Subd. 2. Amendments. Any material furnished pursuant to subdivision 1 may not be changed or amended following delivery to the purchaser, if the change or amendment would affect materially the rights of the purchaser, without first obtaining approval of the purchaser. A copy of any amendments shall be delivered promptly to the purchaser.
Subd. 3. Vendor liability; time limit. Any vendor referred to in subdivision 1 who, in disclosing the information required pursuant to subdivisions 1 and 2, makes any untrue statement of a material fact, or omits to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements made, in the light of circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, shall be liable to any person purchasing an apartment from that vendor. However, no action may be maintained to enforce any liability created under this section unless brought within three years after the date of closing.
Subd. 4. No waiver; closing ends rescission right. The rights of purchasers under this section may not be waived in the purchase agreement and any attempted waiver is void. However, any purchaser who proceeds to closing terminates any right under this section to rescind.
Subd. 5. Nonresidential use; rights limited. The requirements of this section do not apply to the sale of any unit which is to be occupied and used for nonresidential purposes.
Subd. 6. Rescission. (a) A purchaser has an unconditional right to rescind a purchase agreement at any time within five days after the date the purchaser receives all the information contained in subdivision 1.
(b) Each purchase agreement shall prominently contain upon its face the following notice printed in bold type, stating:
"Notice to Purchaser
You are entitled to rescind this agreement at anytime within five days from the day you actually receive the information required by law. Such rescission must be in writing and mailed to the vendor or the vendor's agent or lender at the address stated in this document. Upon rescission, you will receive a refund of all moneys paid."
(c) Rescission occurs when the purchaser gives written notice of rescission to the vendor, or agent of the vendor or the lender at the address stated in the purchase agreement. Notice of rescission, if given by mail, is effective when it is deposited in a mailbox properly addressed and postage prepaid.
Subd. 7. Proposed forms. When the purchase agreement relates to a condominium not yet formed, the applicable information required by subdivision 1, may be a proposed form.
