Some of you may remember the Sef Gonzales case, and the ensuing furore about the house being sold without disclosure of the fact that the murders occurred there. Since then, some real estate contracts have started featuring a "Gonzales disclosure". This one, forwarded by a friend, takes the cake for being the most comprehensive and disturbing:
The Vendor discloses that there may have occurred within or upon the property the most extreme human and/or other obscenities the Purchaser can imagine. Without limiting the scope and meaning of "obscenities", they may include extreme acts in violation of the criminal and other law, acts of sacrilege, Satanism, hedonism, acts in abuse of culture or custom and acts calculated or likely to induce disgust, dread, horror, repugnance and/or revulsion on any scale in good men and women. The purchaser acknowledges that it is a matter for his due diligence to exercise his own imagination for the purpose of this Special Condition.
