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,

aE] liates 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

Statement

of Limited

Product

Warranty

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.
