In short: some outbound links on this site are affiliate links. If you click one and then buy something, the retailer may pay us a small commission. The price you pay is exactly the same — you never pay more because of us, and a commission never buys a recommendation.
1. Why This Page Exists
BaguaChart is free to use. The birth chart calculator, the articles, and the hexagram library cost you nothing, and we do not require an account or a subscription. To keep it that way, the site is supported by display advertising and, from time to time, by affiliate commissions.
Whenever we have a commercial relationship with a product or shop we link to, we disclose it. This page does that plainly, in line with disclosure rules such as the United States Federal Trade Commission's Endorsement Guides (16 CFR Part 255) and comparable guidance elsewhere.
2. What an Affiliate Link Is
An affiliate link is an ordinary link that carries a tracking identifier. If you click it and go on to make a purchase, the retailer can tell that the visit came from us and pays us a referral commission. You are still buying directly from that retailer, under their terms, their pricing, and their returns policy — not from us.
We do not sell products ourselves, we do not handle your order, and we never see your payment details.
3. Programmes We Take Part In
BaguaChart takes part in affiliate advertising programmes. Where a link on this site is an affiliate link, it may belong to one of the following:
| Programme | What it covers |
|---|---|
| Amazon Services LLC Associates Program | An affiliate advertising programme designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com and its affiliated sites. As an Amazon Associate, we earn from qualifying purchases. |
| Other affiliate and partner programmes | We may also take part in other affiliate networks and direct partner programmes, for example with online marketplaces, bookshops, or retailers of culture-related goods. The same rules described on this page apply to all of them. |
If we join a new programme, it falls under this disclosure without the page needing a rewrite. We do not publish affiliate links to products we would not otherwise consider relevant to the topic you are reading about.
4. What This Means for You
| Through an affiliate link | |
|---|---|
| Price you pay | Identical to the normal retail price. The commission comes out of the retailer's margin, not your pocket. We never add a markup. |
| Who you are buying from | The retailer. Your order, delivery, warranty, and returns are handled by them and governed by their terms and privacy policy. |
| What we receive | A small percentage of the sale value, paid by the retailer. It supports the running costs of the site. |
| What we can see | Whether a purchase was attributed to our link, in aggregate. We never receive your name, payment details, or order contents. |
| Your obligation | None. You are free to ignore the link and buy the same product however you prefer. |
5. Editorial Independence
Commission never determines what we write. Specifically:
- A product, book, or shop is only linked to when it is genuinely relevant to the article you are reading;
- The commission rate does not influence whether something is included, how it is described, or where on the page it appears;
- We do not accept payment for a positive review, and we do not remove a link because a programme ends;
- Any paid placement or sponsored content, if it ever appears, will be labelled as sponsored and kept clearly separate from editorial content.
Our interpretive content follows the same standards described in our Terms of Service: it is cultural, educational, and for entertainment and self-reflection, not professional advice.
6. Prices, Availability and Third-Party Sites
Prices, stock levels, and product details change constantly and can differ by country and currency. Anything shown here is a snapshot at the time of writing. The retailer's own product page is always the authoritative source for the current price, what is included, delivery times, and returns.
We do not control third-party websites and are not responsible for their content, their availability, or their privacy and data practices. Once you follow a link away from baguachart.com, the destination site's own policies apply.
7. How to Spot an Affiliate Link
We do not want you to have to guess. Affiliate links on this site are marked in at least one of these ways:
- Carrying a
rel="sponsored"orrel="nofollow"attribute in the page source; - Sitting under a short note such as “affiliate link”, “ad”, or “sponsored” placed next to the link or the list it belongs to;
- Appearing inside a section that states it contains affiliate links;
- Or being covered by this page, which applies to the site as a whole.
8. Advertising and Analytics
Display advertising and affiliate links are separate things. The site shows ads served by third-party networks, which may use cookies as described in our Privacy Policy. Affiliate commissions are not advertising and do not influence ad placement.
The birth chart calculator itself remains unchanged by any of this: your birth details are calculated locally in your browser and are never uploaded, sold, or shared.

10. Changes to This Disclosure
If we join a new affiliate programme or change how links are labelled, we will update this page and the revision date below. Because this disclosure is part of the terms on which you use the site, we recommend checking it whenever you have a question about a link.
