The Purchaser shall have the right to cancel the contract within 14 days of the receipt of such notice. If the Purchaser does not give such notice as aforesaid the increase in price shall be added to and become part of the contract price.

ii) in the event of the recommended price being reduced the amount of such reduction, if any which the Seller intends to allow the Purchaser shall be notified to the Purchaser. If the amount allowed is not the same as the reduction of the recommended price the Purchaser shall have the contract within 14 days of the receipt of such notice.
