4° If the non-conformity of the property persists despite the seller's unsuccessful attempt to bring it into conformity.
The consumer is also entitled to a reduction in the price of the goods or to rescission of the contract where the lack of conformity is so serious as to justify immediate reduction in the price or rescission of the contract.
