7.2. Right of Withdrawal - Distance Selling This article 7.2 applies to Customers who have the status of consumers within the meaning of the introductory article of the Consumer Code.
7.2.1. Conditions for Exercising the Right of Withdrawal In accordance with the current legislation on distance selling, the Customer has a period of fourteen clear days to exercise their right of withdrawal without having to justify reasons or pay penalties, except, where applicable, for return costs.
The period mentioned in the previous paragraph starts either from the day the distance contract is concluded for contracts related to the provision of a service and/or the supply of digital content not supplied on a tangible medium, or from the day the goods are received by the Customer or a third party, other than the carrier, designated by the Customer, for contracts for the sale of goods and contracts for the provision of services including the delivery of goods.
In the case of an order for several goods delivered separately or in the case of an order for a product consisting of multiple lots or pieces delivered over a defined period, the period starts from the receipt of the last good or lot or the last piece. For contracts providing for the regular delivery of goods over a defined period, the period starts from the receipt of the first good.
The consumer customer has a period of 2 years from the delivery of the goods to take action against the seller. In this regard, they can choose between repairing or replacing the Product, subject to the cost conditions provided for in Article L.217-9 of the Consumer Code. Finally, the Customer is exempt from providing evidence of the existence of the Product's non-conformity during the 24 months following its delivery, except for second-hand goods.
Where applicable, the legal warranty of conformity applies independently of any commercial warranty.
When the consumer customer decides to invoke the warranty for hidden defects, they can choose between cancelling the sale (rescission) or obtaining a price reduction.
