A party that had signed a preliminary contract to purchase real estate, but failed to provide the necessary notice to the seller, preventing the fulfillment of a condition precedent (obtaining financing), was deemed to have breached the agreement and was liable for the stipulated penalty, as the court reasoned that the failure to execute the necessary steps for financing constituted a failure to perform the obligation freely assumed under the contract, regardless of the actual possibility of obtaining the loan, thereby justifying the seller's claim for damages according to the contract terms.
