Returns & Exchanges Policy
Important: This policy does not apply to our platform. Learn why.
No Returns Policy Because No Purchases
Vitaldietexpert is an informational and editorial platform. We do not conduct any commercial transactions, sell products, or charge fees. Therefore, standard consumer return and exchange policies do not apply to this site. All content is provided free and accessible 24/7.
Important Notice
A returns and exchange policy is a standard consumer protection measure for retail and e-commerce businesses that sell physical or digital products for payment. Such policies outline how customers can return or exchange purchased items within a specified timeframe.
Vitaldietexpert operates as a free informational platform. We do not sell products, do not charge for access to content, and do not process any payments. Since there are no purchases, there is nothing to return or exchange. This page exists to clarify that standard consumer return laws do not apply to our service model.
Why We Have No Returns Policy
Consumer protection regulations in Austria and the European Union (including the Consumer Rights Directive) establish return and refund rights for buyers of goods and services. These protections apply when money changes hands—when a customer pays for a product or service and then wishes to return it within the statutory cooling-off period (typically 14 days).
Since Vitaldietexpert does not accept payments, does not sell products, and does not provide paid services, there is no buyer-seller transaction. Consequently:
- No payment required. You do not pay to access our content.
- No product purchased. You are not buying anything that needs to be returned.
- No refund possible. Since there is no transaction, there is no money to refund.
- Free, perpetual access. All editorial content remains free and accessible to anyone at any time.
How This Differs From Regular Online Stores
A typical e-commerce business (clothing, supplements, books, etc.) operates under consumer protection law and provides:
Typical Online Store
- Charges a price for products
- Processes payment transactions
- Offers 14-day cooling-off period
- Accepts returns and issues refunds
- May exchange defective items
Vitaldietexpert (Editorial)
- No charges at all
- No payment processing
- No cooling-off period needed
- No returns or refunds (nothing to return)
- No product exchange (no products)
Because we operate as a free informational platform without commercial transactions, the legal framework that governs returns, exchanges, and refunds simply does not apply to Vitaldietexpert.
