(14) An off-premises contract should be defined as a contract concluded with the simultaneous physical presence of the trader and the consumer, away from business premises, for example at the consumer's home or workplace. In an off- premises context, consumers are under psychological pressure– i.e. non-commercial – context, consumers could be faced with an unexpected situation in the event of a commercial approach being made, no matter whether they have solicited the trader's visit or not. Furthermore, in order to prevent circumventions of rules when consumers are approached away from business premises, a contract negotiated, for example at the consumer's home but concluded in a shop should be regarded as an off-premises contract.

(23) The current varying lengths of the withdrawal periods both between the Member States and for distance and off- premises contracts cause legal uncertainty and compliance costs. The same withdrawal period should apply to all distance and off-premises contracts. In principle, the withdrawal period should end fourteen days after the contract is concluded. However, in the case of distance contracts for the sale of goods, the withdrawal period should end fourteen days after the consumer acquires the material possession of the goods.

(43a) Legislation and case-law in this area in the various Member States show that there is growing concern to ensure a high level of consumer protection. In the light of this trend and of the experience gained in implementing the previous directive (Directive 1994/44/EC), it may be appropriate to provide for the producer's direct liability for defects for which he is responsible.
