Questions, Assistance, and Services
Your local hobby store and/or place of purchase cannot provide warranty support or service.

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,

will be serviced or replaced free of charge. Service or replacement decisions are at the sole
discretion of Horizon.
