1392. An offer lapses if no acceptance is received by the offeror before the expiry of the specified term or, where no term is specified, before the expiry of a reasonable time; it also lapses with respect to the offeree if he has rejected it.
The death or bankruptcy of the offeror or the offeree, whether or not a term is attached to the offer, or the institution of tutorship to a person of full age or the homologation of a protection mandate for either of them also causes the offer to lapse, if that event occurs before acceptance is received by the offeror.
