Statement of Limited Product
Warranty
What this Warranty Covers and To Whom it Applies:
The limited warranty provided by BSH Home Appliances
(“Bosch”) in this Statement of Limited Product Warranty applies
only to the Bosch freestanding and slide-in range, (“Product”) sold
to you, the first using purchaser, provided that the Product was
purchased: (1) for your normal, household (non-commercial) use,
and has in fact at all times only been used for normal household
purposes; (2) new at retail (not a display, “as is”, or previously
returned model), and not for resale, or commercial use; and (3)
within the United States or Canada, and has at all times remained
within the country of original purchase. The warranties stated
herein apply only to the first purchaser of the Product and are not
transferable. Bosch reserves the right to request proof of
purchase at the time any warranty claim is submitted to confirm
that the Product falls within the scope of this limited product
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 days
(365) days 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.
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
a reasonable number of 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
