Filing
Communication filing, purchase orders and invoices are stored on Withings servers enabling both Parties to make a copy of all the elements for the conclusion of the Contract.
Specific measures to Withings Services’ offers with subscription
Certain Products and Services can be offered by Withings through a subscription. Such a subscription commits You for an initial contract period. The initial contract period is indicated in the order. If, You expressly ask us to perform the Service as soon as possible, You will lose your right of withdrawal once the Contract has been fully performed by us. By your subscription, You place a unique order that implies an obligation to pay the amount of money for the period of your subscription.
Unless You terminate your subscription according to the below terms, your subscription will be automatically renewed for an equal time period after expiration of the initial contract period. The renewal will be charged to the applicable price on the date of the renewed subscription. You will be informed of the automatic renewal by an email at the email address that You have indicated to us. This email will be forwarded at the earliest three (3) months and at the latest one (1) month before the expiration of the initial contract period. It will indicate in an apparent box the deadline for non-renewal.
After the initial contract period You can terminate electronically the Contract for the supply of Products and Services with subscription at your will, without prior notice. However, if the subscription concerns a Service on a specific period, the subscription month that has started prior to the date of termination should be paid in full except when the information on automatic renewal as provided for above has not been sent to You. In this case, You may terminate the subscription free of charge at any time after the renewal date. Advances made after the last renewal date or, in the case of open-ended subscriptions, after the date of conversion of the initial subscription to a fixed term, are in this case reimbursed within thirty (30) days from the date of termination, less the amounts corresponding, until that date, to the performance of the Services of the subscription. In the absence of reimbursement within this period, the sums shall bear interest at the legal rate.
The provisions of this Article are also applicable to subscriptions taken out between us and non-professional Buyers.
Delivery of the Products
Unless We have notified You otherwise, We will deliver the Products You have purchased within thirty (30) calendar days from the conclusion of the Contract and payment of the order.

- The Product has been delivered at the postal address You have notified us i.e. to You or to a third party designated by You ; or

Any claim relating to an error or defect in delivery must be made by You as soon as possible.
Unless otherwise specified by any mandatory legal provision, We have the right to charge You for the completion of a new shipment if any failure of delivery occurs for a reason for which Withings or the carrier We designated to make the delivery is not responsible.
You shall be entitled to terminate the Contract, if delivery is not carried out within thirty (30) calendar days from the order confirmation email reception and payment of your order, unless We have indicated in your order a deadline longer than thirty (30) days.
However, prior to such termination of Contract, You shall contact and require Withings to make the delivery within a reasonable additional period. If We fail to deliver the Product within that additional period of time, You shall be entitled to terminate the Contract by sending us a notification by registered letter with an acknowledgment of receipt or in writing on another durable medium. Unless We have carried out the delivery within the additional time indicated by You, the Contract shall be considered as terminated upon our receipt of the letter or written statement notifying us of your decision to terminate the Contract.
You may, however, immediately terminate the Contract if We fail to comply with the deadlines set forth above and delivery within the agreed delivery period is an essential condition for You under the law.
If the Contract is terminated according to the conditions specified above, We will reimburse You all payments received by us without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days following the date of termination of the Contract.

You have a period of thirty (30) days from receipt of the Product or the order of the Service to withdraw from your purchase.

Within the framework of the realization of Services, You can ask us for an immediate execution of the Services. If You exercise your right to withdraw from a Contract for the provision of services whose execution has begun, at your express request, before the end of the withdrawal period, You will have to pay the price corresponding to the Service provided until receipt of the communication of your decision to withdraw, in proportion to the total price of the Service for the initial period provided for in the Contract.
The Product or Service that has not been purchased via the Website cannot benefit from this right of withdrawal, the user being invited to contact his/her reseller.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, You must inform us of your decision to withdraw from the Contract by an unequivocal statement in which You clearly express your wish to withdraw (e.g. a letter sent by post or e-mail) or by sending the form attached below.

If You use this option, We will promptly send You an acknowledgement of receipt of the withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g., by e-mail).
The Product(s) and their accessories must be returned to the address provided to You by our customer support department. Upon receipt of the Product(s) and after verification of the same, We will reimburse You as soon as possible and at the latest within fourteen (14) days from the date on which We were informed of your decision to withdraw, the price of the Product(s) and the standard delivery charges (excluding charges for a delivery method that You would have chosen more expensive than the standard delivery method), excluding bank charges and excluding taxes and customs duties.

The Consumer will be informed and will receive the updates necessary to maintain the conformity of the Products and Services:

Withings shall be entitled to perform, at no additional cost to Buyer, updates that are not necessary to maintain the compliance of the Product or the Service, for reasons that Withings shall justify.
Regarding updates not necessary to maintain the conformity of the Product, Withings will inform the Buyer in advance, within a reasonable period of time, on a durable medium, of the planned update and the date on which it will take place.

