With regard to consumers, the seller guarantees the products it sells and the services it provides in accordance with the law of September 1, 2004, on the protection of consumers in the sale of consumer goods (articles 1649 bis to 1649 octies of the Civil Code).
In the event of non-compliance of a sold product found within a month of delivery, the consumer must notify the seller as soon as possible in a precise manner by registered letter or email.
