STATUTORY WARRANTY OF CONFORMITY

Defective product within 2 years: the defect is presumed — the burden of proof is on the seller.

The statutory warranty of conformity (L217-3, L217-7) applies as of right. ClaimyGuard documents your case and drafts the claim, backed by the 5-year limitation period.

03You send it — a ready-to-send, documented, timestamped claim letter with your deadline highlighted.
