13.2 Legal guarantee of conformity
The French Consumer Code provides the following in terms of the legal guarantee of conformity:
Article L-211-9: “In the event of a lack of conformity, the buyer chooses between a repair and the replacement of the good. »
Article L217-3: “The seller delivers goods that comply with the contract and with the criteria set out in Article L. 217-5. He is liable for any lack of conformity existing at the time of delivery of the goods within the meaning of Article L. 216-1, which appear within two years of delivery. […] The seller is also liable, during the same periods, for any lack of conformity resulting from the packaging, assembly instructions, or installation when this has been placed at his expense by the contract or has been carried out under his responsibility, or when the incorrect installation, carried out by the consumer as provided for in the contract, is due to gaps or errors in the installation instructions provided by the seller. This warranty period applies without prejudice to Articles 2224 et seq. of the Civil Code. The starting point for the limitation period for the consumer’s action is the day on which the latter becomes aware of the lack of conformity. »
Article L217-4: “The good is in conformity with the contract if it meets, in particular, where applicable, the following criteria: 1° It corresponds to the description, type, quantity and quality, in particular with regard to functionality, compatibility, interoperability, or any other characteristic provided for in the contract; 2° It is suitable for any special use sought by the consumer, brought to the attention of the seller at the latest at the time of conclusion of the contract and which the latter has accepted; 3° It is delivered with all accessories and installation instructions, which must be provided in accordance with the contract; 4° It is updated in accordance with the contract. »
Article L217-5: “I.-In addition to the criteria of conformity to the contract, the good is compliant if it meets the following criteria: 1° It is suitable for the use usually expected of a good of the same type, taking into account, where applicable, any provision of European Union law and national law as well as all technical standards or, in the absence of such technical standards, specific codes of conduct applicable to the sector concerned; 2° Where applicable, it has the qualities that the seller presented to the consumer in the form of a sample or model, before the conclusion of the contract; 3° Where applicable, the digital elements it contains are provided according to the most recent version that is available at the time of conclusion of the contract, unless the parties agree otherwise; 4° Where applicable, it is delivered with all the accessories, including packaging, and installation instructions that the consumer can legitimately expect; 5° Where applicable, it is provided with the updates that the consumer can legitimately expect, in accordance with the provisions of Article L. 217-19; 6° It corresponds to the quantity, quality and other characteristics, including in terms of durability, functionality, compatibility and safety, that the consumer can legitimately expect for goods of the same type, having regard to the nature of the goods as well as to the public statements made by the seller, by any person upstream in the transaction chain, or by a person acting on their behalf, including in advertising or on labelling. II.-However, the seller is not bound by any public statements referred to in the preceding paragraph if he demonstrates: 1° That he did not know them and was legitimately unable to know them; 2° That at the time of the conclusion of the contract, the public statements had been rectified under conditions comparable to the initial statements; or 3° That the public statements could not have had an influence on the purchasing decision. III.-The consumer may not contest conformity by invoking a defect concerning one or more particular characteristics of the good, of which he was specifically informed that they deviated from the conformity criteria set out in this article, a deviation to which he expressly and separately consented when concluding the contract. »
Article L217-7: “Lack of conformity that appears within twenty-four months of delivery of the goods, including goods containing digital elements, are, unless proven otherwise, presumed to exist at the time of delivery, unless this presumption is incompatible with the nature of the goods or the defect claimed. […].”
Article L217-8: “In the event of a lack of conformity, the consumer is entitled to have the goods brought into conformity by repair or replacement or, failing that, to a reduction in the price or to termination of the contract, under the conditions set out in this subsection. The consumer also has the right to suspend payment of all or part of the price or delivery of the benefit provided for in the contract until the seller has fulfilled his obligations under this chapter, under the conditions of Articles 1219 and 1220 of the Civil Code. The provisions of this chapter are without prejudice to the award of damages. »
Article L217-9: “The consumer is entitled to demand that the good be brought into conformity with the criteria set out in subsection 1 of this section. The consumer requests that the seller bring the good into conformity, choosing between repair and replacement. To this end, the consumer makes the good available to the seller.”
