Appendix A
Article L217-4 du Code de la consommation:
Le vendeur livre un bien conforme au contrat et répond des défauts de conformité existant lors de la délivrance.
Il répond également des défauts de conformité résultant de l'emballage, des instructions de montage ou de l'installation lorsque celle-ci a été mise à sa charge par le contrat ou a été réalisée sous sa responsabilité.
Article L217-5 du Code de la consommation:
Le bien est conforme au contrat :
1° S'il est propre à l'usage habituellement attendu d'un bien semblable et, le cas échéant :
- s'il correspond à la description donnée par le vendeur et possède les qualités que celui-ci a présentées à l'acheteur sous forme d'échantillon ou de modèle ;
- s'il présente les qualités qu'un acheteur peut légitimement attendre eu égard aux déclarations publiques faites par le vendeur, par le producteur ou par son représentant, notamment dans la publicité ou l'étiquetage ;
2° Ou s'il présente les caractéristiques définies d'un commun accord par les parties ou est propre à tout usage spécial recherché par l'acheteur, porté à la connaissance du vendeur et que ce dernier a accepté.
Article L217-6 du Code de la consommation:
Le vendeur n'est pas tenu par les déclarations publiques du producteur ou de son représentant s'il est établi qu'il ne les connaissait pas et n'était légitimement pas en mesure de les connaître.
Article L217.7 du Code de la consommation:
Les défauts de conformité qui apparaissent dans un délai de vingt-quatre mois à partir de la délivrance du bien sont présumés exister au moment de la délivrance, sauf preuve contraire.
Pour les biens vendus d'occasion, ce délai est fixé à six mois.
Le vendeur peut combattre cette présomption si celle-ci n'est pas compatible avec la nature du bien ou le défaut de conformité invoqué.
Article L217.8 du Code de la consommation:
L'acheteur est en droit d'exiger la conformité du bien au contrat. Il ne peut cependant contester la conformité en invoquant un défaut qu'il connaissait ou ne pouvait ignorer lorsqu'il a contracté. Il en va de même lorsque le défaut a son origine dans les matériaux qu'il a lui-même fournis.
Article L217.9 du Code de la consommation:
En cas de défaut de conformité, l'acheteur choisit entre la réparation et le remplacement du bien.
Toutefois, le vendeur peut ne pas procéder selon le choix de l'acheteur si ce choix entraîne un coût manifestement disproportionné au regard de l'autre modalité, compte tenu de la valeur du bien ou de l'importance du défaut. Il est alors tenu de procéder, sauf impossibilité, selon la modalité non choisie par l'acheteur.
Article L217.10 du Code de la consommation:
Si la réparation et le remplacement du bien sont impossibles, l'acheteur peut rendre le bien et se faire restituer le prix ou garder le bien et se faire rendre une partie du prix.
La même faculté lui est ouverte :
1° Si la solution demandée, proposée ou convenue en application de l'article L. 217-9 ne peut être mise en œuvre dans le délai d'un mois suivant la réclamation de l'acheteur ;
2° Ou si cette solution ne peut l'être sans inconvénient majeur pour celui-ci compte tenu de la nature du bien et de l'usage qu'il recherche.
La résolution de la vente ne peut toutefois être prononcée si le défaut de conformité est mineur.
Article L217.11 du Code de la consommation:
L'application des dispositions des articles L. 217-9 et L. 217-10 a lieu sans aucun frais pour l'acheteur.
Ces mêmes dispositions ne font pas obstacle à l'allocation de dommages et intérêts.
Article L217.12 du Code de la consommation:
L'action résultant du défaut de conformité se prescrit par deux ans à compter de la délivrance du bien.
Article L217.13 du Code de la consommation:
Les dispositions de la présente section ne privent pas l'acheteur du droit d'exercer l'action résultant des vices rédhibitoires telle qu'elle résulte des articles 1641 à 1649 du code civil ou toute autre action de nature contractuelle ou extracontractuelle qui lui est reconnue par la loi.
Article L217.14 du Code de la consommation:
L'action récursoire peut être exercée par le vendeur final à l'encontre des vendeurs ou intermédiaires successifs et du producteur du bien meuble corporel, selon les principes du code civil.
Article 1641du Code civil :
Le vendeur est tenu de la garantie à raison des défauts cachés de la chose vendue qui la rendent impropre à l'usage auquel on la destine, ou qui diminuent tellement cet usage que l'acheteur ne l'aurait pas acquise, ou n'en aurait donné qu'un moindre prix, s'il les avait connus.

Le vendeur n'est pas tenu des vices apparents et dont l'acheteur a pu se convaincre lui-même.

Le vendeur d'un immeuble à construire ne peut être déchargé, ni avant la réception des travaux, ni avant l'expiration d'un délai d'un mois après la prise de possession par l'acquéreur, des vices de construction ou des défauts de conformité alors apparents.
Il n'y aura pas lieu à résolution du contrat ou à diminution du prix si le vendeur s'oblige à réparer.
Article 1643 du Code civil :
Il est tenu des vices cachés, quand même il ne les aurait pas connus, à moins que, dans ce cas, il n'ait stipulé qu'il ne sera obligé à aucune garantie.
Article 1644 du Code civil :
Dans le cas des articles 1641 et 1643, l'acheteur a le choix de rendre la chose et de se faire restituer le prix, ou de garder la chose et de se faire rendre une partie du prix.
Article 1645 du Code civil :
Si le vendeur connaissait les vices de la chose, il est tenu, outre la restitution du prix qu'il en a reçu, de tous les dommages et intérêts envers l'acheteur.
Article 1646 du Code civil :
Si le vendeur ignorait les vices de la chose, il ne sera tenu qu'à la restitution du prix, et à rembourser à l'acquéreur les frais occasionnés par la vente.
Article 1646-1 du Code civil :
Le vendeur d'un immeuble à construire est tenu, à compter de la réception des travaux, des obligations dont les architectes, entrepreneurs et autres personnes liées au maître de l'ouvrage par un contrat de louage d'ouvrage sont eux-mêmes tenus en application des articles 1792, 1792-1, 1792-2 et 1792-3 du présent code.
Ces garanties bénéficient aux propriétaires successifs de l'immeuble.
Il n'y aura pas lieu à résolution de la vente ou à diminution du prix si le vendeur s'oblige à réparer les dommages définis aux articles 1792, 1792-1 et 1792-2 du présent code et à assumer la garantie prévue à l'article 1792-3.
Article 1647 du Code civil :
Si la chose qui avait des vices a péri par suite de sa mauvaise qualité, la perte est pour le vendeur, qui sera tenu envers l'acheteur à la restitution du prix et aux autres dédommagements expliqués dans les deux articles précédents.
Mais la perte arrivée par cas fortuit sera pour le compte de l'acheteur.
Article 1648 du Code civil :
L'action résultant des vices rédhibitoires doit être intentée par l'acquéreur dans un délai de deux ans à compter de la découverte du vice.
Dans le cas prévu par l'article 1642-1, l'action doit être introduite, à peine de forclusion, dans l'année qui suit la date à laquelle le vendeur peut être déchargé des vices ou des défauts de conformité apparents.
Article 1649 du Code civil :
Elle n'a pas lieu dans les ventes faites par autorité de justice.
