    "The seller delivers goods in conformity with the contract and is liable for any lack of conformity existing at the time of delivery.

    Article L. 217-5 of the Consumer Code

    "The product conforms to the contract:

    1. if it is specific to the use normally expected of a similar product and, if so:
      • if it corresponds to the description provided by the seller and possesses the qualities that the seller has presented to the buyer in the form of a sample or model;
      • if it has the qualities that a buyer can legitimately expect in view of the public statements made by the seller, the manufacturer or their representative, in particular through advertising or labelling;
    2. or if it has the characteristics defined by a 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 of the Consumer Code

    "The seller is not bound by the public statements of the manufacturer or their representative if it is determined that were not aware of them and was in no position to be able to know about them".

     

    Article L. 217-7 of the Consumer Code

    "Lack of conformity which becomes apparent within 24 months of the delivery of the goods shall be presumed to exist at the time of delivery, unless proven otherwise. For second-hand goods, this period is set to six months.

    The seller may challenge this presumption if it is not compatible with the nature of the goods or the alleged lack of conformity”.

     

    Article L. 217-8 of the Consumer Code

    "The buyer is entitled to demand that the goods comply with the contract. However, they cannot contest the conformity by invoking a defect that they knew about or couldn't possibly have ignored when they received it. The same shall apply when the defect is found in the materials that they themselves supplied.

     

    Article L. 217-9 of the Consumer Code

    "In the event of lack of conformity, the buyer shall choose between repair or replacement of the goods.

    However, the seller may not proceed according to the buyer's choice if this choice comes at a cost that is clearly disproportionate to the other method, taking into account the value of the goods or the significance of the defect. They are then required to proceed, unless impossible, according to the method not chosen by the buyer.

     

    Article L. 217-10 of the Consumer Code

    "If repair and replacement of the product is not possible, the buyer may return the product and be reimbursed or keep the product and be partially reimbursed.

    The same option is open to them:

    • if the requested solution, proposed or agreed pursuant to Article L. 217-9 cannot be implemented within one month of the buyer's complaint;
    • Or if this solution cannot be conveniently carried out for the buyer given the nature of the product and its use.

    However, the sale may not be cancelled if the lack of conformity is minor”.

     

    Article L. 217-11 of the Consumer Code

    "The provisions of Articles L. 217-9 and L. 217-10 shall be applied at no cost to the buyer. These same provisions shall not prevent the granting of damages”.

    Article L. 217-14 of the Consumer Code

    The commercial warranty is a written contract, a copy of which is given to the buyer.

    The contract specifies the content of the warranty, the terms of its implementation, its price, its duration, its territorial scope and the name and address of the guarantor.

    In addition, it clearly and precisely mentions that, independently of the commercial warranty, the seller remains bound by the legal warranty of conformity mentioned in Articles L. 217-4 to L. 217-12 as well as that relating to defects of the item 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 fully reproduced in the contract.

    In the event of non-compliance with these provisions, the warranty remains valid. The buyer is entitled to use it".

     

    Article L. 217-16 of the Consumer Code

    "When the buyer requests a repair covered by the warranty from the seller, during the course of the commercial warranty granted to them upon buying or repairing movable property, the warranty shall be frozen for at least seven days and shall be added to the remaining term of the warranty.

    Article 1641 of the Civil Code

    "The seller is bound by the warranty on account of hidden defects in the item sold making it unfit for its intended use, or which reduce this use to such an extent that the buyer would not have bought it, or would have paid a much a lower price for it, if they had known about these defects".
