If the SELLER fails to fulfill its obligation to deliver the goods or perform the service on the date or within the period indicated, or failing that within the legal period of 30 days, the BUYER may cancel the sale. This resolution of the sale, attributable to the SELLER, entails an obligation to reimburse and provides for a system of penalties in the event of excess. For more details, the SELLER is invited to refer to the Consumer Code and more particularly to Chapter VI: Delivery, supply and transfer of risk (Articles L216-1 to L216-8)
