Article L217-4 of the French Consumer Code

The vendor delivers goods that comply with the Contract and responds to any lack of conformity existing at the time of delivery. The vendor also responds to any lack of conformity resulting from the packaging, the assembly instructions or the installation when it has been provided for by the contract or has been carried out under its responsibility.

The property is in accordance with the contract:

1° If it is fit for the customary use of a similar good and, where applicable:

- If it corresponds to the description given by the vendor and has the qualities that he has presented to the buyer as a sample or model;

- If it has the qualities that a buyer can legitimately expect given the public statements made by the vendor, the producer or their representative, including 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, made known to the vendor and that the latter has accepted.

The action resulting from the lack of conformity is subject to a limitation of two years from the delivery of the goods.

When the buyer asks the vendor, during the course of the commercial guarantee which was granted to him during the acquisition or the repair of a movable asset, a restoration covered by the guarantee, any period of immobilization of at least seven days is added to the duration of the remaining warranty period.

This period runs from the request for intervention of the buyer or the provision for repair of the property in question, if this provision is subsequent to the request for intervention.

The vendor is bound by the warranty regarding any latent defects of the thing sold which renders it unsuitable for the use for which it is intended, or which diminish the use so much that the buyer would not have acquired it, or would have given a lower price, had he known them.

In the case provided for by article 1642-1, the action must be brought, under penalty of foreclosure, within one year from the date on which the vendor may be discharged from apparent defects of conformity.
