I don't think that distinction legally matters (in Europe). Every product or service in Europe has to "ensure that your products meet the EU requirements to protect human and animal health, the environment and consumers rights." [1]. This means every consumer buying a product in Europe (from a European entitiy) can assume that the product or service is legal.
