765:. If a solicitor issues an offer specifying that he will maintain it for a specified period, there are actually two offers: the first, which determines the content of the future contract, the second, which proposes to maintain the initial offer for a period of time. As this ancillary offer only presented advantages for the recipient, it could be assumed that the recipient tacitly accepted it. It is therefore a preliminary contract that has been formed, which obliges the solicitor to maintain its offer for the duration indicated. According to this doctrine, if no time limit is stipulated, it is presumed that the solicitor wished to give time to reflect: there is therefore an implicit offer of time.

waiting for it to a third party, there is an abuse of rights . Case law also knows of examples of potential (and disappointed) buyers who have irreversibly changed their personal legal situation: one terminates his lease and finds himself homeless, the other resigns from his job because he is offered an interesting offer. In this case, the judges may consider that the withdrawal of the pollicitation is abusive; Consequently, the buyer who will have incurred costs to respond to the offer may be reimbursed for the costs (transport, study, etc.) that he may have incurred, or else be compensated for the business that he may have neglected, anticipating the conclusion of the contract.

to know it. The externalization is in principle express: the offeror must externalize his offer, by any means of communication (in writing (letter, catalog, poster, advertisement, message transmitted by telegram, fax or telex), orally, or even by gestures, as can be the case at the stock exchange or at the auction). In application of the doctrine of consensualism , there is no form required for the declaration of the offer. There is therefore at least one positive and unequivocal fact, and no doubt exists, for witnesses to this fact, on the willingness of the offeror to conclude a contract.
592:. This is the case with the employment contract: the recruiter makes a proposal with sufficiently precise elements, but he reserves the right to approve the person he will recruit and with whom he will contract: he obviously arrogates to himself a right of reserve, legitimate, and is not obliged to hire the first candidate come, even if he satisfies the precise criteria of his offer. The “job offers” that we find in newspapers are therefore not offers, but invitations to enter into negotiations.

existence. However, a certain place is left to the theory of the autonomy of the will, since the offeror can reserve a right of withdrawal, on the condition that it is explicit. In French law, certain authors have proposed a dualist analysis: the solicitor would only be bound by a unilateral declaration of will when he has undertaken to maintain an offer for a determined period; otherwise, the theory of civil liability operates.

counter-offer) do not think they are placed in a situation of competition: the recipients then have the legitimate appearance that they are the only recipients of an offer. It is indeed a condition attached to the firmness of the offer, because the one who makes multiple and irreconcilable offers (such as the proposal for the sale of the same good to several determined persons) does not have the intention of.
364:, the pollicitation is a proposal to contract, exteriorized, showing the will to be engaged in the event of acceptance for the essential elements of the future contract. A pollicitation can be withdrawn as long as it is not accepted by the recipient of the offer; otherwise, it is faulty or abusive. Finally, if the pollicitation lapses, if the pollicitant dies or becomes legally incapable, it disappears.

acceptance of an offer does not take effect if the indication of acquiescence "does not reach the author of the offer within the time limit that it has stipulated or, in the absence of such a stipulation, within a reasonable time, taking into account the circumstances of the transaction and the speed of the means of communication used by the author of the offer”.
654:: silence alone cannot be considered as a proposal to contract, because a silence is equivocal, and does not want anything to express ; to accept silence as a mode of “expression” would be to establish a form of forced contract. Thus, for authors, there is no truly tacit offer, apart from the situation of the tenant who would remain silent.
555:(such as “price negotiable”). However, the existence of a reservation limits the firmness of the offer, and the doctrine has questioned the reservations which could be compatible with a firm pollicitation, and other reservations which would lead to the disqualification of the pollicitation in invitation to enter into negotiations.

As soon as the withdrawal is possible, the applicant is not obliged to notify the recipient of a formal notice: the withdrawal can be made without notifying the recipient, at the expiration of a reasonable period of time.

becomes, in itself, a source of obligations. French law however accepts only the law, the contract, the quasi-contract , the misdemeanor and the quasi-delict as sources of obligations, and not the only offer, with a view to carrying out a contract. This theory has never been enshrined in French positive law.
897:
offer is for an indefinite period, the offeror's will to contract ceases with his death: the offer is therefore null and void. Conversely, when the offer is accompanied by a deadline, it remains valid at least until the end of this period, the death of the offeror does not change the validity of the offer.

deduce from the silence kept that the old contract was satisfactory, and that it is in the interest of each party to continue it; otherwise, a party would have spoken, and would have expressed an intention to break up. We therefore deduce the will to continue from the absence of the intention to break.
850:
In the first place, we can say that the offer is null and void from the moment it is accepted. More particularly, when the offer is addressed to the public, but can only give rise to a single contract, the first acceptance renders the offer null and void with regard to other possible acceptors: it is
638:
An abstention can thus induce an intention to contract. For example, article 1738 of the French Civil Code provides that if at the end of the lease contract, the tenant remains in the premises, it is a tacit offer to renew the lease. It is the same in the tacit renewals of contract: on both sides, we

Case law also accepts the tacit offer, that is to say the offer which, without being expressed by mere silence, will be deduced from certain facts which are indicative of the intention to contract: one can deduce of a behavior, of an attitude, which means that one offers to contract, even if there is
630:
The offer is necessarily turned towards someone: it is a manifestation of will, which must be brought to the attention of others. There is therefore no pollicitation unless the proposal to contract is externalized, otherwise, no potential contracting party could accept it for want of having been able

