A contract dispute arose concerning the validity of an option to purchase real estate granted for a fixed term, where the potential buyer, after receiving formal notice to exercise the option, failed to execute the sale deed before the deadline, leading the seller to seek termination and damages. The court upheld the lower court's decision, reasoning that the option holder's failure to formalize the purchase by the stipulated date, despite formal notice, constituted a definitive refusal to be bound by the agreement, thereby justifying the termination of the option contract and the rejection of any claim for specific performance or damages against the seller.
