1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,831
A contingency is a contract condition affecting a party's obligation

2
00:00:03,901 --> 00:00:05,375
to complete a transaction.

3
00:00:05,886 --> 00:00:09,427
An inspection or financing condition is a familiar example.

4
00:00:09,868 --> 00:00:11,378
Trace three checkpoints:

5
00:00:11,587 --> 00:00:15,232
what condition must be satisfied, when action is due, and

6
00:00:15,290 --> 00:00:16,602
what notice is required.

7
00:00:16,927 --> 00:00:20,004
These details determine how the contingency operates.

8
00:00:20,387 --> 00:00:24,369
An inspection concern does not automatically cancel every contract or

9
00:00:24,427 --> 00:00:26,052
guarantee a deposit refund.

10
00:00:26,331 --> 00:00:30,011
The agreement may require a timely notice, allow a response,

11
00:00:30,220 --> 00:00:31,892
or provide other options.

12
00:00:32,333 --> 00:00:36,455
Read the particular clause instead of assuming one universal result.

13
00:00:37,151 --> 00:00:37,941
Quick check:

14
00:00:38,266 --> 00:00:40,960
where do you find the steps for exercising an inspection

15
00:00:41,029 --> 00:00:41,946
contingency?

16
00:00:44,329 --> 00:00:45,270
In the contract:

17
00:00:45,351 --> 00:00:48,207
its language, deadlines, and notice requirements.
