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An acceptance may be withdrawn if the withdrawal reaches the offeror before or at the same time as the acceptance would have become effective.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