  • from the legal guarantee of conformity, for Products that appear to be defective, damaged or not corresponding to the order (articles L.217-4 et seq. of the French Consumer Code)
  • the legal warranty against hidden defects arising from a material, design or manufacturing defect affecting the products delivered and making them unfit for use (Article 1641 et seq. of the French Civil Code).

Any warranty is excluded in the event of damage of external origin or resulting from misuse, non-compliant use, negligence or lack of maintenance on the part of the Customer, as in the event of normal wear and tear of the Product.

Article L217-4 of the French Consumer Code
The seller is obliged to deliver a good in conformity with the contract and is responsible for any defects in conformity existing at the time of delivery (...).


Article L217-5 of the French Consumer Code
To be in conformity with the contract, the goods must:

  1. Be fit for the purpose usually expected of similar goods and, where applicable: correspond to the description given by the seller and possess the qualities that the seller presented to the buyer in the form of a sample or model; have the qualities that a buyer may legitimately expect in view of the public statements made by the seller, the producer or his representative, particularly in advertising or labelling;

Article L217.7 of the French Consumer Code
Defects of conformity that appear within twenty-four months of delivery of the goods are presumed to have existed at the time of delivery, unless proven otherwise.
The seller may rebut this presumption if it is not compatible with the nature of the goods or the alleged lack of conformity.


Article L217-9 of the French Consumer Code
In case of lack of conformity, the buyer chooses between repairing or replacing the goods. However, the seller may not proceed according to the buyer’s choice if this choice entails a cost that is clearly disproportionate to the other option, taking into account the value of the goods or the importance of the defect. In this case, the seller is obliged to proceed, unless this is impossible, according to the method not chosen by the buyer.


Article L217.10 of the French Consumer Code
If repair and replacement of the goods are impossible, the buyer may return the goods and have the price returned or keep the goods and have part of the price returned.
The same option is offered to it:

  1. If the solution requested, proposed or agreed upon pursuant to Article L.217-9 cannot be implemented within one month of the buyer’s complaint;
  2. Or if this solution cannot be implemented without major inconvenience for the buyer, given the nature of the goods and the use it is seeking. 

However, the sale may not be cancelled if the lack of conformity is minor.


Article L217-12 of the French Consumer Code
The action resulting from the lack of conformity is time-barred by two years from the delivery of the goods.

Article L217-13 of the French Consumer Code
The provisions of this section do not deprive the buyer of the right to exercise the action resulting from prohibitive defects as it results from articles 1641 to 1649 of the French Civil Code or any other action of a contractual or extra-contractual nature which is recognised by the law.


Article 1641 of the French Civil Code: The seller is bound by the guarantee for hidden defects in the thing sold which make it unfit for the use for which it was intended, or which so diminish this use that the buyer would not have acquired it, or would only have given a lesser price, if it had known about them.

Article 1648 (1) of the French Civil Code: The action resulting from prohibitive defects must be brought by the buyer within two years of the discovery of the defect.

The guarantor of defects in the goods sold is KSGB EUROPE, whose registered office is at 49 Rue du Dauphiné, 69800 Saint-Priest,.

The legal guarantee of conformity applies irrespective of any commercial guarantee that may be granted.
