Article 9 - Legal guarantees
The Client's rights under the legal guarantee of conformity stated in Articles L. 217-4 through L. 217-13 of the French Consumer Code and the legal guarantee relating to defects in the object sold, under the conditions provided for in Articles 1641 to 1648 and 2232 of the French Civil Code are not affected in any way by a commercial guarantee.
In accordance with the law, the principal texts of the French Consumer Code and the French Civil Code relating to the rights of a non-professional Client under the legal guarantee of conformity and the legal guarantee in connection with redhibitory defects are reproduced below:
* Legal Guarantee of Conformity
Article L. 217-4 of the French Consumer Code:
“The seller must deliver the item in conformity with the contract and shall be responsible for any defects of conformity that exist at the time of delivery.
It shall also be responsible for defects of conformity resulting from the packaging, the assembly instructions or the installation when this is the seller’s responsibility under the contract or when it was carried out under the seller's responsibility.
Article L. 217-5 of the French Consumer Code:
"To be in conformity with the contract, the goods must:
1. Be appropriate for the use normally expected from a similar item and, as the case may be:
-correspond to the description provided by the seller and possess the qualities that the seller presented to the buyer in the form of a sample or a model;
-present the qualities that a buyer may legitimately expect with regard to the public declarations made by the seller, the producer or by its representative, particularly in advertising or labelling;
2. Or present the characteristics defined by a joint agreement between the parties or be appropriate for any special use sought by the buyer and brought to the knowledge of the seller and which the seller accepted.”
Article L. 217-7 of the French Consumer Code:
Defects in conformity which appear within twenty-four months following the delivery of the goods shall be 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 dispute this presumption if it is not compatible with the nature of the goods or the alleged lack of conformity.
Article L. 217-9 of the French Consumer Code:
"In the event of a lack of conformity, the buyer may choose between repairing or replacing the goods.
However, the seller is allowed not to proceed in accordance with the buyer's choice if this choice would entail a cost which is clearly disproportionate to the other method, taking into account the value of the goods or the magnitude of the defect. It is then obliged to proceed, unless this is impossible, according to the method not chosen by the buyer."
Article L. 217-12 of the French Consumer Code:
“An action resulting from a lack of conformity is time limited to two years following the delivery of the item.”
Guarantee against hidden defects

Article 1641 of the Civil Code:
“The seller is required to guarantee against hidden defects in the item sold which render it inappropriate for the usage for which it is intended or which so reduce such usage that the buyer would not have acquired it, or for which the buyer would only have paid a lower price, if the buyer had been aware of them.“
Article 1648 paragraph 1 of the Civil Code:
“An action resulting from critical defects must be brought by the buyer within a period of two years after discovering the defect." [...]
All claims and requests for exchange or reimbursement must be made by email within 30 days following the invoice date. Spare parts have a 90-day guarantee and for everything else that is not spare parts this is 30 days
The products must be returned to us in the state in which the Client received them with all the elements (accessories, packaging, instructions, etc.), otherwise the return may be refused.
The return costs are the exclusive responsibility of the Client and will not be reimbursed.
These provisions do not prevent the Client from benefiting from the right of retraction provided for in Article 6.
