Certain Breaches of the Agreement warrant immediate cessation of the rental and imposition of Liquidated Damages. The parties agree that in the event of a breach (as enumerated below) of the agreement (including the Community Center Rules and Regulations) it will be impracticable and extremely difficult to fix the actual damages to the Homes Association.
Therefore, the parties agree that in such event, the sum of $2,000.00 shall be a stipulated sum representing a reasonable approximation of the damages apt to be suffered by the Homes Association. Further, the Association reserves the right to immediately terminate the rental (prior to or during the rental period) if any of these breaches come to its attention.
