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

to have someone other than an authorized service provider work on
your Product, THIS WARRANTY WILL AUTOMATICALLY BECOME

companies that have been specially trained on Bosch products, and

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.
