Products other than online coaching

Watching the videos with audio online requires access to a good quality and high speed download internet connection. Please make sure you have access to said internet connection before proceeding with the purchase of a training program or a subscription.

  1. Product Availability (physical product)

Note that some products may need a special order, may not be available in some areas or in both official languages and are indicated as such. Thibarmy reserves the right to modify the status of availability of a product without notice. Thibarmy will not be held responsible concerning shipping delays caused by delivery companies. Thibarmy has the right, at its discretion, to limit quantities, refuse orders, close accounts or cancel orders. All accessories associated to a product are not included unless mentioned.

Most of the products ordered will be shipped within five (5) working days following the order receipt. However, delays and shipping rates may vary depending on the destination, the type of shipping chosen and the availability of the product from suppliers. The shipping rates are established according to the size, the weight, the destination and type of shipping and are charged to the customer.

  1. Warranty, Refund and Exchange Policy

All sales physical products are final. No exchange or refund will be accepted, except if the product has a manufacturing defect or in a bad condition.

Also, to be eligible for a return, your item must be unused and in the same condition you received it. It must also be in the original packaging. All items returned under this policy must be returned with the receipt for a replacement to be issued.

Unfortunately, we can’t offer you a refund or exchange if you purchased a discontinued product, or an item on sale.

The value of replacements and store credits will be based on return inspection. Warranties and refund requests will be void if products have been damaged due to negligence, improper use, alteration (including taking apart an item), or poor maintenance and storage practices. Products will no longer be covered if used or stored in outdoor conditions at any point from the day of confirmed delivery. Warranties do not cover ordinary wear and tear or cosmetic damage.

Barbell:

Warranty against bending does not cover any bar which has been damaged due to negligent or faulty use, alteration, maintenance, storage or handling by the user. Negligent or faulty use includes abusive dropping of the bar (i.e., dropping the bar on a box, bench, spotter arms or pins in a power rack, excessive dropping with insufficient or damaged bumpers, or excessive dropping with iron plates, and similar usage). Any specific issues regarding a product with which a customer is not satisfied will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. We have found that most problems with bars we replace are related to abusive use.

This barbell comes with a life time warranty from defects in material, functionality and workmanship for the lifetime of the product. “Lifetime” warranty coverage ends when the product becomes unusable for reasons other than defects in materials or workmanship. The warranty applies only to the original purchaser of the product for so long as the original purchaser owns the product, and is non-transferable. Warranty does not apply to barbells that need maintenance.  Shipping charges are not included for the replacement of a defective bar.

rather than manufacturing or materials issues.

Programs (downloadable products):

We allow a complete refund of a training program or paid download within a 24-hour period, when requested with a valid reason.  No refunds will be made after the 24-hour period following a purchase.

Only trackable orders have a guarantee on the package. We will cover the entire package value and shipping if the package doesn’t arrive after 30 days from the estimated shipping time.

If you selected small packet surface, air or light order by ground, we will not ship another package if you are not receiving your order in the estimated delay at checkout. Usually, if it goes over this delay, it’s because your local postal service weren’t able to deliver it, or it has been held at the customs of your country for verification.

For all international physical product orders which are not shipping with a trackable option, we do not guarantee you will receive your package if you are not taking the trackable shipping. We will not refund any orders which go over the delay prescript by the postal service. Refunds are not possible for an order not received for international orders if the shipping option was not trackable.

We are not responsible of any extra custom fee charged. This fee can vary from country to country depending on the value of the package. Sometime it might have one, sometime not.

If you haven’t receive your non-trackable package and it has been longer than 6 weeks after we notified you by email, you can see why that might have happened here: [email protected]
