259In that regard, it should be noted that, as with other EU directives on consumer protection, the system of protection established by Directive 2008/48 is based on the idea that the consumer is in a weak position vis-à-vis the trader, as regards both his or her bargaining power and his or her level of knowledge, which leads to the consumer agreeing to terms drawn up in advance by the trader without being able to influence the content of those terms (see, to that effect, judgments of 4 June 2015, Faber, C‑497/13, EU:C:2015:357, paragraph 42 and the case-law cited, and of 21 April 2016, Radlinger and Radlingerová, C‑377/14, EU:C:2016:283, paragraph 63 and the case-law cited).
