APPENDIX – Provisions related to legal guarantees

Article L217-4 of the French Consumer Code

The seller is bound to deliver a good in compliance with the contract and answers for nonconformities existing when delivered. He also answers for nonconformities resulting from packaging, installation instructions, or the installation when it is said under his responsibility by the contract or has been performed under his responsibility.

Article L217-5 of the French Consumer Code

To be in accordance with the contract, the good must:

- fit for the purpose usually intended for a similar good and, if applicable:

- correspond to the description given by the seller and have the qualities that the seller has specified to the buyer in the form of sample or template

- have the qualities that the buyer can legitimately await in view of public declarations made by the seller, the producer or his representative, in particular in the advertisement or the label

- or have the characteristics specified by mutual agreement between the parties or fit for any special purpose looked for by the buyer, specified to the seller and agreed by the latter.

Article L217-9 of the French Consumer Code

In case of nonconformity, the buyer chooses between repair or replacement of the good. Nevertheless the seller may not follow the choice of the buyer if this choice implies a cost clearly disproportionate compared to the other option, with relation to the good’s value or the extent of the nonconformity. He is thus bound to proceed, unless impossible, according to the option not chosen by the buyer.

Article L217-12 of the French Consumer Code

The action resulting from nonconformity is prescribed after two years after delivery of the good.

Article L217-16 of the French Consumer Code

When the buyer asks the seller, during the commercial warranty granted upon purchase or repair of personal property, for reconditioning covered by the warranty, any immobilization time of at least seven days is added to the remaining warranty time. This time begins from the buyer’s maintenance request or the provision of the defective good for repair, if this provision is after the maintenance request.

Article 1641 of the French Civil Code

The seller is bound for the guarantee because of hidden defects of the sold thing that make it unfit for the intended use, or that reduce so much its use that the buyer would have not bought it, or would have proposed a lower price, if he would have known them.

Article 1648 paragraph 1 of the French Civil Code

The action resulting from unacceptable defects shall be taken within a period of two years after the defect has been discovered.
