This clause effectively allows the purchaser to "escape" from the contract if an inspection reveals any irregularities or defects.
Escape clauses, although fulfilling a real and sincere purpose in contracts of all kinds, have the potential of being abused.
[citation needed] The argument is that a party can always escape such a contract by merely claiming to be dissatisfied.
Therefore, there is no real requirement for that party to perform their obligations under the contract (to pay for the goods or services), and an agreement that only requires performance by one party is an illusory promise, void as a contract.
[citation needed] International trade agreements tend to include at least one form of escape clause.
