16 - LEGAL GUARANTEES
The Customer benefits, with respect to tangible movable property, except in cases of exemptions provided for by law, from the guarantee against hidden defects, provided for by the provisions of Articles 1641 et seq. of the Civil Code, and from the guarantee of conformity, provided for in Articles L.217-1 et seq. of the Consumer Code.
The consumer has two years from the date of delivery of the goods to invoke the legal guarantee of conformity in the event of a lack of conformity. During this period, the consumer is only required to prove the existence of the lack of conformity, not the date on which it appeared.
When a sales contract provides for the continuous provision of digital content or a digital service for a period exceeding two years, the statutory guarantee applies to that digital content or service throughout the entire provision period. During this period, the consumer is only required to prove the existence of the lack of conformity affecting the digital content or service, not the date on which it appeared.
The legal guarantee of conformity entails an obligation for 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 repair or replacement of the goods within thirty days of their request, free of charge and without major inconvenience to them.
If the item is repaired under the legal guarantee of conformity, the consumer benefits from a six-month extension of the initial guarantee.
If the consumer requests repair of the goods, but the seller insists on replacement, the legal guarantee of conformity is renewed for a period of two years from the date of replacement of the goods.
The consumer can obtain a reduction in the purchase price by keeping the goods or terminate the contract by receiving a full refund upon return of the goods, if:
1° The professional refuses to repair or replace the item;
2° The repair or replacement of the item takes place after a period of thirty days;
3° The repair or replacement of the goods causes a major inconvenience for the consumer, in particular when the consumer permanently bears the costs of taking back or removing the non-conforming goods, or if he bears the costs of installing the repaired or replacement goods;
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 price reduction or cancellation of the contract when the lack of conformity is so serious that it justifies an immediate price reduction or cancellation. In such cases, the consumer is not required to request repair or replacement of the goods beforehand.
The consumer is not entitled to rescind the sale if the lack of conformity is minor.
Any period of immobilization of the goods for the purpose of repair or replacement suspends the warranty which remained to run until delivery of the repaired goods.
The rights mentioned above result from the application of articles L. 217-1 to L. 217-32 of the Consumer Code.
A seller who obstructs in bad faith 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 the 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 goods are kept or to a full refund upon return of the goods.
The applicable provisions of the Consumer Code are recalled below:
Article L.217-3 of the Consumer Code
The seller delivers goods that conform to the contract and to the criteria set out in Article L. 217-5.
He 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 a period of two years from the date of delivery.
In the case of a sales contract for goods containing digital elements:
1° Where the contract provides for the continuous supply of digital content or a digital service for a period of two years or less, or where the contract does not specify the duration of supply, the seller is liable for defects in conformity of this digital content or digital service which appear within two years of 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 is liable for defects in conformity of that digital content or digital service which appear during the period during which it is supplied under the contract.
For such goods, the applicable time limit does not deprive the consumer of their right to updates in accordance with the provisions of Article L. 217-19.
The seller is also liable, during the same periods, for defects of conformity resulting from packaging, assembly instructions, or installation when the latter was his responsibility under the contract or was carried out under his responsibility, or when the incorrect installation, carried out by the consumer as provided for in the contract, is due to deficiencies 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 consumer becomes aware of the lack of conformity.
Article L.217-4 of the Consumer Code
The goods conform to the contract if they meet, in particular where applicable, the following criteria:
1° It corresponds to the description, type, quantity and quality, particularly with regard to functionality, compatibility, interoperability, or any other characteristics provided for in the contract;

4° Where applicable, it is delivered with all accessories, including packaging, and installation instructions that the consumer can legitimately expect;
5° Where appropriate, 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 from 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 labelling.
- However, the seller is not bound by all the public statements mentioned in the preceding paragraph if he demonstrates:
1° That he did not know them and was not legitimately in a position to know them;
2° That at the time the contract was concluded, the public statements had been rectified under conditions comparable to the initial statements; or
3° That the public statements could not have had any influence on the purchase decision.
III. -The consumer cannot contest conformity by invoking a defect concerning one or more particular characteristics of the goods, 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 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 shall in no case be a cause of liability for non-performance of the obligation in question, nor shall it 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 the 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 any right to compensation on either side, unless the Parties agree, if applicable, on the terms of continuing their relationship.
