Why Return Policies Don't Apply Here
1 Consumer Protection Laws Apply to Purchases Only
In Austria and throughout the European Union, consumer protection regulations—including the Consumer Rights Directive and national implementations—provide return and exchange rights for purchases of goods and services. These protections exist to protect buyers from merchants.
Since Healthycookingbasics conducts no sales, accepts no payments, and engages in no buyer-seller relationships, these consumer protections are not applicable. There is nothing to return because no transaction occurred.
2 We Are an Information Platform, Not a Store
Healthycookingbasics operates as an informational and educational resource—similar to an online magazine or library. We publish articles, guides, and educational content to help people learn about healthy cooking practices.
Information platforms do not offer refunds, exchanges, or returns because access to information is not a purchasable good. You can read our content for free, stop reading at any time, or seek information elsewhere without any financial implication.
3 No Payments Mean No Refunds
All content on this website is permanently free. We do not process payments, charge fees, or accept subscriptions. Since no money changes hands, there is nothing to refund and no "refund process" to describe.
Access to our educational materials is available to anyone without cost, commitment, or account requirement. You can access, use, or abandon the content at any time with zero financial consequences.
4 Content Remains Permanently Available
Our articles, guides, and educational materials are published once and remain available indefinitely on this website. You are not purchasing temporary access or a limited-time product. All content is freely accessible whenever you visit.
There is no expiration date, no subscription renewal, and no need to "return" or "exchange" access. You can access the same materials months or years after your first visit without any additional steps.
