Returns & Exchanges Policy

A Transparent Explanation of Why This Policy Does Not Apply to Our Platform

Important Notice

This website is an informational and editorial platform dedicated to children's nutrition guidance. We do not conduct commercial transactions, sell products, offer paid services, or accept payments. Therefore, a traditional returns and exchanges policy does not apply to this platform.

Why Returns & Exchanges Do Not Apply

Balanced Food Bookings operates as a free informational resource for parents, educators, and caregivers seeking knowledge about pediatric nutrition. All content available on this platform—including articles, guides, tips, and educational materials—is provided at no cost and without any commercial transaction.

Since there are no sales, no products purchased, and no payments exchanged between you and our organization, consumer protection laws regarding returns and exchanges simply do not apply. You cannot return or exchange something that was never bought.

All content remains permanently accessible to all users. There is no subscription requirement, no purchase receipt, and no refund process—because no purchase ever occurred.

The Distinction: Informational Platform vs. Online Store

Consumer protection laws, including return and exchange rights, were designed to protect buyers in commercial transactions. These laws apply when:

A product or service is sold in exchange for payment
A buyer-seller relationship exists
A consumer receives a good or service they paid for
A refund or exchange may be warranted due to defect or dissatisfaction

Balanced Food Bookings does none of these. We operate as an editorial and educational platform where visitors freely access nutritional information and guidance. There is no buyer-seller relationship, no transaction, and no payment. Therefore, return policies are inapplicable.

Provides 14-day return period (EU standard)

Balanced Food Bookings (Informational)
