9. Legal Guarantees
Products sold by BALQIS Modest Essentials benefit from the legal guarantee of conformity provided for by the French Consumer Code and the legal guarantee against hidden defects provided for by the French Civil Code.
Legal Guarantee of Conformity
The consumer has a period of two years from delivery of the product to request the application of the legal guarantee of conformity when a lack of conformity appears.
Under this guarantee, the consumer may request the repair or replacement of the product, free of charge, under the conditions provided by law. The product must be brought into conformity within a maximum period of 30 days following the request and without significant inconvenience to the consumer.
Where repair or replacement is impossible, is not carried out under the conditions required by law, or where the lack of conformity justifies it, the consumer may, subject to the applicable legal conditions, request a price reduction or the termination of the contract and a refund for the product.
Where a product is repaired under the legal guarantee of conformity, the guarantee period is extended by six months.
Where the seller requires replacement of the product even though the consumer requested repair, the replacement product benefits from a new two-year legal guarantee of conformity from the date of replacement.
Rights relating to the legal guarantee of conformity arise from Articles L.217-1 to L.217-32 of the French Consumer Code.
Legal Guarantee Against Hidden Defects
The consumer also benefits from the guarantee against hidden defects provided for in Articles 1641 to 1649 of the French Civil Code.
The consumer has two years from the discovery of the defect to take action.
Subject to the conditions provided by law, this guarantee may allow the consumer either to keep the product and obtain a reduction in price or to return the product and obtain a refund.
10. Liability
BALQIS Modest Essentials is responsible for the performance of its obligations in accordance with applicable law.
BALQIS Modest Essentials shall not, however, be held liable for damage resulting from improper use of the products, fault on the part of the customer or an event constituting force majeure under French law.
