THE RIVER MATRIX · 河洛观象
Legal Notice & Cultural Disclaimer
Updated and effective:
Updated 10 September 2026. This notice identifies the limits of the River Matrix experience and explains the current status of business disclosures. It should be read alongside the Terms of Service & Purchase and Privacy Notice. It is not a statement that the website or its operator has been certified, licensed or approved for every market.
1. Brand and operator information
Xiaoqi Yuan (袁骁祺) operates this website under the trading name River Matrix. Business form: individual operation based in mainland China. River Matrix is a trading name, not a claim of incorporation.
Contact address: No. 666, Tongfeng Road, Shanghai, China. Telephone: +8613636420063. Customer support: yuanqitmas@gmail.com.
Only plans shown as available at checkout can be purchased. Monthly and annual sales remain closed until the promised ongoing services and applicable tea-set delivery arrangements are ready. The information above describes the operator and does not represent certification or approval for every market.
2. What the symbols mean
The experience draws on the I Ching, the He Tu and Luo Shu, seasonal imagery, the heavenly stems and earthly branches, and wider Chinese literary traditions. Our compositions and accompanying reflections are contemporary interpretations. We do not claim that an image is an authenticated historical talisman, a religious authorization, an objectively accurate divination, or a reconstruction of one universally accepted classical method.
Information such as place, mood, weather and submission time may influence an automated composition and its selection of text. These relationships are design choices, not scientific evidence that circumstances or celestial events determine your future. Any weather or astronomical information may have source, timing or availability limitations. Interpretations may repeat themes, and different users may encounter similarities.
3. Reflection, not professional advice
No reading predicts or guarantees health, wealth, relationships, legal outcomes, safety or good fortune. The service does not diagnose or treat illness and is not a substitute for medical, psychological, financial, legal or other qualified professional advice. Do not delay appropriate care, make a high-stakes decision or disregard reliable evidence because of a reading.
Use the experience voluntarily and take breaks whenever you wish. More purchases do not produce a more reliable answer or change the probability of a desired event. The daily limit is an access limit, not a recommendation to purchase repeatedly. If content feels upsetting or unhelpful, leave the experience and seek support appropriate to your circumstances.
4. Sources and intellectual property
Classical passages should be distinguished from our translations, adaptations and commentary. A source citation identifies the work used; it does not imply endorsement by its authors, scholars, custodians or a religious community. Short translations can carry different interpretations. Contact support with the passage and source if you identify a misquotation or inaccurate attribution.
We claim no exclusive ownership of ancient ideas, public-domain classical texts, traditional symbols or another person's rights. Contemporary translations, photographs, illustrations, code and layout may have separate rights. You may save your generated reading and share it for personal, non-commercial purposes, including through the available social-sharing tools, subject to third-party rights. Access does not grant an exclusive design or a licence to resell the site's content or brand.
5. External services and fair responsibility
Payments, email delivery, hosting and external social platforms involve independent providers with their own terms and privacy practices. Their names identify the services used and do not imply sponsorship. We cannot guarantee uninterrupted access or the delivery of a message to a particular inbox, but remain responsible for our own promises and for remedies required when a paid service is not supplied as agreed.
Nothing in this notice excludes liability that cannot lawfully be excluded, including responsibility for fraud or other protected claims. It does not waive statutory guarantees, permit us to retain money for undelivered obligations without a lawful basis, or prevent a consumer from using lawful complaints, dispute procedures or courts.
6. Applicable protections and contact
Mandatory rights may depend on where a consumer resides and how the service is offered there. These notices do not replace applicable law or impose exclusive foreign courts, mandatory private arbitration or a waiver of class or collective remedies. If a provision cannot be enforced, the remaining terms operate only as permitted by law. For complaints, rights questions or content corrections, contact yuanqitmas@gmail.com or use the relevant request route on this website.
