Contingent reinforcement is based on specific behaviors, while noncontingent reinforcement is delivered on a set schedule, regardless of behavior. Imagine you're working with a learner who struggles with disruptive behaviors during class time.
Passive contingency removal means that when the deadline passes and the party in question has not cancelled the agreement, by default they have removed their contingency. That is why it is called “passive.” If you do nothing, you are deemed to have removed your contingency.
Contingent contracts usually occur when negotiating parties fail to reach an agreement. The contract is characterized as "contingent" because the terms are not final and are based on certain events or conditions occurring. A contingent contract can also be viewed as protection against a future change of plans.
Contingencies are conditions that must be met for the sale to proceed. These could include inspections, such as a home or termite inspection, financing, or selling another property. Removing contingencies ensures that these conditions have been satisfied or waived, taking an active role in the transaction.
The buyer has to provide one, or more, signed Contingency Removal forms. Each one removing, or more, of the contract contingencies. Once the buyer has removed all of them in writing, they may no longer receive a refund of their deposit.
The investigation of property contingency is the 7-day period during which buyer completes their due diligence and inspections. Before they remove this contingency they would need to have requested, negotiated, and resolved any repair requests with you, or credits in lieu of repairs.
If the seller wants to enforce the deadline, they may send a Notice to Buyer to Perform, and then cancel the contract if the buyer still does not remove the contingencies.
Contingent means the seller has accepted an offer, but certain conditions need to be met before the sale closes. This means there's still a chance that the sale could fall through and the house goes back on the market, should those conditions go unmet.
