ARTICLE 10 - WARRANTY OF CONFORMITY
During the two-year following from the provision of the digital content or service, the consumer is entitled to the benefit of the warranty of conformity in case of the appearance of a lack of conformity.
For the year following the provision, consumer is only required to establish the existence of lack of conformity and not the date of its appearance.
The warranty of conformity entails the obligation to provide all necessary updates to maintain the conformity of the digital content or service.
The warranty of conformity grants to the consumer a right to have the digital content or service brought into conformity without undue delay following its request, at no cost and without major inconvenience.
The consumer may obtain a price reduction by retaining the digital content or service or may terminate the contract with a full refund in exchange for renunciation of the digital content or service if:
- the professional refuses to bring the digital content or service into conformity,
- the conformity of the digital content or service is unduly delayed,
- the conformity of the digital content or service cannot be achieved without imposing costs on the consumer,
- the conformity of the digital content or service causes a major inconvenience to the consumer,
- the non-conformity of the digital content or service persists despite of the professional’s unsuccessful attempt to bring it into conformity.
The consumer is also entitled to a price reduction or a rescission of the contract when the lack of conformity is so severe that it justifies immediate price reduction or the rescission of the contract. In such cases, the consumer is not required to request that the digital content or service be brought into conformity beforehand.
In cases where the lack of conformity is minor, the consumer is not entitled to rescind the contract if the contract does not involve the payment of a price.
Any period of unavailability of the digital content or service aiming to ensure its conformity suspends the warranty until the provision of the digital content or service is again in compliance.
The abovementioned rights result from the application of articles L. 224-25-1 to L. 224-25-31 of the Consumer Code.
A professional who obstructs in bad faith the implementation of the legal warranty of conformity is liable to a civil fine of up to 300,000 euros, which may be increased to 10% of the average annual turnover (Article L. 242-18-1 of the Consumer Code).
The consumer also benefits from the legal warranty of hidden defects in application of Articles 1641 to 1649 of the Civil Code, for a two-year period from the discovery of the defect.
This warranty entitles the consumer to a price reduction if the digital content or service is retained or to a full refund in exchange for renunciation of the digital content or service.
