As I mention early, I bought almost 4 properties from IOI and sign the same letter what you sign. As I also asking them last time about this clause. So, you should read the clause together with the clause before:
Clause Before : In the event and notwithstanding that
an extension of time may given at your absolute discretion to execute the SPA, I/we agree for the SPA to be dated on the last day of the Grace Period (as stated in the Sales Form) regardless of the actual date of the SPA is signed) - YOU ASKING EXTENSION TO SIGN SPA
Clause After : In consideration of you acceding to my/our above request, I/we agree to waive my/our right to claim for liquidated damages for late delivery, if applicable,
in respect of the period beginning from the date of this letter and ending on the date of Agreement. - IOI AGREED ON THE EXTENSION AT YOUR RISK CAN'T CLAIM LAD
What that mean : In actual coz you are asking the extension of signing SPA, the number of date you can't claim for LAD is from the BOOKING DATE until the DATE WHEN YOU SIGNING SPA. That is the meaning of that clause friend. LAD still run after that.
Sample : Booking Date 1/7/2014. And you should sign SPA within 14 days but you asking further extension until 30/7/2014. So the date you signing SPA is 30/7/2014. Therefore there are 30 days you can claim the LAD (if any) due to your request.
thnx for the clarification mes23, however the way they worded it is very confusing. i thought LAD is for late delivery of said property? how is it possible that the property would be completed within the stated extension period?
