Returns & Exchanges Policy
Understanding why this policy does not apply to our free educational platform
⚠️ Important Notice
This website is an informational and educational platform. We do not process payments, sell products, or offer paid services. Therefore, standard returns and exchanges policies do not apply to this site.
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.
1 No Sales, No Products, No Returns
- No Commercial Transactions: Healthy Cooking Academy is a free educational website. We do not sell courses, meal plans, supplements, or any physical products.
- Free Access to Content: All articles, recipes, cooking guides, and educational materials are available at no cost. There is no purchase, no invoice, and no refund process.
- Nothing to Exchange: Since there are no products or services purchased, there is nothing to return, exchange, or refund. This policy exists only for transparency and legal clarity.
- Permanent Free Access: Educational content posted on this site remains freely accessible to all visitors. You may bookmark, read, and reference any article or recipe at any time without restriction.
2 How We Are Different from Online Stores
Traditional Online Store
- Accepts payment for products or services
- Sells physical goods or digital products
- Provides 14-day return window (EU standard)
- Processes refunds to original payment method
- Subject to consumer protection laws
Healthy Cooking Academy
- No payments processed — everything is free
- Educational content and recipes only
- No purchase window — no return period needed
- No refunds because there were no charges
- Educational exemption — not subject to sales law
Key Difference:
Return and exchange policies under consumer protection laws (such as the EU Consumer Rights Directive) apply to paid transactions. Since we do not charge for access to our educational content, these regulations do not create any obligations for us, and no returns policy is applicable.
