Consumer Code
Article L. 217-4 : “The seller delivers goods that conform to the contract and is liable for any lack of conformity existing at the time of delivery.
He is also liable for defects in conformity resulting from packaging, assembly instructions or installation when the latter was his responsibility under the contract or was carried out under his supervision.”
Article L. 217-5 : “The property conforms to the contract:
1° If it is suitable for the purpose usually expected of similar goods and, where applicable:
- if it corresponds to the description given by the seller and possesses the qualities that the latter presented to the buyer in the form of a sample or model;
- if it possesses the qualities that a buyer can legitimately expect, having regard to the public statements made by the seller, the producer or their representative, particularly in advertising or labelling;
2° Or if it possesses the characteristics defined by mutual agreement between the parties or is suitable for any special purpose sought by the buyer, brought to the attention of the seller and which the latter has accepted.”
Article L. 217-6 : “The seller is not bound by the public statements of the producer or his representative if it is established that he did not know them and was not legitimately in a position to know them”.
Article L. 217-7 : “Any lack of conformity which appears within twenty-four months of delivery of the goods is presumed to have existed at the time of delivery, unless proven otherwise. For second-hand goods, this period is set at six months. The seller may rebut this presumption if it is incompatible with the nature of the goods or the alleged lack of conformity.”
Article L. 217-8 : “The buyer is entitled to demand that the goods conform to the contract. However, he may not contest conformity by invoking a defect that he knew of or could not have been unaware of when he entered into the contract. The same applies when the defect originates from materials that he himself supplied.”
Article L. 217-9 : “In the event of a lack of conformity, the buyer may choose between repair and replacement of the goods. However, the seller may refuse to proceed according to the buyer's choice if that choice entails a cost that is clearly disproportionate to the other option, taking into account the value of the goods or the significance of the defect. In that case, the seller is required to proceed, unless impossible, according to the option not chosen by the buyer.”
Article L. 217-10 : “If repair and replacement of the goods are impossible, the buyer may return the goods and receive a full refund or keep the goods and receive a partial refund. The buyer has the same option: 1° If the solution requested, offered, or agreed upon pursuant to Article L. 217-9 cannot be implemented within one month of the buyer's claim; 2° Or if this solution cannot be implemented without significant inconvenience to the buyer, taking into account the nature of the goods and the intended use. However, the sale cannot be rescinded if the lack of conformity is minor.”
Article L. 217-11 : The provisions of Articles L. 217-9 and L. 217-10 shall apply at no cost to the buyer. These same provisions do not preclude the awarding of damages.
Article L. 217-12 : “The action resulting from the lack of conformity is time-barred after two years from the delivery of the goods.”
Article L. 217-13 : "The provisions of this section do not deprive the buyer of the right to exercise the action resulting from latent defects as provided for in Articles 1641 to 1649 of the Civil Code or any other action of a contractual or extra-contractual nature which is recognized by law."
Article L. 217-14 : "The recourse action may be exercised by the final seller against successive sellers or intermediaries and the producer of the tangible movable property, according to the principles of the civil code.
Article L. 217-15 : "Commercial guarantee means any contractual commitment by a professional towards the consumer for the purpose of reimbursing the purchase price, replacing or repairing the goods or providing any other service related to the goods, in addition to its legal obligations to guarantee the conformity of the goods.
The commercial warranty is subject to a written contract, a copy of which is given to the buyer.
The contract specifies the content of the guarantee, the terms of its implementation, its price, its duration, its territorial scope, as well as the name and address of the guarantor.
In addition, it clearly and precisely states that, regardless of the commercial guarantee, the seller remains bound by the legal guarantee of conformity mentioned in Articles L. 217-4 to L. 217-12 and by that relating to defects in the thing sold, under the conditions provided for in Articles 1641 to 1648 and 2232 of the Civil Code.
The provisions of articles L. 217-4, L. 217-5, L. 217-12 and L. 217-16 as well as article 1641 and the first paragraph of article 1648 of the civil code are reproduced in full in the contract.
If these provisions are not complied with, the warranty remains valid. The buyer is entitled to invoke it.
Article L. 217-16 : “When the buyer requests the seller, during the course of the commercial warranty granted to him during the acquisition or repair of a movable good, to carry out a repair covered by the warranty, any period of immobilization of at least seven days is added to the remaining duration of the warranty.
This period begins from the date of the buyer's request for intervention or the date the item in question is made available for repair, if this latter date is later than the request for intervention.”
Civil Code
Article 1641 : “The seller is bound by the warranty against hidden defects in the thing sold which render it unfit for the use for which it is intended, or which diminish this use to such an extent that the buyer would not have acquired it, or would have given only a lower price, if he had known of them.”
Article 1648 : “The action resulting from latent defects must be brought by the purchaser within two years of the discovery of the defect. In the case provided for in Article 1642-1, the action must be brought, under penalty of forfeiture, within one year following the date on which the seller can be released from liability for apparent defects or lack of conformity.”
