Defects in conformity that appear within twenty-four months, or twelve months in the case of second-hand goods, of delivery of the Products are, in the absence of proof to the contrary, presumed to have existed at the time of delivery.
In the event of a lack of conformity, the Buyer may demand that the Products delivered be brought into conformity by repair or that the price be reduced or that the sale be rescinded, in accordance with the legal conditions.
However, replacement cannot be demanded, as products sold by a non-professional or professional seller are unique items.
Il appartient à l’Acheteur de solliciter auprès de la société Very Précieuse SAS qui en effectuera par la suite la demande au Vendeur la mise en conformité des Produits, en choisissant entre la réparation ou le remboursement du prix suite à la résolution de la vente.
Any Product brought into conformity under the legal conformity guarantee will benefit from a six-month extension of this guarantee.
If the compliance requested is impossible or involves disproportionate costs under the conditions set out in Article L 217-12 of the Consumer Code, the Seller may refuse to comply.
If the conditions set out in article L 217-12 of the French Consumer Code are not met, the Buyer may, after formal notice, pursue compulsory performance in kind of the solution initially requested, with the exception of replacement if the part is unique, in accordance with articles 1221 et seq. of the French Civil Code.
Finally, the Buyer may demand a price reduction or rescission of the sale (unless the lack of conformity is minor) in the cases provided for in article L 217-14 of the French Consumer Code.
Where the lack of conformity is so serious that it justifies the immediate cancellation of the sale, the Buyer is not then obliged to request repair beforehand.
The reduction in price is proportional to the difference between the value of the Product delivered and the value of this good in the absence of the lack of conformity.
If the sale is cancelled, the Buyer shall be reimbursed the price paid in exchange for the return of the non-conforming Products to Very Précieuse SAS, at the latter's expense.
The refund will be made as soon as the Customer receives the non-conforming Product or proof of its return, and at the latest within the following fourteen days, using the same means of payment as the one used by the Customer at the time of payment, unless the Customer expressly agrees otherwise, and in any event at no additional cost.
11-2 . Legal guarantee against hidden defects
The Seller is liable for hidden defects within the framework of the legal guarantee against hidden defects resulting from a material, design or manufacturing defect affecting the Products delivered and rendering them unfit for use.
The Customer may decide to invoke the warranty against hidden defects in the Products in accordance with Article 1641 of the French Civil Code; in this case, the Customer may choose between rescinding the sale or reducing the sale price in accordance with Article 1644 of the French Civil Code.
Requests are made to Very Précieuse SAS, which will pass on the terms to the seller.
11-3 . Warranty exclusions
