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 protec-

tion. Ship via a carrier that provides tracking and insurance for lost or damaged

ditions have been met, your Product will be serviced or replaced free of charge.

tion 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 notification. Service estimates are avail-

able 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

ranging return shipment of the un-serviced Product, through a carrier 

of the sender’s choice and at the sender’s expense. Horizon will hold
