What this Warranty Covers & Who it Applies to: The limited warranty
provided by BSH Home Appliances in this Statement of Limited Product
Warranty applies only to the Thermador Dishwashers (“Product”) sold to
you, the rst 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 rst purchaser of the Product and are not transferable. Thermador
reserves the right to request proof of purchase at the time any warranty
claim is submitted to con rm 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 Thermador to
notify you in the unlikely event of a safety notice or product recall.
How Long the Warranty Lasts: Thermador warrants that the Product
is free from defects in materials and workmanship for a period of three
hundred sixty- ve 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.
Repair/Replace as Your Exclusive Remedy: During this warranty period,
Thermador 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 Thermador will replace your Product
(upgraded models may be available to you, in Thermador’s sole discretion,
for an additional charge). All removed parts and components shall become
the property of Thermador 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. Thermador’s sole liability and responsibility hereunder is to repair
manufacturer-defective Product only, using a Thermador-authorized service
provider during normal business hours. For safety and property damage
concerns, Thermador highly recommends that you do not attempt to
repair the Product yourself, or use an un-authorized servicer; Thermador
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 Thermador
products, and who possess, in Thermador’s opinion, a superior reputation
for customer service and technical ability (note that they are independent
entities and are not agents, partners, af liates or representatives of
Thermador ). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Thermador 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, Thermador 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: Thermador 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.
