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.
