Statement of Work
Ref: 2026-001 • Standard Business Template
Overview
The Tarot Reader provides services that are strictly for spiritual, educational, and entertainment purposes, and under no circumstances should these readings be interpreted as financial, legal, or medical advice. By signing this agreement, the Client acknowledges that the Reader is not a licensed therapist or professional advisor and that the Client is solely responsible for any actions taken based on the information provided during the session. The Reader makes no guarantees regarding the outcome of any reading or the accuracy of future predictions, as tarot is a tool for reflection rather than a definitive roadmap.
Compensation for services is due in full prior to the start of the reading, and this fee covers the specific time slot and intellectual labor involved in the interpretation. The Client agrees to indemnify and hold the Reader harmless from any claims or damages resulting from the use or misuse of the information provided during the session. Furthermore, the contents of the reading are confidential between the Reader and the Client, though the Reader reserves the right to use anonymized data or card patterns for educational or promotional purposes unless otherwise specified in writing.
Chargebacks Based on Accuracy
Clients may demand their money back weeks later because a specific prediction did not manifest within their expected timeframe.
The Infinite Follow-Up
Clients frequently text or email additional questions for days after the session ends under the guise of clarifying the cards.
Platform Payment Processing
Losing access to payment processors if the service is not properly described as a professional consulting service rather than fortune telling.
What is a Tarot Reader contract?
A Tarot Reader contract template is a professional service agreement that outlines the scope of a reading, payment terms, and liability disclaimers. It protects practitioners from chargebacks and scope creep by defining the reading as an interpretive service rather than a guaranteed outcome, ensuring the reader is compensated for their time.
Built from real freelance projects
This template is based on real-world scenarios across freelance projects where unclear scope, missing payment terms, and revision creep led to lost revenue. It is designed to protect your time, define expectations, and ensure you get paid.
Why Tarot Readers need a clear contract
Tarot reading is often viewed as a spiritual gift rather than a professional service, which leads clients to feel entitled to your time beyond the session. Without a contract, the line between a paid reading and a personal friendship blurs. A written agreement codifies the session into a business transaction and protects your schedule from the infinite follow-up message. It ensures you get paid for the preparation time, the live session, and any post-reading summaries. It also prevents chargebacks from clients who claim they did not like the prediction. In a field where deliverables are highly subjective, a contract establishes exactly what the client is buying which is your time and your expertise in the system. This professionalizes your practice and filters out seekers who might ghost your Zoom link or refuse to pay the invoice after the cards are on the table.
Real-world scenario
Imagine a reader who books a session via Instagram DM for one hundred and fifty dollars without a formal agreement. The client shows up fifteen minutes late to the Zoom call and the session runs over by thirty minutes because the client is in an emotional crisis. After the call, the reader spends another hour typing up a detailed summary and takes photos of the ten card Celtic Cross spread. Two days later, the client emails three more questions about their career. The reader answers them to be helpful. A week later, the client opens a dispute with their credit card company, claiming the service was not as described because a predicted job offer did not manifest immediately. Because the reader had no written terms of service and no signed agreement regarding the subjective nature of tarot, the payment processor sides with the client. The reader loses the money, the chargeback fee, and over four hours of labor. A simple contract with a no refunds for completed sessions clause would have saved her business.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are the results of a tarot reading legally binding or guaranteed to manifest?
No, all readings are for entertainment purposes only and carry no guarantee of accuracy; the client remains responsible for their own decisions.
Can I request a refund if the reading does not resonate with my current situation?
Fees are paid for the reader's time, preparation, and intuitive labor; therefore, all sales are final once the reading has commenced or the report is delivered.
