Returns & Exchanges Policy
Transparency about what this policy covers — and why it doesn't apply to our platform
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
This site is an informational and educational platform. We do not conduct any commercial transactions, sell products, or offer paid services. Therefore, a traditional returns and exchanges policy does not apply. All content is free and permanently accessible.
Why This Policy Does Not Apply
Healthy Cooking Basics is an informational and educational platform dedicated to sharing knowledge about nutrition and cooking. We are not a commercial online store, and we do not conduct any sales or financial transactions with visitors.
Since there are no purchases, payments, or products exchanged on this platform, traditional consumer protection laws regarding returns and exchanges do not apply. There is nothing to return, exchange, or refund because no commercial transaction has taken place.
All educational content, recipes, articles, and guides available on this site are offered free of charge and permanently accessible. Access to this information requires no payment and creates no buyer-seller relationship.
Understanding the Difference
Return and exchange policies exist to protect consumers who have purchased products or services. These policies are a legal requirement in most jurisdictions because they address buyer protection in commercial transactions.
Key elements of standard return policies include:
- Return windows (typically 14–30 days)
- Refund processes and timelines
- Exchange options for defective items
- Return shipping arrangements
None of these apply here because there have been no purchases. You are not a customer in a commercial sense — you are a visitor accessing free educational content.
