(60) See for example Case C-191/15, Verein für Konsumenteninformation v Amazon, para. 65-71 and point 2 of the operative part, where the Court ruled that a pre-formulated term on the choice of the applicable law designating the law of the Member State in which the seller or supplier is established does not comply with the requirement of being drafted in plain and intelligible language set out in Article 5 of the UCTD and is unfair in so far as it leads the consumer into error by giving him the impression that only the law of that Member State applies to the contract, without informing him that under Article 6(2) of the Rome I Regulation consumers also enjoy the protection of the mandatory provisions of the law that would be applicable in the absence of that term.
