STATEMENT OF LIMITED PRODUCT WARRANTY
38
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 hereun-
der is to repair manufacturer-defective Product only, using
a Bosch authorized service provider during normal busi-
ness hours. For safety and property damage concerns,
Bosch highly recommends that you do not attempt to re-
pair the Product yourself, or use a non-authorized service
provider; Bosch will have no responsibility or liability for re-
pairs 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). Notwith-
standing the foregoing, Bosch will not incur any liability, or
have responsibility, for the Product if it is located in a re-
mote area (more than 100 miles from an authorized ser-
vice provider) or is reasonably inaccessible, hazardous,
threatening, or treacherous locale, surroundings, or envi-
ronment; in any such event, if you request, Bosch would
still pay for labor and parts and ship the parts to the near-
est 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.
14.4 Out of warranty product
Bosch is under no obligation, at law or otherwise, to pro-
vide you with any concessions, including repairs, prorates,
or Product replacement, once this warranty has expired.

fects or damage that are not the direct fault of Bosch, in-

In no event shall Bosch have any liability or responsibility

TO THE EXTENT ALLOWED BY LAW, THIS WARRANTY
SETS OUT YOUR EXCLUSIVE REMEDIES WITH RE-
SPECT TO PRODUCT, WHETHER THE CLAIM ARISES
IN CONTRACT OR TORT (INCLUDING STRICT LIABIL-
ITY, OR NEGLIGENCE) OR OTHERWISE. THIS WAR-
RANTY IS IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES,
WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. ANY WARRANTY
IMPLIED BY LAW, WHETHER FOR MERCHANTABILITY
OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR OTH-
ERWISE, SHALL BE EFFECTIVE ONLY FOR THE PE-
RIOD THAT THIS EXPRESS LIMITED WARRANTY IS
EFFECTIVE. IN NO EVENT WILL THE MANUFACTURER
BE LIABLE FOR CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, INCIDEN-
TAL, INDIRECT, "BUSINESS LOSS", AND/OR PUNITIVE
DAMAGES, LOSSES, OR EXPENSES, INCLUDING
WITHOUT LIMITATION TIME AWAY FROM WORK, HO-
TELS AND/OR RESTAURANT MEALS, REMODELLING
EXPENSES IN EXCESS OF DIRECT DAMAGES WHICH
ARE DEFINITIVELY CAUSED EXCLUSIVELY BY
BOSCH, OR OTHERWISE. SOME STATES DO NOT AL-
LOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF INCIDEN-
TAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, AND SOME
STATES DO NOT ALLOW LIMITATIONS ON HOW LONG
AN IMPLIED WARRANTY LASTS, SO THE ABOVE EX-
CLUSIONS OR LIMITATIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO
YOU. THIS WARRANTY GIVES YOU SPECIFIC LEGAL
RIGHTS, AND YOU MAY ALSO HAVE OTHER RIGHTS
WHICH VARY FROM STATE TO STATE.
No attempt to alter, modify or amend this warranty shall be
effective unless authorized in writing by an officer of BSH.
