What is the territorial scope of the Cabaïa Commercial Guarantee?

The Cabaïa Commercial Guarantee applies to all purchases of Cabaïa products made in metropolitan France, subject to the above conditions.

The Cabaïa Commercial Guarantee, where applicable, applies without prejudice to your right to benefit from the legal guarantee of conformity, under the conditions provided for in Chapter VII of Title I of Book II of the French Consumer Code, and that relating to latent defects, under the conditions provided for in Articles 1641 to 1649 of the French Civil Code.

Any request formulated under the legal guarantees must be addressed by registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt (LRAR) to the head office of VALTEX - 7 Cité Paradis 75010 Paris.

The consumer has a period of two years from the delivery of the goods to obtain the implementation of the legal guarantee of conformity in case of a defect 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 appearance.

Where the contract of sale of the goods provides for the supply of digital content or a digital service on a continuous basis for a period of more than two years, the legal warranty is applicable 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 service and not the date of its appearance.

The legal guarantee of conformity implies 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 replace the good within thirty days of his request, without charge and without major inconvenience to him.

If the good is repaired under 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 warranty 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 retaining the goods or terminate the contract by obtaining a full refund in exchange for the return of the goods, if :

1° The trader refuses to repair or replace the property;
2° The repair or replacement of the goods takes place after a period of thirty days;
3° The repair or replacement of the good causes a major inconvenience to the consumer, in particular when the consumer definitively bears the cost of taking back or removing the non-conforming good, or if the consumer bears the cost of installing the repaired or replaced good;
4° The non-conformity of the property persists despite the seller's unsuccessful attempt to bring it into conformity.

The consumer is also entitled to a reduction in the price of the goods or to rescission of the contract where the lack of conformity is so serious as to justify immediate reduction in price or rescission of the contract. The consumer is then not obliged to ask for the repair or replacement of the goods beforehand.

The consumer is not entitled to rescind the sale if the lack of conformity is minor.

Any period of immobilization of the good for its repair or replacement suspends the guarantee which remained to run until the delivery of the good restored.

The above-mentioned rights result from the application of articles L. 217-1 to L. 217-32 of the Consumer Code.

A seller who obstructs in bad faith the implementation of the legal guarantee of conformity is liable to a civil fine of up to 300,000 euros, which may be increased to 10% of the average annual turnover (Article L. 241-5 of the Consumer Code).

The consumer also benefits from the legal guarantee of hidden defects in application of articles 1641 to 1649 of the civil code, for a period of two years from the discovery of the defect. This guarantee gives the right to a price reduction if the good is kept or to a full refund against return of the good.

For any additional information concerning the legal guarantees you can contact VALTEX by mail, email or telephone using the contact details mentioned above.

In case of confirmation by VALTEX of the assumption of responsibility for the good under the legal guarantee giving rise to the repair or replacement of the non-conforming product, you must return the product to VALTEX for its compliance by post - Colissimo, the said return to be carried out and paid for by the parties in accordance with the provisions of Articles L.217-4 et seq., D.217-1, L.241-6 et seq. In this respect, VALTEX will be obliged to reimburse you for the cost of sending the good to be brought into conformity within a period of fourteen days at the latest from the day on which you are informed that the good has been taken over under the legal guarantee. The amount due for this is automatically increased by 10% if the refund is made within fourteen days after this period, by 20% up to thirty days and by 50% thereafter.
