Repair/Replace
as Your
Exclusive
Remedy:
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
respect
to such parts.
Thermador's
sole
liability
and responsibility
hereunder
is to repair
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
yourself,
or use an unauthorized
servicer;
Thermador
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
Thermador
products,
and who
possess,
in Thermador'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 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, hazardous, 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 liable
and responsible for any travel time or other special charges by the
service company, assuming they agree to make the service call.

otherwise, to provide you with any concessions, including
