The Vendor may not be held liable in the event of non-compliance with the legislation of the country to which the Products are delivered, which it is the Customer's responsibility to check, or in the event of misuse, negligence or lack of maintenance on the part of the Customer, or in the event of normal wear and tear of the Product, accident or force majeure.
The Vendor's warranty is, in any event, limited to the replacement or reimbursement of non-conforming Products or Products affected by a defect.
Replacement of Products does not extend the warranty period.
Products modified, repaired, integrated or added by the purchaser are excluded from the warranty. The warranty does not cover visible defects. The warranty does not cover products damaged in transit or as a result of misuse.
How to apply the warranty :
When acting under the legal warranty of conformity, the Buyer :
Has two years from the date of delivery of the goods to take action;
May choose between repair or replacement of the good, subject to the cost conditions stipulated in article L217-9 of the French Consumer Code;
Is exempted from proving the existence of the lack of conformity of the good during the six months following delivery of the good. This period is extended to twenty-four months from March 18, 2016, except for second-hand goods.
