TERMS OF SERVICE
(Effective Date: April 19, 2025)
Welcome to Palm Insights! We are pleased you’re visiting www.palminsights.com (the “Website”) to explore our online palm reading and astrological forecast services (collectively, the “Service”). Our goal is to provide insightful perspectives through personalized readings facilitated by experienced human readers.
These Terms of Service (“Terms”) create a legally binding agreement between you (“you” or “User”) and Palm Insights (“Palm Insights,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) regarding your access to and use of our Website and Service. Please read them carefully.
By accessing our Website, booking, creating an account (if applicable), or using our Service in any way, you acknowledge that you have read these Terms of Service, including our Privacy Policy and Refund Policy, and you agree to be bound by them. If you do not agree to these Terms, you should not use our Website or Service. Your continued use of the Service signifies your acceptance of these Terms.
01. Our Service: Human Insight, Not Exact Science
- Description: Palm Insights connects you with experienced human readers (operating as independent contractors) for interpretive insights primarily based on palmistry and astrology. While readers may use tools like astrological software for chart generation, all interpretations provided during your session are human-generated, not by AI or bots.
- Delivery: Services are primarily delivered via live, one-on-one video calls (e.g., Zoom, Google Meet). Follow-up questions may be handled via email per our procedures.
- Interpretive Nature: Palmistry, Astrology, Numerology, and Tarot are not exact sciences. The insights provided should be viewed as guidance for self-reflection rather than definitive answers or predictions. Readings are designed to reflect your own thought processes and perspectives, not to dictate your actions or choices. Every reading is subject to your personal interpretation.
- IMPORTANT: Entertainment Purposes Only: Please note that all the services, readings, and content we provide on our Website are offered “for entertainment purposes only” without any representations or warranties whatsoever. We recommend that you approach interpretations with an open mind but avoid taking them too literally or relying on them for critical life decisions (health, financial, legal, etc.). Our Service is NOT a substitute for qualified professional advice. Always consult appropriate professionals for such matters.
02. Eligibility: Adults Only
- Our Service is designed for and available only to individuals who are 18 years of age or older.
