Terms of Use

Acceptance of These Terms

By accessing or using Kiwanaru (the "Site"), you agree to these Terms of Use. If you do not agree, please do not use the Site. These terms apply to everyone who visits the Site, anywhere in the world.

The Service

Kiwanaru is a free, ad-supported website operated from South Korea. It offers a Korean Saju (사주) reading tool and related articles about Korean culture. There are no accounts, no payments, and no purchases. We may change, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Site at any time without notice.

Entertainment Only — Not Professional Advice

Saju readings on this Site are for entertainment and personal self-reflection only. They are not medical, mental health, legal, financial, or any other kind of professional advice, and they do not predict events. For details, see our Disclaimer. For any consequential decision, consult a qualified professional.

"As Is" — No Warranties

The Site and everything on it are provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, we disclaim all warranties, including those of accuracy, reliability, fitness for a particular purpose, and uninterrupted or error-free operation. We do not guarantee that any reading, calculation, or content is correct, complete, or current.

Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Kiwanaru and anyone involved in operating it will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, special, or punitive damages, or for any loss arising from your use of — or inability to use — the Site or its content. You use the Site at your own risk and remain responsible for your own decisions.

Acceptable Use

You agree not to misuse the Site. In particular, do not: use it for any unlawful purpose; attempt to disrupt, overload, or gain unauthorized access to it; scrape, harvest, or bulk-copy its content by automated means; or reverse-engineer or interfere with how it works.

Intellectual Property

The content on this Site — text, design, code, and graphics — belongs to Kiwanaru unless stated otherwise. You may view and share it for personal, non-commercial use. You may not republish, sell, or redistribute it without our permission.

Third-Party Links and Advertising

The Site may display advertising (including Google AdSense) and may link to third-party websites. We do not control and are not responsible for third-party content, products, or practices. Visiting third-party sites is at your own risk and subject to their own terms and policies.

Privacy

Your use of the Site is also governed by our Privacy Policy, which explains how data is handled. In short: your birth data is calculated in your browser and is never sent to or stored on our servers.

Changes to These Terms

We may update these terms from time to time. When we do, we will revise the date at the top of this page. Continued use of the Site after a change means you accept the revised terms.

Governing Law and Disputes

These terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of Korea, and any dispute relating to the Site or these terms is subject to the jurisdiction of the courts of the Republic of Korea. This does not deprive you of any protection granted by the mandatory consumer-protection laws of your country of residence, which continue to apply where they cannot be waived by agreement — including, where those laws so provide, your right to bring or defend proceedings in the courts of your own country.

Before starting any formal proceeding, we ask that you first contact us so we can try to resolve the matter informally. Most concerns can be settled this way.
