Description of Services
ALTGYM operates a digital platform that connects Users with fitness facilities and provides e-commerce services. The Platform offers the following key features:
- Gym Bookings and Memberships: Users can search for and book access to affiliated gyms (Gym Partners) on a pay-per-session basis or under various subscription plans (monthly, quarterly, half-yearly, or annual). ALTGYM provides scheduling tools, booking calendars, and membership management.
- Subscription Management: Users may subscribe to recurring membership plans for access to partner gyms. The pricing model includes monthly, quarterly, half-yearly and annual subscription fees. Subscription plans auto-renew until canceled. Users can view and manage their active plans in their Account.
- Product Sales (Supplements & Apparel): ALTGYM facilitates the sale of health and fitness products. Through the Platform, Users may purchase nutritional supplements, workout apparel, and related merchandise. Products are sold at listed prices, subject to availability. Delivery or pickup options will be as indicated at checkout.
- Partner Network Access: The Platform provides access to a network of third-party gyms and fitness centers. Users can browse details of each Gym Partner (location, amenities, schedules) and book sessions accordingly. ALTGYM serves as an intermediary to connect Users with these facilities.
- Ancillary Services: Other supportive services (e.g., fitness tips, promotional offers, loyalty points) may be provided as features of the Platform.
All Services described above are governed by these Terms. For clarity, ALTGYM itself is not a gym operator or a health product manufacturer; rather, we facilitate transactions and bookings between Users and third-party providers. The specific services at each partner gym such as personal training, classes, or facility usage are provided by that gym under its own terms, rules, and staff; ALTGYM merely enables the booking or introduction. Similarly, products sold supplements and apparel may be provided by third-party vendors through the Platform's marketplace, and we do not manufacture those products.
ALTGYM reserves the right to introduce new features or products in the future. All current features are included in the scope of these Terms. We may integrate third-party tools or content payment gateways, advertisement, analytics, but such third-party services are also subject to their own terms and are used by us to improve the Services.
Pricing Models, Payment Methods, Refund and Cancellation Policies
Pricing and Fees
This app will display all applicable fees for memberships, per-session bookings, and products at the time of purchase or subscription. The subscription plans include options for monthly, quarterly, half-yearly, and annual memberships. Fees are payable in Indian Rupees (INR) and include any applicable taxes (such as GST), unless otherwise stated. ALTGYM reserves the right to introduce new fees or modify existing fees for any Service. All pricing changes will be communicated to Users in accordance with applicable policies. Active subscriptions will continue at their then-current rate until renewal, after which new rates may apply.
Payment Methods
Users may pay for Services via the payment methods supported on the Platform. Currently, ALTGYM accepts UPI (Unified Payments Interface), major credit and debit cards (Visa, MasterCard, etc.), and select digital wallets. All payments are processed through secure, PCI-compliant third-party gateways. ALTGYM does not store your credit/debit card information on its servers; however, you should treat the payment method details you submit as highly confidential. You authorize ALTGYM to charge your chosen payment method for all amounts due (subscription renewals, bookings, product purchases). If a payment fails (for example, due to insufficient funds or processing error), ALTGYM may suspend access to the related Service until payment is successfully made.
Refunds and Cancellations
ALTGYM's refund and cancellation policy is as follows:
- Pay-Per-Session Bookings: Single session bookings are generally non-refundable once confirmed. If you cancel a session booking outside the permitted cancellation window (as communicated at booking), the session fee is forfeited. If you cancel well in advance (e.g. more than 24 hours before the session) and we are able to re-sell the slot, we may issue a credit or partial refund at our discretion. However, once a booked session date/time has passed, the fee is non-refundable.
- Product Sales (Supplements & Apparel): All purchases of products are final once the order is confirmed and payment is processed. If a product is defective or does not match the description, you may return it within a specified return window (usually 7-10 days) for a replacement or refund, subject to ALTGYM's returns policy. Please note that change-of-mind returns are not generally permitted for health-related items due to safety concerns.
- Order Cancellation and Returns for Perishable Goods: Once the order for perishable goods has been shipped and a shipping confirmation message has been forwarded to the customer, the order cannot be cancelled under any circumstances. Due to the nature of perishable items, returns or exchanges will not be accepted unless the product is received in a damaged or spoiled condition, in which case the customer must notify us within 24 hours of delivery with videographic evidence while unboxing.
- Service Failures: In the rare case that ALTGYM is unable to provide a Service you paid for (for example, a confirmed gym session is canceled by us due to technical error), ALTGYM will work with you to reschedule or, if that is not feasible, will issue a full refund or credit for that Service. Documented technical failures or lapses on ALTGYM's part will be addressed on a case-by-case basis.
- Taxes and Fees: All fees listed are inclusive of any applicable taxes unless otherwise noted. You may be responsible for any government taxes, duties, or surcharges related to your purchase, as required by law.
Any refunds will be issued to the original payment method within a reasonable period. ALTGYM will not be responsible for any banking or currency conversion fees that may apply to refunds. In the event of cancellation, ALTGYM may charge reasonable cancellation fees or administrative charges as permitted by law and disclosed in our policies.
By purchasing or subscribing, you represent that you have the legal right to use the chosen payment method. Any fraudulent or unauthorized use of payment methods will be treated as a breach of these Terms, and ALTGYM may recover any losses from you or law enforcement.
