Text referred to in Article D 211-2 of the French Consumer Code
Consumers have a period of two years from the date of delivery of the goods in which to invoke the legal guarantee of conformity in the event of a lack of conformity. During this period, the consumer is only required to establish the existence of the lack of conformity and not the date of its appearance.
Where the contract for the sale of the goods provides for the supply of digital content or a digital service on a continuous basis for a period of more than two years, the legal guarantee applies to this digital content or digital service throughout the period of supply. During this period, the consumer is only required to establish the existence of the lack of conformity affecting the digital content or the digital service and not the date of its appearance.
The legal guarantee of conformity requires the trader, where applicable, to provide any updates necessary to maintain the conformity of the goods.
The legal guarantee of conformity gives the consumer the right to repair or replace the goods within thirty days of his request, free of charge and without any major inconvenience to him.
If the goods are repaired under the legal conformity guarantee, the consumer benefits from a six-month extension of the initial guarantee.
If the consumer asks for the goods to be repaired, but the seller requires them to be replaced, the legal guarantee of conformity is renewed for a period of two years from the date on which the goods are replaced.
The consumer may obtain a reduction in the purchase price by keeping the goods or terminate the contract by obtaining a full refund in exchange for the return of the goods, if :
1° The trader refuses to repair or replace the goods;
2° The goods are repaired or replaced after a period of thirty days;
3° The repair or replacement of the goods causes a major inconvenience for the consumer, in particular where the consumer definitively bears the cost of taking back or removing the non-conforming goods, or if he bears the cost of installing the repaired or replacement goods;
4° The non-conformity of the goods persists despite the seller's unsuccessful attempt to bring the goods into conformity.
The consumer is also entitled to a reduction in the price of the goods or to rescission of the contract where the lack of conformity is so serious as to justify immediate reduction in the price or rescission of the contract. In such cases, the consumer is not obliged to ask for the goods to be repaired or replaced beforehand. The consumer is not entitled to have the sale rescinded if the lack of conformity is minor.
Any period of immobilisation of the goods with a view to their repair or replacement suspends the warranty which was in force until the delivery of the repaired goods.
The rights mentioned above result from the application of articles L. 217-1 to L. 217-32 of the French Consumer Code.
Any seller who obstructs the implementation of the legal guarantee of conformity in bad faith is liable to a civil fine of up to 300,000 euros, which may be increased to 10% of average annual sales (article L. 241-5 of the French Consumer Code).
Consumers also benefit from the legal guarantee against hidden defects under articles 1641 to 1649 of the French Civil Code, for a period of two years from the discovery of the defect. This guarantee entitles the consumer to a price reduction if the goods are kept or to a full refund if the goods are returned.
The Consumer Customer may request the implementation of the aforementioned legal guarantees by contacting the Seller using the contact details given in article 6 of the General Terms and Conditions of Sale above.
