Returns & Exchanges Policy
This page explains why a traditional returns policy does not apply to our platform. We are an informational resource, not a commercial store.
The information on this site is for educational purposes only and does not constitute medical advice. Always consult a qualified healthcare professional before making health decisions.
Important Notice
A returns and exchanges policy does not apply to this website. We do not process purchases, sell physical products, or charge fees for any services. All content on this platform is provided freely and permanently.
Since there are no commercial transactions, no payments, and no goods exchanged, the consumer protection laws governing product returns and refunds do not apply here. You have free, unlimited access to all our educational content 24/7.
If you have questions about our policies or editorial content, please refer to the sections below or contact our team through the appropriate channels.
Why We Have No Returns Policy
We Are an Informational Platform
This website provides free educational content about nutrition and wellness. We are not a retailer, service provider, or merchant. We do not engage in buyer-seller relationships or accept payment for access to our articles, guides, and resources.
No Transactions Mean No Returns
Consumer protection laws regarding returns, exchanges, and refunds apply exclusively to commercial purchases. Since we do not process payments, issue receipts, or deliver physical products or services, these laws are not applicable. There is nothing to return because nothing was purchased.
All Content is Permanently Free
Every article, guide, and resource on our platform is accessible to you at no cost, at any time, for as long as you wish. There are no hidden fees, no subscription charges, and no paywalls. Free access means no financial obligation and therefore no refund mechanism.
How We Differ From Online Stores
| Feature | Traditional Online Store | Foodbalanceadviser |
|---|---|---|
| Payment Required | Yes | No |
| Return Window (14 days) | Applies | Does Not Apply |
| Product Exchange | Available | Not Applicable |
| Refund Process | Available | No Refunds (No Payment) |
| Buyer-Seller Relationship | Yes | No |
| Consumer Protection Laws Apply | Yes | No |
The fundamental difference is simple: online retailers engage in commercial transactions. You pay for a product or service, and in exchange, consumer protection laws give you the right to return it within a specified period if you are unsatisfied. Our platform operates differently. There is no transaction, no exchange of money, and therefore no need for a return or refund mechanism.

Why No Refunds Are Possible
Refunds apply only to financial transactions. Since we do not accept payment and do not charge for any content or service, there is nothing to refund.

If you have concerns about content accuracy or relevance, we welcome your editorial feedback, but a refund process simply does not exist here because there was no purchase.
