14.6. The merchant is obliged to arrange for the collection of the goods at its own expense within the period specified in paragraph 14.1 if, based on an off-premises contract, the goods were delivered to the consumer’s home at the time of contract conclusion and, due to the nature of the goods, it is not possible to return them by mail.
