The following first-edition plans are not yet available to purchase. Prices are in US dollars. Any applicable taxes and the final amount must be shown before a future payment is confirmed.

• Free trial: one trial after completing the required birth profile. It starts when you explicitly activate it, requires no card and does not convert automatically into a paid plan. It includes daily readings on the activation date and the next two calendar dates in your confirmed trial timezone, plus three Mingcore questions in total during that period. This is a calendar-day trial, not a guaranteed 72 hours.
• Monthly membership — US$9.99: daily readings and ten Mingcore questions per subscription period. Unused questions included in the membership expire at the end of that period and do not roll over.
• Single daily reading — US$1.99: one daily reading. Each account can receive only one member daily reading per local date; buying again cannot redraw it. Returning to that day’s result does not use another reading.
• Single Mingcore question — US$1.99: one new question. Separately purchased question credits have no scheduled expiry and do not expire merely because a membership period ends.

A question covers one matter, including the necessary details, clarification and corrections. A different matter is a new question. Failed attempts do not consume a question; retrying a failed attempt does not create an extra charge. Membership or trial questions are used before separately purchased questions when both are available.

Payments, cancellation and refunds

Waffo Pancake is the planned Merchant of Record and payment provider. It is not yet connected to MingSez checkout. If enabled, its payment terms and privacy information will be presented with the transaction. Do not send card details to MingSez support.

When paid subscriptions open, membership will cost US$9.99 per month and renew automatically unless cancelled. Recurring charges require your express authorization at checkout. The first period starts with the first successful payment; subsequent dates follow the billing periods returned by Waffo, including its handling of month-end dates. A month is not a fixed 30 days. Each successfully paid renewal provides ten questions for that new period, once; unused questions from the previous period expire.

Cancellation stops the next renewal and takes effect at the end of the current paid period. You keep that period’s access until then; separately purchased questions and saved readings are not cancelled. Cancellation is separate from a refund request. Customers who have paid through Waffo can use the Waffo customer portal with their checkout email and a sign-in link to request cancellation. MingSez has not opened paid checkout or connected subscription management to its accounts yet. Cancelling a subscription that is already awaiting payment recovery may stop that recovery rather than extend access beyond the paid period. Activating a free trial does not authorize any future payment.

If a renewal payment fails, the payment channel may retry once, usually the next day; Waffo itself does not make additional retries. While that payment is awaiting recovery, daily readings and saved history remain accessible, but a new allowance of ten questions is not issued and the previous period’s questions still expire. A recovered payment grants the new allowance for the billing period confirmed by Waffo. If recovery fails and the subscription is cancelled, membership daily access ends; saved history and separately purchased questions remain available. There is no additional guaranteed grace period.

When purchases become available, the first membership payment can be refunded if requested within seven days of payment and no paid membership benefits have been used. Using free-trial benefits does not count as using paid benefits. An unused purchase of a single daily reading or a single Mingcore question can be refunded. Duplicate charges or a purchase that was not delivered are also eligible for a refund. The first-payment seven-day rule does not create a new refund window for every renewal.

To request a refund, email support@mingsez.com with your account email, transaction reference and a description of the issue. Do not include payment-card details. Nothing in this policy removes any mandatory refund, withdrawal or other consumer rights that apply to you.

Acceptable use and content rights

Do not use the service for unlawful activity, harassment, fraud or infringement of another person’s rights. Do not attempt to access another account, bypass access or usage controls, interfere with the service, or present our readings as guaranteed professional findings.

MingSez’s original writing, design and software are protected by applicable intellectual-property law. Public-domain traditional texts remain public domain; credited third-party material retains its own rights and licence terms. You may use your readings for personal reference, but access to the site does not grant a licence to republish its original content commercially.

Closing an account and service changes

You can delete your account in My Ming → Account after confirming your current password. This permanently removes your account and associated saved application records; see the Privacy Policy for the limits of deletion, including delivered emails and provider records. Before subscriptions open, the account-deletion flow will be linked to subscription cancellation so that deleting the account also stops future renewal charges. This payment-provider link is not connected yet; deleting local account data alone is not evidence that a provider subscription has been cancelled.

We may restrict access where necessary to address misuse, protect accounts or comply with law. Features may change or be unavailable while we maintain the service. We do not promise uninterrupted availability, error-free calculations or accurate AI outputs. These statements do not exclude responsibility or remedies that cannot lawfully be excluded.

Questions, disputes and updates

Please contact support@mingsez.com with a description of any problem so we can investigate. This does not prevent you from using any complaint process, court or remedy available under applicable law. These terms do not impose mandatory arbitration or waive mandatory protections in your place of residence.

We will update the date on this page when these terms change. Material changes affecting account use or a future purchase will be brought to your attention through the service or an account email, with any notice or consent required by applicable law. A future payment remains subject to the terms presented before you authorize it.
