Right now, there's nothing like that in there.
It would be impossible to cover every single situation and possible outcome in a contract. So, instead what we try to do is cover things in a more blanket manner. If your house doesn't appraise then you can't get financing. If you have a mortgage contingency written into your contract that covers what happens when you can't get financing. It's not important why you didn't get financing. If you don't get it for any reason the contingency covers you and says what your rights/obligations are.
