Frequently asked questions
What are the deadlines to report a non-conformity?
They depend on the contract, the nature of the defect and the applicable warranties. A late notification can forfeit rights.
Can I refuse a non-conforming delivery?
Yes, under conditions, and the refusal must be formalised. We help you make opposable reservations.
What compensation for poorly executed work?
It covers the cost of remediation, loss of business and, where applicable, the loss suffered. We quantify and claim it.
What if my supplier disputes the defect?
A contradictory finding and solid evidence are decisive. We organise the finding and defend your position.
What is the difference between non-conformity and a hidden defect?
Non-conformity concerns goods or a service that do not match what was agreed (specifications, quantity, advertised quality). A hidden defect is a non-apparent flaw that makes the item unfit for its use. The regimes, deadlines and evidence differ. We qualify the defect precisely to choose the strongest basis.
Should I have the defect inspected by an expert?
An expert assessment is not always required, but a dated technical finding significantly strengthens your case, especially in the event of a dispute. Depending on the stakes, an amicable contradictory or a court-appointed expert assessment may be appropriate. We indicate the suitable means of evidence before the discussion or proceedings begin.
