In case of defect of the products, the statutory warranty regime applies to consumers. We shall be liable for any defect of conformity of the product, according to Articles L. 217-3 to L. 217-20 of the French Consumer Code, as well as for any hidden defects of the products in the conditions set forth in Articles 1641 to 1649 of the French Civil Code.
Modality of implementation of the statutory warranty as per Article D. 211-2 of the French Consumer Code:

The consumer has a period of two years from the date of delivery of the goods to obtain the implementation of the statutory warranty of conformity in the event of a lack of conformity. During this period, the consumer is only required to establish the existence of the lack of conformity and not the date on which it occurred.

Where the contract for the sale of goods includes the supply of digital content or a digital service on a continuous basis for a period exceeding two years, the statutory warranty of conformity shall apply to that digital content or digital service throughout the period of supply provided for. During this period, the consumer is only required to establish the existence of the lack of conformity affecting the digital content or digital service and not the date on which it appeared.

The statutory warranty of conformity requires the professional, where applicable, to provide all updates necessary to maintain the conformity of the goods.

The statutory warranty of conformity grants the right to the consumer to have the goods repaired or replaced within thirty days of his/her request, free of charge and without significant inconvenience to him/her.

If the goods are repaired under the statutory warranty of conformity, the consumer shall benefit from an extension of the initial warranty of six months.

If the consumer requests repair of the goods but the seller insists on replacement, the statutory warranty of conformity is renewed for a period of two years from the date of replacement of the goods.

The consumer may obtain a reduction in the purchase price while retaining the goods or terminate the contract with a full refund in exchange for the return of the goods, if:

1° The seller refuses to repair or replace the goods;

2° The repair or replacement of the goods occurs after a period of thirty days;

3° The repair or replacement of the goods causes significant inconvenience to the consumer, in particular where the consumer bears the costs of returning or collecting the non-conforming goods, or where they bear the costs of installing the repaired or replacement goods;

4° The non-conformity of the goods persists despite the seller's unsuccessful attempt to bring them into compliance.

The consumer is also entitled to a price reduction or to terminate the contract if the lack of conformity is so serious that it justifies immediate price reduction or termination of the contract. In this case, the consumer is not required to request repair or replacement of the goods beforehand.

The consumer is not entitled to terminate the sale if the lack of conformity is minor.

Any period during which the goods are immobilized for repair or replacement suspends the warranty that remains in force until the goods are returned in good working order.

The above rights result from the application of Articles L. 217-1 to L. 217-32 of the French Consumer Code.

The sellers who acts in bad faith to prevent the implementation of the statutory warranty of conformity may be liable to a civil fine of up to EUR 300,000, which may be increased to 10% of his/her average annual turnover (Article L. 241-5 of the French Consumer Code).

The consumer also benefits from the statutory warranty against hidden defects pursuant to Articles 1641 to 1649 of the French Civil Code, for a period of two years from the discovery of the defect. This warranty entitles the consumer to a price reduction if the goods are retained or to a full refund upon return of the goods.

Warranty claims specified in this section must be reported via our customer service, stating the order number, a description of the problem and, if applicable, supporting evidence (such as photos or videos).
