INSPECTION CONTINGENCY
In the Florida "As Is" contract, the seller and the buyer can agree on how long the buyer will have to inspect the property, and more importantly, cancel the contract and have their deposit returned to them.  If left blank, the current version of the contract, has a default of 15 days from the effective date of the contract.
Obviously if you are a seller, you may want to negotiate the number of days to inspect to less than the default 15 days.  Remember, during that period of time, the buyer can cancel in their sole discretion, and now the seller has to start looking for another buyer.
