| (b) | does not select the receiver of the transmission; and |
| (c) | does not select or modify the information contained in the transmission. |
2. The acts of transmission and of provision of access referred to in paragraph 1 shall include the automatic, intermediate and transient storage of the information transmitted in so far as this takes place for the sole purpose of carrying out the transmission in the communication network, and provided that the information is not stored for any period longer than is reasonably necessary for the transmission.
3. This Article shall not affect the possibility for a judicial or administrative authority, in accordance with a Member State’s legal system, to require the service provider to terminate or prevent an infringement.
Article 5

1. Where an information_society_service is provided that consists of the transmission in a communication network of information provided by a recipient_of_the_service, the service provider shall not be liable for the automatic, intermediate and temporary storage of that information, performed for the sole purpose of making more efficient or more secure the information's onward transmission to other recipients of the service upon their request, on condition that the provider:
| (a) | does not modify the information; |
| (b) | complies with conditions on access to the information; |
| (c) | complies with rules regarding the updating of the information, specified in a manner widely recognised and used by industry; |
| (d) | does not interfere with the lawful use of technology, widely recognised and used by industry, to obtain data on the use of the information; and |
| (e) | acts expeditiously to remove or to disable access to the information it has stored upon obtaining actual knowledge of the fact that the information at the initial source of the transmission has been removed from the network, or access to it has been disabled, or that a judicial or an administrative authority has ordered such removal or disablement. |
2. This Article shall not affect the possibility for a judicial or administrative authority, in accordance with a Member State’s legal system, to require the service provider to terminate or prevent an infringement.
Article 6
Hosting
1. Where an information_society_service is provided that consists of the storage of information provided by a recipient_of_the_service, the service provider shall not be liable for the information stored at the request of a recipient_of_the_service, on condition that the provider:
| (a) | does not have actual knowledge of illegal activity or illegal_content and, as regards claims for damages, is not aware of facts or circumstances from which the illegal activity or illegal_content is apparent; or |
| (b) | upon obtaining such knowledge or awareness, acts expeditiously to remove or to disable access to the illegal_content. |
2. Paragraph 1 shall not apply where the recipient_of_the_service is acting under the authority or the control of the provider.
3. Paragraph 1 shall not apply with respect to the liability under consumer protection law of online_platforms that allow consumers to conclude distance_contracts with traders, where such an online_platform presents the specific item of information or otherwise enables the specific transaction at issue in a way that would lead an average consumer to believe that the information, or the product or service that is the object of the transaction, is provided either by the online_platform itself or by a recipient_of_the_service who is acting under its authority or control.
4. This Article shall not affect the possibility for a judicial or administrative authority, in accordance with a Member State's legal system, to require the service provider to terminate or prevent an infringement.
