ARTICLE 12. WARRANTIES

Apart from the commercial guarantees that GREEN ETHNIES may offer for certain Products, all Customers benefit from "legal" guarantees, for all Products, which are detailed below.

Article 12.1. Warranty of conformity

 

Article L. 217-4 of the French Consumer Code: " The seller delivers goods in conformity with the contract and is responsible for any defects in conformity existing at the time of delivery.
He is also responsible for defects in conformity resulting from the packaging, the assembly instructions or the installation when the latter was made his responsibility by the contract or was carried out under his responsibility"
.

 Article L.217-5 of the French Consumer Code: " The goods shall be compliant with the contract:
1. If they are suitable for the usage ordinarily expected of a similar item and, where applicable:
- if they are consistent with the description provided by the seller and have the qualities represented by it to the buyer in the form of a sample of model;
- if their characteristics are those that a buyer may legitimately expect, having regard to any public declarations made by the seller, by the producer or by its representative, in particular in advertising or labelling;
2. If they have characteristics defined by mutual agreement between the parties or are suitable for any special usage sought by the buyer that was brought to the attention of the seller and accepted by the latter”
.

 

GREEN ETHNIES shall bear liability for any aspects of non-conformity existing upon Delivery and any aspects of non-conformity caused by the packaging, where liability has been imposed on it or has arisen through its own fault.

 

Any action relating to an instance of non-conformity may only be brought within two (2) years of Delivery of the Product. (Article L.217-12 of the French Consumer Code)

In the event of any non-conformity, the Customer may ask for the Product to be replaced or repaired, at his/her choosing. However, should the cost of the choice made by the Customer be manifestly disproportionate with the other alternative option available, taking account of the value of the Product or the severity of the defect, GREEN ETHNIES may issue a reimbursement, without pursuing the option chosen by the Customer.

Should replacement or repair prove to be impossible, GREEN ETHNIES undertakes to reimburse the price of the PRODUCT within thirty (30) days of receipt of the PRODUCT following its return, in exchange for the return of the Product by the CLIENT to the following address: GREEN ETHNIES, Rue du Bourg 17, 1095 LUTRY, SWITZERLAND.

Finally, the Customer is released from the requirement furnish proof of the non-conformity of a Product for a period of twenty-four (24) months after Delivery of the Product, except for special offer goods, the time limit for which is set at six (6) months. (Article L. 217-7 of the French Consumer Code).

 

This legal conformity warranty shall remain valid irrespective of the commercial warranty provided, where applicable, for the Products.

 

Article 12.2. Warranty for latent defects  

 

GREEN ETHNIES is obliged to provide a warranty against any latent defects in the Product sold that render it inappropriate for its intended usage or that impair such usage to such an extent that the Customer would not have purchased it, or would only have done so for a lower price, had he/she been aware of it. (Article 1641 of the French Civil Code)

 

This warranty enables any Customer who is able to establish the existence of a latent defect to choose between a reimbursement of the price of the Product, if it is returned, and reimbursement of part of the price, if the Product is not returned.

 

Should replacement or repair prove to be impossible, GREEN ETHNIES undertakes to reimburse the price of the Product within thirty (30) days of receipt of the Product following its return, in exchange for the return of the Product by the Customer to the following address: GREEN ETHNIES, Rue du Bourg 17, 1095 LUTRY, SWITZERLAND.

Any action relating to material defects must be brought by the Customer within two (2) years of the time when the defect was discovered. (Paragraph 1 of Article 1648 of the French Civil Code)

 

ARTICLE 13. LIABILITY

GREEN ETHNIES shall not under any circumstances incur any liability in the event of the failure by the Customer to comply or for inadequate compliance with the contractual obligations incumbent upon him/her, in particular when submitting his/her Order.

GREEN ETHNIES may not be held liable, or deemed to be in breach of these Terms and Conditions, for any delay or non-performance where such delay or non-performance results from a force majeure occurrence as defined according to the case law of the French courts.

It is moreover stipulated that GREEN ETHNIES does not have any control over any websites that are linked either directly or indirectly to the Website. Consequently, it declines all liability for any information published on such websites. Links to third party websites are only provided as a guide and no warranty is offered as to their content.

 

ARTICLE 14. FORCE MAJEURE

GREEN ETHNIES shall not incur any liability if the non-compliance or delay in complying with any of its obligations set forth in these GTC-S results from a force majeure occurrence.

A contractual force majeure occurrence shall be deemed to have arisen under any circumstances beyond the control of the obligor that could not be reasonably foreseen upon conclusion of the contract, the effects of which cannot be avoided through appropriate action, that prevent the obligor from complying with its obligations.

If the impediment is temporary, the requirement to comply with the obligation shall be suspended unless the resulting delay is such as to justify the termination of the contract. Should the impediment prove to be definitive, the contract shall be terminated automatically and the parties shall be released from their obligations, subject to the prerequisites laid down by Articles 1351 and 1351-1 of the French Civil Code.

GREEN ETHNIES undertakes to inform the Customer as soon as possible should any of the scenarios mentioned above arise.
