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.
