WARRANTY SERVICES
Questions, Assistance, and Services

Your local hobby store and/or place of purchase cannot provide 
warranty support or service. Once assembly, setup or use of 
the Product has been started, you must contact your local 
distributor or Horizon directly. This will enable Horizon to 
better answer your questions and service you in the event that 
you may need any assistance. For questions or assistance, 
please visit our website at www.horizonhobby.com, submit a 
Product Support Inquiry, or call the toll free telephone number 
referenced in the Warranty and Service Contact Information 
section to speak with a Product Support representative. 

Inspection or Services

If this Product needs to be inspected or serviced and is 
compliant in the country you live and use the Product in, 
please use the Horizon Online Service Request submission 
process found on our website or call Horizon to obtain a 
Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA) number. Pack the 
Product securely using a shipping carton. Please note that 
original boxes may be included, but are not designed to 
withstand the rigors of shipping without additional protection. 
Ship via a carrier that provides tracking and insurance for 
lost or damaged parcels, as Horizon is not responsible for 
merchandise until it arrives and is accepted at our facility. 
An Online Service Request is available at http://www.
horizonhobby.com/content/service-center_render-service-
center. If you do not have internet access, please contact 
Horizon Product Support to obtain a RMA number along with 
instructions for submitting your product for service. When 
calling Horizon, you will be asked to provide your complete 
name, street address, email address and phone number where 
you can be reached during business hours. When sending 
product into Horizon, please include your RMA number, a list of 
the included items, and a brief summary of the problem. A copy 
of your original sales receipt must be included for warranty 
consideration. Be sure your name, address, and RMA number 
are clearly written on the outside of the shipping carton.

NOTICE:

 Do not ship LiPo batteries to Horizon. If you have 

any issue with a LiPo battery, please contact the appropriate 
Horizon Product Support office.

Warranty Requirements 

For Warranty consideration, you must include your original 
sales receipt verifying the proof-of-purchase date. Provided 
warranty conditions have been met, your Product will be 
serviced or replaced free of charge. Service or replacement 
decisions are at the sole discretion of Horizon.

Non-Warranty Service

Should your service not be covered by warranty, service will be 
completed and payment will be required without notifi cation 
or estimate of the expense unless the expense exceeds 
50% of the retail purchase cost. By submitting the item for 
service you are agreeing to payment of the service without 
notifi cation. Service estimates are available upon request. You 
must include this request with your item submitted for service. 
Non-warranty service estimates will be billed a minimum of 
½ hour of labor. In addition you will be billed for return freight. 
Horizon accepts money orders and cashier’s checks, as well 
as Visa, MasterCard, American Express, and Discover cards. By 
submitting any item to Horizon for service, you are agreeing 
to Horizon’s Terms and Conditions found on our website http://
www.horizonhobby.com/content/service-center_render-
service-center.

ATTENTION:

 Horizon service is limited to Product compliant 

in the country of use and ownership. If received, a non-
compliant Product will not be serviced. Further, the sender 
will be responsible for arranging return shipment of the 
un-serviced Product, through a carrier of the sender’s 
choice and at the sender’s expense. Horizon will hold non-
compliant Product for a period of 60 days from notification, 
after which it will be discarded.
