Appendix:

Consumer Code

Article L. 217-4: "The seller delivers goods in conformity with the contract and is responsible for defects in conformity existing at the time of delivery.
He is also liable for defects in conformity resulting from the packaging, the assembly instructions or the installation when the latter was made his responsibility by the contract or was carried out under his responsibility."

Article L. 217-5 : "The property is in conformity with the contract:

1° If it is fit for the purpose usually expected of similar goods and, if applicable:

- if it corresponds to the description given by the seller and has 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 producer or his representative, in particular in advertising or labelling;

2° Or if it has the characteristics defined by mutual agreement between the parties or is fit for any special purpose sought by the buyer, brought to the attention of the seller and accepted by the latter."

Article L. 217-6 : "The seller is not bound by the public statements of the producer or his representative if it is established that he did not know them and could not legitimately have known them".

Article L. 217-7 : "Defects of conformity that appear within twenty-four months from the delivery of the goods are presumed to exist at the time of delivery, unless proven otherwise. For goods sold second-hand, this period is set at six months. The seller may rebut this presumption if it is not consistent with the nature of the good or the claimed lack of conformity."

Article L. 217-8 : "The buyer is entitled to demand that the goods conform to the contract. He may not, however, contest conformity by invoking a defect of which he was aware or could not have been unaware when he contracted. The same applies when the defect has its origin in the materials he himself supplied."

Article L. 217-9 : "In case of 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 entails a cost that is clearly disproportionate to the other method, given the value of the goods or the importance of the defect. He is then obliged to proceed, unless it is impossible, according to the method not chosen by the buyer."

Article L. 217-10 : "If repair and replacement of the property is impossible, the buyer may return the property and have the price returned or keep the property and have part of the price returned. The same option is open to him:

1° If the solution requested, proposed or agreed upon pursuant to Article L. 217-9 cannot be implemented within one month of the buyer's complaint;

2° Or if this solution cannot be implemented without major inconvenience for the buyer, given the nature of the goods and the use he is seeking. The resolution of the sale cannot however be pronounced if the defect of conformity is minor."

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

Article L. 217-12 : "The action resulting from the defect of conformity is prescribed by two years as from the delivery of the good."

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

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 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 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.

This period runs from the date of the buyer's request for intervention or from the time the item in question is made available for repair, if this availability is subsequent to the request for intervention."

Civil Code

Article 1641 : "The seller is bound by the warranty for hidden defects of the thing sold which make it unfit for the purpose for which it was intended, or which so diminish this use that the buyer would not have acquired it, or would only have given a lower price, if he had known about them."

Article 1648 : "The action resulting from redhibitory defects must be brought by the purchaser within two years of the discovery of the defect. In the case provided for in article 1642-1, the action must be brought, under penalty of foreclosure, within one year from the date on which the seller may be relieved of the defects or lack of conformity".