Authors often cite the example of an advertisement for the sale of a product "while stocks last": there is indeed a proposal with a reserve, but, nevertheless, it is a pollicitation, because it is a reserve. objective, which does not depend on the will of the solicitor, and in which the arbitrariness

According to case law, a "reasonable period", "moral", must always be left to the recipient of the offer. In general, this period is very short, especially in commercial matters, in order to respect the imperatives of speed of transactions, and it is only when it expires that the right of withdrawal

When no time limit has been specified, a distinction must be made, conventionally, according to whether the offer was made to the public or to a specific person. However, this distinction is questioned, and must certainly be put into perspective. This time limit is fully appreciated by the judges on

Doctrine and case-law agree to adjust the principle of free revocability of the offer communicated to its recipient. The offer, in fact, may be accompanied by a period during which its maintenance is necessary since the prospective acceptor must have time to examine the proposal sent to him, to make

Finally, in the event that several irreconcilable offers come from the same person, the offeror cannot choose, at his own discretion, the one that is most advantageous: this would then be a form of auctioning, then that the recipients of this "offer" (which is in fact only an invitation to propose a

The judge will sometimes have to qualify certain contractual obligations as main, while others will be ancillary. The first will be fundamental so that the contract can be really formed, the second having for object only to determine, in particular, the methods of execution of the first obligations:

However, the determination of the essential elements, which must appear in the offer, and those which may be absent because they are only ancillary, will depend on the contract considered. It is necessary to distinguish, according to the authors, between a contract which would be "named", that is to

A reservation is a limitation imposed by the author of a proposal on their willingness to enter into a contract. It can be explicit or implicit and may relate to the very principle of the contract, the contracting party’s identity (as seen in “classified ads” in newspapers), or the contract’s terms
442:
Thus, the sale, which is a named contract, is “perfect as soon as the thing and the price have been agreed”. It is then not requested, neither that the thing has been delivered, nor that the price has been paid: it is sufficient that the parties agree on these two essential points for the contract
866:
When the offeror has not specified a deadline, we agree that the offer may implicitly contain a promise of a reasonable, “moral” period, the duration of which is fully appreciated by the trial judges. This solution joins that adopted in article 18-2 of the Vienna
Convention, according to which the

If the offeror had himself specified the period during which his offer survived, he would be committing a fault in withdrawing it, but after this period, any acceptance would be ineffective, because the offer would then have itself disappeared. In this sense, the specified time limit is binding on
781:
However, there is only fault if there is a pre-existing obligation, which is precisely what one seeks to demonstrate; however, these authors appeal to the theory of abuse of rights: the offer creates in the mind of the recipient a legitimate expectation, the hope of a contract, which its premature

In the case of a credit offer, the issuer (a bank, for example) must be able to assess the creditworthiness of the acceptor. In these cases, it is even considered that it is not the one who takes the initiative of the contractual process who will be the initiator, but the one who responded to this

In this hypothesis, this will mean that there will be only one invitation to negotiate. Whoever makes this invitation will not have been sufficiently firm and precise as to the content of the contract he is proposing. The recipient of this offer can then in reality make a new offer, which we will

However, in a judgment dated June 25, 2014, the Court of
Cassation considered that "the offer which is not accompanied by a deadline lapses by the death of the one from whom it emanates before it has been accepted". The Court distinguished between fixed-term offers and open-ended offers. When the

It follows that the author of the offer must maintain it for a period varying according to the circumstances, and that the death or incapacity of the offeror occurring after the issuance of the offer does not prevent the acceptance of the offer: it survives its author, it has an independent legal

If it is the law which fixes the time limit, the revocation of the offer is also faulty. However, some authors have seen in this hypothesis the possibility that the acceptance, subsequent to the early revocation, but which would be formulated before the end of the legal period for maintaining the

For some authors, case law has reduced the scope of the principle of free revocability of the offer to such an extent that, in reality, it only fully comes into play when the offer has not yet been communicated to the recipient. However, this hypothesis, which does not suffer from any difficulty,

The offender, by this option, would also have the possibility of causing damage without incurring any liability. If an offeror offers a potential buyer to cross France to come and buy a car, for example, when he would have promised him that he would wait for his arrival, but sells the car without

It could be an express reservation of approval such as that which indicates that the proposal is "subject to confirmation", the seller retaining, for example, the possibility, after the signature of the buyer, to notify his refusal, or subordinating its commitment to the signature of the managing

Some authors oppose the idea of ​​a free revocability of the offer, and defend in particular the theory of unilateral commitment, which prohibits the author of an offer from being able to withdraw it, the offer being separated of its author and enjoying autonomy in relation to it: the offer then

Several foundations have been put forward to explain this obligation to maintain the supply over time, which is apparently contradictory with the theory of the autonomy of the will: what we have done, we must be able to undo it freely. Some authors will therefore seek a basis in the tradition of
768:
This foundation has been criticized for its largely artificial nature: if the silence of the recipient of the offer implies acceptance of it, when it is made for the exclusive benefit of the recipient, the resulting contract must not be a fiction. This basis is only valid if there is really an

However, this principle of free revocability of the offer can lead to risks of legal uncertainty: the offer can be revoked at any time, this can force the recipient of the offer to declare its acceptance of the contract imminently, without taking the time to reflect.

Convention which considers that in this case there is a simple invitation to the offer and not a genuine offer.

By extension, when the solicitor has not specified a period during which his offer was still valid, case law grants the recipient of the offer a reasonable period of time, for legal security considerations.

In this hypothesis, the offer will not have been firm, in order to put the recipients of this call in competition. Even very precise in specifications, calls for tenders do not require a specific price.
