Generally you are describing a concept called "buyers remorse" or worse, the situtation where both parties to a contract are actively trying to "get over" on the other. As a general rule, if you are an intended party to an agreement and you sign it, it is typically enforcable against you. If you the other person fails to do what they agreed by the terms of the contract, it usually doesnt make the contract void, rather you have the remedy fof suing for damages. If this involves a large amount of money, any transaction of such nature is well served by having a lawyer assist you in the contract itself as it is is MUCH cheaper to address the terms and obligations of a contract in advance, when compared to the expense of litigation later on.
