A promise may be enforced by the legal representatives of the promisee in the event of the death of such promisee before performance, unless a contrary intention appears from the contract.

Effect of refusal to accept offer of performance Effect of refusal to accept offer of performance.—Where a promisor has made an offer of performance to the promisee and the offer has not been accepted, the promisor is not responsible for non-performance, nor does he thereby lose his rights under the contract. Every such offer must fulfill the following conditions:—

1. (1) it must be unconditional;
2. (2) it must be made at a proper time and place, and under such circumstances that the person to whom it is made may have a reasonable opportunity of ascertaining that the person by whom it is made is able and willing there and then to do the whole of what he is bound by his promise to do;
3. (3) if the offer is an offer to deliver anything to the promisee, the promisee must have a reasonable opportunity of seeing that the thing offered is the thing which the promisor is bound by his promise to deliver.
