Article L224-25-10 of the French Consumer Code: "The trader shall supply the digital content or the digital service without undue delay after the conclusion of the contract, unless the parties expressly agree on a specific date or deadline. The trader has fulfilled the obligation to supply when the digital content or the digital service, or any appropriate means of accessing or downloading it, are made available or accessible to the consumer at any physical or virtual location chosen by the latter. The burden of proving the supply of the digital content or digital service within the meaning of this article lies with the trader.
The supply of digital content on a physical medium used exclusively for its transport is governed by articles L. 216-1 et seq."

Article L224-25-11 of the French Consumer Code: "In the event of a breach by the professional of his obligation to supply under the conditions set out in article L. 224-25-10, the consumer may:

  1. Notify the professional of the suspension of payment of all or part of the price until the professional complies, under the conditions of articles 1219 and 1220 of the Civil Code;
  2. Rescind the contract if, after having given formal notice to the professional to supply the digital content or service, the latter has not performed without unjustified delay or within a supplementary period expressly agreed between the parties.

The contract shall be deemed to have been terminated on receipt by the trader of the letter or writing informing him of such termination, unless the trader has performed in the meantime. The consumer may immediately cancel the contract:

  1. Where the trader refuses to supply the digital content or service, or where it is clear that he will not do so;
  2. Where the trader fails to fulfil his obligation to supply the digital content or digital service on the date or at the end of the period provided for in the first paragraph of article L. 224-25-10, and where this date or period constitutes an essential condition of the contract for the consumer. This essential condition results from the circumstances surrounding the conclusion of the contract or from an express agreement between the consumer and the professional.

When the consumer exercises his right to cancel the contract, articles L. 224-25-22 and L. 224-25-23 apply. The provisions of this article are without prejudice to the award of damages.

9.2. In the case of professional Customers, unless otherwise agreed, deadlines do not constitute a strict deadline and PRAXINOS may not be held liable to the Customer in the event of a delay in the supply of Content and Services not exceeding 30 days. In the event of a delay of more than 30 days, the Customer must send PRAXINOS, by registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt, a formal notice to perform within eight (8) days of receipt of said formal notice, failing which the contract will be automatically terminated.

ARTICLE 10. GUARANTEES

10.1. The Content and Services provided by PRAXINOS are automatically and without further payment in accordance with legal provisions:

  • the legal guarantee of conformity (art. L.224-25-12 to L.224-25-31 of the French Consumer Code), for digital Content and Services that appear to be defective or do not correspond to the order (legal guarantee applicable exclusively to consumer and non-professional customers);
  • the legal warranty against hidden defects (art. 1641 to 1649 of the French Civil Code) arising from a design defect affecting the Content delivered and rendering it unfit for the use legitimately expected by the Customer;

Concerning the legal guarantee of conformity, under the conditions and in accordance with the terms set out in the box below:

  • The Customer acting as a consumer or non-professional within the meaning of the French Consumer Code, has a period of two (2) years from the date of supply of the Content or Service to obtain the implementation of the legal guarantee of conformity in the event of the appearance of a defect in conformity.
  • For a period of one year from the date of supply, the Customer is only required to establish the existence of the lack of conformity and not the date of its appearance.
  • The legal guarantee of conformity includes the obligation to provide all updates necessary to maintain the conformity of the Content or Service.
  • The legal guarantee of conformity entitles the Customer to have the Content or Service brought into conformity without undue delay following his request, at no cost and without any major inconvenience to him.
  • The Customer may obtain a reduction in price by retaining the Content or Service, or he may terminate the contract by obtaining a full refund in return for relinquishing the Content or Service, if:
    • 1° PRAXINOS refuses to make the Content or Service compliant;
    • 2 The compliance of the Content or Service is unjustifiably delayed;

    • 5° The non-conformity of the Content or Service persists despite unsuccessful attempts by PRAXINOS to bring it into conformity.

  • If PRAXINOS obstructs the implementation of the legal guarantee of conformity in bad faith, it is liable to a civil fine of up to 300,000 euros, which may be increased to 10% of average annual sales (article L. 242-18-1 of the French Consumer Code).
  • In addition, the customer benefits from the legal warranty for hidden defects in application of articles 1641 to 1649 of the French Civil Code, for a period of two years from the discovery of the defect.
  • This guarantee entitles the customer to a price reduction if the Content or Service is retained, or to a full refund in exchange for renunciation of the Content or Service.

