Indication of essential characteristics of offered goods on Amazon order page

In electronic commerce, traders (in this specific case Amazon) are obliged, among other things, to provide consumers with the essential characteristics of the goods offered in a clear and comprehensible manner in a highlighted manner. These requirements are not met if the information can only be accessed via a link. Rather, the information must be located on the website on which the customer completes the order process. If the order is placed via a button, the information must be displayed in close proximity to the button for the order(OLG Munich, judgment of 31.01.2019 – 29 U 1582/18).
