30The fact that those terms do or do not relate to the main subject matter of that contract is irrelevant in that regard. In order for the consumer to be able, in accordance with the objective pursued by that requirement of transparency, to decide in full knowledge of the facts whether he or she wishes to be bound by the terms drawn up in advance by the seller or supplier, he or she must necessarily, before making such a decision, have been able to become acquainted with the contract as a whole, since it is the terms of that contract taken as a whole that will determine, inter alia, the rights and obligations of the consumer under that contract. The Court has, moreover, already clarified that that requirement of transparency also applies where a term relates to the main subject matter of the contract (see, to that effect, judgment of 3 March 2020, Gómez del Mortal Guasch, C‑125/18, EU:C:2020:138, paragraphs 46 and 47 and the case-law cited).
