Can seller terminate contract due to environmental defects in IL?

Can the seller terminate contract due to environmental defects in ILLINOIS?

Following a mold inspection, we (buyers) found out that there is mold in the house. After we gave our Inspection Response, the seller;

- first, refused to negotiate

-Then, they sent us a message saying that they are terminating the contract based on the following:
"244 environmental repair(s)at Closing. In the event either Seller or Buyer elects to terminate the
245 Contract due to an environmental defect as provided herein, the non-terminating Party shall
246 be obligated to sign the document terminating this Contract, and the Earnest Money shall be
247 refunded to Buyer. "

Can the seller do that? We have until 9/10 to negotiate. Is it legal?
