possess, in BSH's opinion, a superior reputation for
customer service and technical ability (note that they are

responsibility, for the Product if it is located in a remote

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.
