Annex:

Consumer Code

Article L. 217-4: “The seller delivers goods conforming to the contract and is liable for conformity defects existing at the time of delivery.

He is also liable for defects resulting from packaging, assembly instructions, or installation when these are the seller's responsibility or were carried out under his responsibility.”


Article L. 217-5: “The goods conform to the contract:

1° If they are fit for the usual purpose of such goods and, where applicable:

  • If they correspond to the description given by the seller and possess the qualities presented to the buyer as a sample or model;

  • If they have the qualities a buyer can reasonably expect in light of public statements made by the seller, producer, or representative, especially in advertising or labeling;

2° Or if they have characteristics jointly agreed upon by the parties or are suitable for any special use sought by the buyer, made known to and accepted by the seller.”


Article L. 217-6: “The seller is not bound by public statements made by the producer or representative if it is proven that he did not know them and was not reasonably able to know them.”


Article L. 217-7: “Conformity defects appearing within 24 months from delivery are presumed to have existed at delivery, unless proven otherwise. For used goods, this period is six months. The seller may rebut this presumption if incompatible with the nature of the goods or the defect invoked.”


Article L. 217-8: “The buyer may require conformity of the goods. However, he cannot contest conformity by invoking a defect he knew or could not ignore when contracting. The same applies when the defect originates from materials supplied by the buyer.”


Article L. 217-9: “In case of non-conformity, the buyer chooses between repair or replacement. However, the seller may refuse the buyer's choice if it entails a manifestly disproportionate cost compared to the other option, considering the value of the goods or the defect's importance. The seller must then proceed, if possible, according to the option not chosen by the buyer.”


Article L. 217-10: “If repair and replacement are impossible, the buyer may return the goods and get a refund or keep the goods and get a partial refund. This option also applies:

1° If the solution requested or agreed upon under Article L. 217-9 cannot be implemented within one month following the buyer's claim;

2° Or if it cannot be done without significant inconvenience to the buyer given the nature and intended use of the goods.

Sale rescission cannot be pronounced if the defect is minor.”


Article L. 217-11: “Application of Articles L. 217-9 and L. 217-10 is free of charge to the buyer. These provisions do not prevent awarding damages.”


Article L. 217-12: “Actions for defects of conformity prescribe two years from delivery.”


Article L. 217-13: “The provisions of this section do not deprive the buyer of rights arising from redhibitory defects under Articles 1641 to 1649 of the Civil Code or other contractual or non-contractual remedies recognized by law.”


Article L. 217-14: “Recourse actions may be exercised by the final seller against successive sellers, intermediaries, and the producer of the movable tangible property, according to Civil Code principles.”


Article L. 217-15: “Commercial warranty means any contractual commitment by a professional to the consumer for refund, replacement, or repair of the goods or provision of other related services, beyond legal conformity obligations.

The commercial warranty is subject to a written contract, a copy of which is given to the buyer.

The contract specifies the warranty content, implementation procedures, price, duration, territorial scope, and guarantor's name and address.

It also clearly states that independently of the commercial warranty, the seller remains bound by the legal conformity warranty under Articles L. 217-4 to L. 217-12 and the warranty for defects in sold goods under Articles 1641 to 1648 and 2232 of the Civil Code.

Articles L. 217-4, L. 217-5, L. 217-12, L. 217-16, and Articles 1641 and the first paragraph of 1648 of the Civil Code are fully reproduced in the contract.

Non-compliance with these provisions does not invalidate the warranty. The buyer may invoke it.”


Article L. 217-16: “When the buyer requests repair under the commercial warranty during its term, any immobilization period of at least seven days is added to the remaining warranty duration.

This period runs from the buyer's intervention request or from the availability of the goods for repair if this occurs after the intervention request.”


Civil Code

Article 1641: “The seller is liable for hidden defects in the sold item that render it unfit for its intended use or so diminish its use that the buyer would not have purchased it or would have paid less if aware of them.”


Article 1648: “Actions for redhibitory defects must be brought by the buyer within two years from discovery of the defect. In the case provided by Article 1642-1, the action must be initiated, under penalty of forfeiture, within one year after the date when the seller can be discharged from apparent defects or conformity failures.”
