12.2 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-five (365) days from the date of the original pur-
chase. The foregoing timeline begins to run upon the date
of the original purchase, and shall not be stalled, tolled,
extended, or suspended, for any reason whatsoever. This
Product is also warranted to be free from cosmetic de-
fects in material and workmanship (such as scratches of
stainless steel, paint/porcelain blemishes, chip, dents, or
other damage to the finish) of the Product, 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 fac-
tors. This cosmetic warranty specifically excludes any dis-
play, floor, "As Is", or "B" stock appliances.
12.3 Repair/replace as your exclusive rem-
edy
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 re-
pair 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 addi-
tional charge). Nothing in this warranty requires damaged
or defective parts to be replaced with parts of a different
type or design than the original part. 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 hereun-
der is to repair manufacturer-defective Product only, using
a Bosch authorized service provider during normal busi-
ness hours. For safety and property damage concerns,
Bosch highly recommends that you do not attempt to re-
pair the Product yourself, or use a non-authorized service
provider; Bosch will have no responsibility or liability for re-
pairs or work performed by a non-authorized service
provider. 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). Notwith-
standing the foregoing, Bosch will not incur any liability, or
have responsibility, for the Product if it is located in a re-
mote area (more than 100 miles from an authorized ser-
vice provider) or is reasonably inaccessible, hazardous,
threatening, or treacherous locale, surroundings, or envi-
ronment; in any such event, if you request, Bosch would
still pay for labor and parts and ship the parts to the near-
est 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.
12.4 Out of warranty product
Bosch is under no obligation, at law or otherwise, to pro-
vide you with any concessions, including repairs, prorates,
or Product replacement, once this warranty has expired.
