at all times only been used for normal household purposes; (2) new at

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.

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. Labor and
shipping costs are included in this basic coverage.

limited warranties:

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'ssole
discretion, for an additional charge). All removed parts and components
shall become the property of Boschat 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 THISWARRANTY
WILL AUTOMATICALLYBECOMENULL 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, Boschwill 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, 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.

otherwise, to provide you with any concessions, including repairs,
pro-rates, or Product replacement, once this warranty has expired.
