Article L224-25-28 of the French Consumer Code

Where the consumer asks the trader, during the period of the legal guarantee or the commercial guarantee granted to him at the time of the supply of digital content or a digital service, to bring the digital content or digital service into conformity with the contract covered by the guarantee, any period of immobilisation or unavailability of that content or service suspends the guarantee which remained in force until the digital content or digital service brought into conformity was supplied.

This period runs from the date of the consumer’s request for action or from the date on which the digital content or service in question is made available, if this starting point is more favourable to the consumer.
The guarantee period is also suspended where the consumer and the trader enter into negotiations with a view to an amicable settlement.

Article L224-25-28

Lorsque le consommateur demande au professionnel, pendant le cours de la garantie légale ou de la garantie commerciale qui lui a été consentie lors de la fourniture d’un contenu numérique ou d’un service numérique, une mise en conformité couverte par la garantie, toute période d’immobilisation ou d’indisponibilité de ce contenu ou service suspend la garantie qui restait à courir jusqu’à la fourniture du contenu numérique ou du service numérique remis en conformité.


Cette période court à compter de la demande d’intervention du consommateur ou de la mise à disposition du contenu numérique ou du service numérique en cause, si ce point de départ s’avère plus favorable au consommateur.


Le délai de garantie est également suspendu lorsque le consommateur et le professionnel entrent en négociation en vue d’un règlement à l’amiable.
