When acting under the legal warranty of conformity, the consumer has a period of two years from the delivery of the goods to act.

Except for second-hand goods, the consumer is exempt from proving the existence of the lack of conformity of the goods during the 24 months following the delivery of the goods.
The legal warranty of conformity applies independently of any commercial warranty that may be granted.
The consumer may decide to implement the warranty against hidden defects in the sold item within the meaning of Article 1641 of the Civil Code unless the Seller has stipulated that it will not be bound by any warranty. In the event of the implementation of this warranty, the buyer has the choice between canceling the sale or a price reduction in accordance with Article 1644 of the Civil Code. The buyer has a period of two years from the discovery of the defect.
The postponement, suspension, or interruption of the limitation period cannot have the effect of extending the limitation period beyond twenty years from the day the right arises, in accordance with Article 2232 of the Civil Code.
All Products purchased on the Site benefit from the following legal guarantees, provided for by the Civil Code and the Consumer Code:
7.1. Legal warranty of conformity
According to Articles L.217-4 and following of the Consumer Code, the Seller is required to deliver goods that comply with the contract concluded with the consumer and to remedy any lack of conformity existing at the time of delivery of the Product. The warranty of conformity can be exercised if a defect were to exist on the day of taking possession of the Product.
However, when the defect appears within 24 months following this date, it is presumed to meet this condition. But, according to Article L.217-7 of the Consumer Code, "the Seller can rebut this presumption if it is not compatible with the nature of the Product or the lack of conformity invoked." However, after this 24-month period, it will be up to the Customer to prove that the defect did indeed exist at the time of taking possession of the Product.
In accordance with Article L.217-9 of the Consumer Code: "in the event of a lack of conformity, the buyer chooses between repairing and replacing the goods. However, the Seller may not proceed according to the buyer's choice if this choice entails a cost that is manifestly disproportionate to the other method, given the value of the goods or the importance of the defect. It is then obliged to proceed, unless impossible, according to the method not chosen by the buyer."
7.2. Legal Warranty against hidden defects
According to Articles 1641 to 1649 of the Civil Code, the Customer may request the exercise of the warranty for hidden defects if the defects presented did not appear at the time of purchase, were prior to the purchase (and therefore do not result from the normal wear and tear of the Product, for example), and are sufficiently serious (the defect must either make the Product unfit for the use for which it is intended, or diminish this use to such an extent that the buyer would not have purchased the Product or would not have purchased it at such a price if he had known the defect).
Claims, requests for reimbursement for a non-compliant Product must be made by postal mail or by email to the addresses indicated in the legal notices of the Site. The Customer will be reimbursed by bank transfer for the amount of his order. The costs of the reimbursement procedure (including the return shipping costs of the Product) will remain the responsibility of the Seller.
8. Responsabilities
Each party is responsible for the consequences of its faults, errors, or omissions causing direct damage to the other party.
8.1 Customer's responsability
The Customer is solely responsible for the quality, accuracy, relevance, and correctness of the information he provides on the Site for the purpose of his order. The Seller's liability cannot be engaged in this regard.

Such an event will be characterized as soon as the party, victim of such an event, would be prevented from properly performing its contractual obligations, despite the implementation of adequate and appropriate measures intended to limit its effects.
Neither party will be held responsible towards the other for the non-performance or delays in the performance of an obligation arising from these T&Cs that are due to the act of the other party following the occurrence of a force majeure, as recognized and defined by French jurisprudence.
The force majeure event suspends the obligations arising from these T&Cs for the entire duration of its existence, and neither party may, during this period, validly invoke the existence of such a force majeure event within the meaning of Article 1218 of the Civil Code to justify the termination of its contractual relationship with the other party. However, if the force majeure event had a duration of more than thirty (30) consecutive days, it would give the right to the automatic termination of these T&Cs by one or the other of the parties, eight (8) days after sending a registered letter with acknowledgment of receipt notifying this decision.
