Terms of service

1. Acceptance and scope

These terms form an agreement between you and the operator of Xitang (we, us or our) governing access to, registration for and use of the Xitang website, mini programs and related services. These terms, the business rules and instructions displayed in the service, and our other published policies together govern your use.

If you disagree with any part of these terms, stop using the relevant services. When using the service on behalf of a minor, ensure that you have their guardian’s consent.

2. Our services

Xitang provides invitation template browsing, online editing, image and text uploads, event page creation, sharing, attendance responses and related features. The features available are those shown in the service at the time of use.

Some features may be provided by, or redirect to, third parties. Your use of those services is also subject to the third party’s terms and privacy rules.

3. Accounts and security

Register or sign in using a lawful and valid method, and provide accurate, complete and truthful information.

Protect your account, sign-in credentials and devices. To the extent permitted by law, actions performed through your account are treated as actions performed by you.

If you discover unauthorized use or another security risk, promptly contact us through the support channels published in the service.

You may request account closure through the path provided in the product. The closure page explains the outcome, content handling and effects on your entitlements. Back up any content you need before proceeding.

4. Acceptable use

Comply with applicable laws, public order, good morals and platform rules. You must not:

Create, upload, publish or distribute unlawful, infringing, false, harassing, obscene or other content that harms another person’s lawful rights; impersonate others; or collect, disclose or use their personal information, likeness, works or other materials without authorization.

Interfere with normal operation, bypass security measures, make malicious requests, scrape automatically, reverse engineer the service or distribute malware.

Resell, rent, reproduce in bulk or otherwise commercially misuse the service, templates or related resources without our written permission, or engage in other conduct contrary to law, these terms or our or a third party’s lawful rights.

Depending on the risk of a violation, we may issue warnings, restrict features, suspend or terminate service, remove unlawful content, retain records or report to the competent authorities as required by law.

5. Your content and permission

You are responsible for the text, images, audio, video and other content you upload, enter or publish. You must own the necessary rights or have sufficient authorization, and must not infringe another person’s intellectual property, likeness, reputation, privacy or other lawful rights.

You retain the rights you lawfully hold in your content. To provide storage, editing, generation, display, sharing, review and security, you grant us permission to use, copy, process, reformat, display and transmit that content only as necessary for the service. This does not change ownership. The permission ends when its service purpose is fulfilled or the content is lawfully deleted, except where law provides otherwise.

An invitation may contain names, photographs, contact details and event dates or locations relating to you or others. Obtain the relevant people’s consent before uploading or publishing, and control who receives the invitation.

6. Intellectual property

Except for content in which users lawfully hold rights, the programs, interfaces, layouts, trademarks, logos, template designs and other Xitang content belong to us or the relevant rights holders. Use them only within the normal features and permissions of the service.

Fonts, images, music and other template assets may be subject to separate licenses. Observe the displayed restrictions. Do not extract, copy, sublicense or use them outside the permitted scope.

7. Changes, interruption and termination

We continually improve the service and may change, suspend or discontinue features because of business adjustments, maintenance, security risks, force majeure or legal requirements. Where changes may significantly affect your rights, we will give reasonable notice through announcements, in-product notifications or another appropriate channel.

Back up work and materials you wish to retain. Unless required by law, we do not promise permanent storage of user content.

8. Responsibility and liability

We take reasonable measures required by law to maintain service stability and data security. Internet services may be affected by networks, device failures, third-party services and force majeure. To the extent permitted by law, we are not liable for interruptions or losses beyond our reasonable control and will make efforts to restore service.

Once you share an invitation link, recipients may forward it, take screenshots or use it in ways beyond our control. Choose your content and recipients carefully. You bear the responsibility prescribed by law for disputes or losses caused by your content, actions or breach of these terms.

These limitations do not apply to personal injury caused by our intentional misconduct or gross negligence, and do not exclude or restrict any liability that applicable law does not permit us to exclude or restrict.

9. Protection of minors

Minors must use the service with a guardian’s guidance and consent. Guardians should explain online security and privacy risks and supervise use appropriately. If we discover that a minor’s personal information was collected without the required guardian consent, we will act in accordance with law.

10. Updates to these terms

We may update these terms as services or legal requirements change. Updated terms will appear here with an updated date. We will draw significant changes affecting your rights or obligations to your attention in a reasonable and prominent way. Continued use after an update takes effect constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.

11. Governing law and disputes

The formation, performance, interpretation and dispute resolution of these terms are governed by the laws of mainland China. The parties should first seek an amicable resolution. If that fails, a claim may be brought before a people’s court with jurisdiction in accordance with law.

12. Contact us

For questions, feedback or complaints about these terms or the service, use the support channels published in Xitang. After verifying your identity and the issue, we will respond within the period required by law or a reasonable time.
