Payment Policy

Payments are processed by Dodo Payments, which acts as the merchant of record for every order on this site. That means Dodo is the seller of record: it takes the payment, calculates and remits any sales tax or VAT that applies to your country, and issues the receipt.

Your card details never reach this website. They are entered on Dodo's checkout and handled by Dodo and its payment processors. The charge on your statement is from Dodo Payments, not from Way & Virtue.

Because Dodo is the merchant of record, the terms that apply to the transaction itself — tax treatment, invoicing, and the refund channel — are Dodo's. Our own terms cover what we deliver and how we support you.

One product only: the full 81-chapter bilingual reader on this site, sold as a single one-time purchase for US$15.99.

• One-time. There is no subscription, no recurring charge, and no stored billing agreement.
• No account. You do not register, and you do not create a password. Access is unlocked by the return link you receive after checkout.
• Not a physical book. Nothing is shipped. The product is a web page you can read online and print or save as a PDF from your browser.

The free pages of this site — the translation comparison, the Taoism guide, the choosing guide, the side-by-side demo chapters, and the I Ching generator — remain free and are not affected by a purchase.

All prices are shown in US dollars. The amount displayed at checkout is the amount you pay; any applicable tax is calculated by Dodo at that point according to your billing country and is shown before you confirm.

We may change the price of the product in future. A change never affects an order that has already been completed.

Delivery is immediate and digital. After a successful payment, Dodo returns you to a page on this site with an unlock code in the address. Opening that link unlocks the reader in your browser, and the unlock is remembered on that device.

If the return page does not open, or the reader still asks you to pay, email [email protected] with the order confirmation you received from Dodo. We will send a working unlock link, normally within two business days.

If you clear your browser storage or change device, you can reuse the original unlock link. Keep the Dodo receipt: it is the proof of purchase we ask for when reissuing a link.

This site runs no accounts and keeps no customer database. We do not receive or store your name, address, card number, or any other payment detail.

Dodo holds the transaction record as merchant of record, subject to its own privacy terms and to tax and accounting rules. On your side, the unlock is stored in your browser's local storage so you do not have to re-enter anything on the same device.

If a payment is declined, no money is taken and no access is granted; you can retry with another method. If your bank shows a charge but the reader was never unlocked, email us with the Dodo receipt and we will either unlock the reader or ask Dodo to reverse the charge.

For anything about an order, the reader, or a broken unlock link: [email protected]. Include the email address you used at checkout and the Dodo order or payment reference if you have it. We aim to reply within two business days.

Refunds are governed by our Refund Policy.

We may update this page to reflect changes in how the product is sold or delivered. The date at the top shows the current version. The version in force for your order is the one published when you bought.
