STATEMENT OF LIMITED PRODUCT WARRANTY
What this Warranty covers & Who it
Applies to:
The limited warranty provided by BSH
Home Appliances ("Bosch") in this
Statement of limited product Warranty
applies only to the Bosch 100 Series
washer ("Bosch") 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.
i 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 (365) days from the
date of purchase. The foregoing
timeline begins 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,
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 reasonable
attempts to repair the Product have
been made without success, then
Bosch will replace your Product
(upgrade 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 service
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 in a 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 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, by 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 storage of an indoor product
outdoors, use of the Product in
conjunction with air or water-going
vessels); (2) any party's willful
misconduct, negligence, misuse,
