9.1 Legal guarantee of conformity

The Seller guarantees the conformity of the Product to the Advertisement.

The Seller undertakes to ensure that the Product(s) ordered correspond in all respects to the information and photographs published in the Advertisement.

The Products must be returned to the Seller with a copy of the corresponding purchase invoice.

It is recalled that the legal guarantee of conformity applies independently of any commercial guarantee that may have been granted.

9.3. Reminder of applicable legal provisions

For all useful purposes, the following legal provisions are recalled:

Article L217-3 of the Consumer Code: The seller delivers goods that comply with the contract and the criteria set out in Article L. 217-5.

It is liable for defects of conformity existing at the time of delivery of the goods within the meaning of Article L. 216-1, which appear within two years of this delivery.

In the case of a contract for the sale of goods containing digital elements:

1° When the contract provides for the continuous supply of digital content or a digital service for a period of less than or equal to two years, or when the contract does not determine the duration of supply, the seller is liable for any lack of conformity of this digital content or this digital service which appears within a period of two years from the delivery of the goods;

2° Where the contract provides for the continuous supply of digital content or a digital service for a period exceeding two years, the seller shall be liable for any lack of conformity of this digital content or this digital service which appears during the period during which it is supplied under the contract.

For such goods, the applicable deadline does not deprive the consumer of his right to updates in accordance with the provisions of Article L. 217-19.

The seller is also liable, during the same time limits, for defects in conformity resulting from the packaging, assembly instructions, or installation when this has been made his responsibility by the contract or has been carried out under his responsibility, or when the incorrect installation, carried out by the consumer as provided for in the contract, is due to gaps or errors in the installation instructions provided by the seller.

This warranty period applies without prejudice to Articles 2224 et seq. of the Civil Code. The starting point for the limitation period for the consumer's action is the day on which the latter becomes aware of the lack of conformity.

Article L217-4 of the Consumer Code: The good is in conformity with the contract if it meets, in particular, where applicable, the following criteria:

1° It corresponds to the description, type, quantity and quality, in particular with regard to functionality, compatibility, interoperability, or any other characteristic provided for in the contract;

2° It is suitable for any special use sought by the consumer, brought to the attention of the seller at the latest at the time of conclusion of the contract and which the latter has accepted;

3° It is delivered with all accessories and installation instructions, to be provided in accordance with the contract;

4° It is updated in accordance with the contract.

Article L. 217-5 of the Consumer Code: I.-In addition to the criteria of conformity to the contract, the good is compliant if it meets the following criteria:

1° It is suitable for the use normally expected of a good of the same type, taking into account, where appropriate, any provisions of European Union law and national law as well as all technical standards or, in the absence of such technical standards, specific codes of conduct applicable to the sector concerned;

2° Where applicable, it has the qualities that the seller presented to the consumer in the form of a sample or model, before the conclusion of the contract;

3° Where applicable, the digital elements it contains are provided according to the most recent version available at the time of conclusion of the contract, unless the parties agree otherwise;

4° Where applicable, it is delivered with all accessories, including packaging, and installation instructions that the consumer can legitimately expect;

5° Where applicable, it is provided with the updates that the consumer can legitimately expect, in accordance with the provisions of Article L. 217-19;

6° It corresponds to the quantity, quality and other characteristics, including in terms of durability, functionality, compatibility and safety, that the consumer can legitimately expect for goods of the same type, having regard to the nature of the goods as well as to the public statements made by the seller, by any person upstream in the chain of transactions, or by a person acting on their behalf, including in advertising or on labeling.

II.- However, the seller is not bound by any public declarations mentioned in the preceding paragraph if he demonstrates:

1° That he did not know them and was not legitimately able to know them;

2° That at the time of the conclusion of the contract, the public declarations had been rectified under conditions comparable to the initial declarations; or

3° That the public statements could not have had any influence on the purchasing decision.

III.- The consumer may not contest conformity by invoking a defect concerning one or more particular characteristics of the good, of which he has been specifically informed that they deviate from the conformity criteria set out in this article, a deviation to which he has expressly and separately consented when concluding the contract.

Article L. 217-7 of the Consumer Code : Defects of conformity which appear within twenty-four months of delivery of the goods, including goods containing digital elements, are, unless proven otherwise, presumed to exist at the time of delivery, unless this presumption is incompatible with the nature of the goods or the defect claimed.

For used goods, this period is set at twelve months.

