Within the framework of the Legal Warranty of Conformity provided for in Articles L 217-1 et seq. of the Consumer Code, the Customer has a period of two (2) years from the delivery of the goods to take action against the Seller. He may make his request by registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt. The Customer must choose between repairing or replacing the non-conforming Product, subject to the cost conditions set out in Article L. 217-9 of the French Consumer Code and within the limits of available stocks. In the event of a clear difference in cost between the two options, the Seller may impose the cheaper option; the Customer does not have to provide proof of the date on which the defect appeared. If the Seller disputes the application of the guarantee and considers that the defect appeared after the purchase, it is up to him to prove it.
If the Customer makes use of the Legal Warranty of Conformity during the withdrawal period, the latter shall be interrupted. The withdrawal period shall start to run as soon as a new, compliant product is delivered.
The Customer may decide to implement the Guarantee against Hidden Defects of the Product within two (2) years of the discovery of the hidden defect in accordance with Article 1641 of the Civil Code. He may make his request by registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt. In this case, he can choose between the resolution of the sale or a reduction of the sale price in accordance with 1644 of the Civil Code.
The Customer is obliged to prove the existence of a hidden defect, i.e. one that is not apparent at the time of purchase, that makes the Product unfit for the intended use or significantly reduces its use, and that exists at the time of purchase.
If the Customer requests a refund for Products delivered with a hidden defect, the refund of the Order Price (including shipping costs) shall be made within a maximum of thirty (30) days from the date the Seller receives the Order returned by the Customer. The Customer shall use the return label contained in the Order delivered to him/her and shall not incur any additional costs to return the Product for which the guarantee is being exercised. The refund of the Order Price shall be made by the same method of payment as that used by the Customer to pay for the Order.
By mutual agreement, the Seller's liability may only be incurred by the Customer in the event of proven fault. The Seller may be held liable, under the conditions of common law, for direct and foreseeable damage suffered by the Customer. Indirect damages include loss of data, loss of orders, and expected results.

Article L. 217-5 of the Consumer Code: "The goods are in conformity with the contract: 1° If it is fit for the purpose usually expected of similar goods and, where applicable (a) 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 ;(b) if it has the qualities that a buyer may legitimately expect in the light of public statements made by the seller, the producer or his representative, in particular in advertising or labelling; 2.

Article L217-8 of the Consumer Code: "The buyer is entitled to demand that the goods conform to the contract.

Article L217-9 of the Consumer Code: "In the event of a lack of conformity, the buyer shall choose between repairing or replacing the goods.

In such a case, the seller shall be obliged to proceed, unless this is impossible, according to the method not chosen by the buyer.
Article L217-10 of the Consumer Code: "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.

However, the sale may not be cancelled if the lack of conformity is minor.
Article L217-11 of the Consumer Code: "The application of the provisions of Articles L. 217-9 and L. 217-10 shall take place at no cost to the buyer. These same provisions do not prevent the allocation of damages.

The consumer shall only bear the direct costs of returning the goods, unless the trader agrees to bear them or has failed to inform the consumer that he is responsible for these costs.

The trader shall make the refund using the same means of payment as the one used by the consumer for the original transaction, unless the consumer has expressly agreed to use another means of payment and insofar as the refund does not incur any costs for the consumer.
The trader shall not be obliged to reimburse additional costs if the consumer has expressly chosen a more expensive means of delivery than the standard one offered by the trader.
