Repair/Replace as Your Exclusive Remedy: During this warranty period, Bosch or one
of its authorized service providers will repair your Product without charge to you
(subject to certain limitations stated herein) if your Product proves to have been
manufactured with a defect in materials or workmanship. If reasonable attempts to
repair the Product have been made without success, then Bosch will replace your
Product (upgraded models may be available to you, in Bosch's sole discretion, for an
additional charge). All removed parts and components shall become the property of
Bosch at its sole option. All replaced and/or repaired parts shall assume the identity of
the original part for purposes of this warranty and this warranty shall not be extended
with respect to such parts. Bosch's sole liability and responsibility hereunder is to
repair manufacturer-defective Product only, using a Bosch-authorized service
provider during normal business hours. For safety and property damage concerns,
Bosch highly recommends that you do not attempt to repair the Product yourself, or
use an un-authorized servicer; Bosch will have no responsibility or liability for repairs
or work performed by a non-authorized servicer. If you choose to have someone other
than an authorized service provider work on your Product, THIS WARRANTY WILL
AUTOMATICALLY BECOME NULL AND VOID. Authorized service providers are
those persons or companies that have been specially trained on Bosch products, and
who possess, in Bosch's opinion, a superior reputation for customer service and
technical ability (note that they are independent entities and are not agents, partners,
affiliates or representatives of Bosch). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Bosch will not
incur any liability, or have responsibility, for the Product if it is located in a remote area
(more than 100 miles from an authorized service provider) or is reasonably
inaccessible, hazardous, threatening, or treacherous locale, surroundings, or
environment; in any such event, if you request, Bosch would still pay for labor and
parts and ship the parts to the nearest authorized service provider, but you would still
be fully liable and responsible for any travel time or other special charges by the
service company, assuming they agree to make the service call.
Out of Warranty Product: Bosch is under no obligation, at law or otherwise, to provide
you with any concessions, including repairs, pro-rates, or Product replacement, once
this warranty has expired.
Warranty Exclusions: The warranty coverage described herein excludes all defects or
damage that are not the direct fault of Bosch, including without limitation, one or more
of the following: (1) use of the Product in anything other than its normal, customary
and intended manner (including without limitation, any form of commercial use, use or
storage of an indoor product outdoors, use of the Product in conjunction with air or
water-going vessels); (2) any party's willful misconduct, negligence, misuse, abuse,
accidents, neglect, improper operation, failure to maintain, improper or negligent
installation, tampering, failure to follow operating instructions, mishandling,
unauthorized service (including self-performed "fixing" or exploration of the
appliance's internal workings); (4) adjustment, alteration or modification of any kind;
(5) a failure to comply with any applicable state, local, city, or county electrical,
plumbing and/or building codes, regulations, or laws, including failure to install the
product in strict conformity with local fire and building codes and regulations; (6)
ordinary wear and tear, spills of food, liquid, grease accumulations, or other
substances that accumulate on, in, or around the Product; and (7) any external,
elemental and/or environmental forces and factors, including without limitation, rain,
wind, sand, floods, fires, mud slides, freezing temperatures, excessive moisture or
extended exposure to humidity, lightning, power surges, structural failures
surrounding the appliance, and acts of God. In no event shall Bosch have any liability
