ARTICLE 12 WARRANTY AND CUSTOMER SERVICE

When a product is purchased, the consumer benefits from three types of guarantees: the commercial guarantee—also known as the manufacturer's warranty—the legal guarantee of conformity, and the legal guarantee against hidden defects. Each guarantee covers a very specific area, and you can find more details on each of them on the website. Service-public.fr.

The commercial / manufacturer's warranty:

This last one allows you to have the product repaired or replaced in case of a breakdown. It is optional and is freely offered by the manufacturer according to its conditions. It is thus added to the legal guarantees of conformity and hidden defects.

The commercial warranty, or manufacturer's warranty, is only valid on new products. It is generally for one year, covering both parts and labor. However, the scope and duration of this warranty can vary depending on the manufacturer and the product brand.
You can consult the exact terms of the warranties on the manufacturer's website or in the product manual. Generally, commercial warranties do not cover:

  • The replacement of consumables (batteries, light bulbs, fuses, etc.).
  • Abnormal or non-compliant use of the products,
  • Damage caused by a repair person not approved by the manufacturer,
  • Damage resulting from an external cause (for example, accident, impact, over-inflation, oxidation, presence of sand, etc.).

We therefore invite you to carefully consult the user manual provided with the products and the exact terms of any commercial warranties that may accompany the products. To benefit from the product warranty, it is essential to keep the product's purchase invoice, which can be printed at any time from your personal account. In all cases, the manufacturer's warranty is subject to the manufacturer's prior agreement.

In the case of products damaged during use (torn wing, broken paddle, broken board, etc.), the manufacturer may request the return of the product at your expense for an expert evaluation. This return may be requested either to the manufacturer's headquarters or to the headquarters of foilenvie.fr. It is then up to the manufacturer, after expertise, to grant or refuse coverage under the commercial warranty.
It is important to note that the free repair of a product does not automatically mean that a warranty claim has been accepted. Very often, the manufacturer may make a commercial gesture and perform a free repair while still refusing to cover the product under warranty due to misuse (impact, improper use, etc.). Only a written letter from the manufacturer constitutes an acceptance of a manufacturer's warranty claim.

In the event that a commercial warranty claim is approved, only the defective part may be covered. Similarly, the product may either be repaired or replaced, depending on the brand's policy. Foilenvie.fr cannot be held responsible if the manufacturer refuses to apply its commercial warranty. Please note that the costs of returning and resending the product to facilitate the commercial warranty service (for return or repair) will be the customer's responsibility.

It is recalled that the commercial warranty does not deprive you of the provisions relating to the legal guarantee of conformity. (L211-1 et seq. of the Consumer Code) or to the guarantee against hidden defects. (articles 1641 et seq. of the Civil Code). 

The legal guarantee of conformity:

By legal guarantee of conformity, we mean the guarantee that the purchased product is suitable for its intended use and matches the description provided by the seller. This guarantee covers all manufacturing defects at the time of purchase or delivery of a product and thus applies to defects present on the date of product delivery.

When acting under the legal guarantee of conformity, the consumer:

  • Benefits from a period of two years from the delivery of the goods to take action.
  • can choose between the repair or replacement of the goods, subject to the cost conditions provided for in article L. 211-9 of the Consumer Code,
  • Can choose to be reimbursed fully (in exchange for returning the product) or partially (while keeping the product) if:
    • The repair or replacement are impossible (for example, manufacturing has been discontinued).
    • The repair or replacement cannot be completed within one month following the complaint.
    • The repair or replacement creates a major inconvenience for the consumer.
  • You are exempt from having to prove the existence of a lack of conformity in the product for the first six months after its delivery. This period was extended to twenty-four months starting from March 18, 2016, except for second-hand goods, which cannot be guaranteed.

The legal guarantee of conformity applies independently of any commercial warranty that may have been granted.
Furthermore, the consumer can decide to invoke the guarantee against hidden defects of the sold item as per Article 1641 of the Civil Code. In this case, they can choose between the cancellation of the sale or a reduction in the sale price, in accordance with Article 1644 of the Civil Code. 

The legal guarantee of hidden defects:

When you purchase a product, there is a guarantee against its hidden defects—known as the legal guarantee of hidden defects. This applies only when several conditions are met:

  • The defect was hidden and therefore not apparent at the time of purchase.
  • The defect existed at the time the product was purchased.
  • The defect makes the product unusable or significantly diminishes its use.

This guarantee is applicable to all types of products (new, on sale, etc.) and regardless of the seller (private individual, professional, manufacturer, etc.). To be eligible for this guarantee, the consumer has a period of **two years** from the discovery of the defect to take action. The duration of this guarantee is also limited to **five years** after the product's purchase, and it is up to the consumer to prove the existence of the defect.

For more details, you can refer to the various articles of the Consumer Code and the Civil Code:
**Article L. 211-4 of the Consumer Code:** "The seller is required to deliver a good that conforms to the contract and is liable for any lack of conformity existing at the time of delivery. They are also liable for any lack of conformity resulting from the packaging, assembly instructions, or installation when the latter was the responsibility of the seller under the contract or was carried out under their responsibility." *Note: This article has been updated and is now replaced by Article L. 217-4, but the principle remains the same.*
 "The seller is required to deliver a good that conforms to the contract and is liable for any lack of conformity existing at the time of delivery. They are also liable for any lack of conformity resulting from the packaging, assembly instructions, or installation when the latter was the responsibility of the seller under the contract or was carried out under their responsibility."
Article L. 211-5 of the Consumer Code: "To be in conformity with the contract, the good must:
1. Be fit for the purpose ordinarily expected of a similar good and, where applicable:

  • Correspond to the description given by the seller and possess the qualities that the seller presented to the buyer in the form of a sample or model.
  • possess 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. 

2. Or, have the characteristics defined by mutual agreement between the parties or be fit for any special purpose sought by the buyer, brought to the seller's attention and which the latter has accepted.
Article L. 211-12 of the Consumer Code: The action resulting from a lack of conformity is time-barred after two years from the delivery of the good.
Article 1641 of the Civil Code: The seller is bound by a warranty against hidden defects in the item sold that render it unfit for its intended use, or that so diminish that use that the buyer would not have acquired it, or would only have paid a lower price for it, had they known about the defects.
Article 1648 alinea 1e of the civil Code: The action resulting from hidden defects must be brought by the buyer within a period of two years from the discovery of the defect.
