BSH warrants that its Cooktop is free from defects in materials and workmanship for
a period of twelve (12) months from the Date of Installation. During the warranty
period, BSH or its authorized service center will repair or replace, at its sole option,
any Cooktop that proves to have been defective under conditions of normal use
without charge. All removed parts and components shall become the property of
BSH, at BSH's 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.
BSH further warrants that the electric heating elements and controls of the Cooktop
and the ceramic glass of the Cooktop shall be free from defects in materials for a
period of time beginning on the twelfth (12th) month from the Date of Installation and
continuing until the sixtieth (60th) month from the Date of Installation ("extended
warranty period"). During the extended warranty period,
BSH will replace any electric heating elements, controls, or ceramic glass of the
Cooktop that proves to have been defective under normal conditions of use without
charge, excluding any labor (including but not limited to labor charges incurred in
the removal and reinstallation of any Cooktop), transportation, and/or shipping costs
incurred in the performance of this extended warranty. All replaced parts covered
under this paragraph shall assume the Identity of the original for purposes of this
extended warranty and this warranty shall not be extended with respect to such
parts.
The warranties provided in this Statement of Limited Warranty exclude defects or
damage resulting from (1) use of the Cooktop in other than its normal and
customary manner (commercial use of the Cooktop shall not be deemed normal or
customary), (2) misuse, abuse, accidents or neglect, (3) improper operation,
maintenance, installation or unauthorized service, (4) adjustment or alteration or
modification of any kind, (5) a failure to comply with applicable state, local, city, and
county electrical and/or building codes, (6) spills of food or liquid, and (7) external
forces such as floods, fires, acts of God or other circumstances beyond BSH's
control. Also excluded from this warranty are scratches and damages on external
surfaces and exposed parts of Cooktops on which the serial numbers have been
altered, defaced of removed.
To the extent allowed by law, this warranty sets out your exclusive remedies with
respect to products covered by it, whether the claim arises in contract or tort
(including strict liability and negligence) or otherwise. BSH will not be liable for
consequential or incidental damages, losses, or expenses. THIS WARRANTY IS IN
LIEU OF ALL OTHER EXPRESS WARRANTIES. ANY WARRANTY IMPLIED BY
LAW, WHETHER FOR MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
PURPOSE OR OTHERWISE, SHALL BE EFFECTIVE ONLY FOR THE PERIOD
THAT THIS EXPRESS WARRANTY IS EFFECTIVE. No attempt to alter, modify, or
amend this warranty shall be effective unless authorized in writing by an officer of
BSH.
If your Cooktop needs warranty service and there is no authorized BSH service
center reasonably close to you, you may notify the BSH reseller from whom you
purchased the Cooktop. If the BSH reseller fails to repair or replace the defective
parts, or partially refund your purchase price (where applicable), you may have the
Cooktop repaired at any large appliance repair shop or center and you will be
reimbursed for all reasonable expenses provided the costs are substantiated in
writing and the work performed is covered by this warranty. BSH shall not reimburse
any repair costs hereunder which exceed the depreciated value of the Cooktop.
