Returns & Exchanges Policy
A transparent explanation of why this page exists — and why it doesn't apply to us
Important Notice
Foodmoodscience is an informational and editorial platform. We do not sell physical products, offer paid services, or accept payments of any kind. Therefore, this returns and exchanges policy does not apply to us. All content on our site is permanently free and accessible to everyone, 24/7.
Why We Have No Returns Policy
A returns policy exists to protect consumers who have purchased goods or services. Since Foodmoodscience does not conduct any commercial transactions, there are no purchases to return or exchange.
We Are Not a Store
Foodmoodscience publishes free, educational articles about nutrients and mood. We do not manufacture, stock, or sell physical products or services.
No Payments Accepted
There are no checkout pages, payment forms, credit card charges, or financial transactions on this site. Everything is free.
No Buyer-Seller Relationship
Consumer protection laws that mandate returns policies apply only when there is a purchase transaction between a seller and a buyer. Since there is no transaction, these laws do not apply.
Permanent Free Access
All articles, guides, and resources published on Foodmoodscience are permanently free. You can access, read, and share them as much as you wish with no commitment or expiration date.
How This Differs From Regular Online Stores
Most online retailers must provide returns policies under consumer protection law. Here's what they typically offer — and why it doesn't apply to us:
A Traditional Online Store
- 14-day return period (UK law)
- Full refund if goods are unused
- Exchange for defective items
- Return shipping paid by seller
- Refund processed within 14 days
Foodmoodscience (Editorial Platform)
- No purchases, so no return period
- No payments taken, no refunds issued
- No products to exchange
- No shipping or logistics involved
- All content is free and permanent
In short: Returns policies protect people who pay money for goods. Since you pay nothing for Foodmoodscience content, and we deliver nothing physical, consumer protection returns law simply does not apply. This is a feature, not a limitation — it means you have permanent, free access with no purchase commitment.
