hereincontained, this Agreement, save for this clause 4 and clauses 1 to 3, 18 through
to and including 21.41 (which are of immediate force and effect) is subject to the
fulfilment of the following suspensive conditions:
4.1.1 Local Authority Approvals – the Seller, by the close of Business Hours on 31
March 2014 (or such later or extended date as may be acceptable to the
Pu rchaser and Seller) and upon terms and conditions acceptable to the

with the Development and the Scheme as contemplated herein, the
Association Constitution and/or the Conduct Rules, as may be applicable;

to any suspensive conditions and/or outstanding provisions, save for this Clause

the Seller and may be waived in whole or in part, by only the Seller, prior to and/or
on the date for fulfilment of the Condition Precedent. If the Conditions Precedent
in Clauses 4.1.1 to 4.1.3 are not fulfilled or waived (in whole or in part, as the case
may be) by the Seller on or by the respective dates therefore, then save for this
clause 4 and clauses 1 to 3, 18 through to and including 21.41 which are of
immediate and continuing force and effect, this Agreement will not come into force
nor have any legal or other effect.
4.3 The Seller, with the Purchaser’s agreement, will be entitled, by Written Notice, prior to

the Conditions Precedent.
4.6 Should this Agreement become of no force or effect by reason of Clauses 4.2, 4.4

special condition will be deemed, unless otherwise agreed to in Writing by the Seller,
to have been fulfilled upon the date of issue by such recognised Bank or Financial
Institution of a quotation as referred to in the National Credit Act to the Purchaser or
his agent, irrespective of any loan agreement between the Purchaser and the said
Bank or Financial Institution and regardless of any of the conditions imposed by the
Bank or Financial Institution in granting such loan.
4.9 If and to the extent the Purchaser’s loan, as aforementioned, is not be approved
within the time period provided for in Part Four – Section K: Special Conditions, then
such period will automatically be extended until the Seller gives the Purchaser Written
Notice advising the Purchaser that the extended period has been terminated.
4.10 If and to the extent the Condition Precedent provided for in 4.9 is not fulfilled prior to
date on which the Seller gives the Purchaser Written Notice of termination
contemplated in Clause 4.9, then this Agreement will lapse and be of no further force
and effect and the remaining provisions pertaining to the Suspensive Conditions will
likewise apply.
4.11 The Purchaser undertakes to do all such things and to sign all such documents as may
32 | P a g e initial
Sectional Title Retirement Sale Agreement Version 1.1 Revision Date 12 December 2012
be necessary and/or requisite in order to apply for and procure the grant of the said
loan from the aforementioned Bank or Financial Institution and to furnish Written proof
to the Seller of the granting or refusal thereof.
4.12 The Purchaser acknowledges that he is fully aware of the requirements of Banks or
Financial Institutions with regard to granting loans on the basis of income and
commitments of a borrower and the Purchaser warrants that his income is sufficient in
relation to his commitments to meet the requirements of the Bank or Financial

Person, Bank or Financial Institution in order to procure the loan and/or register
the mortgage or other bond or security contemplated in Clause 4.9, including
without limitation, any deed of suretyship, loan application and a power of
attorney to pass the requisite bond.
Seller’s Right to Accept Another Offer
4.14 If the Seller, prior to the fulfilment of the Suspensive Condition contemplated and
provided for in Clause 4.1.4 which has been deferred or postponed, receives, during
the period of such deferral or postponement, another offer to purchase the Subject
Matter which it, in its Discretion, is desirous of accepting, then and in that event the
Seller must and will Notify the Purchaser of its intention in Writing. If and to the extent
the Purchaser is desirous of proceeding with the transaction herein contemplated,
the Purchaser will and must, within 5 (five) Business Days of receipt of such Notice, Notify the Seller, in Writing, that he waives the benefit of such Suspensive Condition,
thereby binding himself unconditionally and declaring himself financially able to fulfil
all his obligations provided for in this Agreement, failing which this Agreement will
lapse, and be of no further force or effect.
4.15 If and to the extent this Agreement lapses by reason of Clause 4.14, then and in that
event:
4.15.1 the Conveyancer must and will repay the Deposit, plus the interest earned
thereon, to the Purchaser; and
4.15.2 neither the Purchaser nor the Seller will have any claim for damages or any other claim against each other arising from such lapsing.
Seller’s Right To Resile
4.16 Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary herein contained, at any time prior to a
period of 12 (twelve) months having lapsed from the Signature Date, if construction in
respect of the Scheme has not commenced within that period, the Seller, in its
Discretion, will have the right, but not the obligation, to resile from this Agreement.
4.17 Should the Seller exercise its right and election to resile from this Agreement, it must
and will give Written notice to the Purchaser that it has elected so to do.
4.18 This Agreement will lapse and become null and void upon Notice having been given
and all amounts paid by the Purchaser, together with the interest earned thereon in
the Conveyancer’s Trust Bank Account, will forthwith be refunded to the Purchaser,
with the Purchaser having no further claims of whatsoever nature or kind against the
Seller pursuant to the Seller exercising its right and election to resile from this

