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 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.

Bosch is under
no obligation,
at law or
otherwise,
to provide
you with
any concessions,
including
repairs,
pro-rates,
or Product
replacement,
once this warranty
has expired.
