commercial use; and (3) within the United States or Canada, and has at
all times remained within the country of original purchase. The warranties

Please make sure to return your registration card; while not necessary
to effectuate warranty coverage, it is the best way for Gaggenau to
notify you in the unlikely event of a safety notice or product recall.
How Long the Warranty Lasts: Gaggenau warrants that the Product is free
from defects in materials and workmanship for a period of one thousand eight
hundred twenty ive (1,825) days (5 years) from the date of purchase. The
foregoing timeline begins to run upon the date of purchase, and shall not be
stalled, tolled, extended, or suspended, for any reason whatsoever.
Repair/Replace as Your Exclusive Remedy: During this warranty period,
Gaggenau 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 a reasonable number of attempts to repair the Product
have been made without success, then Gaggenau will replace your Product
(upgraded models may be available to you, in Gaggenau’s sole discretion,
for an additional charge). All removed parts and components shall become
the property of Gaggenau 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. Gaggenau’s
sole liability and responsibility hereunder is to repair manufacturer-defective
Product only, using a Gaggenau-authorized service provider during normal
business hours. For safety and property damage concerns, Gaggenau highly
recommends that you do not attempt to repair the Product yourself, or use
an un-authorized servicer; Gaggenau] 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 Gaggenau products, and who possess, in
Gaggenau’s opinion, a superior reputation for customer service and technical
ability (note that they are independent entities and are not agents, partners,
afiliates or representatives of Gaggenau). Notwithstanding the foregoing,
Gaggenau 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, Gaggenau 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.
Extended Limited Warranty: Third thru sixth year from date of purchase
warranty on sealed refrigeration system parts as listed. Gaggenau will
pay for factory speciied replacement parts and repair labor costs to
correct defects in materials or workmanship in the sealed refrigeration
system. These parts are evaporator, condenser, dryer, and connecting
tubing. Seventh thru twelfth year from date of purchase warranty on sealed
refrigeration system parts only as listed. Service must be performed by a
Gaggenau designated service company.
Out of Warranty Product: Gaggenau 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.
