At Closing, if requested by Seller, Buyer shall reaffirm the acknowledgments made in this section on a form acceptable to Seller, in its sole discretion, and notwithstanding any such reaffirmation or acknowledgment made in writing, Buyer’s acceptance of the Deed shall be deemed conclusive evidence of Buyer’s reaffirmation of the representations made in this section, along with all other representations and warranties made by Buyer herein, all of which shall be deemed to have survived Closing.

(f) Buyer and Seller agree and acknowledge that nothing contained in this Contract shall be deemed an authorization of Buyer to act as agent of Seller in connection with the Property.

Buyer is hereby obligated to inform all parties performing services or materials for or on account of Buyer in connection with the exercise of its rights under this Contract that such parties shall not be permitted to file any notice of claim of lien or lien action against the Property or any portion thereof.
