All products are sold under this warranty and disclaimer
The user shall determine the suitability of the product for his or her intended use and shall assume all risk and liability in connection therewith; this will include all items sold or distributed by Hobby & Model Warehouse.
User is required to read all instruction manuals and follow the manufacturers guidelines.Hobby & Model Warehouse cannot accept responsibility for injury and/or crash damage or loss of kits, or accessories, parts and materials that occurs during the use of any radio controlled models. Great care should be taken when using RC products If you have questions or concerns contact us here: info@hobbymodelwarehouse.com.au
Limits of Responsibility. We accept NO responsibility for crash damage. It is impossible to determine for certain whether crash damage was the result of a radio system failure or pilot error. We accept no responsibility for crash damage occurring during the use of a radio-controlled model. We accept no responsibility for improper installation of our products. Electrical polarity must be properly observed in hooking up electrical components.
Hobby & Model Warehouse is not responsible in any way for any and all bodily injurie(s) and/or property damage that may occur from the use of or caused by Lithium Polymer and NiCd / NiMH cells/packs or other goods sold by Hobby & Model Warehouse.
RADIO CONTROLLED MODEL AIRCRAFT AND HELICOPTERS AND ALL PRODUCTS RELATED TO THEM ARE NOT TOYS AND SHOULD BE HANDLED WITH GREAT CARE.

Lithium Batteries can catch on fire. Lithium batteries should NOT be left unattended while being charged as THEY CAN CATCH ON FIRE. Proper precautions should be taken before charging Lithium batteries such as having a fire extinguisher ready and placing the batteries in a fire safe container.
Lithium Polymer Charging, Handling, Safety Information
Charging:
Lithium Polymer batteries have specific charging requirements and ONLY chargers rated for Lithium Polymer cells may be used.
Charging Safety Tips
Lithium Polymer cells are a tremendous advance in battery technology for RC flight. However, due to the chemistry of lithium cells, there is a possibility of fire if charging is not properly done. It is unavoidable due to the nature of lithium itself. This is no different from many things we use in daily life - knives, kitchen cleaners, automobiles, for a few examples - which are inherently dangerous, but which can be used very safely by adhering to simple rules and precautions.
Be absolutely sure that the Lithium Polymer charger settings are correct for the battery pack being charged - both voltage and current settings
Care should be taken to charge on a fireproof surface, such as brick.
Do not charge batteries near flammable items or liquids.
Keep a dry fire extinguisher nearby - or a large bucket of dry sand, which is a cheap and effective extinguisher.
Do not charge inside an automobile, especially while driving.
Batteries should NEVER be left unattended while charging.
Handling Cautions:
New cells may have a high initial charge, and care must always be taken to insure that loose cells are not short circuited. Please:
Do not put the loose cells in a pocket, bag, or drawer where they could short-circuit against other items, or the battery tabs could be pressed against each other.
Do not place the loose cells on any conductive surface, such as a metal-topped table.
Keep loose cells and battery packs WELL out of reach of children!
Buy pre-assembled packs from an authorized dealer, rather than assembling packs from loose cells.
Take care that the cells are not punctured, especially by metallic objects like hobby knives.
If the electrolyte in the cells should get on your skin, thoroughly wash with soap and water. If in the eyes, rinse thoroughly with cool water. Immediately seek medical attention for this, or for burns.
Although environmentally friendly, lithium polymer cells must be FULLY discharged before disposal. Use a resistor setup (light bulbs, for example) to accomplish this, to avoid the possibility of a short-induced fire after disposal.
The following is from the safety information provided by a Li-Po battery manufacturer, and is typical of the safety tests we found. This does NOT necessarily mean that all Li-Po batteries would have the same result, but does show that Li-Poly batteries may be robust against various conditions found in RC use. Most interesting was one test we found in which the battery, when fully charged, was penetrated by a large nail, then discharged and gave 60% of normal capacity. On the subsequent charge/discharge cycle the same battery gave 90% of capacity. These tests were conducted in a laboratory by professionals, and should not be duplicated at home.
Lithium Polymer Batteries are only approved for RC use, and may not be used in any other application. Battery discharging, charging, electric motors, spinning propellers, and flying models all have the potential for serious injury to persons and damage to property. In purchasing these products, the user agrees to accept responsibility for all such risks, and not to hold the manufacturer, distributors, or Hobby & Model Warehouse - (all including owners and employees) - responsible for any accident, injury to persons, or damage to property.
As used in radio-controlled model aircraft, discharge rates exceed the manufacturer's specified maximum rates for these cells. Therefore, the use of Lithium batteries in radio-controlled models is to be considered experimental, and there is no warranty, expressed or implied, by the manufacturer, distributors, or Hobby & Model Warehouse with respect to the capacity, life in cycles, storage, or discharge characteristics of Lithium cells in RC use, nor any other use nor aspect.