Article L217-10: “The good is brought into conformity within a reasonable period of time which may not exceed thirty days following the consumer’s request and without major inconvenience to him, taking into account the nature of the good and the use sought by the consumer. The repair or replacement of the non-compliant good includes, where applicable, the removal and recovery of this good and the installation of the repaired good or the replacement good by the seller. A decree specifies the terms and conditions for bringing the good into conformity.”
Article L217-11: “The good is brought into conformity at no cost to the consumer. The consumer is not required to pay for the normal use he made of the replaced good during the period prior to its replacement. »
Article L217-12: « The seller may not proceed according to the choice made by the consumer if the requested compliance is impossible or entails disproportionate costs in particular with regard to: 1° The value that the good would have had in the absence of a lack of conformity; 2° The significance of the lack of conformity; and 3° The possible possibility of opting for the other choice without major inconvenience for the consumer. The seller may refuse to bring the good into conformity if this is impossible or entails disproportionate costs in particular with regard to 1° and 2°. When these conditions are not met, the consumer may, after formal notice, pursue the forced execution in kind of the solution initially requested, in accordance with Articles 1221 et seq. of the Civil Code. Any refusal by the seller to proceed according to the consumer’s choice or to bring the goods into conformity, is justified in writing or on a durable medium.”
Article L217-13: “Any good repaired under the legal guarantee of conformity benefits from a six-month extension of this guarantee. As soon as the consumer chooses the repair but this is not implemented by the seller, bringing the goods into conformity by replacing the goods starts, for the benefit of the consumer, a new period of legal guarantee of conformity attached to the replaced goods. This provision applies from the day the replacement goods are delivered to the consumer.”
Article L217-14: “The consumer is entitled to a reduction in the price of the goods or to the termination of the contract in the following cases: 1° When the professional refuses any compliance; 2° When compliance occurs beyond a period of thirty days following the consumer’s request or if it causes him major inconvenience; 3° If the consumer definitively bears the costs of taking back or removing the non-compliant good, or if he bears the installation of the repaired or replacement good or the costs relating thereto; 4° When the non-conformity of the good persists despite the seller’s unsuccessful attempt to bring it into conformity. The consumer is also entitled to a reduction in the price of the good or to the termination of the contract when the lack of conformity is so serious that it justifies that the reduction in the price or the termination of the contract be immediate. The consumer is then not required to request the repair or replacement of the good in advance. The consumer is not entitled to the termination of the sale if the lack of conformity is minor, which it is the seller’s responsibility to demonstrate. This paragraph does not apply to contracts in which the consumer does not pay a price. »
Article L217-15: “In the cases provided for in Article L. 217-14, the consumer informs the seller of his decision to obtain a reduction in the price of the good. The price reduction is proportional to the difference between the value of the good delivered and the value of this good in the absence of the lack of conformity.”
Article L217-16: “In the cases provided for in Article L. 217-14, the consumer informs the seller of his decision to terminate the contract. He returns the goods to the seller at the latter’s expense. The seller reimburses the consumer for the price paid and returns any other benefit received under the contract. If the lack of conformity only concerns certain goods delivered under the sales contract, the consumer has the right to terminate the contract for all the goods, even those not covered by this chapter, if he cannot reasonably be expected to agree to keep only the compliant goods. For contracts referred to in II of Article L. 217-1, providing for the sale of goods and, as an accessory, the provision of services not covered by this chapter, the consumer has the right to terminate the entire contract. In addition, in the case of a bundled offer within the meaning of Article L. 224-42-2, the consumer has the right to terminate all contracts relating thereto. The respective obligations of the parties to the contract, referred to in Article L. 224-25-22 and relating to the consequences of termination for digital content and digital services, are applicable to the termination of the contract for the sale of goods containing digital elements. »
Article L217-17: « Reimbursement to the consumer of the sums owed by the seller under this subsection shall be made upon receipt of the goods or proof of their return by the consumer and no later than fourteen days thereafter. The seller reimburses these amounts using the same means of payment as that used by the
consumer when concluding the contract, unless expressly agreed by the latter and in any event without additional costs.”
13.3 Warranty against hidden defects
The French Civil Code provides the following in terms of warranty against hidden defects:
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 a lower price for it, if he had known of them.”
