Statement of Limited Product Warranty

22

What this Warranty Covers & Who it Applies to: The limited warranty provided by BSH Home Appliances (“Bosch”) in this Statement of Limited

Product Warranty applies only to Bosch dishwashers (“Product”) sold to you, the rst using purchaser, provided that the Product was purchased:

(1) for your normal, household (non-commercial) use, and has in fact at all times only been used for normal household purposes; (2) new at retail

(not a display, “as is”, or previously returned model), and not for resale, or commercial use; and (3) 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 rst 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.

How Long the Warranty Lasts: Bosch warrants that the Product is free from defects in materials and workmanship for a period of three hundred sixty ve (365) days (i.e., 1 year) 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.

Extended Limited Warranty: Bosch also provides these additional limited warranties:

•

2 Year Limited Warranty: Bosch will repair or replace any component that proves to be defective in materials or workmanship

(excludes labor charges).

•

5 Year Limited Warranty on Electronics: Bosch will repair or replace any Bosch microprocessor or printed circuit board if it proves to be defective in materials or workmanship (excludes labor charges).

•

5 Year Limited Warranty on Dish Racks: Bosch will replace the upper or lower dish rack (excluding rack components), if the rack proves defective in materials or workmanship (excludes labor charges).

• Lifetime Warranty against Stainless Steel Rust Through: Bosch will replace your dishwasher with the same model or a current model that is substantially equivalent or better in functionality, if the inner liner should rust through (excludes labor charges). Bosch will replace the stainless steel door if the door should rust through

(excludes labor charges).

The foregoing timeline begins to run upon the date of purchase, and shall not be stalled, tolled, extended, or suspended, for any reason whatsoever.

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, af liates 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 excludes all defects or damage that are not the direct fault of Bosch, including without limitation, one or more of the following: (1) use of the Product in anything other than its normal, customary and intended manner (including without limitation, any form of commercial use, use or storage of an indoor product outdoors, use of the Product in conjunction with air or water-going vessels);

(2) 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 “ xing” or exploration of the appliance’s internal workings); (3) adjustment, alteration or modi cation of any kind; (4) 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 re and building codes and regulations; (5) ordinary wear and tear, spills of food, liquid, grease accumulations, or other substances that accumulate on, in, or around the Product; and (6) any external, elemental and/or environmental forces and factors, including without limitation, rain, wind, sand, oods, res, 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, oors, ceilings, and other structures or objects around the Product.

Also excluded from this warranty are scratches, nicks, minor dents, and cosmetic damages on external surfaces and exposed parts; 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 Product; 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/ ooring, and for any alterations including without limitation cabinetry, walls, oors, shelving, etc.); and resetting of breakers or fuses.

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
