In off-premises/distance contracts, the CRD requires the trader, who acts on behalf of another trader, to indicate also the identity and geographical address of that latter trader. Also online marketplaces, even where they are mere intermediaries and not ‘acting on behalf’ of another trader, must take steps to ensure that the consumer is duly informed about the identity of the actual trader offering the goods or services concerned, on the basis of the information provided by the trader itself. In fact, if the failure by the marketplace to inform about the identity of the actual trader creates the impression that the marketplace is the actual trader, this may result in the liability of the marketplace for the obligations of the trader.
