Note the form does not say the contract is terminated and the EM is to be returned to the seller. IMHO you'd need a material breach for damages, and I have a hard time imagining a situation where the buyer wouldn't be allowed to just waive their inspection contingency and proceed to closing after having provided the inspection report. In that scenario the seller would not have been damaged at all (ignoring aggravation). <o:p></o:p></p><p>It's where the buyer doesn't proceed to closing and/or makes "unreasonable" demands for an adjustment that the clause and damages come into play.<o:p></o:p></p><pre>Kary L.
