Consumer warranty information
Worldwide, Guillemot Corporation S.A. (hereinafter “Guillemot”) warrants to the consumer that this
Thrustmaster product shall be free from defects in materials and workmanship, for a warranty period which
corresponds to the time limit to bring an action for conformity with respect to this product. In the countries
of the European Union, this corresponds to a period of two (2) years from delivery of the Thrustmaster
product. In other countries, the warranty period corresponds to the time limit to bring an action for
conformity with respect to the Thrustmaster product according to applicable laws of the country in which
the consumer was domiciled on the date of purchase of the Thrustmaster product (if no such action exists
in the corresponding country, then the warranty period shall be one (1) year from the original date of
purchase of the Thrustmaster product).
Notwithstanding the above, rechargeable batteries are covered by a warranty period of six (6) months from
the date of original purchase.
Should the product appear to be defective during the warranty period, immediately contact Technical
Support, who will indicate the procedure to follow. If the defect is confirmed, the product must be returned
to its place of purchase (or any other location indicated by Technical Support).
Within the context of this warranty, the consumer’s defective product shall, at Technical Support’s option,
be either repaired or replaced. If permitted under applicable law, the full liability of Guillemot and its
subsidiaries (including for consequential damages) is limited to the repair or replacement of the
Thrustmaster product. If permitted under applicable law, Guillemot disclaims all warranties of
merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose. The consumer’s legal rights with respect to laws
applicable to the sale of consumer goods are not affected by this warranty.
This warranty shall not apply: (1) if the product has been modified, opened, altered, or has suffered
damage as a result of inappropriate or abusive use, negligence, an accident, normal wear, or any other
cause unrelated to a material or manufacturing defect (including, but not limited to, combining the
Thrustmaster product with any unsuitable element, including in particular power supplies, rechargeable
batteries, chargers, or any other elements not supplied by Guillemot for this product); (2) in the event of
failure to comply with the instructions provided by Technical Support; (3) to software, said software being
subject to a specific warranty; (4) to consumables (elements to be replaced over the product’s lifespan:
disposable batteries, audio headset or headphone ear pads, for example); (5) to accessories (cables,
cases, pouches, bags, wrist-straps, for example); (6) if the product was sold at public auction.
This warranty is nontransferable.
Additional warranty provisions
In the United States of America and in Canada, this warranty is limited to the product’s internal mechanism
and external housing. In no event shall Guillemot or its affiliates be held liable to any third party for any
consequential or incidental damages resulting from the breach of any express or implied warranties. Some
States/Provinces do not allow limitation on how long an implied warranty lasts or exclusion or limitation of
liability for consequential or incidental damages, so the above limitations or exclusions may not apply to
you. This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights which vary from
State to State or Province to Province.

modified, opened or altered; (2) failure to comply with assembly instructions; (3) inappropriate or abusive
use, negligence, an accident (an impact, for example); (4) normal wear. If permitted under applicable law,
Guillemot and its subsidiaries disclaim all liability for any damages unrelated to a material or
manufacturing defect with respect to the product (including, but not limited to, any damages caused
directly or indirectly by any software, or by combining the Thrustmaster product with any unsuitable
element, including in particular power supplies, rechargeable batteries, chargers, or any other elements
not supplied by Guillemot for this product).
