# Art. 2621. Acceptance, when effective; option turns into contract to sell; rejection

The acceptance or rejection of an offer contained in an option is effective when received by the grantor. Upon such an acceptance the parties are bound by a contract to sell.

Rejection of the offer contained in an option terminates the option but a counteroffer does not.
