Article L. 217-16 of the Consumer Code: When the buyer asks the seller, in the course of the commercial guarantee granted when purchasing or repairing a movable good, for a repair covered by the guarantee, any period of immobilization of at least seven days is added to the remaining duration of the guarantee.

Article 1641 of the Civil Code: The seller is bound by the guarantee of the hidden defects of the thing sold which make it unsuitable for the use for which it is intended, or which diminish this use so much that the buyer would not have acquired it, or would have paid only a lower price for it, if he had had knowledge of them.



Article 1648 of the Civil Code: The action resulting from redhibitory defects must be brought by the buyer within two years of the discovery of the defect.
