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.  
Out of Warranty Product:  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.
Warranty Exclusions:  the warranty coverage described herein
