No one is forced to sign a contract with a clause like that in it. Don't like it, don't sign it. I wouldn't ever buy a unit under those conditions. And not knowing is no excuse. Pay a lawyer a couple hundred bucks and explain the contract to you.

A respectable developer would allow for price adjustments? Our buyers don't allow us a price adjustment if the market swings up, why should we adjust if the market swings down?