Where the contract for the sale of a good containing digital elements provides for the continuous supply of digital content or a digital service, any defects of conformity which appear are presumed to exist at the time of delivery of the good:

1° For a period of two years from the delivery of the goods, when the contract provides for this supply for a period of less than or equal to two years or when the contract does not determine the duration of supply;

2° During the period during which the digital content or digital service is provided under the contract, when the contract provides for this provision for a period exceeding two years.

Article L. 217-8 of the Consumer Code: In the event of a lack of conformity, the consumer has the right to have the goods brought into conformity by repair or replacement or, failing that, to a reduction in the price or termination of the contract, under the conditions set out in this subsection.

The consumer also has the right to suspend payment of all or part of the price or the delivery of the benefit provided for in the contract until the seller has fulfilled the obligations incumbent on him under this chapter, under the conditions of Articles 1219 and 1220 of the Civil Code.

The provisions of this chapter are without prejudice to the allocation of damages.

Article L. 217-9 of the Consumer Code : The consumer is entitled to demand that the goods comply with the criteria set out in subsection 1 of this section.

The consumer requests that the seller bring the goods into conformity, choosing between repair and replacement. To this end, the consumer makes the goods available to the seller.

Article L. 217-10 of the Consumer Code : The goods are brought into conformity within a reasonable period of time which may not exceed thirty days following the consumer's request and without major inconvenience for the consumer, taking into account the nature of the goods and the use sought by the consumer.

The repair or replacement of the non-conforming good includes, where applicable, the removal and recovery of this good and the installation of the repaired good or the replacement good by the seller.

A decree specifies the terms for bringing the property into compliance.

Article L217-11 of the Consumer Code: The conformity of the goods takes place at no cost to the consumer.

The consumer is not required to pay for the normal use he made of the replaced good during the period prior to its replacement.

Article L217-12 of the Consumer Code: The seller may not proceed according to the choice made by the consumer if the requested compliance is impossible or entails disproportionate costs, in particular with regard to:

1° Of the value that the property would have in the absence of a lack of conformity;

2° The significance of the lack of conformity; and

3° The possible possibility of opting for the other choice without major inconvenience for the consumer.

The seller may refuse to bring the property into conformity if this is impossible or entails disproportionate costs, particularly with regard to 1° and 2°.

When these conditions are not met, the consumer may, after formal notice, pursue specific enforcement of the solution initially requested, in accordance with Articles 1221 et seq. of the Civil Code.

Any refusal by the seller to proceed according to the consumer's choice or to bring the goods into conformity must be justified in writing or on a durable medium.

Article L. 217-13 of the Consumer Code : Any good repaired under the legal guarantee of conformity benefits from a six-month extension of this guarantee.

If the consumer chooses to have the repair carried out but this is not carried out by the seller, compliance by replacing the goods starts a new period of legal guarantee of conformity attached to the replaced goods for the benefit of the consumer. This provision applies from the day the replacement goods are delivered to the consumer.

Article L. 217-14 of the Consumer Code : The consumer has the right to a reduction in the price of the goods or to the termination of the contract in the following cases:

1° When the professional refuses any compliance;

2° When compliance occurs after a period of thirty days following the consumer's request or if it causes him major inconvenience;

3° If the consumer definitively bears the costs of recovery or removal of the non-compliant good, or if he bears the installation of the repaired or replacement good or the costs relating thereto;

4° When 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 the termination of the contract when the lack of conformity is so serious that it justifies the immediate reduction in price or termination of the contract. The consumer is then not required to request the repair or replacement of the goods beforehand.

The consumer is not entitled to cancel the sale if the lack of conformity is minor, which is the seller's responsibility to demonstrate. This paragraph does not apply to contracts in which the consumer fails to pay a price.

Article L. 217-15 of the Consumer Code : In the cases provided for in Article L. 217-14, the consumer informs the seller of his decision to obtain a reduction in the price of the goods.

The reduction in price is proportional to the difference between the value of the goods delivered and the value of these goods in the absence of the lack of conformity.

Article L. 217-16 of the Consumer Code : In the cases provided for in Article L. 217-14, the consumer informs the seller of his decision to terminate the contract. He returns the goods to the seller at the latter's expense. The seller reimburses the consumer for the price paid and returns any other benefit received under the contract.

If the lack of conformity only concerns certain goods delivered under the sales contract, the consumer has the right to terminate the contract for all goods, even those not covered by this chapter, if he cannot reasonably be expected to agree to keep only the conforming goods.

For contracts referred to in II of Article L. 217-1, providing for the sale of goods and, incidentally, the provision of services not covered by this chapter, the consumer has the right to terminate the entire contract. Furthermore, in the case of a bundled offer within the meaning of Article L. 224-42-2, the consumer has the right to terminate all contracts relating thereto.

