Where the consumer asks the guarantor, during the term of the legal guarantee or the commercial guarantee granted to him on the purchase or repair of a good, for a repair covered by that guarantee, any period of immobilisation suspends the guarantee that was still running until the delivery of the repaired good.
This period runs from the time of the consumer’s request for action or from the time the good in question is made available for repair or replacement, if this starting point is more favourable to the consumer.
This period runs from the date of the consumer’s request for service or from the date the goods in question are made available for repair or replacement, if this starting point is more favourable to the consumer.
The guarantee period is also suspended when the consumer and the guarantor enter into negotiations with a view to an amicable settlement.
