Article L. 121-21-4 of the Code de la Consommation :

"When the right of withdrawal is exercised, the professional is required to reimburse the consumer for all sums paid, including delivery costs, without undue delay and no later than fourteen days from the date on which they are informed of the consumer's decision to withdraw.

For contracts involving the sale of goods , unless the professional offers to collect the goods themselves, they may defer the refund until the goods are recovered or until the consumer has provided proof of shipment of the goods, whichever occurs first."

Article L127-6 of the Code de la Consommation :

"The seller is not bound by the public statements made by the manufacturer or their representative if it is established that they were not aware of them and could not reasonably have been aware of them."

Article L127-7 of the Code de la Consommation :

"Non-compliance defects that appear within a period of twenty-four months from the delivery of the goods are presumed to have existed at the time of delivery, unless proven otherwise. For second-hand goods, this period is set at six months. The seller may challenge this presumption if it is not compatible with the nature of the goods or the alleged non-compliance."

Article L127-8 of the Code de la Consommation :

"The buyer is entitled to demand that the goods conform to the contract. However, they cannot contest the conformity by invoking a defect they were aware of or could not have been unaware of at the time of contracting. The same applies when the defect originates from the materials they themselves provided."

Article L127-9 of the Code de la Consommation :

"In the event of non-compliance, the buyer may choose between repairing or replacing the goods. However, the seller may not proceed according to the buyer's choice if that choice entails a cost that is clearly disproportionate to the other option, given the value of the goods or the significance of the defect. In such a case, the seller must proceed, unless impossible, according to the option not chosen by the buyer."

Article L127-10 of the Code de la Consommation :

"If repair and replacement of the goods are impossible, the buyer may return the goods and be reimbursed the price or keep the goods and be refunded part of the price. The same option is available to them:
1. If the requested, proposed, or agreed-upon solution under Article L. 217-9 cannot be implemented within one month following the buyer's claim,
2. Or if this solution cannot be implemented without major inconvenience for the buyer considering the nature of the goods and the intended use. However, the resolution of the sale may not be pronounced if the non-compliance defect is minor."

Article L127-11 of the Code de la Consommation :

"The application of the provisions of Articles L. 217-9 and L. 217-10 shall be at no cost to the buyer. These same provisions shall not preclude the awarding of damages and interest."

1. If it is suitable for the purpose usually associated with such a good and, if applicable:
- if it corresponds to the description given by the seller and possesses the qualities that the seller has presented to the buyer in the form of a sample or model;
- if it has the qualities that a buyer can legitimately expect in view of the public statements made by the seller, the producer, or their representative, particularly in advertising or labeling.
2. Or if it has the characteristics defined by mutual agreement between the parties or is suitable for any special use sought by the buyer, brought to the seller's attention and accepted by the latter."

Article L221-18 of the Code de la Consommation :

The period mentioned in the first paragraph shall run from:
1. The day the contract is concluded, for service contracts and those mentioned in Article L221-4;
2. The day on which the consumer or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by the consumer acquires physical possession of the goods, for sales contracts. In the case of a contract that covers multiple goods ordered by the consumer in one order and delivered separately or in the case of a contract for the delivery of goods consisting of multiple lots or pieces over a defined period, the period shall run from the day on which the consumer or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by the consumer acquires physical possession of the last good or lot or the last piece."

Article L612-1 of the Code de la Consommation :

"Any consumer has the right to resort, free of charge, to a consumer mediator for the amicable resolution of a dispute with a professional. To this end, the professional guarantees the consumer effective recourse to a consumer mediation system.
The professional may establish their own consumer mediation system or propose to the consumer the use of any other consumer mediator that meets the requirements of this Title.
Where a consumer mediator has jurisdiction over all companies operating within an economic sector to which it pertains, the professional shall always enable the consumer to have recourse to that mediator.
The procedures for implementing the mediation process shall be specified by decree in the Council of State."

Article L122-4 of the Code de la Propriété Intellectuelle :

"Any total or partial representation or reproduction made without the consent of the author or their successors in title is unlawful. The same shall apply to translation, adaptation, or transformation, arrangement or reproduction by any art or process."

Article 1218 of the Code Civil :

"Force majeure releases the debtor from liability for failure to perform their obligation, provided that they prove that the non-performance was due to an external event beyond their control, that could not have been reasonably foreseen at the time of the conclusion of the contract, and the effects of which could not have been avoided by appropriate measures.
If the impediment is temporary, performance of the obligation is suspended unless the resulting delay justifies termination of the contract. If the impediment is permanent, the contract is automatically terminated and the parties are released from their obligations in accordance with Articles 1351 and 1351-1."
