Legal guarantees

28.     Legal guarantee of conformity. The Consumer residing in the European Union has a period of two years from the delivery of the good to benefit from the legal guarantee of conformity in the event of the appearance 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 of its occurrence.
Where the contract for the sale of the goods provides for the continuous supply of digital content or digital service for a period exceeding two years, the legal guarantee shall apply to that digital content or digital service throughout the period of supply provided. 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 of its appearance.
The legal guarantee of conformity entails an obligation for the professional, if necessary, to provide all the updates necessary to maintain the conformity of the good.
The legal guarantee of conformity gives the Consumer the right to repair or replacement of the good within thirty days of his request, free of charge and without major inconvenience to him.
If the good is repaired within the framework of the legal guarantee of conformity, the Consumer benefits from a six-month extension of the initial guarantee.
If the Consumer requests the repair of the good, but the seller imposes the replacement, the legal guarantee 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 keeping the goods or terminate the contract and be reimbursed in full against return of the goods, if:
1 ° The professional refuses to repair or replace the good;
2 ° The repair or replacement of the good occurs after a period of 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 costs of taking back or removing the non-compliant good, or if he bears the installation fees of the repaired or replacement good;
4 ° The non-conformity of the good persists despite the seller's attempt to bring it into conformity remained unsuccessful.
The Consumer is also entitled to a price reduction or to contract termination when the lack of conformity is so serious that it justifies price reduction or termination of the contract to be immediate. The Consumer is then not required to request the repair or replacement of the good beforehand.
The Consumer is not entitled to the cancellation of the sale if the lack of conformity is minor.
Any period of immobilization of the good with a view to its repair or replacement suspends the warranty that remained to run until the delivery of the restored good.
The rights mentioned above result from the application of Articles L. 217-1 to L. 217-32 of the French Consumer Code.
The seller who obstructs in bad faith the implementation of the legal guarantee of conformity incurs a civil fine of up to 300,000 euros, which can be increased up to 10% of the average annual turnover (Article L. 241-5 of the French Consumer Code).
To benefit from the legal rights against faulty goods, the Consumer must notify Parrot Drones of the faulty Product in writing, either by sending his or her request to Parrot Drones SAS – 174, quai de Jemmapes – 75010 Paris – France, or via the "Customer Service" on the Site (www.parrot.com/en/contact).
The legal rights against faulty goods apply independently of the commercial guarantee indicated in articles 30 to 38 of these conditions of sale.
29.     Guarantee against hidden defects. The Client residing in France also benefits from the legal guarantee against hidden defects in application of articles 1641 to 1649 of the French Civil Code, for a period of two years from the discovery of the defect. This guarantee entitles to a price reduction if the good is kept or to a full refund against return of the good.
To benefit from the guarantee against hidden defects, the Consumer must notify Parrot Drones of the hidden defects in writing, either by sending his or her request to Parrot Drones SAS – 174, quai de Jemmapes – 75010 Paris – France, or via "Customer Service" on the Site (www.parrot.com/en/contact), and supply proof that the Product was affected by the said hidden defect on the day of the sale.
