How Long the Warranty Lasts

STATEMENT OF LIMITED PRODUCT WARRANTY

What this Warranty Cov- ers & Who it Applies to

Repair/Replace as Your Exclusive Remedy

Out of Warranty Product

The limited warranty provided by BSH Home Appliances Thermador in this State- ment of Limited Product Warranty applies only to the Thermador appliance sold to you, the first using purchaser, provided that the Product was purchased:

•For your normal, household (non-commercial) use, and has in fact at all times only been used for normal household purposes.

•New at retail (not a display, "as is", or previously returned model), and not for resale, or commercial use.

•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 Thermador to notify you in the unlikely event of a safety notice or product recall.

Thermador warrants that the Product is free from defects in materials and work- manship for a period of twelve (12) months from the date of purchase. The fore- going timeline begins to run upon the date of purchase, and shall not be stalled, tolled, extended, or suspended, for any reason whatsoever.

During this warranty period, Thermador 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 Thermador will replace your Product (upgraded models may be available to you, in Thermador's sole discretion, for an additional charge). All removed parts and components shall become the property of Thermador 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 re- spect to such parts. Thermador's sole liability and responsibility hereunder is to re- pair manufacturer-defective Product only, using a Thermador-authorized service provider during normal business hours. For safety and property damage concerns, Thermador highly recommends that you do not attempt to repair the Product your- self, or use an un-authorized servicer; Thermador will have no responsibility or lia- bility 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. Autho- rized service providers are those persons or companies that have been specially trained on Thermador products, and who possess, in Thermador's opinion, a su- perior reputation for customer service and technical ability (note that they are inde- pendent entities and are not agents, partners, affiliates or representatives of Thermador). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Thermador 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, haz- ardous, threatening, or treacherous locale, surroundings, or environment; in any such event, if you request, Thermador would still pay for labor and parts and ship the parts to the nearest authorized service provider, but you would still be fully lia- ble and responsible for any travel time or other special charges by the service com- pany, assuming they agree to make the service call.

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