Italian term or phrase: qualificazione soggettiva
From a text for law students on standard trade terms:

Al riguardo, è appena il caso di osservare che - per quanto attiene alla clausola sub a.) – essa sarebbe in ogni caso nulla secondo l’ordinamento italiano, indipendentemente dalla **qualificazione soggettiva** di consumatore del contraente, posto che non sono ammissibili esoneri o limitazioni di responsabilità contrarie all’ordine pubblico (cfr. art. 1229 CC), quali sono – appunto – limitazioni di responsabilità relativamente a lesioni all’integrità della persona.


Many thanks.

(notion of) consumer acquis


Explanation:
The notion of 'Consumer' is very ample in the EU

In this link you will find the Italian laws referring to it

"In questo senso, si comprende come la definizione di consumatore utilizzata nei diversi ordinamenti degli Stati Membri dell’Unione Europea non sia univoca e costante. Volendo esemplificare, è possibile rinvenire Paesi, come la Francia, che hanno preferito non fornire alcuna definizione normativa, lasciando alla giurisprudenza il compito di delinearne i tratti essenziali, e Paesi, come l’Austria, in cui la definizione di consumatore è estremamente dettagliata e la sua applicazione giurisprudenziale altrettanto rigida."

"Si rinviene, in questa prospettiva, una variabilità talmente rilevante della nozione di consumatore che non risulta possibile delinearne una categoria generale, se non in termini descrittivi. Ciò in quanto nella figura del consumatore non si riscontra l’elemento che qualifica lo status, ossia l’appartenenza istituzionale di un soggetto ad una collettività più o meno estesa. La definizione di consumatore vale piuttosto ad individuare, in termini soggettivi, l’atto di consumo ovvero il negozio posto in essere per finalità prevalentemente personali, ossia non professionali (BENEDETTI)."

You will find many explanations also in this II link (with a EU standpoint).

[..] Thus, as evidenced above, the definitions of consumer as provided in EU legislation do not completely overlap as far as their content is concerned. Nevertheless, having analysed the notion of consumer in the current EU consumer acquis it can be said that most instruments describe a consumer as sharing two central characteristics:

(a) a consumer is a natural person, and

(b) in concluding a contract he is acting for purposes which are outside his commercial or professional activities. *8

[..] In October 2008, in the framework of revising the consumer acquis the Commission tabled a proposal for a directive on consumer rights. *28 The European Parliament adopted the new directive on 23 June 2011. The new directive, in whose drafting the standpoints that had evolved during the drafting of the Draft Common Frame of Reference *29 (hereinafter referred to as the DCFR) were taken into account, combines into one whole two previous EU directives. *30 The goal is to enhance consumers’ trust and curb the bureaucracy which has hindered companies’ activities in other EU Member States, thus stripping the consumers of the freedom of choice and competing offers. In legal literature the new directive has already been seen as a suitable foundation for a future European code of consumer rights (contracts). *31 The consumer rights directive uses for the first time in the EU consumer acquis a uniform general notion of a consumer applicable to all of the consumer contracts covered by the framework directive. [..]

[..]As already said, this applies to most of the legislative acts. The package travel directive *9 is exceptional among the other directives in that in Article 2 (4) it defines consumer as a person ‘who takes or agrees to take the package (‘the principal contractor’), or any person on whose behalf the principal contractor agrees to purchase the package (‘the other beneficiaries’) or any person to whom the principal contractor or any of the other beneficiaries transfers the package (‘the transferee’)’. Though said directive includes a definition of consumer, as do other directives regulating the area of contract law, it is clearly different from the other directives in that the notion of consumer covers not just natural persons but all other buyers of package travel, including persons who conclude a package travel contract inside their commercial or professional activities. *10 [..]
