Article L. 217-5: "The property is in conformity with the contract:

(1) If it is fit for the use usually expected of similar property and, where applicable,

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

- if it has the qualities that a buyer can legitimately expect in view of the public statements made by the seller, by the producer or by his representative, in particular in advertising or labelling

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

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 legitimately not able to know them".

Article L. 217-7: "Defects of conformity that appear within twenty-four months from the delivery of the goods are presumed to exist at the time of delivery, unless proven otherwise. For goods sold second-hand, this period is set at six months. The seller may combat this presumption if it is not compatible with the nature of the goods or the lack of conformity invoked."

Article L. 217-8: "The buyer is entitled to demand the conformity of the good with the contract. He cannot, however, contest conformity by invoking a defect which he knew or could not have been unaware of when he contracted. The same applies when the defect has its origin in the materials he himself supplied."

Article L. 217-9: "In case of lack of conformity, the buyer chooses between the repair and replacement of the good. However, the seller may not proceed according to the buyer's choice if this choice entails a cost manifestly disproportionate to the other modality, taking into account the value of the goods or the importance of the defect. He is then obliged to proceed, unless impossibility, according to the modality not chosen by the buyer."

Article L. 217-10: "If the repair and replacement of the good are impossible, the buyer can return the good and have the price returned or keep the good and have part of the price returned. The same option is open to him: 1 ° If the solution requested, proposed or agreed pursuant to Article L. 217-9 can not be implemented within one month of the buyer's claim; 2 ° Or if this solution can not be without major inconvenience for the latter given the nature of the property and the use he seeks. The cancellation of the sale may not, however, be pronounced 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 takes place at no cost to the buyer. The same provisions do not preclude 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 good."

Article L. 217-13: "the provisions of this section do not deprive the buyer of the right to exercise the action resulting from latent defects as it results from articles 1641 to 1649 of the Civil Code or any other action of a contractual or extra-contractual nature that is recognized to him by law."

Article L. 217-14: "The action for recourse may be brought by the final seller against successive sellers or intermediaries and the producer of the tangible movable property, according to the principles of the Civil Code.

Article L. 217-15: "The commercial guarantee means any contractual commitment of a professional towards the consumer with a view to the reimbursement of the purchase price, the replacement or repair of the goods or the provision of any other service in connection with the goods, in addition to their legal obligations to guarantee the conformity of the goods. 

The commercial guarantee is the subject of a written contract, a copy of which is given to the buyer. 

The contract specifies the content of the guarantee, the terms of its implementation, its price, its duration, its territorial scope as well as the name and address of the guarantor. 

In addition, it states clearly and precisely that, regardless 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.

In the event of non-compliance with these provisions, the guarantee remains 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 during the acquisition or repair of movable property, a restoration covered by the warranty, any period of immobilization of at least seven days is added to the duration of the warranty that remained to run.

That period shall run from the date of the buyer's request for intervention or from the making available for repair of the goods in question, if such making available is subsequent to the request for intervention."

Civil code

Article 1641: "The seller is bound by the guarantee in respect of hidden defects of the thing sold which make 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 given only a lower price, if he had known them."

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