appendix 2 : legal provisions concerning the guarantee of conformity and the guarantee of hidden defects

 

The consumer has two years from the delivery of the goods to obtain the enforcement of the legal guarantee of conformity if a lack of conformity occurs. During this period, the consumer is only required to establish the existence of the lack of conformity, but not when it occured.

If the sales contract provides for a digital content/service to be supplied continuously for a period of more than two years, the legal warranty is applicable to this digital content/service throughout the entire period of provision. During this period, the consumer is only required to establish the existence of the lack of conformity affecting the digital content/service, but not when it occured.

The legal guarantee of conformity requires the professional, if applicable, to provide all necessary updates to maintain the conformity of the product.

The legal guarantee of conformity gives the consumer the right to have the good repaired or replaced within thirty days following its request, without any cost or major inconvenience to them.

If the product is repaired under the legal guarantee of conformity, the consumer benefit from a six-month extension of the initial guarantee.

If the consumer asks for the product to be repaired, but the seller requires it to be replaced, the legal guarantee of conformity is renewed for a period of two years from the date of replacement of the product.

The consumer may obtain a reduction of the price by retaining the product or may terminate the contract by obtaining a complete refund in exchange for the product restitution, if:

1° The seller refuses to repair or replace the product;

2° The repair or replacement of the product takes place after a period of thirty days;

3° The repair or replacement of the good causes a major inconvenience for the consumer, particularly when the consumer definitively bears the cost of taking back or removing the non-conforming product, or if he bears the cost of the installation of the repaired or replaced product;

4° The non-conformity of the product persists despite the seller's unsuccessful attempt to bring it into conformity.

The consumer is entitled to obtain a reduction of the product’s price or termination of the contract if the lack of conformity is so significant that it justifies an immediate reduction of the price or termination of the contract. The consumer is then not required to request prior repair or replacement of the product.

The consumer is not entitled to cancel the sale if the lack of conformity is not significant.

Any period during which the products are immobilized in order to be repaired or replaced suspends the guarantee that was still running until the delivery of the repaired product.

The rights mentioned above result from the application of articles L. 217-1 to L. 217-32 of the French Consumer Code.

A seller who deliberately interferes with the application of the legal guarantee of conformity is liable to a civil fine up to 300,000 euros, which may be increased to 10% of the average annual turnover (article L. 241-5 of the Consumer Code).

The consumer also benefits from the legal guarantee of hidden defects as provided for in Articles 1641 to 1649 of the French Civil Code, for a period of two years from the discovery of the defect. This guarantee gives the right to a price reduction if the product is kept or to a full refund if the product is returned.
