Athearn eGift Card Terms and Conditions

These Athearn eGift Card Terms and Conditions ("Terms and Conditions") are applicable in addition to the Terms and Conditions and Privacy Policy applicable to the Athearn.com website.

By purchasing and/or using an eGift Card, You are agreeing to these Terms and Conditions.  Please read them carefully and keep a copy for your records.


Redemption. Athearn eGift Card codes (“eGift Cards”) must be redeemed at www.Athearn.com toward the purchase of eligible products.    Purchases are deducted from the eGift Card balance. Any unused balance will be placed in the recipient's eGift Card account when redeemed. You may contact us to check your eGift Card balance.  The balance you receive is an estimate only.  In most cases, the balance is adjusted immediately when you make a purchase online, but there may be occasions when the updated balance is delayed for a period of time. If an order exceeds the amount of the eGift Card, the balance must be paid with a credit card or other available payment method.

Limitations.  eGift Cards are not credit or debit cards.  eGift Cards cannot be reloaded, resold, transferred for value, used to purchase other eGift cards, used in connection with any marketing, advertising, or other promotional activities (unless approved by Athearn or Horizon Hobby), redeemed for cash, or applied to any other account, except to the extent required by law. Unused eGift Card balances in a HorizonHobby.com account may not be transferred. eGift Cards are only available for purchase by U.S. residents and can only be applied to purchases from www.Athearn.com in the United States.

Returns. If you return an item that was purchased with an eGift Card, the original amount paid from the eGift Card will be credited to your Athearn account.  To redeem this credit, you must place a phone order with Athearn by contacting us.

Promotional Use. If you are interested in ordering more than 500 eGift Cards or are interested in using the cards for any promotional purpose, please email websales@horizonhobby.com, and a Horizon Hobby representative will contact you.

Expiration and Fees. eGift Cards never expire and are not subject to any fees.

Risk of Loss.  Please be certain to provide a correct e-mail address when ordering eGift Cards.  Treat eGift Cards like cash.  The risk of loss and title for eGift Cards passes to you, the purchaser, upon Horizon Hobby’s electronic transmission to the purchaser.  Horizon Hobby is not responsible for an eGift Card that is lost, stolen, destroyed, or used without your permission. If your Horizon Hobby eGift Card is lost or stolen, immediately contact us. Your Horizon Hobby Gift Card will be canceled and Horizon Hobby will issue a new one with the remaining balance, less any use (whether by you or by an unauthorized third party). You are solely responsible for any activity conducted on your account(s) and for keeping your HorizonHobby.com passwords secure.
