Returns & Exchanges Policy
Understanding why this informational platform has no returns policy
Important Notice
This website is an informational and editorial platform. We do not conduct any commercial transactions, accept payments, or sell products or services. Therefore, a standard returns and exchanges policy does not apply. All content on this site is provided free of charge and remains accessible to all users without restriction.
Why We Have No Returns Policy
Standard returns and exchanges policies exist to protect consumers who purchase products or services. These policies are mandated by consumer protection laws in countries around the world, including Belgium, where our editorial team is based.
Since Dietwellnesscore operates as a free informational platform with no commercial transactions, no products for sale, and no payment processing, the legal framework requiring returns policies simply does not apply to us.
When you access our content, you are not entering into a buyer-seller relationship. You are reading freely available educational material that we provide at no cost, with no obligation to purchase anything or commit to any service.

Legal Clarity on Consumer Protection Laws
When Returns Policies Are Required
In Belgium and across the European Union, consumer protection regulations (including the Consumer Rights Directive 2011/83/EU) mandate that sellers of goods or services offer a right of withdrawal. This typically applies for 14 days from the date of purchase or service delivery. However, these laws explicitly apply only to consumer contracts involving payment and delivery of merchandise or services.
Why This Does Not Apply Here
Since we do not collect payment, do not deliver products, and do not provide paid services, there is no consumer contract and therefore no statutory right of withdrawal. Our content is provided as free educational material, similar to information found in public libraries, encyclopedias, or news websites — no transaction occurs, and no refund mechanism is relevant.
Your Rights as a Visitor
As a visitor to our site, your rights and responsibilities differ from those of a customer in a traditional e-commerce scenario. You have the right to access, read, and use our free content. You are not bound by any purchase agreement, subscription contract, or service terms that would trigger consumer protection obligations.
