granted, if any, on the Products.
In its constant quest for

difference shall not be deemed to constitute a non-conformity.

for hidden defects in the Product sold that render it unfit for the use for
which it was intended, or that diminish this use so much that the Customer
would not have acquired it, or would have given a lower price for it if they
had known about them. (Article 1641 of the Civil Code).
This guarantee allows a Customer who
can prove the existence of a hidden defect to choose between the reimbursement
of the price of the Product, if it is returned, and the reimbursement of part
of its price, if the Product is not returned.