- be of the description, type, quantity and quality, and possess the functionality, compatibility, interoperability and other features, as required by the Contract;

- be updated as stipulated by the Contract.
The legal guarantee of conformity of Withings Products is exercised according to the terms defined below:
- “The consumer has a period of two years from the delivery of the goods to obtain the implementation of the legal guarantee of conformity in the event of the occurrence of a lack of conformity. During this period, the consumer is only required to establish the existence of the lack of conformity and not the date of its occurrence. This period is extended to three years for consumers residing in Spain and Portugal.
- "When the contract of sale of the goods provides for the supply of digital content or a digital service continuously for a period of more than two years, the legal guarantee is applicable to this digital content or this digital service throughout the expected supply period. During this period, the consumer is only required to establish the existence of the lack of conformity affecting the digital content or the digital service and not the date of occurrence of the latter.
- “The legal guarantee of conformity entails an obligation for the trader, where applicable, to provide all the updates necessary to maintain the conformity of the good.
“The legal guarantee of conformity gives the consumer the right to repair or replace the goods within thirty days of his request, free of charge and without major inconvenience for him.
- “If the good is repaired under the legal guarantee of conformity, the consumer benefits from a six-month extension of the initial guarantee.
- “If the consumer requests the repair of the good, but the seller imposes the replacement, the legal guarantee of conformity is renewed for a period of two years from the date of replacement of the good.
- "The consumer can obtain a reduction in the purchase price by keeping the goods or terminate the contract by being reimbursed in full against return of the goods, if:
- “1° The trader refuses to repair or replace the good;
- “2° The repair or replacement of the goods takes place after a period of thirty days;
- "3° The repair or replacement of the good causes a major inconvenience for the consumer, in particular when the consumer bears the cost of taking back or removing the non-compliant good, or if he bears the cost of installing the repaired good or replacement;
- "4° The non-conformity of the good persists despite the seller's attempt to bring it into conformity which has remained unsuccessful.
- “The consumer is also entitled to a reduction in the price of the goods or to the termination of the contract when the lack of conformity is so serious as to justify immediate reduction in price or the termination of the contract. The consumer is then not required to request the repair or replacement of the good beforehand.
- “The consumer is not entitled to terminate the contract of sale if the lack of conformity is minor.
- “Any period of immobilization of the good for its repair or its replacement suspends the guarantee which remained to run until the delivery of the repaired good.
“The rights mentioned above result from the application of Articles L. 217-1 to L. 217-32 of the French Consumer Code.
- “A seller who, in bad faith, obstructs the implementation of the legal guarantee of conformity incurs a civil fine of a maximum amount of EUR 300,000, which may be increased up to 10% of the average annual turnover (article L. 241-5 of the French Consumer Code).
- “The consumer also benefits from the legal guarantee against hidden defects pursuant to Articles 1641 to 1649 of the French Civil Code, for a period of two years from the discovery of the defect. This warranty gives the right to a price reduction if the good is kept or to a full refund against return of the good. »

- "In cases where the lack of conformity is minor, the consumer is only entitled to the cancellation of the contract if the contract does not provide for the payment of a price.
- "Any period of unavailability of the digital content or digital service for the purpose of bringing it back into conformity suspends the guarantee that remained until the provision of the digital content or digital service in conformity again.

- "The trader who obstructs in bad faith the implementation of the legal guarantee of conformity is liable to a civil fine of up to EUR 300,000, which can be increased to 10% of the average annual turnover (Article L. 242-18-1 of the French Consumer Code).

