If you do not agree, then stop right here, and do not read any further.

It depends. If the Buyer had a contingency for any reason, then he can change his mind within that period and there is nothing that can be done as he can always say that he did not meet the contingency. She needs to have the contract reviewed by a real estate attorney to determine her legal rights and remedies, if any.
