Chapter II.
Contracts.

Section I.
General Provisions.

Subsection I.
The Formation of a Contract.

521.

An offer to make a contract in which a time for acceptance is specified, cannot be withdrawn.

If the offerer does not receive notice of acceptance within the time specified, the offer loses its effect.

522.

If the notice of acceptance arrives only after the time specified, but it is apparent that it was sent in such time that in the ordinary course of things it ought to have arrived before, the offerer, unless he has already given notice of the delay, must immediately give notice to the other party of the delayed arrival.

If the offerer fails to give such notice, the notice of the acceptance is deemed not to have been delayed.

523.

The offerer may treat an acceptance which comes too late as a new offer.
