California Codes, Civil Code - CIV, Division 3 — Obligations, Part 1 — Obligations in General, Title 2 — Interpretation of Obligations, Chapter 4 — Alternative Obligations, Section 1449
If the party having the right of selection between alternative acts does not give notice of his selection to the other party within the time, if any, fixed by the obligation for that purpose, or, if none is so fixed, before the time at which the obligation ought to be performed, the right of selection passes to the other party.
Notes
Sets the deadline for exercising a right to choose between alternative acts: the selecting party must notify the other party within any time fixed by the obligation, or, if none is fixed, before performance is due. Failure to give timely notice transfers the selection right to the other party.
