    16 - LEGAL GUARANTEES

    The Customer benefits on tangible movable property, except in cases of exemptions envisaged 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 a period of two years from delivery of the goods to obtain implementation of the legal guarantee of conformity in the event of a lack of conformity appearing. During this period, the consumer is only required to establish the existence of the lack of conformity and not the date of its appearance.

    When the contract of sale of the good provides for the supply of digital content or a digital service on a continuous basis for a period of more than two years, the legal guarantee is applicable to this digital content or this digital service throughout the planned supply period. 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 of its appearance.

    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 for them.

    If the item is repaired within the framework of the legal guarantee of conformity, the consumer benefits from a six-month extension of the initial guarantee.

    If the consumer requests repair of the good, but the seller requires replacement, the legal guarantee of conformity is renewed for a period of two years from the date of replacement of the good.

    The consumer can obtain a reduction in the purchase price by keeping the goods or end the contract by being reimbursed in full against 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 taking back or removing the non-compliant good, or if he bears the costs of installing the repaired or replacement good;

    4° The non-compliance of the goods persists despite the seller's unsuccessful attempt to bring them into conformity.

    The consumer also has the right to a reduction in the price of the good or to the termination of the contract when the lack of conformity is so serious that it justifies the reduction in the price or the termination of the contract being immediate. The consumer is then not required to request repair or replacement of the goods beforehand.

    The consumer does not have the right to cancel the sale if the lack of conformity is minor.

    Any period of immobilization of the good for its repair or replacement suspends the guarantee which remained to run until the delivery of the restored good.

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

    The seller who obstructs the implementation of the legal guarantee of conformity in bad faith incurs a civil fine of a maximum amount of 300,000 euros, which can 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 in application of articles 1641 to 1649 of the 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 item is kept or to a full refund against 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 as well as the criteria set out in article L. 217-5.

    He is responsible for defects in conformity existing at the time of delivery of the goods within the meaning of article L. 216-1, which appear within two years of 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 defects in conformity of this digital content or this digital service which appear within a period of two years from the delivery of the good;

     2° When the contract provides for the continuous supply of digital content or a digital service for a period of more than two years, the seller is 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 also responds, during the same periods, for defects in conformity resulting from the packaging, the assembly instructions, or the 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 prescription of the consumer's action is the day 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, 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;

     3° It is delivered with all accessories and installation instructions, to be supplied in accordance with the contract;

     4° It is updated in accordance with the contract.

     Article.L217-5 of the Consumer Code

     I.- In addition to the contract conformity criteria, the good is compliant if it meets the following criteria:

     1° It is suitable for the use usually expected of a good of the same type, taking into account, where applicable, any provision of European Union law and national law as well as all technical standards or, in the absence of such technical standards, specific codes of conduct applicable to the sector concerned;

     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 good as well as public declarations 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.

    1. -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 corrected 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 cannot contest conformity by invoking a defect concerning one or more particular characteristics of the good, of which he was specifically informed that they deviated from the conformity criteria set out in this article, a deviation to which he 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 only given a lower price, if he had known about them.

     Article 1643 of the civil code

    He is liable for hidden defects, even if he is 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 thing and having the price refunded, or keeping the thing and having part of the price refunded.

    Article 1648 paragraph 1 of the civil code

    Action resulting from redhibitory defects must be brought by the buyer within 2 years from the discovery of the defect.
