Terms of Use

By using ModelEngineFans.com you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the site.

1. Information, Not Advice

The site publishes research, guides and buying recommendations about model engines and engine kits. It is general information to help you choose and understand them, not professional or safety advice. Engines that burn fuel produce heat, moving parts and toxic exhaust: follow the manufacturer’s instructions, run them only with proper ventilation, and read our guide to running a miniature IC engine before a first start.

2. Accuracy and Prices

We work to keep specifications, availability and prices accurate, but products change and prices move. Prices quoted for retailers other than Amazon are checked when a page is written or updated and can fall behind. The price and terms on the retailer’s own checkout are the ones that apply. If you spot something out of date, please tell us.

3. Affiliate Relationships

Many links on this site are affiliate links. As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases, and the site also earns commission from other retailers, including Stirlingkit, Enginediy and Nikolatoy. Purchases are made with the retailer, not with us: the retailer is responsible for the product, delivery, returns and warranty, under its own terms. How commissions affect what we cover is set out in the editorial policy.

4. Third-Party Sites and Videos

Links to other websites and embedded videos are provided for convenience. We do not control that content and are not responsible for it or for the practices of the sites that host it.

5. Intellectual Property

The text and layout of this site are ours. Product names, photographs, logos and trademarks belong to their respective owners and are used to identify the products discussed. You may quote brief passages with a link back to the source page.

6. Limitation of Liability

The site is provided “as is”. To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for any loss arising from your use of the site or from reliance on its content, including decisions to buy, assemble or run an engine.

7. Changes

We may update these terms; the date at the top shows when they last changed, and continued use of the site means you accept the current version. Questions go through the contact page. See also the privacy policy.
