PA Sales Agreement Contract Questions
http://www.pategan.net/AOS.pdf
Here's a link to the contract I'm using. My issues are on Page 5, and 12
Question about how to fill out the Sales Agreement. The property has a private, on lot sewage system. "B" STATUS OF SEWER : The check boxes seem to indicate ISSUES with the sewer (as per the "notices" listed afterward, depending on which box you check.) Am I understanding this wrong? Should I just check " Individual On-lot sewage disposal system (see sewage notice 1)" , or do I need to check the box with the blank line, and write "Individual on-lot sewage" to indicate that none of the notices apply?
Question 2 : DEFAULT, TERMINATION, AND RETURN OF DEPOSITS : There is a place where you can check "SELLER IS LIMITED TO RETAINING SUMS PAID BY BUYER, INCLUDING DEPOSIT MONIES, AS LIQUIDATED DAMAGES" . I'm not sure what is standard, and how the wording before it fits in with this particular statement, if anyone could clarify.

@Summer Segeleon i see you are from Titusville and I am from Pittsburgh so the contract you are using may be similar to the standard PAR agreement. PAR is the Pennsylvania Association of Realtors. These agreements are set up to cover a lot of different scenarios. Septic, well water, radon test, inspections, Agents involved? If so then you need disclosures of agency, costs sheets and various other standardized documents to comply with Agency laws. If you have an attorney or an agent friend who you can pay a few hundred dollars to this would go a long way for this deal. Then you will have a template for future deals.
