第 154 條

契約之要約人，因要約而受拘束。但要約當時預先聲明不受拘束，或依其情形或事件之性質，可認當事人無受其拘束之意思者，不在此限。

貨物標定賣價陳列者，視為要約。但價目表之寄送，不視為要約。

Article 154

A person who offers to make a contract shall be bound by his offer except at the time of offer he has excluded this obligation or except it may be presumed from the circumstances or from the nature of the affair that he did not intend to be bound.

Exposing goods for sale with their selling price shall be deemed to be an offer. However, the sending of pricelists is not deemed to be an offer.
