5. Refund policy

We offer a 14-day, no-questions-asked refund. If you don't love the book within two weeks of purchase, just email us at hello@cortisolkitchen.com with the email address you used for the purchase, and we'll process a full refund.

After 14 days, we generally don't issue refunds, but if there's a real problem (corrupted file, didn't receive the email, etc.), reach out and we'll make it right.

6. Pricing and taxes

Prices are listed in US Dollars. Depending on your location, applicable taxes (VAT, GST, sales tax) may be added by Gumroad at checkout. The price you see at the moment of purchase is the price you'll pay.

7. Health disclaimer

This is important. Cortisol Kitchen is an educational resource. It's not medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. The author isn't a licensed dietitian, doctor, or healthcare professional. Always consult a qualified healthcare provider before making changes to your diet, especially if you:

Individual results vary. Statements in this book have not been evaluated by the FDA, EMA, UAE Ministry of Health, or any equivalent regulatory body. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.

8. Allergens and dietary safety

The recipes contain common allergens including dairy, eggs, gluten, fish, shellfish, tree nuts, and seeds. Always check ingredient lists carefully. We can't take responsibility for allergic reactions or dietary issues that result from following the recipes — that's your responsibility as the cook.

9. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent allowed by law, Cortisol Kitchen and its author are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages arising from your use of the website or the book. If we are found liable for anything, total liability is limited to the amount you paid for the product.

10. No warranties

The website and the book are provided "as is" without warranties of any kind. We don't promise the website will always be available or error-free, or that the book will produce specific health or weight-loss results.

11. Intellectual property

All content on this website and inside the book — text, photographs, design, branding — is owned by Cortisol Kitchen and protected by international copyright law. You can't copy, reproduce, or distribute it without our written permission, except as expressly allowed in the license above.

12. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms from time to time. The "last updated" date at the top reflects the current version. Continued use of the site after changes means you accept the new terms.

13. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the United Arab Emirates. Any disputes will be resolved in the courts of the UAE — unless your local consumer protection laws give you stronger rights, in which case those apply.
