Right of the consumer and user in case of lack of conformity of the goods

The trader shall be liable to the consumer or user for any lack of conformity that exists at the time of delivery of the goods, and the consumer or user may, by means of a simple declaration, demand that the trader remedy this lack of conformity, reduce the price or terminate the contract. In any of these cases, the consumer or user may also demand compensation for damages.  

Warranty period

The legal guarantee period for goods shall be 2 to 3 years from the time of delivery. In the case of second-hand properties, a shorter period may be agreed, but in no case may it be less than one year from the time of delivery.

In the absence of proof to the contrary, lack of conformity which becomes apparent within 2 years of delivery of the good shall be presumed to have existed when the good was delivered. Previously the period was 6 months. 

Warranty period for repairs

The employer shall be liable for the lack of conformity that motivated the conformity during the year following (previously the period was 6 months) the delivery of the good already in conformity, it being presumed that it is the same lack of conformity when the defects of the same origin as those initially manifested are reproduced.
