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.
