Returns & Exchanges Policy

Important Notice: This Policy Does Not Apply to Our Platform

This site operates as a free informational and editorial platform.

We do not sell products, services, or accept payments. Therefore, standard consumer protection laws regarding returns and exchanges do not apply to our content. All material on this site is permanently free to access, read, and use without any financial transaction required.

Section 1: Why We Have No Returns Policy

We Are an Informational Platform, Not a Store

Thrive with Healthy Cooking publishes educational articles, video courses, and recipes for free. We operate similarly to a magazine or blog—not an e-commerce business. Since there are no commercial transactions on our site, return and exchange policies simply do not exist here.

Consumer Protection Laws Apply to Purchases Only

Returns and exchange policies exist to protect buyers of physical or digital products. In the Philippines and most countries, consumer protection laws cover sales transactions—money exchanged for goods or services. Since no money changes hands on our site, these protections are not required.

All Content Is Free and Always Accessible

You do not need to purchase anything to access our articles, recipes, or educational materials. There is no subscription fee, no hidden charges, and no payment requirement. Because there is no transaction, there is nothing to refund or exchange.

No Buyer-Seller Relationship

Return and exchange rights exist within a buyer-seller relationship. On our editorial platform, we provide information freely. There is no purchase agreement, no invoice, and no contractual obligation. You are free to use or ignore our content as you wish.

Section 2: How This Differs from Regular Online Stores

Traditional Online Store

✓ Sells physical or digital products for money
✓ Must provide 14-day return period (Philippine law)
✓ Offers exchanges for defective items
✓ Issues refunds to customer accounts
✓ Has purchase receipts and transaction records

Thrive with Healthy Cooking

✗ Does not sell products or services
✗ No return period applies—there is no purchase
✗ No exchanges possible—no transaction occurred
✗ No refunds exist—no money was collected
✗ All content is free and permanently available

Section 3: What If You Have Questions About Our Content?

You Have Full Freedom to Choose

Since our content is free and there is no payment, you are completely free to use it or not. You can read an article, watch a video course, or explore our recipes—or you can close the browser and find alternative sources. There is no commitment, no obligation, and no refund required.
