Terms and Conditions

Last updated: September 17, 2026

These Terms and Conditions apply to your use of taoist-world.com and purchases from Taoist World. Please read them together with the product information shown at checkout and our Shipping Policy, Return & Refund Policy, and Privacy Policy.

1. About Taoist World

Taoist World is a China local team. You can contact us at [email protected].

Our business address is Dongzhai 2-24, Dongzhaizitou Community, Xiazhuang Subdistrict, Chengyang District, Qingdao City, Shandong Province, China. This is not an authorized return address; please contact us for return instructions before sending an item back.

2. Using Our Website

You agree to use our website lawfully and not to interfere with its operation, attempt unauthorized access, or misuse its content or services. If you place an order on behalf of another person, you must be authorized to provide the information needed for that order.

We may update or temporarily suspend website features for maintenance, security, or other operational reasons.

3. Products and Descriptions

We aim to describe our products accurately, including their materials, measurements, customization options, and other important characteristics. Please review the relevant product page and your order details before paying. If you have a question about an item, contact us before ordering.

Natural materials and handcrafted work may show differences in color, pattern, texture, or finish. Screen settings may also affect how colors appear. These normal variations do not change the product description or limit your rights if an item is faulty or materially different from what was ordered.

For made-to-measure items, please provide accurate measurements and customization instructions. Contact us promptly if you notice an error. We will tell you whether a change is still possible based on the stage of preparation.

4. Selection and Consecration

Physical items sold by Taoist World are personally selected by Taoist Priest Shanxu. After an order is placed, Taoist Priest Weiqingshan personally performs a consecration for the customer’s item before shipment. The ceremony is prepared using the recipient’s name, country, and city; the full delivery address is not provided to the priest for this purpose.

Consecration is part of our Taoist tradition and the preparation of the item. We do not promise any particular spiritual, medical, financial, or other personal outcome. Our products and website content are not substitutes for professional medical, legal, or financial advice.

5. Prices, Payment, and Orders

The product price, currency, and any applicable charges are shown during checkout before you place an order. Standard shipping is included in the prices of physical products for destinations supported at checkout, with no minimum order value. Any import duties, customs charges, or taxes assessed by destination authorities are separate unless collected at checkout or stated otherwise.

Payment options available to you are shown at checkout. Payments are handled through PayPal, including card-payment options available through PayPal. We begin preparing an order after payment is confirmed.

If we discover that an item is unavailable or that a material pricing or description error affects your order, we will contact you to explain the issue. We will not charge an increased price without your agreement. If the order cannot proceed, we will provide a refund to the original payment method.

6. Preparation, Shipping, and Delivery

Standard orders are usually prepared and dispatched within 1–3 business days after payment confirmation. Custom orders, including made-to-measure ritual implements and their personalized consecration, are usually prepared and dispatched within 5–10 business days after payment confirmation.

Transit time begins after dispatch and varies by destination, shipping route, customs processing, and local delivery conditions. Preparation and transit times are separate. Estimated times are not guaranteed arrival dates.

We provide tracking information after dispatch. The carrier and local delivery partner may vary by destination. Delivery is available only to destinations and addresses supported at checkout. For more information, see our Shipping Policy.

7. Cancellations, Returns, and Refunds

You may request to cancel a physical-product order before the parcel is handed to the shipping carrier. This applies even if the item has already been made or consecrated. If we receive your cancellation request before dispatch, we will cancel the order and provide a full refund to your original payment method.

Every physical item is consecrated before shipment. Once an order has been dispatched, we do not offer voluntary change-of-mind returns for consecrated items. This does not limit any cancellation, withdrawal, return, warranty, or refund rights that apply under the law in your location.

If an item is faulty, damaged, different from what you ordered, or does not arrive, contact us at [email protected] with your order number. We will review the issue and provide an appropriate remedy in accordance with your applicable consumer rights. Please see our Return & Refund Policy for the full process.

8. Services and Gift Cards

Consultations, other services, and gift cards are not physical products and are not covered by the physical-product preparation and delivery estimates above. Any product-specific terms shown before purchase also apply. Mandatory consumer rights remain unaffected.

9. Intellectual Property and Third-Party Links

Unless otherwise stated, the text, photographs, videos, branding, and other original content on this website belong to Taoist World or are used with permission. You may view the site for personal shopping and information. Please do not copy, republish, or commercially use our content without permission.

Our website may link to websites operated by others. Those websites have their own content and policies, which you should review when visiting them.

10. Privacy

Our Privacy Policy explains how we collect and use personal information, including information needed for orders, delivery, customer communication, and personalized consecration.

11. Problems and Applicable Rights

If you have a problem with an order or our service, please email [email protected] so we can investigate and try to resolve it.

These Terms do not exclude or restrict consumer rights that cannot legally be excluded. Where mandatory consumer-protection rules in your location provide greater protection than these Terms, those rules take precedence.

12. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms by posting a revised version on this page and changing the “Last updated” date. Changes to the Terms will not retroactively alter the terms of an order already placed unless required by law or agreed with you.
