I would not use this.  I will not agree to take any risk at all.  A
cotract for sale and purchase (which is implicit when two people agree
a purchase) commits each party to certain responsibilities.  Any risk
is that one of the parties fails to meet their responsibility (and is 
ptentially actionable at law).  The contract itself should not define
any risk.  The risk I take as a purchaser is that the seller is 
dishonest.  I am not going to accept such a risk written in as part of 
a contract, that would be crazy.
