Federal Act
on the Amendment of the Swiss Civil Code
(Part Five: The Code of Obligations)

¹ Where the party act­ing un­der er­ror, fraud or duress neither de­clares to the oth­er party that he in­tends not to hon­our the con­tract nor seeks resti­tu­tion for the per­form­ance made with­in one year, the con­tract is deemed to have been rat­i­fied.

² The one-year peri­od runs from the time that the er­ror or the fraud was dis­covered or from the time that the duress ended.

³ The rat­i­fic­a­tion of a con­tract made void­able by duress or fraud does not auto­mat­ic­ally ex­clude the right to claim dam­ages.
