In this case, the consumer may choose between rescission of the sale or a reduction in the purchase price, in accordance with article 1644 of the French Civil Code.

10.1.1 Reminder of the provisions governing the legal warranty of conformity

Within the framework of the legal guarantee of conformity if the Product ordered by the Customer presents a defect of conformity existing at the time of delivery, according to the option chosen by the customer and what it is possible to do, RECOMMERCE SOLUTIONS commits :

· or replace the Product with an identical Product subject to availability,

· or to exchange a Product for a Product of equivalent quality and price depending on available stocks,

· or refund the price of the Product within 14 days of the Customer's request if replacement by an identical or equivalent Product proves impossible.

Article L217-5 of the French Consumer Code

Article L217-9 of the French Consumer Code

In the event of a lack of conformity, the buyer can choose between repair and replacement.

In this case, the seller is obliged to proceed according to the method not chosen by the buyer, unless this is impossible.

Article L217-10 of the French Consumer Code

If repair and replacement are impossible, the buyer may return the goods and have the price refunded, or keep the goods and have part of the price refunded.

The same option is available to the buyer:

1° If the solution requested, proposed or agreed under article L. 217-9 cannot be implemented within one month of the buyer's complaint;

2° Or if this solution cannot be found without major inconvenience for the customer, given the nature of the good and the use he is seeking.

However, the sale cannot be rescinded if the lack of conformity is minor.

Article L217-11 of the French Consumer Code

The provisions of articles L. 217-9 and L. 217-10 are applied at no cost to the purchaser. These same provisions do not preclude the award of damages.

Article L217-12 of the French Consumer Code

Article L217-13 of the French Consumer Code

Article 1641 of the French Civil Code

If the seller was aware of the defects, he is liable to the buyer for all damages in addition to restitution of the price received.
