Sellers are liable for any lack of conformity

What to do

if you receive non-conforming goods:
1 Contact the seller as soon as possible to report the issue;
2 Provide proof of purchase, such as a receipt, invoice, or bank statement.
Sellers and producers may also offer commercial
guarantees, which apply independently from the legal
guarantee. For example, you may see this GARAN label
representing a commercial guarantee of durability
offered by the producer at no additional cost and
covering the entire good.
