Quai des Célestins is only obliged to deliver Products that comply with the contractual provisions. The Products are considered to be in conformity with the contractual provisions if the following conditions are met: (i) they must be in conformity with the description and possess the characteristics set out on the Site; (ii) they must be suitable for the purposes for which products of this type are generally designed; (iii) they must meet the quality and resistance criteria that are generally accepted for products of the same type and that can reasonably be expected.

In addition, Quai des Célestins guarantees consumers against defects in conformity and hidden defects for the Products on sale on the Site under the following conditions:

Apparent defect - Warranty - Legal conformity - Hidden defects

The presence of an apparent defect on a Product must give rise to a complaint by e-mail ([email protected]).

The Customer must comply with the procedure relating to the right of withdrawal by informing Quai des Célestins in advance by all means of the existence of this apparent defect, so that the return can be accepted.

Subject to the validation of a non-conformity or a defect by Quai des Célestins or the manufacturer as the case may be, the Customer benefits from the following guarantees:

Quai des Célestins, whose registered office is located at 207 rue du Faubourg Saint-Martin - 75010 Paris, France, acts as guarantor in accordance with the provisions of articles L 217-5 et seq. of the French Consumer Code and 1641 et seq. of the French Civil Code.

Thus the Client :

  • shall have a period of two (2) years from the delivery of the Product to take action for lack of conformity of the Product,
  • is exempted from proving the existence of the lack of conformity of the goods during the six (6) months following the delivery of the Product,
  • may choose between repairing or replacing the Product, subject to the cost conditions set out in Article L217-9 of the Consumer Code;

The legal guarantee of conformity applies independently of the commercial guarantee described below.

In addition, the Customer may also invoke the legal guarantee for hidden defects in the item sold, as defined in Articles 1641 et seq. of the Civil Code. The legal guarantee for hidden defects allows the Customer, within a period of two years from the discovery of the defect, to be reimbursed for a Product that has proved to be unfit for its purpose.

The warranty for hidden defects allows the Customer to be protected against hidden defects in the purchased Product which prevent its use or affect it to such an extent that the Customer would not have purchased it.

The Customer then has the choice between two options: to keep the Product and ask for a reduction of the price, or to return the Product and ask for a refund of the price paid, in accordance with Article 1644 of the Civil Code.

  In order to implement these guarantees, the Product must be returned, in its original packaging, in its original condition, new, unworn, unwashed, with the references of the initial Order and a copy of the complaint to the registered office of Benda Bili, after sending an e-mail indicating the reason for the return of the Product.

For all purposes, the following legal provisions are recalled:

Art. L217-4 of the French Consumer Code: "The seller delivers goods in conformity with the contract and is liable for any defects in conformity existing at the time of delivery.

Art. L217-5 of the Consumer Code: "The goods are in conformity with the contract: 1° If it is fit for the purpose usually expected of similar goods and, where applicable (a) if it corresponds to the description given by the seller and has the qualities that the seller presented to the buyer in the form of a sample or model ;(b) if it has the qualities that a buyer may legitimately expect in view of the public statements made by the seller, by the producer or by his representative, in particular in advertising or labelling; 2° Or if it has the characteristics defined by mutual agreement between the parties or is fit for any special purpose sought by the buyer, brought to the seller's attention and accepted by the latter "

Art. L217-7 of the Consumer Code: "Conformity defects that appear within a period of twenty-four months from the delivery of the goods are presumed to exist at the time of delivery, unless proven otherwise.

Art. L217-8 of the Consumer Code: "The buyer is entitled to demand that the goods conform to the contract. However, he may not contest the conformity by invoking a defect that he knew or could not have been unaware of when he contracted. The same applies when the defect originates in materials that he himself supplied.

Art. L217-9 of the Consumer Code: "In the event of a lack of conformity, the buyer shall choose between repairing or replacing the goods. However, the seller may not proceed according to the buyer's choice if this choice entails a cost that is clearly disproportionate to the other method, taking into account the value of the goods or the importance of the defect. In such a case, the seller shall be obliged to proceed, unless this is impossible, according to the method not chosen by the buyer.

Art. L217-10 of the Consumer Code: "If the repair and replacement of the goods are impossible, the buyer may return the goods and have the price returned or keep the goods and have part of the price returned. The same option is open to him: 1° If the solution requested, proposed or agreed upon in application of article L. 217-9 cannot be implemented within a period of one month following the buyer's complaint; 2° Or if this solution cannot be implemented without major inconvenience for the buyer, given the nature of the good and the use he is seeking. However, the sale may not be cancelled if the lack of conformity is minor.

Art. L217-11 of the Consumer Code: "The application of the provisions of Articles L. 217-9 and L. 217-10 shall be without cost to the buyer. These same provisions do not prevent the award of damages.

Art. L217-12 of the Consumer Code: "The action resulting from the lack of conformity is prescribed by two years from the delivery of the goods.

Art. L217-13 of the Consumer Code: "The provisions of this section do not deprive the buyer of the right to exercise the action resulting from redhibitory defects as set out in Articles 1641 to 1649 of the Civil Code or any other action of a contractual or extra-contractual nature recognised by the law.

Art. 1641 of the Civil Code: "The seller is bound by the warranty for hidden defects in the thing sold which make it unfit for the purpose for which it was intended, or which so diminish that purpose that the buyer would not have acquired it, or would have given only a lower price for it, if he had known of them.

Art.1642 of the Civil Code: "The seller is not liable for apparent defects of which the buyer has been able to convince himself.

Art. 1643 of the Civil Code: "He is liable for hidden defects, even if he did not know about them, unless, in this case, he has stipulated that he will not be obliged to provide any guarantee.

Art. 1644 of the Civil Code: "In the case of articles 1641 and 1643, the buyer has the choice of returning the thing and having the price returned, or keeping the thing and having part of the price returned.

Art. 1646 of the Civil Code: "If the seller was unaware of the defects of the thing, he shall only be liable to refund the price, and to reimburse the buyer for the expenses incurred by the sale.

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

Force Majeure

In the event of the occurrence of an event of force majeure preventing the execution of these GTC, Quai des Célestins shall inform the Customer within fifteen (15) days of the occurrence of this event, by e-mail or by registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt.

If the force majeure event continues for more than three (3) months, the transaction concerned may be terminated at the request of Quai des Célestins or the Client without compensation on either side.
