If the trustee is unable to convey title to this property for any reason, the sole remedy of the purchaser is the return of the de- posit. Reasons of such inability to convey include, but are not limited to, the filing of a bankruptcy petition prior to the confirmation of the sale and reinstatement of the loan with- out the knowledge of the trustee. If the validity of the sale is challenged by any party, the trustee, in their sole discretion, if they believe the chal- lenge to have merit, may request the court to declare the sale to be void and return the deposit. The pur- chaser will have no further remedy.
