United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (1980)

Zivilrecht

Int. Privat- & Wirtschaftsrecht

(1) In the case of a contract for delivery of goods by instalments, if the failure of one party to perform any of his obligations in respect of any instalment constitutes a fundamental breach of contract with respect to that instalment, the other party may declare the contract avoided with respect to that instalment.
(2) If one party’s failure to perform any of his obligations in respect of any instalment gives the other party good grounds to conclude that a fundamental breach of contract will occur with respect to future instalments, he may declare the contract avoided for the future, provided that he does so within a reasonable time.
(3) A buyer who declares the contract avoided in respect of any delivery may, at the same time, declare it avoided in respect of deliveries already made or of future deliveries if, by reason of their interdependence, those deliveries could not be used for the purpose contemplated by the parties at the time of the conclusion of the contract.

Article 22

An acceptance may be withdrawn if the withdrawal reaches the offeror before or at the same time as the acceptance would have become effective.

 

 

OVERVIEW

1. Article 22 provides that an offeree may withdraw its acceptance if the withdrawal reaches the offeror before or at the same time as the acceptance becomes effective. An acceptance is generally effective at the moment it reaches the offeror in accordance with article 18 (2) (although in certain circumstances an acceptance by an act is effective when the act is performed, as provided in article 18 (3)). Article 24 defnes when an acceptance and a withdrawal of an acceptance “reaches” the offeror. There are no reported cases applying this article.