Where the Contract provides that the digital content or the digital service is to be supplied on a continuous basis, Withings is liable for any lack of conformity which occurs or becomes apparent during the period of time in which it is to be supplied under the Contract according to the following terms:
- "The consumer is entitled to the implementation of the legal guarantee of conformity in the event of the occurrence of a lack of conformity during the period of supply of the service. During this period, the consumer is only required to establish the existence of the lack of conformity and not the date of its occurrence.
- "The legal guarantee of conformity entails the obligation to provide all the updates necessary to maintain the conformity of the digital content or service during the period during which the service is provided.
- "The legal guarantee of conformity entitles the consumer to have the digital content or service brought into conformity without undue delay following his request, without cost and without major inconvenience to him.
- "The consumer may obtain a reduction in the price by keeping the digital content or the digital service, or he may terminate the contract by obtaining a full refund against renunciation of the digital content or the digital service, if:
- " 1° The trader refuses to bring the digital content or digital service into conformity;
- " 2° The compliance of the digital content or service is unreasonably delayed;
- " 3° The digital content or digital service cannot be brought into conformity without imposing costs on the consumer;
" 4° The compliance of the digital content or service causes a major inconvenience to the consumer;
- "5° The non-conformity of the digital content or service persists despite the trader's unsuccessful attempt to bring it into conformity.
- "The consumer is also entitled to a reduction in the price or to terminate the contract when the lack of conformity is so serious as to justify immediate reduction in price or the termination of the contract. In such cases, the consumer is not required to request that the digital content or service be brought into conformity beforehand.
- "In cases where the lack of conformity is minor, the consumer is only entitled to terminate the contract if the contract does not provide for the payment of a price.
"Any period of unavailability of the digital content or digital service for the purpose of bringing it back into conformity suspends the warranty that remained until the provision of the digital content or digital service in conformity again.
- "These rights result from the application of Articles L. 224-25-1 to L. 224-25-31 of the French Consumer Code.
- "The trader who obstructs in bad faith the implementation of the legal guarantee of conformity is liable to a civil fine of up to EUR 300,000, which can be increased to 10% of the average annual turnover (Article L. 242-18-1 of the French Consumer Code).
- “The consumer also benefits from the legal guarantee of hidden defects pursuant to Articles 1641 to 1649 of the French Civil Code, for a period of two years from the discovery of the defect. This guarantee entitles the consumer to a price reduction if the digital content or service is retained, or to a full refund in exchange for renouncing the digital content or service."
In the event of termination of the Contract, the Consumer shall refrain from using the Service or making it available to third parties. Where the Service was supplied on a tangible medium, the Consumer shall, at our request and expense, return it without undue delay, at the latest within fourteen (14) days following the date on which the Consumer informed Withings of his/her decision to terminate the Contract.
Reimbursement of sums by Withings shall be carried out no later than fourteen (14) days from the day We are informed of your decision to invoke your right for a price reduction or termination of the Contract, using the same means of payment as the one used by the Consumer at the time of conclusion of the Contract, unless the Consumer expressly agrees otherwise and in any event at no additional cost.
We draw your attention to the fact that the legal guarantees do not cover (i) the use, handling or installation of the Product, in particular a use contrary to the use usually expected of the Product or which is not authorized in the user guide or recommendations published by Withings on the Product (for example, contact of a liquid with a Product not specifically designated as "waterproof"); (ii) storage or use of the Product in an inappropriate environment (excessive humidity or heat, poor power supply, etc.); (iii) damage caused by or as a result of an accident, disaster (flood, fire etc.), corrosion, or any other external cause; (iv) normal wear and tear of the Product; (v) battery life; (vi) Product accessories and consumables (including bracelet, batteries, charger, cables, etc.), unless they are the subject of the order; (vii) aesthetic damage including scuffs, scratches, scratches and dents; (viii) damage resulting from the use of a third party product with the Product, not specified as compatible with the Product.
If the examination of the returned Product reveals an exclusion of warranty, We will be able to propose You either to return the Product to You at your expenses and risks after preliminary payment of the expenses of return or the destruction of the Product.
Withings will not be liable for any lack of conformity directly attributable to the incompatibility between the Service and the Consumer's digital environment. You agree to cooperate with us to ascertain whether the cause of the lack of conformity of the digital content or digital service lay in the Consumer's digital environment. Failing this, the above presumption will not apply.
Commercial guarantee contract for Withings Products
The commercial guarantee is an extension of the period of the legal guarantee of conformity and is in addition to the legal guarantees. It is applicable, without prejudice to the right of Consumers to benefit from these legal guarantees, to certain Products sold through the Website or our Applications, for the duration and at the prices (except for commercial guarantees offered for free) indicated at the time the order is placed.

By using an Application, You may allow Withings, or any third party designated by Withings for such purpose, to store data collected when using a Product and/or an Application. You may not be able to access to your data at all times, as We cannot guarantee You that your data will be available forever after the discontinuation of the Product+ or of the Application. We therefore recommend You to frequently save your data though the means provided in the Application.
Force Majeure
Any event beyond the control of one of the Parties, which could not be reasonably foreseen at the time of the conclusion of the Contract and the effects of which cannot be avoided by appropriate measures, and which prevents the performance of its obligation by this Party constitutes an event of Force Majeure in accordance with Article 1218 of the French Civil Code.
If the impediment is temporary, performance of the obligation is suspended unless the resulting delay justifies termination of the Contract. If the impediment is final, the Contract will be terminated automatically and the Parties will be released from their obligations under the conditions provided for in Articles 1351 and 1351-1 of the French Civil Code.
Non waiver
Any failure to exercise or delay in exercising any right, power or privilege under the Contract shall not operate as a waiver; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege preclude any other further exercise thereof.

Any notification or communication between You and Withings can be realized by any electronic means of communication. Thus, You are fully informed and You accept that Withings may communicate information to You by any electronic and dematerialized means that can be directly or indirectly linked to your Withings account for digital health Products and Services.
