§1.2.1 The notions of ‘seller or supplier’, ‘consumer’ and of ‘contracts concluded between a seller or supplier and a consumer’

As laid down in Article 1(1) UCTD, the UCTD applies to ‘contracts concluded between a seller or supplier and a consumer’. For a contract to be covered by the UCTD, it is necessary to establish that one party to the contract is a seller or supplier, as defined in Article 2(c), and the other party a consumer (24) within the meaning of Article 2(b). This is without prejudice to the fact that the Member States are not, a priori, prevented from extending the scope of the national rules transposing the UCTD also to other contracts, applying it, for instance, also to contracts concluded between two sellers or suppliers or between two consumers.
