EMAX USA (https://emax-usa.com/) provides sales and support for the United States and Canada only.
EMAX Model (https://emaxmodel.com/) provides international sales and support for all other countries.
Please reach out via the appropriate website for fastest service.
Collectively, EMAX USA and EMAX Model are herein referred to as EMAX.
All EMAX product specifications and images are for reference only. Due to ongoing technical improvements and other production changes, EMAX cannot guarantee the accuracy of the specifications or images.
The Service policy herein only applies to new products purchased directly from EMAX or its authorized dealers, and where no refund or replacement has been issued. Additionally, product support and warranty only applies to products in their original factory condition, firmware, and settings.
EMAX reserves the right to amend or change this Service policy at any time and without notice.
Warranty
All products purchased new directly from EMAX or an authorized dealer are warrantied against manufacturing defects for 60 days from the original date of purchase. This limited warranty only covers manufacturing defects, not normal wear and tear or damages resulting from user modification/abuse/error, flights/crashes, or neglect of maintenance. The limited warranty only applies to products in their original factory condition and settings, particularly with BNF and RTF products. Any user-related modifications or changes are not covered under warranty. EMAX holds sole discretion to repair, replace, or reject a warranty claim.
To submit a warranty claim, please open a Support Ticket (see below) to request approval for a warranty evaluation. In the initial Support Ticket, customer must provide a copy of the full receipt/invoice (i.e. showing seller/retailer, purchase date, order number, and the product at issue), as well as photos/short video documenting the issue (<20MB total file size, or upload to a video/cloud site and share the link).
Once approved for warranty evaluation, customer is responsible for all shipping costs to send the product(s) safely and securely to EMAX. Do not ship any damaged batteries and/or non-EMAX products, for which EMAX assumes no liability. Such items will be disposed of by EMAX without compensation to the customer. EMAX is not responsible for any packages lost or damaged during transit. Please add tracking and/or insurance as needed. Please ensure that the Support Ticket or RMA number is provided on the outside of the shipping package.
Once the product is received, EMAX technicians will evaluate and determine if the product can be repaired or replaced under warranty. EMAX technicians can only perform warranty repairs, and do not provide a general repair service. While the duration of the evaluation and repair/replacement will depend on the extent of damage, complexity of issue, and availability of spare parts, the turnaround time is generally 5 to 10 business days exclusive of shipping times.
If EMAX determines that warranty coverage applies to the claim, the product will be repaired/replaced at EMAX’s discretion and shipped back to the customer. If EMAX determines that warranty coverage does not apply to the claim or that the product is not defective, the customer may be charged for labor, parts, shipping, and other costs. If the said charges are not timely paid, EMAX will consider product abandoned after 15 days and dispose of it without compensation to the customer.
Support
EMAX only provides support for EMAX products which were purchased new from EMAX or its authorized dealers, and where no refund or replacement has been issued. Support is only available for EMAX products in their unmodified/original factory condition and settings. While EMAX products use open source software or firmware (e.g. Betaflight, BLHeli, OpenTX, etc.), EMAX does not provide support for any products where the software, firmware, or settings have been modified or updated by the customer.
A Support Ticket may be opened for assistance with an EMAX order, product, or to file a warranty claim. To open a Support Ticket please complete the online form below. Please provide the EMAX order number and/or product name/version. Please use the attachment feature to provide a copy of the full receipt/invoice (i.e. showing seller, purchase date, order no., product at issue, etc.), and photos/short video demonstrating the issue (total filesize <20MB, otherwise please upload to a video/cloud site and share the link). Please provide all details of any/all changes made which deviate from the original factory configuration/firmware/settings.
Please note that the Support Ticket system is not a live chat interface. Support Tickets and subsequent responses will generally be responded to within 2 business days, excluding holidays and weekends. Creating multiple tickets, sending multiple emails, and/or using multiple email addresses regarding the same/similar issue will result in additional delays in receiving a response.

To do so, please open a Support Ticket (see above) to request approval for the return. Please ensure that the Support Ticket or RMA number is provided on the outside of the shipping package.
