|
(a) |
always, where the consumer, during the courier’s visit, is unable freely to take cognisance of the content of the standard-form contract; |
|
(b) |
only where the consumer has not previously and individually received all standard forms (for example, at his e-mail address or home address), even if he himself had the opportunity, prior to the courier’s visit, to take cognisance of their content on the trader’s website; |
|
(c) |
only if additional findings were to point to unfair actions on the part of the trader, or on his behalf, for the purpose of restricting the consumer’s decision-making freedom in regard to the business decision which he has to make? |
