If the debtor does not actually tender the performance according to the tenor of the obligation, there will be no effect on this tendering. But if the creditor has previously declared that he will not accept the performance, or if an act of the creditor is necessary for the performance, the debtor may substitute the notice to the creditor announcing that he (the debtor) is ready to perform for the tendering.

債務人非依債務本旨實行提出給付者，不生提出之效力。
但債權人預示拒絕受領之意思，或給付兼需債權人之行為者，債務人得以準備給付之事情，通知債權人，以代提出。
