Be careful here: Under the {{1992ma}}, if your {{isdaprov|Failure To Pay}} is also an {{isdaprov|Illegality}} it is treated as an {{isdaprov|Illegality}}: if there are two {{isdaprov|Affected Parties}} you will face a significant delay when closing out. A bit of a {{t|trick for young players}}.
 
===Differences between {{1992ma}} and {{2002ma}}===
Note also that reference to {{isdaprov|Illegality}} has been excised from the {{2002ma}} version.
 
They changed this because in practice, it turned out to too be hard to implement a transfer or amendment after an {{isdaprov|Illegality}}.  Folks realised that if an {{isdaprov|Illegality}} happens you don’t want to have to wait 30 days to terminate, especially if you can’t rely on {{isdaprov|2(a)(iii)}} to withhold payments in the meantime.

Summary

Handwaving appeals to one another’s good natures with this talk of reasonableness and, of course, both parties will probably be incentivised to keep the trade on foot if some unfortunate tax eventuality comes about — seeing as they were incentivised enough to start it —but ultimately, this is an agreement to agree, however you dress it up, and is as contractually enforceable as one. That is, not very.
