If a tender is insufficient as lacking the requisite elements of a valid tender,1 and if the creditor has not waived such defects,2 such tender has no legal effect.3 If a tender is refused on the ground that it is insufficient, the debtor may make a sufficient tender if the time for performance on his part has not elapsed.4 If a tender has been made of articles which do not conform to the requirements of the contract, and such tender is refused, the party who is bound to furnish such articles may make a subsequent tender in compliance with the terms of the contract.5
