In accordance with the French Consumer Code, the provisions of Articles L. 224-25-12, L. 224-25-13, L. 224-25-14, L. 224-25-15 et L. 224-25-16 of the Consumer Code as well as Article 1641 and the first paragraph of Article 1648 of the French Civil Code are reproduced in full below

Article L. 224-25-12 of the Consumer Code:
"The trader shall provide digital content or a digital service that complies with the contract and the criteria set out in Article L. 224-25-14.
Where the contract provides for a one-off supply of the digital content or service, or a series of separate supply operations, the trader shall be liable for any lack of conformity existing at the time of the supply and which appears within two years of the supply.
Where the contract provides for the digital content or digital service to be supplied on a continuous basis, the trader shall be liable for lack of conformity which becomes apparent during the period in which the digital content or digital service is supplied under the contract.
The applicable period does not deprive the consumer of his right to updates in accordance with the provisions of Article L. 224-25-25.
The trader is also liable, within the same time limits, for lack of conformity resulting from the incorrect integration of the digital content or service into the consumer's digital environment where this has been done by the trader or under his responsibility, or where the incorrect integration done by the consumer results from shortcomings in the instructions provided by the trader.
This warranty period applies without prejudice to Articles 2224 and following of the Civil Code. The starting point of the limitation period for the consumer's action is the day on which the consumer becomes aware of the lack of conformity.”

Article L. 224-25-13 of Consumer Code:
"The digital content or digital service conforms to the contract if it meets, in particular, where applicable, the following criteria:
1° It corresponds to the description, type, quantity and quality, in particular as regards functionality, compatibility, interoperability, or any other characteristic provided for in the contract ;
2° It is fit for any special purpose sought by the consumer, made known to the trader at the latest at the time of the conclusion of the contract and accepted by the latter;
3° It is supplied with all the accessories, including packaging, installation instructions and customer support, to be provided in accordance with the contract;
(4) It is updated in accordance with the contract."

Article L. 224-25-14 of Consumer Code:
"I.-In addition to the compliance criteria set out in the contract, the digital content or service is compliant if it meets the following criteria:
1° It is fit for the purpose normally expected of digital content or a digital service of the same type, taking into account, where appropriate, any provisions of European Union law and national law as well as any technical standards, or in the absence of such technical standards, specific codes of conduct applicable to the sector concerned;
2° Where appropriate, it has the qualities which the trader has presented to the consumer in the form of a trial version or preview before the conclusion of the contract;
3. It shall be supplied in the most recent version available at the time of conclusion of the contract, unless the parties agree otherwise;
4° In the case of continuous provision of digital content or a digital service during a given period, it is provided without interruption throughout that period;
5. Where applicable, it is provided with all the accessories and installation instructions and customer support that the consumer may reasonably expect;
6° Where applicable, it is provided with the updates that the consumer can legitimately expect, in accordance with the provisions of Article L. 224-25-25 ;
7° It corresponds to the quantity, quality and other characteristics, including in terms of functionality, compatibility, accessibility, continuity and security, that the consumer can legitimately expect for digital content or digital services of the same type, taking into account the nature of these contents or services as well as public statements made by the professional, by any person upstream in the chain of transactions, or by a person acting on their behalf, including in advertising or on labelling
II - However, the professional is not bound by any public statements mentioned in the last paragraph of I if he demonstrates:
1° That he did not know them and was not legitimately in a position to know them;
2° that at the time the contract was entered into, the public statements had been corrected under conditions comparable to the initial statements; or
(3) that the public statements could not have influenced the decision to contract.

III.-The consumer may not contest compliance by invoking a defect concerning one or more particular characteristics of the digital content or digital service, which he was specifically informed deviated from the criteria for compliance set forth in this article, deviation to which he expressly and separately consented at the time of the conclusion of the contract."

Article L. 224-25-15 of Consumer Code:
"Where, on the occasion of the contract, processing of personal data is carried out by the professional, a failure on his part to comply with his obligations under Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of 27 April 2016 and Law No. 78-17 of 6 January 1978 on information technology, files and freedoms, where such failure results in non-compliance with one or more of the compliance criteria set out in this section, shall be treated as a failure to comply, without prejudice to other remedies provided for by these texts."

Article L. 224-25-16 of Consumer Code:
"I.-Defects in conformity which appear within twelve months of the supply of the digital content or digital service shall be presumed to have existed at the time of that supply, in the absence of proof to the contrary. Where the contract provides for the continuous supply of the digital content or digital service during a given period, the burden of proof as to whether the digital content or digital service was in conformity during the contractual period of supply shall lie with the trader in the case of a lack of conformity appearing during that period. The trader shall not be liable for the lack of conformity if he demonstrates that the lack of conformity is directly attributable to the incompatibility between the digital content or service and the consumer's digital environment and that the consumer had been informed by the trader of the technical requirements for the compatibility of that content or service before the contract was concluded.
The consumer is obliged to cooperate with the trader, to the extent reasonably possible, necessary and least intrusive for him, in order to determine whether the lack of conformity is caused by that incompatibility. Otherwise, the burden of proof referred to in the first or second paragraph of I of this Article, shall lie with the consumer provided that the consumer has been informed in a clear and comprehensible manner of his obligation to cooperate before the conclusion of the contract."

Article 1641 of the French Civil Code:
"The seller is bound by the warranty for hidden defects in the thing sold which make it unfit for the use for which it was intended, or which so diminish this use that the buyer would not have acquired it, or would have given only a lower price, if he had known about them."

Article 1648 paragraph 1 of the French Civil Code:
"The action resulting from prohibitive defects must be brought by the purchaser within two years of the discovery of the defect."
