      Appendix 1: Legal texts relating to guarantees

      Article L. 217-4 of the Consumer Code

      The seller is required to deliver goods that comply with the contract and is liable for any lack of conformity existing at the time of delivery. It also responds to any lack of conformity resulting from the packaging, the assembly instructions or the installation when this has been charged to it by the contract or has been carried out under its responsibility.

      Article L. 217-5 of the Consumer Code

      The good complies with the contract:

      If it is specific to the use usually expected of a similar good and, where applicable:

      – if it corresponds to the description given by the seller and has the qualities that the latter presented to the Buyer in the form of a sample or model;

      – if it has the qualities that a Buyer can legitimately expect given the public statements made by the seller, the producer or his representative, in particular in advertising or labeling;

      Or if it has the characteristics defined by mutual agreement by the parties or is suitable for any special use sought by the Buyer, brought to the attention of the seller and which the latter has accepted.

      Article L. 217-7 Consumer Code

      Defects of conformity which appear within twenty-four months of delivery of the goods are presumed to exist at the time of delivery, unless proven otherwise. For goods sold second-hand, this period is set at six months.The seller can challenge this presumption if it is not compatible with the nature of the goods or the alleged lack of conformity

      Article L. 217-8 Consumer Code

      The Buyer is entitled to demand that the goods conform to the contract. He cannot, however, contest conformity by invoking a defect which he knew or could not ignore when he contracted. The same applies when the defect has its origin in the materials supplied by him.

      Article L. 217-9 Consumer Code

      In the event of a lack of conformity, the Buyer chooses between the repair and the replacement of the good. However, the seller may not proceed according to the Buyer's choice if this choice entails a manifestly disproportionate cost with regard to the other method, taking into account the value of the good or the importance of the defect. He is then required to proceed, unless this is impossible, according to the method not chosen by the Buyer.

      Article L. 217-10 Consumer Code

      If the repair and replacement of the good is impossible, the Buyer can return the good and have the price refunded or keep the good and have part of the price refunded. The same option is open to him:

      1° If the solution requested, proposed or agreed pursuant to Article L. 217-9 cannot be implemented within one month of the Buyer's complaint;

      2° Or if this solution cannot be without major inconvenience for him, given the nature of the good and the use he is looking for.

      The rescission of the sale cannot however be pronounced if the lack of conformity is minor. »

      Article L.217-11 of the Consumer Code

      The application of the provisions of Articles L. 217-9 and L. 217-10 takes place at no cost to the Buyer. These same provisions do not preclude the award of damages.

      Article L. 217-12 of the Consumer Code

      The action resulting from the lack of conformity is prescribed by two years from the delivery of the goods.

      Article L. 217-16 of the Consumer Code

      When the Buyer requests from the Seller, during the course of the commercial guarantee which was granted to him during the acquisition or repair of movable property, a restoration covered by the guarantee, any period of immobilization of at least seven days is added to the duration of the guarantee which remained to run. This period runs from the Buyer's request for intervention or the provision for repair of the good in question, if this provision is subsequent to the request for intervention.

      Article 1641 of the Civil Code

      The seller is bound by the warranty for hidden defects in the thing sold which render it unfit for the use for which it is intended, or which so diminish this use that the Buyer would not have acquired it, or would have paid less, if he had known them.
