ART. 12. LEGAL WARRANTY
All the Products sold on the Website are covered by the Legal Guarantee of Conformity provided for by articles 128-135 of the Consumer Code (Legal Guarantee).
TO WHOM IT APPLIES
The Legal Warranty is reserved to consumers. It therefore applies only to users who have made a purchase on the Site for purposes unrelated to their entrepreneurial, commercial, craft or professional activity.
WHEN IT APPLIES
The Seller shall be liable to the consumer for any lack of conformity of the Product that becomes apparent within two years of such delivery. The lack of conformity must be reported to the Seller, under penalty of forfeiture of the warranty, within two months from the date on which it was discovered.
Unless there is evidence to the contrary, any lack of conformity which becomes apparent within six months of delivery of the Product shall be presumed to have existed on that date, unless that such hypothesis is incompatible with the nature of the Product or with the nature of the conformity defect. As from the seventh month following the delivery of the Product, it shall be for the consumer to prove that the lack of conformity already existed at the time of the delivery of the Product.
In order to benefit from the Legal Warranty, the consumer must therefore first provide proof of the date of purchase and delivery of the goods. It is therefore appropriate for the consumer, for the purposes of this proof, to keep the purchase invoice or any other document that can attest to the date of the purchase (for example the payment card statement) and the date of delivery.
In the event of termination of the contract, the Seller shall refund the consumer the total amount paid, consisting of the purchase price of the Product, the shipping costs and any other additional costs. In the event of a price reduction, the Seller will refund the amount of the reduction, previously agreed with the consumer. The amount of the refund or reduction will be credited to the means or payment solution used by the consumer for the purchase.
The Seller shall not be liable for damages, of any nature whatsoever, deriving from the use of the Product in an improper manner and/or not in accordance with the instructions provided by the manufacturer, as well as in the event of damages deriving from unforeseeable circumstances or force majeure.
