ARTICLE 6: LEGAL GUARANTEES

6.1 General Stipulations

LE PETIT VAPOTEUR is liable for the lack of conformity in contracted goods under the Article L.217-4 and the French Consumer Code against defects of products sold stipulated in Article 1641 of the French Civil Code.

As such the Client an make a request under the legal guarantee of conformity or the guarantee of defects hidden under things sold by addressing there claim to LE PETIT VAPOTEUR mentioned in Article 1 as present:

When acting under the Legal Conformity, the Client

- has a period of up to 2 years from delivery to act

- can choose from repairing or replacement under the reserved conditions of Article L.217-9 of the French Consumer Code.

- It is incumbent of the Client to provide any proof as to the reality of any defaults under the conformity of 24 months following the delivery of the goods.

- The legal guarantee of the conformity independently applies to the commercial guarantee that may be granted.

6.2 Complementary Precisions 

The legal conformity as mentioned above, LE PETIT VAPOTEUR must deliver products conformed to the contract and respond to defaults of conformity existing in the time of delivery.

As such, it is stated that the commercialized products by LE PETIT VAPOTEUR, in particular the accumulators have a duration of limited longevity which depends essentially on the conditions of use of the product by the Client (frequent utilisation, shocks, maintenance default, exposure to extreme temperatures, contact with water, etc...).

The lifespan of almost all the commercialized products by LE PETIT VAPOTEUR is inferior to a delay of 24 months corresponding to the duration of the legal guarantee of conformity.

Also, the presumption of existence at the time of delivery with the products, the conformity defaults in 24 months following the delivery, is practically never compatible with the specific nature of products.

In consequence, in accordance with the article L.217-7 of the French Consumer Code, LE PETIT VAPOTEUR can fight this presumption.

In addition, it is reminded that LE PETIT VAPOTEUR is not the producer, in the sense of articles 1245 and following the Civil Code, the commercialized products via the Website.
