2) The website operator uses unfair commercial practices (e.g. falsely stating that a product or service will only be offered for a limited period of time or that will only be offered for a limited period of time under certain conditions in order to induce the consumer to make an immediate decision without giving him/her a reasonable period of time to make an informed decision).

7) Although it is not possible to order the product on the website, the consumer is redirected to the website , where the product can be purchased by clicking on the banner “Special offer” or interactive text “Click here to get top-up funding”.
