The creditor or credit intermediary shall provide the borrower with explanations enabling him to determine whether the proposed credit agreement is suited to his needs and financial situation, in particular on the basis of the information contained in the sheet referred to in Article L. 312-12. It draws the borrower’s attention to the essential characteristics of the loan or loans proposed and to the consequences that these loans may have on the borrower’s financial situation, including in the event of default. This information is given, where applicable, on the basis of the preferences expressed by the borrower.
Where the credit is offered at a point of sale, the creditor shall ensure that the borrower receives these explanations in a complete and appropriate manner at the point of sale itself, under conditions guaranteeing the confidentiality of the exchanges.
