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 appliance sold to you, the first
using purchaser, provided that the Product was
purchased:
For your normal, household (non-commercial) use,
▯
and has in fact at all times only been used for normal
household purposes.
New at retail (not a display, "as is", or previously
▯
returned model), and not for resale, or commercial
use.
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. 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.
Limitation for Third Party Accessories and Water
Supply Hoses: Third party accessories, including water
supply hoses other than those shipped with your Bosch
washer, and any consequential damages resulting
therefrom, are not covered by this warranty. This
limitation expressly includes the implied warranties of
merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose,
which are also expressly excluded with respect to third
party accessories, including water supply hoses other
than those shipped with your Bosch washer. Use of third
party accessories, including water supply hoses other
than those shipped with your Bosch washer, does not
void this warranty on any other part, and all other
provisions of this warranty remain in effect.
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 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, chips, 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 reasonable 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 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 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.
SCOPE OF EXTENDED LIMITED WARRANTY
Bosch will repair or replace, free of charge any printed
circuit boards, drive motor or component part of the
motor that proves defective under conditions of normal
home use during the first seven hundred thirty (730)
days from the date of purchase, labor charges excluded.
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.
