35Referring, inter alia, to the definition of ‘durable medium’ in Article 3(m) of Directive 2008/48, the Court has held that that medium must enable the consumer, in a similar way to paper form, to be in possession of the relevant information to enable him to exercise his rights, where necessary. What is relevant for the consumer is that he should be able to store the information which has been addressed to him personally, to rest assured that its content will not be altered, that the information will be accessible for an adequate period and that it will be possible to reproduce it unchanged (see, to that effect, as regards Directive 97/7/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 20 May 1997 on the protection of consumers in respect of distance contracts (OJ 1997 L 144, p. 19), judgment of 5 July 2012, Content Services, C‑49/11, EU:C:2012:419, paragraphs 42 to 44).
