The consumer’s express consent and acknowledgement can be acquired before, during, or after the contract is concluded, as long as it happens before performance starts. Article 7(2) and Article 8(7) of the CRD expressly require the confirmation of contract to include the confirmation of the consumer’s prior express consent and acknowledgment in accordance with point (m) of the first paragraph of Article 16. Therefore, where the consumer provides consent for immediate performance and acknowledgment after the trader has already sent confirmation of the contract, the trader must provide the consumer with a separate additional confirmation of that consent and acknowledgement before the performance starts.
