Article L211-4
The vendor is required to deliver goods that comply with the contract and is answerable for any non-compliances existing

charge of the latter under the terms of the contract or when carried out under its responsibility.
Article L211-5
To comply with the contract, the goods must:
1. Be suitable for the use customarily expected of similar goods and, if applicable, must:
- match the description given by the Vendor and possess the qualities that the Vendor has presented to the Buyer in the
form or a sample or model;
- have the qualities a Buyer can legitimately expect, considering the public statements made by the Vendor, the producer or
its representative, particularly in its advertising or labeling;
2. Or alternatively, present the characteristics mutually defined by the parties or be suitable for any special purpose desired by the
Buyer which has been made known to the Vendor and which the Vendor has accepted.

When, during the term of the commercial warranty granted to the Buyer when the goods were purchased or repaired, the Buyer
requests a repair from the Vendor which is covered by the warranty, any period of immobilisation of seven days or more shall be
added to the remaining term of the warranty. This period shall apply from the date the Buyer requests that work is performed or
when the goods in question were made available for repair, if this second date precedes the request for the work to be performed.
Article 1641
The vendor is bound by the warranty for any hidden defects in the item sold which make it unsuitable for its intended purpose or
which limit the said purpose to such an extent that the purchaser would not have acquired it, or would only have paid a lower price
had they been aware of it.
