1785. The sale of an existing or planned residential immovable by the builder or a developer to a natural person who acquires it to occupy it shall be preceded by a preliminary contract by which a person promises to buy the immovable, whether or not the sale includes the transfer to him of the seller’s rights over the land.
The preliminary contract shall include a stipulation that the promisor may withdraw his promise within 10 days after signing it. Where a memorandum must be given, the preliminary contract shall also include a stipulation that the promisor may, if the seller fails to give the memorandum to the promisor at the time the preliminary contract is signed, withdraw his promise until he receives the memorandum or within 10 days after receiving it.
