The possessor may assert the claim to reimbursement of outlays only if the owner regains possession of the thing or ratifies the outlays. Until the outlays are ratified, the owner may obtain release from the claim by returning the thing the possession of which they have regained. The ratification is deemed to have been made if the owner accepts the thing the possessor, while reserving the claim, offered to them.
