Warranties - Hidden defects
For private individuals: you benefit from the legal guarantee of conformity under the terms of articles L.217-4 et seq. of the French Consumer Code and the guarantee against hidden defects under the terms of articles 1641 et seq. of the French Civil Code.
You have a period of two years from the date of delivery of the product to obtain implementation of the legal guarantee of conformity in the event of a defect in conformity. During this period, you are only required to establish the existence of the lack of conformity and not the date of its appearance.
Where the product sales contract provides for the supply of digital content or a digital service on a continuous basis for a period of more than two years, the legal warranty applies to this digital content or digital service for the entire period of supply. During this period, you are only required to establish the existence of the lack of conformity affecting the digital content or service, and not the date of its appearance. For these goods, the legal warranty of conformity obliges the professional to provide all updates necessary to maintain the conformity of the good.
You have the right to choose between repair or replacement of the product within thirty days of your request, free of charge and without major inconvenience to you.
If you ask for the product to be repaired, but are obliged to replace it, the legal warranty of conformity is renewed for a period of two years from the date of replacement.
You can obtain a reduction in the purchase price by keeping the product or terminate the contract by obtaining a full refund against return of the product, if :
(i) The professional seller refuses to repair or replace the product;
(ii) The product is repaired or replaced after a period of thirty days;
(iii) The repair or replacement of the product causes a major inconvenience to you, in particular if you definitively bear the costs of taking back or removing the non-conforming product, or if you bear the costs of installing the repaired or replacement product;
(iv) Product non-conformity persists despite Seller’s unsuccessful attempt to bring it into conformity.
You are also entitled to a reduction in the price of the product or to rescission of the contract if the lack of conformity is so serious as to justify immediate reduction in the price or rescission of the contract. You are then not obliged to request repair or replacement of the product beforehand.
You are not entitled to rescind the sale if the lack of conformity is minor.
Any period during which the product is immobilized for repair or replacement suspends the remaining warranty period until delivery of the repaired product.
The rights mentioned above result from the application of articles L. 217-1 to L. 217-32 of the French Consumer Code.
A 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).
You are also covered by the legal warranty for 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 customer to a price reduction if the product is kept, or to a full refund on return of the product.
We are committed to taking all the care customary in the profession to implement the service offered to the customer. Nevertheless, we shall not be held liable for any delay or failure to meet our contractual obligations if the delay or failure is due to a cause beyond our control: fortuitous event or force majeure as defined by applicable law.
We shall not be held liable for any delay due to the publisher or supplier being out of stock. Furthermore, we shall not be held liable in the event of minor differences between the photos presenting the items and the texts displayed on the WILL AND WALT.com website and the products delivered.
We do everything in our power to provide the services described in these General Terms and Conditions of Sale. We are liable for any direct and foreseeable damage at the time of the use of the Website or the conclusion of the sales contract between us and you. In our dealings with professionals, we shall not be liable for any loss of profit, loss of business, loss of data or loss of revenue or any other indirect damage or damage which was not foreseeable at the time of use of the Website or the conclusion of the sales contract between us and you.
The above limitation of liability shall not apply in the event of fraud or gross negligence on our part, in the event of personal injury or liability for defective products, in the event of eviction and in the event of non-conformity (including latent defects).
