Article L121-8 of the French Consumer Code

It is prohibited to abuse a person’s weakness or ignorance in order to induce them, by means of home visits, to enter into commitments in cash or on credit in any form whatsoever, where the circumstances show that the person was not in a position to appreciate the scope of the commitments they were entering into or to detect the tricks or devices used to persuade them to enter into them, or show that they were subjected to coercion.

Original in French 🇫🇷
Article L121-8


Est interdit le fait d’abuser de la faiblesse ou de l’ignorance d’une personne pour lui faire souscrire, par le moyen de visites à domicile, des engagements au comptant ou à crédit sous quelque forme que ce soit, lorsque les circonstances montrent que cette personne n’était pas en mesure d’apprécier la portée des engagements qu’elle prenait ou de déceler les ruses ou artifices déployés pour la convaincre à y souscrire ou font apparaître qu’elle a été soumise à une contrainte.
