- 1 The professional seller refuses to repair or replace the goods;
- 2 The goods are repaired or replaced after a period of thirty days;
- 3 The repair or replacement of the goods causes a major inconvenience for the consumer, in particular where the consumer definitively bears the cost of taking back or removing the non-conforming goods, or if he bears the cost of installing the repaired or replacement goods;
- 4 The non-conformity of the goods persists despite the professional seller's unsuccessful attempt to bring the goods into conformity.
The consumer is also entitled to a reduction in the price of the goods or to rescission of the contract where the lack of conformity is so serious as to justify immediate reduction in the price or rescission of the contract. In such cases, the consumer is not obliged to first request the repair or replacement of the goods.
The consumer is not entitled to have the sale rescinded if the lack of conformity is minor.
Any period of immobilisation of the goods with a view to their repair or replacement suspends the warranty that was in force until delivery of the repaired goods.
The rights mentioned above result from the application of articles L. 217-1 to L. 217-32 of the French Consumer Code.
Any professional seller who obstructs the implementation of the legal guarantee of conformity in bad faith is liable to a civil fine of up to 300,000 euros, which may be increased to 10% of average annual sales (article L. 241-5 of the French Consumer Code).
Consumers also benefit from the legal guarantee against hidden defects under articles 1641 to 1649 of the French Civil Code, for a period of two years from the discovery of the defect. This guarantee entitles the consumer to a price reduction if the goods are kept, or to a full refund if the goods are returned.
