Acceptance is written on the bill of exchange. It is expressed by the word “accepted” or any other equivalent word and is signed by the drawee. The mere signature of the drawee affixed to the face of the bill shall constitute acceptance.
When the bill is payable at a certain sight period or when it must be presented for acceptance within a specified period by virtue of a special stipulation, the acceptance must be dated the day on which it was given, unless the bearer requires it to be dated the day of presentation. In the absence of a date, the bearer, in order to preserve his rights of recourse against the endorsers and against the drawer, shall cause this omission to be established by a protest drawn up in due time.
Acceptance is pure and simple, but the drawee may restrict it to part of the sum.
Any other change made by the acceptance to the particulars of the bill of exchange amounts to a refusal of acceptance. However, the acceptor is bound in the terms of his acceptance.
