The consumer, informed in a clear and understandable manner before concluding the contract about the obligation to cooperate with the service provider, does not reasonably and using the least burdensome technical means, fulfill this obligation to determine whether the lack of conformity of digital content or digital services with the contract arises from the characteristics of the consumer's digital environment in a timely manner.
