Statement Of Limited - Bosch SGV68U53UC Operating Instructions Manual

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 Lim-
ited 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 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.
• Commercial Use such as office space, multi-housing properties (apartments, time-shares, etc.), and Hotel/Motel suites. (Any type of indus-
trial/restaurant use is not covered).
• 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 regis-
tration 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 hun-
dred and 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 mate-
rial and workmanship (such as scratches of stainless steel, paint/porcelain blemishes, chip, dents, or other damage to the finish of the Prod-
uct), 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 Prod-
uct (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 pro-
viders 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 repre-
sentatives 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 reasonably inaccessible, hazardous, threatening, or treacher-
ous 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 ser-
vice company, assuming they agree to make the service call.
Out of Warranty Product: Bosch is under no obligation, at law or otherwise, to provide you with any concessions, including repairs, prorates,
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:
• Use of the Product in anything other than its normal, customary and intended manner (including without limitation, use or storage of an
indoor product outdoors, use of the Product in conjunction with air or water-going vessels).
• Any party's willful misconduct, negligence, misuse, abuse, accidents, neglect, improper operation, failure to maintain, improper or negligent
installation, tampering, failure to follow operating instructions, mishandling, unauthorized service (including self performed "fixing" or
exploration of the appliance's internal workings).
• Adjustment, alteration or modification of any kind.
• A failure to comply with any applicable state, local, city, or county electrical, plumbing and/or building codes, regulations, or laws, including
failure to install the product in strict conformity with local fire and building codes and regulations.
• Ordinary wear and tear, spills of food, liquid, grease accumulations, or other substances that accumulate on, in, or around the Product.
• Any external, elemental and/or environmental forces and factors, including without limitation, rain, wind, sand, floods, fires, mud slides,
freezing temperatures, excessive moisture or extended exposure to humidity, lightning, power surges, structural failures surrounding the
appliance, and acts of God.
In no event shall Bosch have any liability or responsibility whatsoever for damage to surrounding property, including cabinetry, floors, ceil-
ings, and other structures or objects around the Product. Also excluded from this warranty are Products on which the serial numbers have
been altered, defaced, or removed; service visits to teach you how to use the Product, or visits where there is nothing wrong with the Prod-
uct; correction of installation problems (you are solely responsible for any structure and setting for the Product, including all electrical,
plumbing or other connecting facilities, for proper foundation/flooring, and for any alterations including without limitation cabinetry, walls,
floors, shelving, etc.); and resetting of breakers or fuses.
TO THE EXTENT ALLOWED BY LAW, THIS WARRANTY SETS OUT YOUR EXCLUSIVE REMEDIES WITH RESPECT TO PRODUCT, WHETHER THE
CLAIM ARISES IN CONTRACT OR TORT (INCLUDING STRICT LIABILITY, OR NEGLIGENCE) OR OTHERWISE. THIS WARRANTY IS IN LIEU OF
ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. ANY WARRANTY IMPLIED BY LAW, WHETHER FOR MERCHANTABILITY OR FIT-
NESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR OTHERWISE, SHALL BE EFFECTIVE ONLY FOR THE PERIOD THAT THIS EXPRESS LIMITED WAR-
RANTY IS EFFECTIVE. IN NO EVENT WILL THE MANUFACTURER BE LIABLE FOR CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT,
"BUSINESS LOSS", AND/OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, LOSSES, OR EXPENSES, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION TIME AWAY FROM WORK,
HOTELS AND/OR RESTAURANT MEALS, REMODELLING EXPENSES IN EXCESS OF DIRECT DAMAGES WHICH ARE DEFINITIVELY CAUSED
EXCLUSIVELY BY BOSCH, OR OTHERWISE. SOME STATES DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUEN-
TIAL DAMAGES, AND SOME STATES DO NOT ALLOW LIMITATIONS ON HOW LONG AN IMPLIED WARRANTY LASTS, SO THE ABOVE LIMITA-
TIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. THIS WARRANTY GIVES YOU SPECIFIC LEGAL RIGHTS, AND YOU MAY ALSO HAVE OTHER RIGHTS WHICH
VARY FROM STATE TO STATE.
No attempt to alter, modify or amend this warranty shall be effective unless authorized in writing by an officer of BSH.
