1. EVIDENCE OF TITLE. The Seller shall, within 15 days from the date hereof, obtain a commitment to issue an owner’s policy of title insurance in the amount of the purchase price, naming Buyer as the insured, written by a title insurance company licensed in Missouri which policy shall insure the owner’s title to be in the condition called for by this contract, and which commitment shall provide that said policy shall be issued forthwith after the seller’s general warranty deed shall be placed of record. After delivery of said title insurance commitment, the Buyer shall have ten days to examine said title insurance commitment and notify the Seller in writing of any objections thereto. If there be any objections, the Seller shall within a reasonable time furnish to Buyer a new or amended title insurance commitment satisfying any such objections, but if such commitment shall not be furnished within 30 days after said notice, the Buyer at his election may avoid this contract by written notice to the Seller prior to the furnishing of such commitment, in which case the down payment shall be returned to the Buyer. If the failure to furnish a title insurance commitment is due to the fact that title defects cannot be corrected, then this contract shall be void, unless the Buyer gives notice to the Seller in writing of his election to waive such defects, and the down payment shall be returned to the Buyer, and if the Seller was in actual good faith the Seller shall not be liable to the Buyer for any damages.
