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

¹ Where an of­fer is made in the of­fer­ee’s ab­sence and no time lim­it for ac­cept­ance is set, it re­mains bind­ing on the of­fer­or un­til such time as he might ex­pect a reply sent duly and promptly to reach him.

² He may as­sume that his of­fer has been promptly re­ceived.

³ Where an ac­cept­ance sent duly and promptly is late in reach­ing the of­fer­or and he does not wish to be bound by his of­fer, he must im­me­di­ately in­form the of­fer­ee.
