The subdivider shall obtain and retain a receipt, signed by the purchaser, acknowledging receipt of a copy of the public offering statement prior to the execution by the purchaser of any contract or agreement for the disposition of any lot in a subdivision, which receipt shall be kept in the files of the subdivider and be subject to inspection by the Administrator for a period of three (3) years from the date the receipt is taken. B. A public offering statement shall disclose fully and accurately all material circumstances or features which affect the subdivided lands or which would be a material consideration in making the purchasing decision.

The assistance, if any, that the subdivider and the subdivider's agents or affiliates will provide to the purchaser in the resale of the property and the extent to which the subdivider, agents, or affiliates will be in competition in the event of resale; 5. The material terms of any encumbrances, easements, liens, and restrictions including zoning and other regulations affecting the subdivided lands and each unit or lot, the efforts to remove such liens or encumbrances, the results of the success or failure thereof, and all existing taxes and existing or proposed special taxes or assessments which affect the subdivided lands; 6.
