Provisions regarding legal guarantees:

Article L217-4 of the Consumer Code
"The seller is required to deliver goods in conformity with the contract and is liable for any lack of conformity existing upon delivery.

Article L217-5 of the Consumer Code
"The good is in conformity with the contract:
  • If it is suitable for the usual expected use of a similar good and, if applicable:
  • if it corresponds to the description given by the seller and possesses the qualities that the seller presented to the buyer in the form of a sample or model;
  • if it has the qualities that a buyer can legitimately expect given the public statements made by the seller, the producer, or their representative, particularly in advertising or labeling;

Article L217-12 of the Consumer Code
"The action resulting from a lack of conformity is barred after two years from the delivery of the goods."

Article L217-16 of the Consumer Code
"When the buyer asks the seller, during the course of the commercial guarantee granted to them upon acquisition or repair of a movable good, for a repair covered by the guarantee, any period of immobilization of at least seven days is added to the duration of the guarantee remaining. This period runs from the buyer's request for intervention or from the availability for repair of the relevant good, if this availability is subsequent to the request for intervention."
In order to assert their rights, the Client must inform the Provider, in writing (email or letter), of the existence of defects or lack of conformity.
