Good to know

Can I keep the whole deposit if they cancel?+

Only a reasonable charge under the CPA — the agreement sets a fair sliding scale you can defend.

What about rain or load-shedding?+

The force-majeure clause covers events beyond either party's control, with a move-the-date-first approach.

Is this legal advice?+

No. It's a professionally structured starting point. For high-value or unusual deals, have an attorney review your completed document.
