Article 11: Guarantees
The consumer has two years from delivery of the goods to obtain the implementation of the legal guarantee 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 appeared.
When the sales contract for the goods provides for the continuous supply of digital content or a digital service for a period exceeding two years, the legal guarantee applies to this digital content or digital service throughout the entire period of supply. 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 legal guarantee of conformity requires the professional, where applicable, to provide all updates necessary to maintain the conformity of the goods. The legal guarantee of conformity entitles the consumer to have the goods repaired or replaced within thirty days of their request, free of charge and without significant inconvenience.
If the goods are repaired under the legal guarantee of conformity, the consumer benefits from a six-month extension of the initial warranty.
If the consumer requests the repair of the goods, but the seller imposes a replacement, the legal guarantee of conformity is renewed for a period of two years from the date of replacement.
The consumer may obtain a reduction in the purchase price by keeping the goods or terminate the contract with a full refund upon return of the goods if:
1° The professional 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, particularly when the consumer permanently bears the costs of taking back or removing the non-compliant goods, or if they bear the costs of installing the repaired or replaced goods; 4° The non-conformity of the goods persists despite the seller’s unsuccessful attempt to bring them into conformity.
The consumer is also entitled to a reduction in the price of the goods or to termination of the contract when 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 the repair or replacement of the goods beforehand.
The consumer is not entitled to rescission of the sale if the lack of conformity is minor.
Any period during which the goods are immobilized for the purpose of repair or replacement suspends the remaining warranty until delivery of the repaired goods.
The above-mentioned rights arise from the application of Articles L. 217-1 to L. 217-32 of the French Consumer Code. Any seller who, in bad faith, obstructs the implementation of the legal guarantee of conformity is liable to a civil fine of up to €300,000, which may be increased to 10% of average annual turnover (Article L. 241-5 of the French Consumer Code). Consumers are also covered by the legal guarantee 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 guarantee entitles them to a price reduction if the item is kept or to a full refund upon return of the item.
Article 12: Complaints
The buyer may submit any complaint by contacting the company either by email: info@diezz-sport.com or via the contact form. In the event of dissatisfaction, the responsible party may be contacted. After prior written representations by consumers to GB DIFFUSION, the mediation service may be contacted for any dispute that remains unresolved.
