STATEMENT OF LIMITED PRODUCT WARRANTY
Bosch Fridge-freezer
What this Warranty Covers & Who it
Applies to: The limited warranty provided BSH
Home Appliances in this Statement of Limited
Product Warranty applies only to the Bosch
Fridge-freezer (“Product”) sold to you, the first
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 first 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-five days (365) days 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.
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 a reasonable number of
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 AUTO-
MATICALLY 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.
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).
̨ Lifetime Warranty against
Stainless Steel Rust Thrugh: Bosch
will repair or replace any component that
proves to be defective in materials or
workmanship (excludes labor charges).
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
“fixing” or exploration of the appliance's internal
workings); (4) adjustment, alteration or
modification of any kind; (5) 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 fire
and building codes and regulations;
(6) ordinary wear and tear, spills of food, liquid,
grease accumulations, or other substances
that accumulate on, in, or around the Product;
and (7) any external, elemental and/or
environmental forces and factors, including
without limitation, rain, wind, sand, floods, fires,
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,
floors, 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/flooring, and for any alterations
including without limitation cabinetry, walls,
floors, shelving, etc.); and resetting of breakers
or fuses.
TO THE EXTENT ALLOWED BY LAW, THIS
WARRANTY SETS OUT YOUR EXCLUSIVE
REMEDIES WITH RESPECT TO
PRODUCT, WHETHER THE 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 IMPLIED BY
LAW, WHETHER FOR
MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A
PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR
OTHERWISE, SHALL BE EFFECTIVE

INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT, “BUSINESS
LOSS”, AND/OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES,
LOSSES, OR EXPENSES, INCLUDING
WITHOUT LIMITATION TIME AWAY FROM
WORK, HOTELS AND/OR RESTAURANT
MEALS, REMODELLING EXPENSES IN
EXCESS OF DIRECT DAMAGES WHICH
ARE DEFINITIVELY CAUSED
EXCLUSIVELY BY BOSCH, OR
OTHERWISE. SOME STATES DO NOT
ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION
OF INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL
DAMAGES, AND SOME STATES DO NOT
ALLOW LIMITATIONS ON HOW LONG
IMPLIED WARRANTY LASTS, SO THE
ABOVE LIMITATIONS MAY NOT APPLY
TO YOU. THIS WARRANTY GIVES YOU
SPECIFIC LEGAL RIGHTS, AND YOU MAY
ALSO HAVE OTHER RIGHTS, WHICH
VARY FROM STATE TO STATE. No attempt
to alter, modify or amend this warranty shall be
effective unless authorized in writing by an
officer of BSH.
