Return & Refund Policy
This Return & Refund Policy applies to all purchases made from True Balance, operated by MLIFE ENTERPRISE FZCO. Due to the nature of our products (food, supplements, and consumable wellness products), we apply a strict and hygiene-focused return policy.
Last updated: January 29, 2026
1. General Principle – Consumable Goods
Our products are classified as food items, dietary supplements, or consumable health products.
For health, hygiene, and safety reasons, we generally do not accept returns or exchanges once an order has been delivered successfully.
By placing an order, you expressly acknowledge and agree that:
- Consumable products are not eligible for return simply due to a change of mind
- Personal preferences, taste, or subjective dissatisfaction do not constitute valid grounds for a return or refund
2. Non-Returnable Items
The following items are strictly non-returnable and non-refundable:
- Opened, used, or partially used products
- Products with broken seals or damaged packaging after delivery
- Products returned for personal reasons ("I no longer want it", "I changed my mind")
- Products not stored or handled according to instructions
This policy exists to protect consumer safety and product integrity.
3. Eligible Cases for Replacement or Refund
Despite the above, we understand that exceptional situations may occur. We may, at our sole discretion, offer a replacement or refund in the following cases:
a) Damaged Items on Arrival
If your order arrives physically damaged, leaking, crushed, or otherwise unusable:
- You must notify us within 48 hours of delivery
- You must provide clear photographic evidence of: the damaged product, the external and internal packaging
Approved claims may result in a replacement shipment or a refund, depending on availability.
b) Incorrect or Missing Items
If you receive an incorrect product or if items are missing from your order:
- Contact us within 48 hours of delivery
- Include your order number and relevant photos (if applicable)
Once verified, we will arrange a replacement or appropriate resolution.
c) Lost Shipments
If a shipment is confirmed as lost by the courier:
- We will investigate the matter with the shipping provider
- Upon confirmation, a replacement or refund will be issued at our discretion
4. Return Requests & Return Authorization
- No returns are accepted without prior written approval from us
- In certain cases, we may request that the product be returned for inspection before issuing a replacement or refund
- Return instructions, if applicable, will be provided individually
Unauthorized returns may be refused and returned to the sender at their expense.
5. Condition of Returned Products (If Requested)
If a return is explicitly approved:
- The product must be unused, unopened, and in its original packaging
- The product must be returned in a condition suitable for inspection
We reserve the right to reject any return that does not meet these conditions.
6. Refund Processing
- Refunds are processed only after claim verification and, where applicable, inspection of returned goods
- Approved refunds will be issued to the original payment method
- Shipping fees are non-refundable, unless required by mandatory law
Refund processing times may vary depending on the payment provider.
7. No Warranty of Preference or Outcome
We do not offer refunds or exchanges based on:
- Personal expectations
- Taste, texture, or subjective experience
- Individual reactions or perceived effectiveness
Individual responses to food and supplements may vary and do not constitute product defects.
8. Legal & Regulatory Compliance
This Return & Refund Policy is designed to comply with:
- UAE consumer protection regulations
- Food safety and hygiene standards
Nothing in this policy limits statutory consumer rights that cannot be excluded under applicable UAE law.
9. Policy Updates
