In alignment with software industry practices and policies, software that has been opened and/or installed is not returnable. For digitally delivered products, once the software has been downloaded and/or the serial number has been sent, no returns are allowed.

Support Policy

In alignment with software industry practices and policies, we support the two most recent versions of our software on currently supported Microsoft Windows operating systems which can run DirectX.

Once we retire software, we continue to support it for 24 months. During development and service life, Horizon Hobby builds a robust self-help portal for each version of our software so owners of retired versions can refer to the documentation once the software is retired.

Due to an abundance of caution and care for our customers, team members and the employees of our shipping partners, as well as regulatory compliance Horizon Hobby and our family of brands do not accept returns on the following:

Shipping conditions and parameters for batteries are particularly sensitive. We have special processes and steps we take at our warehouses to ensure safe transport, including packaging and notifications to our shipping partners. Once the package has been accepted, we can no longer guarantee the packaging for standalone batteries, which is why we do not accept returns of open kits/products.

When sending in a product for repair, please remove all used/opened batteries before shipping. We have batteries in our Service Center which we use.

To learn more about restrictions on shipments, learn from our shipping partners:

In accordance with the manufacturer’s requests, we may redirect requests or advise customers to call the manufacturer directly. If purchasing from a site other than www.horizonhobby.com, please refer to that site for applicable defective return policies and contact information.

If the customer receives merchandise that is missing a part, he/she should contact us. We will ensure the missing part(s) are sent from our stock as appropriate. We may ask for photos to ensure we understand which parts are missing.
