| A contract to sell is akin to a conditional sale where the efficacy or obligatory force of the vendor's obligation to transfer title is subordinated to the happening of a future and uncertain event, so that if the suspensive condition does not take place, the parties would stand as if the conditional obligation had never existed. The suspensive condition is commonly full payment of the purchase price.[15] | |||||

| It is different from contracts of sale, since ownership in contracts to sell is reserved by the vendor and is not to pass to the vendee until full payment of the purchase price, while in contracts of sale, title to the property passess to the vendee upon the delivery of the thing sold. In contracts of sale the vendor loses ownership over the property and cannot recover it unless and until the contract is resolved or rescinded, while in contracts to sell, title is retained by the vendor until full payment of the price.[38] In contracts to sell, full payment is a positive suspensive condition while in contracts of sale, non-payment is a negative resolutory condition.[39] | |||||

| First, the Receipt provides that the earnest money shall be forfeited in case the buyer fails to pay the balance of the purchase price on or before 15 July 1989. In such event, Valdes-Choy can sell the Property to other interested parties. There is in effect a right reserved in favor of Valdes-Choy not to push through with the sale upon Chua's failure to remit the balance of the purchase price before the deadline. This is in the nature of a stipulation reserving ownership in the seller until full payment of the purchase price. This is also similar to giving the seller the right to rescind unilaterally the contract the moment the buyer fails to pay within a fixed period.[26] | |||||
