|
“The consumer has two years after an item is delivered to claim under the legal guarantee of conformity if a conformity issue appears. During this period, the consumer is only obliged to prove the conformity issue exists and not the date it appears.
Where the sales contract for an item involves the supply of digital content or a digital service on an ongoing basis for over two years, the legal guarantee applies to this digital content or service throughout the supply period specified.
During this period, the consumer only has to prove the existence of the conformity issue affecting the digital content or service and not the date it appears. The legal guarantee of conformity creates an obligation for the professional to supply, where relevant, all the updates needed to ensure the item continues to conform.
The legal guarantee of conformity gives the consumer the right to a repair or replacement for an item within thirty days of their request, free of charge and without significant inconvenience to themselves.
If the item is repaired under the legal guarantee of conformity, the consumer has a six-month extension on the initial guarantee.
If the consumer asks for the item to be repaired, but the seller forces them to accept a replacement, the legal guarantee of conformity is renewed for a period of two years after the date the item is replaced.
The consumer can obtain a reduction on the purchase price by keeping the item or end the contract by receiving a full refund for returning the item if:
1. The professional refuses to repair or replace the item;
2. The repair or replacement of the item happens after thirty days;
3. The repair or replacement of the item causes significant inconvenience to the consumer, such as if the latter has to cover return or collection costs for the nonconforming item, or must bear the cost of installing the repaired or replacement item;
4. The item’s nonconformity continues despite the seller’s attempt to make it conform.
The consumer also has the right to a price reduction for the item or to cancel the contract when the conformity issue is so serious that it justifies an immediate price reduction or contract cancellation. In this situation, the consumer is not required to ask for a repair or replacement of the item first.
The consumer does not have the right to cancel the sale if the conformity issue is minor.
Any period during which the item is unavailable to use because it is being repaired or replaced suspends the remaining guarantee until the reconditioned item is delivered. The rights mentioned above result from the application of Articles L. 217-1 to L. 217-32 of the French Consumer Code.
Any seller who in bad faith obstructs the application of the legal guarantee of conformity will incur a civil fine of a maximum of 300,000 euros, which may be increased to 10% of their average annual turnover (Article L. 241-5 of the French Consumer Code).
The consumer is also covered by the legal hidden defect guarantee as set out in Articles 1641 to 1649 of the French Civil Code for two years after a defect is discovered. This guarantee allows for a price reduction if the item is kept or for a full refund if the item is returned.”

Application of legal guarantees
- 1 or 2 photographs of the damaged/defective item;
- The order number for the online purchase;
- The model number and;
- The reference number of the damaged/defective item.
(Volcom reserves the right to reject any incomplete claims.)
If our Quality team conclude there is a defect, you will receive a refund for the total item cost. One of our representatives will tell you how to return the item. Once the item is received by Volcom, the refund will be issued to the payment method used when you ordered (card or PayPal).
GUARANTEE POLICY EXEMPTIONS
Volcom’s online services may deviate from the guarantee policy to apply it to the following exceptions:
- If a purchase is made outside the EU but the client currently resides in the EU;
- If the Volcom reseller is uncontactable;
- If the store is closed.
Please contact us by email: eu.service@volcom.com.
All our products are covered by the legal guarantee as long as use of them has been normal and upkeep advice has been followed.
EXTRACTS FROM THE FRENCH CONSUMER CODE AND CIVIL CODE:
Legal guarantee of conformity
They are liable for any conformity issues that exist when the item is delivered within the meaning of Article L. 216-1 that appear within two years of delivery.
Where the sales contract includes digital elements:
II.- However, the seller is not bound by the public statements mentioned in the previous section if they demonstrate:
For second-hand goods, the timeframe is twelve months.
Where the sales contract for an item including digital elements provides for the continuous supply of digital content or a digital service, any conformity issues that appear are deemed to have existed on delivery:
1. For two years after delivery of the item, where the contract provides for this supply for under two years or exactly two years, or the contract does not indicate how long the supply will continue;
For second-hand goods, the timeframe is twelve months.
Where the sales contract for an item including digital elements provides for the continuous supply of digital content or a digital service, any conformity issues that appear are deemed to have existed on delivery:
1. For two years after delivery of the item, where the contract provides for this supply for under two years or exactly two years, or the contract does not indicate how long the supply will continue;
Any refusal by the seller to accept the consumer’s choice or make the item conform must be given in writing or on a durable medium.
If the consumer agrees to a repair but this is not accepted by the seller, the provision of a replacement to achieve conformity triggers a new legal guarantee of conformity period for the replacement. This guarantee applies from the day the replacement item is delivered to the consumer.
This period runs from when the consumer requests the intervention or provides the relevant item for repair or replacement if the latter point is more favourable for the consumer.
The guarantee period is also suspended when the consumer and seller enter into negotiations with a view to coming to an amicable settlement.
Hidden defect guarantee
In the situation covered in Article 1642-1, action must be brought, or it will not be admissible, in the year following the date on which the seller is no longer liable for visible defects or conformity issues.
