The creation of a “customer account” is an indispensable prerequisite to any order of the customer on this site.

Article 8 – product warranty

Legal provisions to be reproduced


When acting as a legal guarantee of conformity, the consumer receives a period of two years from the issuance of the property to act; It may choose between the repair or replacement of the property, subject to the cost conditions laid down in article L. 217-9 of the consumer code; except for second-hand goods, it is exempt from proving the existence of the property’s lack of conformity during the six months following the issuance of the property, a period of 24 months from 18 March 2016.

The legal guarantee of conformity applies irrespective of the commercial guarantee which may be granted.

The consumer may decide to implement the guarantee against the hidden defects of the sold thing within the meaning of article 1641 of the civil code, unless the seller has stipulated that he will not be obliged to any guarantee; in the event of an implementation of this guarantee, the purchaser has the choice between the resolution of the sale or a reduction of the selling price in accordance with article 1644 of the civil code. It has a period of two years from the discovery of the defect.

The postponement, suspension or interruption of the prescription may not have the effect of bringing the limitation period extinctive beyond twenty years from the day of the birth of the law in accordance with article 2232 of the civil code.

All articles acquired on this site benefit from the following legal guarantees, provided for by the civil code.

Legal compliance guarantee

According to articles L. 217-4 et seq. of the consumer code, the seller is obliged to deliver a good in accordance with the contract concluded with the consumer customer and to respond to defects in conformity existing during the issuance of the product. The guarantee of conformity may be exercised if a defect is to exist on the day of taking possession of the product. However, where the defect occurred within 24 months of that date (or within 6 months if the order took place before March 18, 2016 or the product is sold second-hand), it is presumed to fulfil this condition. But, in accordance with article L. 217-7 of the consumer code, ” the seller may combat this presumption if it is incompatible with the nature of the [Product] or the lack of conformity invoked “.

On the other hand, after this period of 24 months (or 6 months if the order took place before March 18, 2016 or the product is sold second hand), it will be up to the customer to prove that the defect existed well at the time of taking possession of the product.

In accordance with article L. 217-9 of the consumer code: ” in the event of a defect in conformity the purchaser chooses between the repair and the replacement of the property. However, the seller may not proceed according to the choice of the purchaser if this choice entails a cost manifestly disproportionate to the other modality, given the value of the property or the magnitude of the defect. It is then obliged to proceed, unless it is impossible, according to the modality not chosen by the purchaser .

Legal warranty against latent defects

According to articles 1641 to 1649 of the civil code, the customer may request the exercise of the guarantee of latent defects if the defects presented did not appear during the purchase, were prior to the purchase (and therefore not result from the normal wear of the product by example), and are sufficiently serious (the defect must either render the product unfit for use to which it is intended, or diminish that use to such an extent that the purchaser would not have purchased the product or would not have bought it at such a price if he had known the the default).

Claims, requests for Exchange or reimbursement for a non-conforming product must be made by post or by mail to the addresses indicated in the legal notices of the site.

In case of non-conformity of a delivered product, it may be returned to the seller who will exchange it. In case of impossibility of exchange of the product (obsolete product, out of stock, etc.) the customer will be refunded by cheque or transfer of the amount of his order. The costs of the Exchange or refund procedure (in particular the return shipping costs of the product) are then borne by the seller.

Article 9 – customer service

The customer service of this site is accessible by e-mail to the following address: info@gwardians.com or by post to the address indicated in the legal notices.

Article 10 – liability

The seller Pimeeple cannot be held responsible for the breach of the contract concluded due to the occurrence of a force majeure event. Regarding the products purchased, the seller will not incur any liability for any consequential damages due to the present, loss of operation, loss of profit, damage or expense, which may arise.

The choice and purchase of a product or a service is placed under the sole responsibility of the customer. The total or partial impossibility of using the products in particular because of incompatibility of the material cannot give rise to any compensation, reimbursement or questioning of the seller’s liability, except in the case of a proven latent defect, non-conformity, defect or exercise of the right of withdrawal if applicable, i.e. If the customer is not a consumer customer and the contract passed to acquire the product or the service allows the withdrawal, according to article L 221-18 and following of the consumer code.

The customer expressly acknowledges the use of the site at its own risk and under its sole responsibility. The site provides the customer with information as an indication, with imperfections, errors, omissions, inaccuracies and other ambivalences that may exist. In any event, Pimeeple shall not be liable in any way for:

  • of any direct or indirect damage, in particular as regards loss of profits, loss of profit, losses of customers, data which may, inter alia, result from the use of the site, or to the contrary to the impossibility of its use;
  • malfunction, unavailability of access, misuse, improper configuration of the client’s computer, or use of a browser not used by the customer;
  • content of advertisements and other external links or sources accessible by customers from the site.

The photographs and visuals of the products presented on the site have no contractual character, therefore the seller’s liability cannot be incurred if the characteristics of the products differ from the visuals present on the site or if the latter are incorrect or incomplete.

Article 11 – intellectual property rights

Article 12 – Independances of clauses

If a provision of the GTC is found to be unlawful, void or for any other reason inapplicable, then that provision shall be deemed to be divisible by the GTC and shall not affect the validity and applicability of the remaining provisions.

These GTC supersede any prior or contemporaneous agreements written or oral. The GTC are not transferable, transferable or sublicensable by the customer himself.

A printed version of the GTC and all the notices given in electronic form may be requested in judicial or administrative proceedings relating to the GTC. The parties agree that all correspondence relating to these GTC must be written in the French language.

Article 13 – applicable law and mediation

These GTC are governed by and subject to French law.

Except as otherwise provided in public policy, any disputes that may arise in connection with the execution of these GTC may before any legal action be submitted to the Publisher of the site for an amicable settlement.

It is expressly recalled that the claims for amicable settlement do not suspend the deadlines for bringing legal proceedings. Unless otherwise provided, of public order, any legal action relating to the performance of these GTC shall be subject to the jurisdiction of the courts in the place of domicile of the defendant.

Consumer mediation

According to article L. 612-1 of the consumer code, it is recalled that ” every consumer has the right to use free of charge a consumer mediator for the amicable resolution of the dispute against a professional.” To this end, the trader guarantees the consumer the effective use of a consumer mediation system .

As such Gwardians proposes to its consumer customers, in the context of disputes which would not have resolved amicably, the mediation of a consumer mediator, whose contact details are as follows:

  • Mediator of the Medicys accredited Mediation Center
  • contact@medicys.fr
  • http://www.medicys.fr/index.php/consommateurs/

It is recalled that mediation is not obligatory but only proposed in order to resolve disputes by avoiding recourse to justice.
