Yes, it is here (NL). Its European law. There are some exceptions: must not be damaged, hygiene related may not be returned, shipping costs are for customer. If its damaged, you wouldn't need 14 days. Its damaged, and one can expect a device like this to work longer than 14 days. IIRC it even counts for 2nd hand. Also, device must be proper dealt with; IOW if you toss your NIT on the street to have your dog pick it up then that doesn't fall under warranty.
There is also a mandatory 3 year warranty on electronic devices. Yes, that includes American corporations (Dell, Apple, etcetera) selling electronic devices in Europe. Yet, they try to sell you some 'protection plan' or 'warranty service' for '2' years or '2 additional years'. Well, they're SOL, because 1) you don't need that 2) you have 3 years warranty under EU law. So if the seller is based in EU, you are in good shape.
Incidentally, electronic devices are a tad more expensive in EU than in US, but perhaps you get what you pay for...
