ARTICLE 5 - PRODUCTS

All our products are covered by legal warranties, i.e. the legal warranty of conformity and the warranty against hidden defects. Some of them are also covered by a commercial warranty offered by the supplier, who determines the conditions.

5.1 Legal warranties

In our capacity as seller, we are liable for any lack of conformity of the products we sell under the terms of article L.217-4 et seq. of the French Consumer Code, and for any hidden defects under the terms of article 1641 et seq. of the French Civil Code.

The legal warranty of conformity applies when your product has a defect of conformity, for example when your product does not function in accordance with its usual use, or when it does not correspond to the description given.

The legal warranty of conformity applies independently of any commercial warranty.

You may decide to invoke the warranty for hidden defects as defined in article 1641 of the French Civil Code. The warranty for hidden defects covers you when your product has a hidden defect, i.e. a defect not apparent at the time of sale which renders the product unsuitable for its intended use, or which significantly reduces that use. In this case, you can choose between rescission of the sale or a reduction in the purchase price, in accordance with article 1644 of the French Civil Code.

5.1.1. Legal warranty of conformity of the Products (and of the digital elements contained in the Products)

For Products purchased before January 1, 2022 , you :

Any repair of the original product, whether new or used, within the scope of the present warranty, will result in a six (6) month extension of the said warranty.

Any replacement implemented by thebradery.com within the framework of the present warranty will entail, from the date of receipt of the replacement product, a new period of legal warranty of conformity attached to the replaced product. Please note: when the good is replaced at your request, the legal warranty of conformity cannot be renewed.

For the digital element contained in your Product purchased on or after January 1, 2022 :

If the contract provides for the supply of a digital element with the Product, the latter benefits from its own legal warranty of conformity. Consequently, you :

- You can take advantage of the legal guarantee of conformity attached to the digital element:

 

For two (2) years from the date of supply of the digital element if your contract provides for the element to be supplied on a continuous basis for an indefinite period or for a period equal to or less than two (2) years.

In this case, you do not need to prove the existence of a lack of conformity for two (2) years following the delivery of the digital item.

 During the entire period of supply of the digital element, if your contract provides for the element to be supplied continuously for a period of more than two (2) years.

In this case, you do not need to prove the existence of any lack of conformity that may appear during the supply of the digital element.

- Can request compliance of the digital element included in the property.

Article 5.1.2. Legal warranty of conformity for digital content and services

Digital content and services purchased on thebradery.com from January 1st 2022 are covered by the legal warranty of conformity. Therefore, you :

- You can take advantage of the legal guarantee of conformity:

For two (2) years from the delivery of the digital content or service, if your contract provides for such content/service to be delivered on a one-time or unique basis.

You are exempt from having to prove the existence of the lack of conformity for twelve (12) months following the supply of the content/service.

During the entire period of supply of the digital content or service, if your contract stipulates that said content/service is supplied on a continuous basis over a given period.

In this case, you do not need to prove the existence of a lack of conformity that appears during the entire supply period.

- Can request compliance of digital content or service.

If the consumer asks for the good to be repaired, but the seller requires it to be replaced, the legal warranty of conformity is renewed for a period of two years from the date of replacement of the good.


The consumer may obtain a reduction in the purchase price by retaining the good or terminate the contract by obtaining a full refund against return of the good, if :


1° The professional refuses to repair or replace the good;


2° The goods are repaired or replaced within thirty days ;


3° The repair or replacement of the good causes a major inconvenience for the consumer, in particular when the consumer definitively bears the cost of taking back or removing the non-conforming good, or if he bears the cost of installing the repaired or replacement good;


4° The non-conformity of the property persists despite the seller's unsuccessful attempt to bring it into conformity.


The consumer is also entitled to a reduction in the price of the goods, or to rescission of the contract, if the lack of conformity is so serious as to justify immediate price reduction or rescission of the contract. In this case, the consumer is not obliged to request repair or replacement of the goods beforehand.


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


Any period during which the product is immobilized for repair or replacement suspends the warranty remaining until delivery of the repaired product.


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


A seller who obstructs the implementation of the legal guarantee of conformity in bad faith is liable to a civil fine of up to 300,000 euros, which may be increased to 10% of average annual sales (article L. 241-5 of the French Consumer Code).


The consumer also benefits from the legal guarantee against hidden defects in application of articles 1641 to 1649 of the French Civil Codefor a period of two years from the date of discovery of the defect. This warranty entitles the consumer to a price reduction if the good is kept, or to a full refund in exchange for the return of the good.

 

In accordance with the provisions of article L217-10 et seq. of the French Consumer Code, the customer has the right to have the goods repaired or replaced, or, failing this, to have the price reduced or the contract rescinded, under the conditions set out in the legal provisions reproduced below.

