WARRANTIES AND COMPLIANCE The law on legal guarantees applies.
Legal guarantee of conformity:
The legal guarantee of conformity is provided for in Articles L.217-4 et seq. of the Consumer Code.
Under the legal guarantee of conformity, we are required to respond to any lack of conformity of the goods sold present at the time of delivery under the conditions of Article L.217-4 of the Consumer Code. However, we are not bound by the public statements of the producer or his representative if we are not aware of them.
When the consumer acts under the legal guarantee of conformity, he benefits from a period of 2 years from the delivery of the good to act; he can choose between the repair and the replacement of the good, subject to the cost conditions provided for in Article L 217-9 of the Consumer Code. The consumer is exempt from providing proof of the existence of the lack of conformity of the good during the 24 months following the delivery of the good, except for goods purchased second-hand for which a period of 6 months applies. The legal guarantee of conformity applies independently of any commercial guarantee that may have been granted. Legal guarantee against hidden defects: The consumer can decide to implement the guarantee against hidden defects of the thing sold within the meaning of Article 1641 of the Civil Code within a period of 2 years from the discovery of the defect. Under the legal guarantee of hidden defects, we are required to respond to hidden defects in the thing sold which make it unfit for the use for which it is intended or which reduce this use so much that the buyer would not have acquired it or would have paid a lower price for it if he had known about them. In this case, the consumer can choose between the resolution of the sale or a reduction in the sale price in accordance with article 1644 of the Civil Code.
