Risk Disclosure

1. Nature of the Service

Vestara combines traditional Chinese metaphysics — including Zhou Yi (I-Ching), Five Elements (Wu Xing), Four Pillars (Ba Zi), Heavenly Stems, Earthly Branches, and Plum Blossom numerology (Meihua Yishu) — with publicly available financial market data.

The metaphysical analysis is rooted in ancient philosophical frameworks dating back over 3,000 years. These frameworks should be understood as cultural research and pattern-recognition systems, not as scientific predictive models for financial markets.

2. No Guarantee of Results

• Historical resonance patterns do not predict future market performance.
• Compatibility scores (0–100) are metaphysical assessments, not investment ratings or recommendations.
• Ratings such as "Auspicious" (大吉), "Favorable" (中吉), "Neutral" (小吉), "Unfavorable" (不利), and "Inauspicious" (大凶) describe cosmological resonance, not financial outlook.
• AI-generated narrative reports are interpretive syntheses, not prescriptive guidance.

3. Market Risks

• All trading and investing involves risk of financial loss, including the potential loss of your entire principal.
• Financial markets are volatile and can move against your position rapidly and without warning.
• Past performance — of any security, index, or analysis method — does not guarantee future results.
• Macro-economic events, regulatory changes, and geopolitical developments can affect markets in unpredictable ways.

4. AI-Generated Content Disclaimer

Analysis reports are generated by artificial intelligence (large language models). While we strive for quality, AI outputs may:

• Contain factual errors, inaccuracies, or "hallucinated" information.
• Misinterpret or oversimplify complex financial situations.
• Present correlations or narratives that lack scientific or empirical basis.

Always independently verify any claims, figures, or assertions found in generated reports before acting on them.

5. Third-Party Data

Market data displayed in analyses is sourced from third-party providers:

• Finnhub for US market data (stock quotes, company profiles, financial metrics, news).
• EastMoney for Chinese A-share market data.

We do not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, or timeliness of this data. Market data may be delayed, incomplete, or contain errors from the source provider.
