What is the consequence of entering anything other than 'Nothing' in Paragraph 15 for Special Provisions?

• A. It would be practicing law without a license
• B. It would be creating a binding amendment
• C. It would nullify the contract
• D. It would require a notary

Answer: (A)

Entering anything other than Nothing in Paragraph 15 Special Provisions tests the rule that licensees should not draft or add legal language to a contract. This section is meant to be neutral or show no extra terms, and adding text would amount to practicing law without a license. That’s why the consequence described is the prohibition on licensees providing legal drafting services. It isn’t about creating a binding amendment, nullifying the contract, or requiring a notary—the latter two aren’t automatically triggered by simply filling in this paragraph. Notarization isn’t required for the contract to be valid in most cases, and amendments or nullifications come from mutual agreement or contract breaches, not from the mere presence of nonstandard language in this section.
