16 - LEGAL GUARANTEES
The Customer benefits from the guarantee of hidden defects, provided for in the provisions of Articles 1641 et seq. of the Civil Code, and the guarantee of conformity, provided for in Articles L.217-1 et seq. of the Consumer Code, on tangible movable property, except in cases of exemption provided for by law.
The consumer has a period of two years from delivery of the goods to obtain the implementation of the legal guarantee of conformity in the event of the appearance of a lack of conformity. During this period, the consumer is only required to establish the existence of the lack of conformity and not the date on which it appeared.
Where the contract for the sale of the goods provides for the continuous supply of digital content or a digital service for a period exceeding two years, the legal guarantee is applicable to this digital content or this digital service throughout the period of supply provided. During this period, the consumer is only required to establish the existence of the lack of conformity affecting the digital content or the digital service and not the date on which it appeared.
The legal guarantee of conformity requires the professional, where applicable, to provide all updates necessary to maintain the conformity of the goods.
The legal guarantee of conformity gives the consumer the right to have the goods repaired or replaced within thirty days of their request, free of charge and without any major inconvenience to them.
If the product is repaired under the legal guarantee of conformity, the consumer benefits from a six-month extension of the initial guarantee.
If the consumer requests the repair of the goods, but the seller imposes replacement, the legal guarantee of conformity is renewed for a period of two years from the date of replacement of the goods.
The consumer may obtain a reduction in the purchase price by keeping the goods or terminate the contract by obtaining a full refund upon return of the goods, if:
1° The professional refuses to repair or replace the goods;
2° The repair or replacement of the goods takes place after a period of thirty days;
3° The repair or replacement of the good causes a major inconvenience for the consumer, in particular when the consumer definitively bears the costs of recovery or removal of the non-compliant good, or if he bears the costs of installation of the repaired or replacement good;
4° The non-conformity of the goods persists despite the seller's unsuccessful attempt to bring them into conformity.
The consumer is also entitled to a reduction in the price of the goods or to the termination of the contract when the lack of conformity is so serious that it justifies the immediate reduction in price or termination of the contract. The consumer is then not required to request the repair or replacement of the goods beforehand.
The consumer is not entitled to cancel the sale if the lack of conformity is minor.
Any period of immobilization of the property for the purpose of its repair or replacement suspends the guarantee which remained to run until delivery of the repaired property.
The rights mentioned above result from the application of articles L. 217-1 to L. 217-32 of the consumer code.
A seller who, in bad faith, obstructs the implementation of the legal guarantee of conformity is liable to a civil fine of up to 300,000 euros, which may be increased to 10% of average annual turnover (Article L. 241-5 of the Consumer Code).
The consumer also benefits from the legal guarantee against hidden defects pursuant to Articles 1641 to 1649 of the Civil Code, for a period of two years from the discovery of the defect. This guarantee entitles the consumer to a price reduction if the item is kept or to a full refund upon return of the item.
The applicable provisions of the Consumer Code are recalled below:
Article L.217-3 of the Consumer Code
The seller delivers goods that comply with the contract and the criteria set out in Article L. 217-5.
It is liable for defects of conformity existing at the time of delivery of the goods within the meaning of Article L. 216-1, which appear within two years of this delivery.
In the case of a contract for the sale of goods containing digital elements:
1° When the contract provides for the continuous supply of digital content or a digital service for a period of less than or equal to two years, or when the contract does not determine the duration of supply, the seller is liable for any lack of conformity of this digital content or this digital service which appears within a period of two years from the delivery of the goods;
2° Where the contract provides for the continuous supply of digital content or a digital service for a period exceeding two years, the seller shall be liable for any lack of conformity of this digital content or this digital service which appears during the period during which it is supplied under the contract.
For such goods, the applicable deadline does not deprive the consumer of his right to updates in accordance with the provisions of Article L. 217-19.
The seller is also liable, during the same time limits, for defects in conformity resulting from the packaging, assembly instructions, or installation when this has been made his responsibility by the contract or has been carried out under his responsibility, or when the incorrect installation, carried out by the consumer as provided for in the contract, is due to gaps or errors in the installation instructions provided by the seller.
This warranty period applies without prejudice to Articles 2224 et seq. of the Civil Code. The starting point for the limitation period for the consumer's action is the day on which the latter becomes aware of the lack of conformity.
Article L.217-4 of the Consumer Code
The property complies with the contract if it meets, in particular, where applicable, the following criteria:
1° It corresponds to the description, type, quantity and quality, in particular with regard to functionality, compatibility, interoperability, or any other characteristics provided for in the contract;
2° It is suitable for any special use sought by the consumer, brought to the attention of the seller at the latest at the time of conclusion of the contract and which the latter has accepted;

2° Where applicable, it has the qualities that the seller presented to the consumer in the form of a sample or model, before the conclusion of the contract;
3° Where applicable, the digital elements it contains are provided according to the most recent version available at the time of conclusion of the contract, unless the parties agree otherwise;
4° Where applicable, it is delivered with all accessories, including packaging, and installation instructions that the consumer can legitimately expect;
5° Where applicable, it is provided with the updates that the consumer can legitimately expect, in accordance with the provisions of Article L. 217-19;
6° It corresponds to the quantity, quality and other characteristics, including in terms of durability, functionality, compatibility and safety, that the consumer can legitimately expect for goods of the same type, having regard to the nature of the goods as well as to the public statements made by the seller, by any person upstream in the chain of transactions, or by a person acting on their behalf, including in advertising or on labeling.
- -However, the seller is not bound by any public declarations mentioned in the preceding paragraph if he demonstrates:
1° That he did not know them and was not legitimately able to know them;
2° That at the time of the conclusion of the contract, the public declarations had been rectified under conditions comparable to the initial declarations; or
3° That the public statements could not have had any influence on the purchasing decision.
III. -The consumer may not contest conformity by invoking a defect concerning one or more particular characteristics of the good, of which he has been specifically informed that they deviate from the conformity criteria set out in this article, a deviation to which he has expressly and separately consented when concluding the contract.
The applicable provisions of the Civil Code are recalled below:
Article 1641 of the Civil Code
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 so much that the buyer would not have acquired it, or would have paid a lower price for it, if he had known of them.
Article 1643 of the Civil Code
He is liable for hidden defects, even if he was not aware of them, unless, in this case, he has stipulated that he will not be obliged to provide any guarantee.
Article 1644 of the Civil Code
In the case of Articles 1641 and 1643, the buyer has the choice of returning the item and having the price refunded, or of keeping the item and having part of the price refunded.
Article 1648 paragraph 1 of the Civil Code
The action resulting from latent defects must be brought by the buyer within 2 years from the discovery of the defect.

The Party noting the event must inform the other Party of the impossibility of performing its Service without delay, and provide proof thereof to the latter.
The performance of the obligation will be suspended for the entire duration of the force majeure if it is temporary and does not exceed a period of two (2) months.
The suspension of obligations may in no case be a cause of liability for non-performance of the obligation in question, nor lead to the payment of damages or late payment penalties.
As soon as the cause of suspension disappears, the Parties will make every effort to resume normal performance of their contractual obligations as quickly as possible.
If the impediment is permanent or exceeds a period of two (2) months, the Sale will be automatically terminated, without the right to compensation on either side, unless the Parties agree, where applicable, on the terms of continuing their relations.
