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 the
Tassimo by Bosch (“Bosch”) 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 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, 
THISWARRANTY 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. STATEMENT OF LIMITED PRODUCT WARRANTY
