STATEMENT OF LIMITED PRODUCT WARRANTY
What this Warranty Covers & Who it
Applies to
The limited warranty provided by BSH Home Appliances
(“Bosch“) in this Statement of Limited Product Warranty
applies only to the Bosch appliance sold to you
(“Product“), provided that the Product was purchased:
▯
For your normal, household (non-commercial) use,
and has in fact at all times only been used for normal
household purposes.
▯
New at retail (not a display, "as is", or previously
returned model), and not for resale, or commercial
use.
▯
Within the United States or Canada, and has at all
times remained within the country of original purchase.
The warranties stated herein apply to the original
purchaser of the product warranted herein and to each
succeeding owner of the product purchased for ordinary
home use during the term of the warranty.
Please make sure to return your registration card; while
not necessary to effectuate warranty coverage, it is the
best way for Bosch to notify you in the unlikely event of a
safety notice or product recall.
How Long the Warranty Lasts
Bosch warrants that the Product is free from defects in
materials and workmanship for a period of three hundred
sixty-five (365) days from the date of the original
purchase. The foregoing timeline begins to run upon the
date of the original purchase, and shall not be stalled,
tolled, extended, or suspended, for any reason
whatsoever.
This Product is also warranted to be free from
cosmetic
defects in material and workmanship (such as scratches
of stainless steel, paint/porcelain blemishes, chip, dents,
or other damage to the finish) of the Product, for a period
of thirty (30) days from the date of purchase or closing
date for new construction. This
cosmetic
warranty
excludes slight color variations due to inherent
differences in painted and porcelain parts, as well as
differences caused by kitchen lighting, product location,
or other similar factors. This
cosmetic
warranty
specifically excludes any display, floor, “As Is”, or “B”
stock appliances.
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).
Nothing in this warranty requires damaged or defective
parts to be replaced with parts of a different type or
design than the original part. 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 a non-authorized service provider; Bosch will have
no responsibility or liability for repairs or work performed
by a non-authorized service provider. 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,
prorates, 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:
▯
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).
▯
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).
▯
Adjustment, alteration or modification of any kind.
▯
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
