L217-7 of the Consumer Code: “The defects of conformity which appear within twenty-four months from the delivery of the goods are presumed to exist at the time of delivery, except evidence to the contrary.

Art. L217-8 of the Consumer Code: “The buyer is entitled to demand that the goods conform to the contract.

Art. L217-9 of the Consumer Code: “In the event of a lack of conformity, the buyer chooses between repairing and replacing the item. However, the seller may not proceed according to the choice of the buyer if this choice entails a manifestly disproportionate cost with regard to the other method, taking into account the value of the good or the importance of the defect. He is then required to proceed, unless this is impossible, according to the method not chosen by the buyer. »

Art. L217-10 of the Consumer Code:  "If the repair and replacement of the goods are impossible, the buyer can return the goods and have the price refunded or keep the goods and be return part of the price. The same option is open to him: 1° If the solution requested, proposed or agreed pursuant to Article L. 217-9 cannot be implemented within one month of the buyer's complaint; 2° Or if this solution cannot be without major inconvenience for him given the nature of the property and the use he is looking for. However, the resolution of the sale cannot be pronounced if the lack of conformity is minor. »

Art. L217-11 of the Consumer Code: “The application of the provisions of articles L. 217-9 and L. 217-10 takes place at no cost to the buyer. These same provisions do not preclude the award of damages. »

Art. L217-13 of the Consumer Code: “The provisions of this section do not deprive the buyer of the right to exercise the action resulting from redhibitory defects as it results from articles 1641 to 1649 of the civil code or any other action of a contractual or extra-contractual nature recognized by law. »

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