12.2.2 Warranty against hidden defects 

The customer may also invoke the legal warranty for latent defects in the item sold, in accordance with articles 1641 et seq. of the French Civil Code (reproduced below). 

According to article 1641 of the French Civil Code: "The seller is liable for any hidden defects in the item sold which render it unfit for its intended use, or which impair this use to such an extent that the buyer would not have purchased it, or would only have paid a lesser price for it, had he been aware of them".

 

The legal warranty for hidden defects allows the customer, within a period of two years from the discovery of the defect, to request reimbursement of the total amount of the Product which has proved to be unfit for use, or to request reimbursement of part of the price of the Product if he/she decides to keep it, in accordance with the provisions of article 1644 of the French Civil Code.

 To do so, the Customer must prove that the defect existed prior to delivery of the product and was not apparent at the time of delivery.  

12.2.4 -Implementation of warranties 

 To invoke these guarantees, the customer must contact the Customer Relations department by sending an e-mail toadresse hello@thebradery.com.

This request for implementation must indicate the lack of conformity or hidden defect found. SYMMETRIC reserves the right to request one or more photos to support the claim.

 Upon receipt of this request, SYMMETRIC will send the customer a notice of receipt of the request.

The company SYMMETRIC will have a period of TEN (10) days to study the customer's request and validate it or not.

The Product must then, in case of implementation of the Warranty, accepted by the company SYMMETRIC be returned, with the references of the initial Order and a copy of the claim stating the reason for the return of the Product, to the headquarters of the company SYMMETRIC.

- Art. L217-5 of the French Consumer Code: "The goods conform to the contract: 1° If it is fit for the purpose usually expected of similar goods and, where applicable (a) if it corresponds to the description given by the seller and possesses the qualities that the seller presented to the buyer in the form of a sample or model ; (b) if it has the qualities that a buyer may legitimately expect in view of the public statements made by the seller, by the producer or by his representative, particularly in advertising or labelling; 2° Or if it has the characteristics defined by mutual agreement between the parties or is suitable for any special use sought by the buyer, brought to the seller's attention and accepted by the latter. "

- Art. L217-9 of the French Consumer Code: "In the event of a lack of conformity, the buyer may choose between repair and replacement. However, the seller may not proceed according to the buyer's choice if this choice entails a cost that is manifestly disproportionate to the other option, given the value of the good or the importance of the defect. In this case, the seller is obliged to proceed according to the method not chosen by the buyer, unless this is impossible.

- Art. L217-10 of the French Consumer Code: "If repair or replacement of the good is impossible, the buyer may return the good and have the price refunded, or keep the good and have part of the price refunded. The same option is available to the buyer: 1° If the solution requested, proposed or agreed in application of article L. 217-9 cannot be implemented within one month of the buyer's complaint; 2° Or if this solution cannot be implemented without major inconvenience for the buyer, given the nature of the good and its intended use. However, the sale may not be rescinded if the lack of conformity is minor.

- Art. L217-11 of the French Consumer Code: "The application of the provisions of articles L. 217-9 and L. 217-10 is free of charge for the buyer. These same provisions do not prevent the award of damages.

- Art. L217-12 of the French Consumer Code: "Any action resulting from a lack of conformity must be brought within two years of delivery of the goods.

- Art. L217-13 of the French Consumer Code: "The provisions of the present section do not deprive the buyer of the right to exercise the action resulting from redhibitory defects as set forth in articles 1641 to 1649 of the French Civil Code or any other action of a contractual or extra-contractual nature recognized by law.

- Art. 1641 of the French Civil Code: "The seller is liable for any hidden defects in the item sold which render it unfit for its intended use, or which impair that use to such an extent that the buyer would not have purchased it, or would have paid a lower price for it, had he been aware of them."

- Art.1642 of the French Civil Code: "The seller is not liable for apparent defects of which the buyer has been able to convince himself."

- Art. 1643 of the French Civil Code: "He is liable for hidden defects, even if he is unaware of them, unless he has stipulated that he will not be obliged to provide any guarantee.

- Art. 1644 of the Civil Code: "In the case of articles 1641 and 1643, the buyer has the choice of returning the thing and having the price refunded, or keeping the thing and having part of the price refunded."

- Art. 1646 of the French Civil Code: "If the seller was unaware of the defects in the item, he will only be obliged to refund the price and reimburse the buyer for the costs incurred by the sale.

- Art. 1648 of the French Civil Code: "The action resulting from redhibitory defects must be brought by the purchaser within two years of discovery of the defect. (...) "
