Article 1118 of the French Civil Code

Acceptance is a manifestation of the offeror’s intention to be bound by the terms of the offer.

As long as the acceptance has not reached the offeror, it may be freely retracted, provided that the retraction reaches the offeror before the acceptance.

An acceptance which does not conform to the offer is devoid of effect, unless it constitutes a new offer.

Original in French 🇫🇷
Article 1118

L’acceptation est la manifestation de volonté de son auteur d’être lié dans les termes de l’offre.

Tant que l’acceptation n’est pas parvenue à l’offrant, elle peut être librement rétractée, pourvu que la rétractation parvienne à l’offrant avant l’acceptation.

L’acceptation non conforme à l’offre est dépourvue d’effet, sauf à constituer une offre nouvelle.
