Plants by their nature they have a limited lifespan during which their features are preserved. In principle, the requirement for active intervention by someone (e.g. delivery company, consumer) in order to preserve their features renders such plants objectively different from other goods (textiles, electronic equipment etc.). Those other goods are not ‘liable to deteriorate or expire rapidly’ if they are stored in appropriate conditions and the consumer is merely required to refrain from exposing them to abnormal conditions before sending them back, in order to avoid the liability implied by Article 14(2).
