An ESPR intermediary-service actor whose online interface lets customers conclude distance contracts for covered products with economic operators.
Provider of an online marketplace is the ESPR intermediary-service actor whose online interface lets customers conclude distance contracts with economic operators for covered products. It is a marketplace channel role, not every product-compliance role.
ESPR uses this term for online marketplace interfaces that enable distance contracts for covered products. Use it as a sales-channel and information-flow term, while keeping it separate from manufacturer, importer, distributor, economic-operator, and DPP service-provider roles unless a specific source assigns those obligations.
Regulation (EU) 2024/1781 establishing a framework for the setting of ecodesign requirements for sustainable products
a provider of an intermediary service using an online interface which allows customers to conclude distance contracts with economic operators for the sale of products covered by delegated acts adopted pursuant to Article 4;
Reference: Article 2, point 54
Implementation records should capture the marketplace identifier, online-interface record, distance-contract flow, customer-facing offer, economic-operator link, product-information display, timing of display, and boundary from manufacturer, distributor, and DPP service-provider responsibilities.
Provider of an online marketplace is a marketplace-interface control: the evidence consequence is that online product-information display can be checked at the customer offer point without turning the marketplace into the manufacturer, economic operator, or passport service provider for every obligation; the marketplace is not the DPP service provider unless that separate role is actually performed.
