• withdraw from the purchase contract. In this case, ChampSDA reserves the right for itself and/or the contributor to demand compensation from the purchaser for the entire damage caused by the purchaser, which, after a covering sale, may result in particular from incurred fees, expenses, costs and losses of lower purchase prices, including all costs and expenses as well as the costs of legal representation, etc., or
