" Concerning the warranty against hidden defects, article 1641 of the French Civil Code states: "The seller is bound by the warranty for an item's latent defects that render it unfit for the use for which it was intended, or which diminish that use to such an extent that the buyer would not have bought the item or would have paid a lower price if it had been aware of them.
