The period for accepting the offer begins on the day after the offer is sent by the customer and ends on the expiry of the fifth day following the dispatch of the offer. If the seller does not accept the customer's offer within the aforementioned period, this shall be deemed a rejection of the offer, with the consequence that the customer is no longer bound by their declaration of intent.
