Benchmark context
ClauseKey combines contract modifications with benchmark data, so the report can show not just what changed, but whether a change is common, unusual, or rare across contracts analysed by ClauseKey.
Prioritised by practical effect on the buyer: extra costs, deposit exposure, lost protections, shifted obligations, and tight settlement consequences.
What changed
The vendor's total liability for compensation under clause 6 is limited to $50,000 in aggregate, regardless of the number or nature of errors or misdescriptions.
Plain English
If an error costs more than $50,000 to remedy, the buyer may still only recover up to $50,000 from the vendor. For an $850,000 purchase, this materially limits compensation rights.
Market Context
Only 1% of benchmarked contracts amend this clause. Capping vendor liability at $50,000 is rare and materially limits a buyer's compensation rights.
What changed
The standard claim window is cut in half. The purchaser must make claims under clause 7 within 7 days of becoming aware of the relevant matter.
Plain English
The buyer has less time to investigate issues, get advice, and lodge formal claims. That can matter for title, planning, or requisition issues.
What changed
The vendor may request release of the deposit 30 days after finance and building inspection conditions are satisfied or waived.
Plain English
Instead of staying protected in trust until settlement, the deposit may be released and used by the vendor. If the vendor later defaults, recovery may be harder.
Special conditions override standard terms, while the contract remains valid even if some clauses are unenforceable.
The contract is conditional on finance approval within 21 days. The report also flags the stated finance amount for solicitor review.
The buyer can terminate if the inspection report is unsatisfactory within 14 days, with deposit refunded in full.
The buyer is entitled to inspect the property within 5 business days before settlement to confirm condition and that inclusions remain in place.
