The buyer must indicate on the delivery note and in the form of handwritten reserves accompanied by his signature any anomaly concerning the delivery (damage, missing product compared to the delivery note, damaged package, broken products…).

This verification is considered to have been carried out as soon as the buyer, or a person authorised by him/her, has signed the delivery note.

The buyer must then confirm these reservations to the carrier by registered mail at the latest within two working days following receipt of the item(s) and send a copy of this letter by fax or simple mail to the seller at the address indicated in the site’s legal notices.

If the products need to be returned to the seller, they must be the subject of a return request to the seller within 14 days of delivery. Any claim made after this period cannot be accepted.

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

1° If it is fit for the purpose usually expected of similar goods and, where applicable

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

– whether it has the qualities that a buyer may legitimately expect, having regard to the public statements made by the seller, the producer or his representative, particularly in advertising or labelling;

2° Or if it has the characteristics defined by mutual agreement between the parties or is suitable for any special use sought by the buyer, brought to the seller’s attention and accepted by the latter.

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: “Defects of conformity that appear within twenty-four months of the delivery of the goods are presumed to have existed at the time of delivery, unless proven otherwise.For goods sold second-hand, this period is set at six months.The seller may rebut this presumption if it is not compatible with the nature of the goods or the defect of conformity claimed.”

Article L. 217-8: “The buyer is entitled to demand that the goods conform to the contract. He may not, however, contest conformity by invoking a defect that he knew or could not have been unaware of when he contracted. The same applies when the defect originates in materials that he himself supplied.

Article L. 217-9: “In the event of a lack of conformity, the buyer shall choose between repairing or replacing the goods; however, the seller may not proceed according to the buyer’s choice if this choice entails a cost that is clearly disproportionate to the other option, given the value of the goods or the importance of the defect. He is then obliged to proceed, unless this is impossible, according to the method 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 have the price returned or keep the goods and have part of the price returned. The same option is open to him: 1° If the solution requested, proposed or agreed upon in application of Article L. 217-9 cannot be implemented within a period of one month following the buyer’s complaint; 2° Or if this solution cannot be implemented without major inconvenience for the buyer, given the nature of the goods and the use he is seeking. However, the sale may not be cancelled if the lack of conformity is minor.

Article L. 217-11: The application of the provisions of Articles L. 217-9 and L. 217-10 shall be without cost to the buyer. These same provisions do not prevent the award of damages.

Article L. 217-12: “The action resulting from the lack of conformity is prescribed by 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 bring an action resulting from redhibitory 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 recognised 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 personal property, in accordance with the principles of the Civil Code.

Article L. 217-15: “A commercial guarantee is any contractual commitment by a trader to the consumer to reimburse the purchase price, replace or repair the goods or provide any other service in relation to the goods, in addition to his legal obligations to guarantee the conformity of the goods.
The commercial guarantee shall be the subject of a written contract, a copy of which shall be given to the buyer.
The contract shall specify the content of the guarantee, the manner of its implementation, its price, its duration, its territorial scope and the name and address of the guarantor.
In addition, it shall clearly and precisely mention that, independently 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 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.
In the event of non-compliance with these provisions, the guarantee shall remain valid. The buyer is entitled to avail himself of it.

Article L. 217-16: “When the buyer asks the seller, during the course of the commercial guarantee granted to him at the time of the acquisition or repair of a movable good, for a repair covered by the guarantee, any period of immobilisation of at least seven days shall be added to the duration of the guarantee that remained to run.

This period shall run from the date of the buyer’s request for intervention or from the date the goods in question are made available for repair, if this is after the request for intervention.

Civil Code

Article 1641: “The seller is bound by the warranty for hidden defects in the thing sold which render it unfit for the use for which it was intended, or which so diminish this use that the buyer would not have acquired it, or would only have given a lesser price for it, if he had known about them.

Article 1648: “The action resulting from redhibitory defects must be brought by the purchaser within two years of the discovery of the defect. In the case provided for by article 1642-1, the action must be brought, on pain of foreclosure, within one year of the date on which the seller may be relieved of the defects or lack of conformity”.