APPENDIX 1: CURRENT LEGISLATION ON LEGAL WARRANTIES

Article L224-25-12: The professional provides digital content or a digital service that complies with the contract and the criteria set out in article L. 224-25-14.

Where the contract provides for a one-off supply of digital content or a digital service, or a series of separate supply operations, the professional is liable for any lack of conformity existing at the time of supply and which becomes apparent within two years of the supply.

Where the contract provides for the digital content or service to be supplied on an ongoing basis, the trader is liable for any lack of conformity that appears during the period in which it is supplied under the contract.
The applicable deadline does not deprive the consumer of his right to updates in accordance with the provisions of article L. 224-25-25.

The trader is also liable, within the same timeframe, for any lack of conformity resulting from the incorrect integration of the digital content or service into the consumer's digital environment, where this has been carried out by the trader or under his responsibility, or where the incorrect integration carried out by the consumer results from shortcomings in the instructions provided by the trader.

This warranty period applies without prejudice to articles 2224 et seq. of the French Civil Code. The starting point of the limitation period is the day on which the consumer becomes aware of the lack of conformity.


Article L224-25-13: The digital content or service conforms to the contract if it meets the following criteria, where applicable:
1° It corresponds to the description, type, quantity and quality, in particular as regards functionality, compatibility, interoperability or any other characteristic provided for in the contract; 2° It is fit for any special purpose intended by the consumer, made known to the professional at the latest at the time of conclusion of the contract, and accepted by the latter; 3° It is supplied with all accessories, including packaging, installation instructions and customer support, to be provided in accordance with the contract;
4° It is updated in accordance with the contract.


Article L224-25-16:

I.-Defects in conformity which appear within twelve months of the digital content or digital service being supplied are presumed to have existed at the time of supply, in the absence of proof to the contrary.
Where the contract provides for the continuous supply of the digital content or digital service over a given period, the burden of proof as to whether the digital content or digital service was in conformity during the contractual period of supply shall rest with the trader in the case of a lack of conformity appearing during that period.

II-The trader is not liable for lack of conformity if he demonstrates that the lack of conformity is directly attributable to the incompatibility between the digital content or service and the consumer's digital environment, and that the consumer had been informed by the trader of the technical compatibility requirements for this content or service prior to the conclusion of the contract.

The consumer is obliged to cooperate with the trader, as far as is reasonably possible, necessary and least intrusive for him, in order to determine whether the lack of conformity is caused by this incompatibility. Otherwise, the burden of proof referred to in the first or second paragraph of I of the present article lies with the consumer, provided that the consumer has been informed in a clear and comprehensible manner of his obligation to cooperate prior to the conclusion of the contract.


Art. 1641 of the French Civil Code: The seller is liable for any hidden defects in the item sold which render it unfit for its intended use, or which impair that use to such an extent that the buyer would not have purchased it, or would have paid a lower price for it, had he been aware of them.


Art. 1648 paragraph 1 of the French Civil Code: The action resulting from redhibitory defects must be brought by the purchaser within two years of discovery of the defect.

Article L224-25-24 Updates to digital content or services are governed by this subsection. For the purposes of this subsection, updates are defined as updates or modifications intended to maintain, adapt or evolve the functionalities of the digital content or service, including security updates, whether or not such updates are necessary to maintain the conformity of the digital content or service.


Article L224-25-25:

I.-The seller shall ensure that the consumer is informed of and receives any updates necessary to maintain the conformity of the digital content or service:

  1. During a period which the consumer can legitimately expect, given the type and purpose of the digital content or service and taking into account the circumstances and nature of the contract, in the case of a one-off supply operation or a series of separate supply operations;
  2. During the period during which the digital content or service is supplied under the contract, where the contract provides for continuous supply over a given period.

II - Where the consumer fails to install, within a reasonable time, updates provided by the trader in accordance with I, the trader is not liable for lack of conformity resulting solely from the failure to install the updates concerned, provided that :

  1. The seller has informed the consumer of the availability of the updates and of the consequences of their non-installation by the consumer; and
  2. The non-installation or incorrect installation of the updates by the consumer is not due to shortcomings in the installation instructions provided to the consumer.