Disputed Payments
6.11 If payment is demanded in terms of this Agreement and the Purchaser disputes the
obligation to make payment, the Purchaser must nevertheless make such payment in
question under protest and institute action for the recovery thereof together with interest at the Prime Rate, unless a specific rate of interest is otherwise provided
therefore in Law.
6.12 Interest will accrue to the Seller and be charged to the Purchaser at the Prime Rate
plus 3% (three percent) thereon, from time to time, on every amount payable by the
Purchaser to the Seller in terms of this Agreement should such amount not be paid on
due date therefore, whether such date is fixed in the Agreement or in a Written
demand by the Seller (and/or its representative) to the Purchaser. For the avoidance
of doubt, the Purchaser will be liable and obliged to and must pay the Seller the
aforementioned interest charge on any late payment.
6.13 Interest will accrue from the date that payment is due until the actual date of
payment of such amount (both Days inclusive) and must and will be paid by the
Purchaser to the Seller prior to the Transfer Date.
6.14 Should the Purchaser fail to:
6.14.1 deliver the Balance of Purchase Price Guarantee or the Deposit Advantage
Guarantee, as the case may be, within the prescribed period or by the date
specified in this Agreement; or
6.14.2 take Transfer when required to,
thereby deferring the date on which the Seller is expected to be paid the Balance of
the Purchase Price or the full Purchase Price, as the case may be, then without further
Notice, the Seller, in its Discretion, will be entitled, but not obliged, to charge the
Purchaser penalty interest at the Prime Rate plus 3% (three percent) on the Purchase
Price. Such penalty interest will accrue from the date that payment of the Balance of
Purchase Price Guarantee or Deposit Advantage Guarantee, as the case may be, is
due or the date on which the Purchaser failed to comply with his obligations, until the
actual date of delivery of the Balance of the Purchase Price Guarantee, the Deposit
Advantage Guarantee or the date upon which the Purchaser has complied with the
Purchaser's obligations relating to taking Transfer, whichever is relevant, and it must
and will be paid by the Purchaser to the Seller prior to the Transfer Date. For the
avoidance of doubt, if the Purchaser has taken Occupation (deemed or otherwise)
and the Purchaser is deferring Transfer as contemplated in this Clause 6.14, then and
in that event the Purchaser will be responsible and liable to pay the Seller the greater
of the penalty interest herein provided or Occupational Interest.
6.15 The provisions set out in Clauses 6.11 to and including 6.14 will in no way prejudice the
rights of the Seller to give Notice and take whatever other steps and remedies as are
available in Law and in terms of Clause 18 or any other applicable provision of this
Agreement.

necessitate changes to the Development, the Scheme and the Subject Matter;

defects, if any, which may exist in these items at the time. The Seller will not be
responsible for the rectification of any defects which are not noted on the
Acceptance of Handover Form.
7.22 If the Purchaser fails or refuses to accept handover of the Unit, then and in that event
the Certificate of Practical Completion will, in terms of Section 6(1) of the Act, be
deemed sufficient proof that the Unit was free of any defects on the Practical

provisions of the Management Rules and the Conduct Rules, as the case may

and obtained; and
7.28.6 the Purchaser may not let or in any other manner Dispose of or part with (whether

thereon, to the Purchaser; and

8.7.3 cancel this Agreement, in which event the Purchaser will be liable to:
8.7.3.1 the Seller for administration, professional and/or wasted costs, charges,
expenses and/or fees (including VAT thereon) incurred by the Seller in
entering into this Agreement, as well as such damages as a court of
competent jurisdiction may determine; and/or
