  • 6.2. Legal guarantee of conformity and guarantee against hidden defects.

Products benefit from the legal guarantee of conformity (Article L 211-4 and following of the Consumer Code) and the guarantee against hidden defects (Article 1641 of the Civil Code). No guarantee is valid in case of damages which are external in origin or the consequence of misuse, improper handling, neglect or lack of maintenance by the Client, as in the case of normal wear and tear.

- Article L211-4 of the Consumer Code 
The seller must deliver goods which comply with the description within the contract (...).
- Article L211-5 of the Consumer Code 


To comply with the contract, the goods must:

  • 1º Be suitable for the general use of a similar item and, where applicable, match the description given by the seller and possess the qualities which he/she has presented to the buyer in the form of a sample or model; have the features which a buyer might reasonably expect given the public statements made by the seller, the producer or his/her representative, particularly in advertising or labelling; 
  • 2º Or have the characteristics defined by mutual agreement by the parties or be suitable for any particular purpose for which the buyer has made known to the seller and which the latter has accepted.

- Article L211.7 of the Consumer Code
Any lack of conformity which becomes apparent within six months from delivery of the goods is presumed to exist at the time of delivery, unless proved otherwise.
The seller can rebut this presumption if it is not compatible with the nature of the goods or the defect in conformity.
- Article L211-9 of the Consumer Code
In case of lack of conformity, the buyer chooses between the repair and replacement of the goods. However, the seller may choose not to agree to the buyer's choice if the choice involves a manifestly disproportionate cost in relation to the other, given the value of the goods or severity of the fault. He/she is then required to proceed, where possible, with the option not chosen by the buyer.
- Article L211.10 of the Consumer Code
If repair and replacement of the goods are impossible, the buyer can return the goods and receive a refund for the price of the goods or keep the goods and receive a refund for part of the price.
The same right is available to him/her:

  • 1° If the requested solution, proposed or agreed pursuant to Article L.211-9 cannot be implemented within the period of one month following the claim by the buyer;
  • 2° Or if the requested solution is not without major inconvenience to the buyer in view of the nature of the goods and their proposed usage. 

However, the cancellation of the sale cannot be imposed if the defect is minor.
-Article L211-12 of the Consumer Code
Proceedings resulting from a lack of conformity must occur within two years after delivery of the goods.
-Article L211-13 of the Consumer Code
The provisions of this section shall not deprive the buyer of the right to bring proceedings as a result of critical defects as explained in  articles 1641 to 1649 of the Civil Code or any other proceedings of a contractual or extra-contractual nature recognised by law. 
-Article 1641 of the Civil Code: The seller is required to guarantee against hidden defects of the item sold which render it unfit for the use for which it was intended, or which reduce this use to such an extent that the buyer would not have bought it or would have paid a lower price, if he/she had known.
-Article 1648, paragraph 1 of the Civil Code: Proceedings resulting from critical defects must be pursued by the buyer within two years of discovery of the defect.

The guarantor against defects of the item sold is the simplified joint-stock company BOCAGE whose registered office is located at Route de Chaudron en Mauges, 49111 Saint Pierre Montlimart.
When it comes to this legal guarantee of conformity, the client has a period of two years from delivery of the product to act and can choose between repair or replacement of the goods, subject to cost conditions set out in Article L. 211-9 of the Consumer Code, is not obliged to prove the existence of the lack of conformity of the goods during the 6 months following delivery of the goods. The legal guarantee of conformity applies regardless of possible commercial guarantees which may be made.
The client may decide to implement the guarantee against hidden defects of the item sold, pursuant to Article 1641 of the Civil Code and can choose between cancelling the sale or a reduction in the purchase price in accordance with Article 1644 of the Civil Code.
