Returns & Exchanges Policy
This page clarifies our approach to returns and exchanges — and why standard return policies do not 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
Dietbalanceguide is an informational and editorial platform. We do not sell products, accept payments, or offer paid services. Therefore, standard return and exchange policies do not apply. All content is free and permanently accessible to our users.
What Does This Mean?
No Sales, No Returns
Since Dietbalanceguide does not conduct commercial transactions, there are no products to return or exchange. Our entire content library — nutrition guides, personalized diet information, wellness articles, and expert advice — is provided free of charge and accessible 24/7.
No Payments, No Refunds
Because there are no financial transactions, refund processing is not applicable. Users access our content at no cost and can discontinue use at any time without any financial consequence.
Free & Unrestricted Access
All nutrition plans, dietary recommendations, expert articles, and wellness resources on Dietbalanceguide remain free. You can access, review, bookmark, and share our content as you wish, with no subscription fees or hidden charges.
Why We Have No Returns Policy
Standard consumer protection laws regarding returns, exchanges, and refunds are designed for commercial transactions — when a customer buys a product or service from a seller and needs protection if the purchase is defective or unsatisfactory.
We Are Not a Commercial Store
Dietbalanceguide is an informational platform. We publish educational content about nutrition, diet planning, and wellness. There is no buyer-seller relationship, no purchase agreement, and no product delivery.
Consumer Laws Do Not Apply
Consumer protection regulations (such as Romania's Law 34/1988 or EU Consumer Rights Directive) require merchants to offer return periods and exchange options for purchases. Since we make no sales, these regulations do not apply to our platform.
No Transaction = No Refund
Refunds are processed only when money has been received. Our users pay nothing to access our content, so there is nothing to refund. You can stop using our platform at any time without any financial obligation.
This is fundamental: a return policy is meaningless without a prior purchase. On Dietbalanceguide, there is no prior purchase.
How We Differ from Traditional Online Stores
To illustrate the difference, here is what a typical online retailer must provide:
Traditional Store: 14-Day Return Period
Most online shops allow customers 14 days (or local equivalent) to return unopened or unused products for a full refund.
Dietbalanceguide: We offer no return period because there are no products and no purchases.
Traditional Store: Exchange Options
If a product arrives damaged or defective, retailers must exchange it for a working replacement at no extra cost.
Dietbalanceguide: We provide digital content, not physical products. Our articles, guides, and nutrition information cannot be "defective" in a commercial sense; they are editorially reviewed and updated continuously.
Traditional Store: Money-Back Guarantees
Premium retailers often offer satisfaction guarantees: if you are unhappy, you get your money back.
Dietbalanceguide: There is no money to return because you never paid. Our content is free.
Dietbalanceguide: Permanent Free Access
All articles, guides, nutrition information, and expert advice remain free and accessible forever. You can visit, read, revisit, and share our content without restriction or cost.
The fundamental difference: online retailers receive money upfront and must protect the buyer. We receive no money, so buyer protection laws do not apply. What we offer instead is transparency and permanent access.
