The exoneration clause in the house sale and purchase agreement by the developer PT Varindo Lombok Inti and PT Alam Asri Properti in Mataram City regulates the transfer of responsibility in the agreement. PT Varindo Lombok Inti includes an exemption clause related to payments and fines, while PT Alam Asri Properti regulates unilateral cancellation by the developer. Based on Article 18 paragraph (1) letter c of the GCPL Law, the exoneration clause that exempts the developer from the obligation to return the money is contrary to the law, so that the agreement can be null and void in accordance with Article 1320 of the Civil Code concerning the requirement of a legal causa.
