Annex :

Consumer Code

Article L. 217-4 : “The seller delivers goods in conformity with the contract and is liable for any lack of conformity existing at the time of delivery.

He is also liable for defects in conformity resulting from the packaging, assembly instructions or installation when this has been his responsibility by the contract or has been carried out under his responsibility.”

Article L. 217-5 : “The property complies with the contract:

1° If it is suitable for the use usually expected of similar goods and, where applicable:

- if it corresponds to the description given by the seller and has the qualities that the seller presented to the buyer in the form of a sample or model;

- if it presents the qualities that a buyer can legitimately expect having regard to the public declarations made by the seller, by the producer or by his representative, in particular in advertising or labeling;

2° Or if it presents the characteristics defined by mutual agreement between the parties or is suitable for any special use sought by the buyer, brought to the attention of the seller and which the latter has accepted.”

Article L. 217-6 : “The seller is not bound by the public declarations of the producer or his representative if it is established that he did not know them and was not legitimately in a position to know them”.

Article L. 217-8 : “The buyer has the right to demand that the goods conform to the contract. He cannot, however, contest conformity by invoking a defect that he knew or could not have ignored when he contracted. The same applies when the defect has its origin in the materials he himself supplied.”

Article L. 217-9 : “In the event of a lack of conformity, the buyer chooses between repair and replacement of the goods. However, the seller may not proceed according to the buyer's choice if this choice results in a cost that is manifestly disproportionate with regard to the other method, taking into account the value of the goods or the importance of the defect. He is then required to proceed, unless impossible, according to the method not chosen by the buyer.”

Article L. 217-10 : “If repair and replacement of the goods are impossible, the buyer may return the goods and have the price refunded or keep the goods and have part of the price refunded. The same option is open to him: 1° If the solution requested, proposed or agreed pursuant to article L. 217-9 cannot be implemented within one month following the buyer's complaint; 2° Or if this solution cannot be done without major inconvenience for him taking into account the nature of the property and the use he is seeking. However, the sale cannot be canceled if the lack of conformity is minor.”

Article L. 217-11 : The application of the provisions of Articles L. 217-9 and L. 217-10 takes place at no cost to the buyer. These same provisions do not prevent the award of damages.

Article L. 217-13 : "the provisions of this section do not deprive the buyer of the right to take action resulting from redhibitory defects as it results from articles 1641 to 1649 of the civil code or any other action of contractual or extra-contractual nature recognized by law."

Article L. 217-14 : "Recursory action may be exercised by the final seller against successive sellers or intermediaries and the producer of the tangible movable property, according to the principles of the civil code.

The commercial guarantee is the subject of a written contract, a copy of which is given to the buyer.
The contract specifies the content of the guarantee, the terms of its implementation, its price, its duration, its territorial extent as well as the name and address of the guarantor.
In addition, it clearly and precisely mentions that, independently of the commercial guarantee, the seller remains bound by the legal guarantee of conformity mentioned in articles L. 217-4 to L. 217-12 and that relating to defects in the thing sold, under the conditions provided for in articles 1641 to 1648 and 2232 of the civil code.
The provisions of articles L. 217-4, L. 217-5, L. 217-12 and L. 217-16 as well as article 1641 and the first paragraph of article 1648 of the civil code are reproduced in full in the CONTRACT.
In the event of non-compliance with these provisions, the warranty remains valid. The buyer is entitled to take advantage of this."

Article L. 217-16 : “When the buyer requests from the seller, during the course of the commercial guarantee which was granted to him during the acquisition or repair of movable property, a restoration covered by the warranty, any downtime period of at least seven days is added to the remaining warranty period.

This period runs from the buyer's request for intervention or the making available for repair of the good in question, if this making available is subsequent to the request for intervention.”

Civil Code

Article 1641 : “The seller is bound by the guarantee for hidden defects in the thing sold which make it unfit for the use for which it is intended, or which reduce this use to such an extent that the buyer would not have acquired it , or would have given only a lower price, if he had known them.”
