By accessing or using our Website, you explicitly agree to be bound by these Terms, as well as our Privacy Policy, Shipping Policy, and Return and Refund Policy. If you do not agree with any part of these Terms, you must not use our Website.

3. Product Information and Availability

  • Product Descriptions: We make every reasonable effort to ensure that all information about our products, including descriptions, images, dimensions, weight, materials, and specifications (such as those for dumbbells, treadmills, and weight benches), is accurate, complete, and up-to-date. However, we do not warrant that product descriptions or other content of this Website are always entirely accurate, complete, reliable, current, or error-free. If you find a discrepancy, please contact us.
  • Pricing: All prices listed on the Website are in Euros (€) and include all applicable taxes (TVA/VAT) for customers within France, unless otherwise explicitly stated. We reserve the right to change prices at any time without prior notice. In the event of a pricing error on an order, we will contact you before shipment to confirm if you wish to proceed with the order at the correct price.
  • Availability: All products are subject to availability. While we strive to maintain accurate stock levels, we reserve the right to limit the quantity of products we supply and to discontinue any product at any time without notice. If a product you ordered is unavailable, we will notify you and offer alternatives or a full refund.

4. Orders and Payment

  • Order Acceptance: Your placement of an order through our Website constitutes an offer to us to buy the product(s) in your order. All orders are subject to acceptance by us, which occurs when we send you an email confirming that the product has been dispatched ("Shipping Confirmation"). The contract between you and Secquent ("Contract") will only be formed when we send you the Shipping Confirmation.
  • Payment: We accept payment via major credit cards (Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Cartes Bancaires) and PayPal. All payments are subject to stringent validation checks and authorization by your card issuer or chosen payment service provider. If the issuer or provider refuses to authorize payment, we will not be liable for any delay or non-delivery.

  • Processing & Transit Times: For detailed information on order processing and estimated delivery times, please refer to our dedicated Shipping Policy Page.

6. Returns and Refunds

  • Return Window: We offer a 30-day return window from the date of delivery.
  • Eligibility: Items must be returned unused, undamaged, and in their original packaging to qualify for a full refund. Specific conditions apply to large or assembled items (e.g., if a treadmill has been fully assembled and used, a depreciation fee may be applied to the refund as per French consumer law).
  • Refunds: Approved refunds are processed back to your original payment method within 7-10 business days after we receive and thoroughly inspect the returned item.