The respective obligations of the parties to the contract, mentioned in Article L. 224-25-22 and relating to the consequences of the resolution for digital content and digital services, are applicable to the resolution of the contract of sale of a good containing digital elements.

Article L. 217-17 of the Consumer Code : Reimbursement to the consumer of the sums owed by the seller under this subsection is made upon receipt of the goods or proof of their return by the consumer and at the latest within the following fourteen days.

The seller reimburses these sums using the same means of payment as that used by the consumer when concluding the contract, unless expressly agreed by the latter and in any event without additional costs.

Article 1641 of the Civil Code: The seller is bound by the guarantee for hidden defects in the thing sold which make it unfit for the use for which it is intended, or which reduce this use so much that the buyer would not have acquired it, or would have paid a lower price for it, if he had known of them.

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

Article 1643 of the Civil Code: He is liable for hidden defects, even if he was not aware of them, unless, in this case, he has stipulated that he will not be obliged to provide any guarantee.

Article 1644 of the Civil Code: In the case of Articles 1641 and 1643, the buyer has the choice of returning the item and having the price refunded, or of keeping the item and having part of the price refunded.

Article 1646 of the Civil Code: If the seller was unaware of the defects in the item, he will only be required to return the price and reimburse the purchaser for the costs incurred by the sale.

Article 1648 of the Civil Code: An action resulting from latent defects must be brought by the purchaser within two years of the discovery of the defect. In the case provided for in Article 1642-1, the action must be brought, under penalty of foreclosure, within one year following the date on which the seller can be discharged from apparent defects or lack of conformity.

Therefore, the Seller undertakes to comply with the following obligations.

11.1. Obligations to comply with applicable laws and regulations

The Seller will make all necessary declarations to the relevant authorities to comply with its obligations.

In particular, the Seller:

  • damages arising from use of the Products not in accordance with the recommendations provided on the Product label or not in accordance with the instructions provided by the Seller;

  • non-performance of the contract or delay in delivery if this non-performance or delay is attributable to the Buyer, in particular in the following situations:

  • inaccuracy or imprecision of the delivery address provided by the Buyer. Thus, in the event of a new delivery following this inaccuracy or imprecision, the costs relating to this new delivery will be invoiced to the Buyer.

  • the Buyer does not collect the delivered package within the time limit given to him by the carrier.

11.2. Obligations to respect the rights of third parties

The Seller undertakes to hold full and entire ownership of any Product that it puts up for sale on the Site and it is prohibited from putting up for sale any Product that is subject to a sales ban.

The Seller is prohibited from putting on sale any Product likely to infringe or which would infringe prior rights of third parties, in particular intellectual property rights, and/or the exploitation of which would constitute acts of unfair and/or parasitic competition.

The Seller guarantees that the Products it offers for sale have already been put on the market in the European Union or the European Economic Area or that it has obtained authorization from the holder(s) of the rights relating to the Products for this offer for sale. In any event, the Seller will be solely and entirely responsible for any request from the holder of the rights relating to the Products.

The Seller undertakes to only put online Content, in particular photographs, for which it holds the relevant intellectual property rights.

It also prohibits itself from being responsible, on the Site, for acts of defamation, insult, attacks on privacy or even image rights.

With regard in particular to the "chat" system set up on the Site to exchange messages with Buyers, the Seller acknowledges that its use is solely for the purpose of exchanging information on the Products. The Seller is prohibited in particular from sending:

11.3. Seller's Liability

It is recalled that D BY DELPHINE operates an online platform enabling Sellers and Buyers to connect. As such, in its capacity as a simple intermediary, D BY DELPHINE, which is neither a Seller nor a Buyer, exercises no control over the sales made by Sellers on the Site. The fact that D BY DELPHINE ensures the consistency, harmonization and homogeneity of the photographic and editorial content of the Advertisements does not imply any control by D BY DELPHINE over the sale of the Products (in particular the possible counterfeit nature of the Products and the authentic nature of the stones/metals composing them).

Consequently, the Seller is solely responsible for the proper execution of the sales contract it concludes with the Buyer, for the Products, Content and Advertisements it publishes on the Site, and for handling any claims from Buyers and third parties. In particular, the Seller assumes all responsibilities arising from its obligations under Articles 11.1. and 11.2. of the General Terms and Conditions.

In the event of a complaint from a Buyer, the Seller will be personally responsible for resolving it. Disputes are settled directly between the Buyer and the Seller. The Seller must make every effort to resolve the dispute with the Buyer.
