General Condition of Use
Québec civil code:
1468. Le fabricant d’un bien meuble, même si ce bien est incorporé à un immeuble ou y est placé pour le service ou l’exploitation de celui-ci, est tenu de réparer le préjudice causé à un tiers par le défaut de sécurité du bien. Il en est de même pour la personne qui fait la distribution du bien sous son nom ou comme étant son bien et pour tout fournisseur du bien, qu’il soit grossiste ou détaillant, ou qu’il soit ou non l’importateur du bien.
1469. Il y a défaut de sécurité du bien lorsque, compte tenu de toutes les circonstances, le bien n’offre pas la sécurité à laquelle on est normalement en droit de s’attendre, notamment en raison d’un vice de conception ou de fabrication du bien, d’une mauvaise conservation ou présentation du bien ou, encore, de l’absence d’indications suffisantes quant aux risques et dangers qu’il comporte ou quant aux moyens de s’en prémunir.
1473. Le fabricant, distributeur ou fournisseur d’un bien meuble n’est pas tenu de réparer le préjudice causé par le défaut de sécurité de ce bien s’il prouve que la victime connaissait ou était en mesure de connaître le défaut du bien, ou qu’elle pouvait prévoir le préjudice. Il n’est pas tenu, non plus, de réparer le préjudice s’il prouve que le défaut ne pouvait être connu, compte tenu de l’état des connaissances, au moment où il a fabriqué, distribué ou fourni le bien et qu’il n’a pas été négligent dans son devoir d’information lorsqu’il a eu connaissance de l’existence de ce défaut.
Customer protection law, RLRQ, c. P-40.1
53. Le consommateur qui a contracté avec un commerçant a le droit d’exercer directement contre le commerçant ou contre le fabricant un recours fondé sur un vice caché du bien qui a fait l’objet du contrat, sauf si le consommateur pouvait déceler ce vice par un examen ordinaire. Il en est ainsi pour le défaut d’indications nécessaires à la protection de l’utilisateur contre un risque ou un danger dont il ne pouvait lui-même se rendre compte. Ni le commerçant, ni le fabricant ne peuvent alléguer le fait qu’ils ignoraient ce vice ou ce défaut. Le recours contre le fabricant peut être exercé par un consommateur acquéreur subséquent du bien.
