(c) There are no encroachments of existing improvements located on said land onto adjoining land, nor any encroachments onto said land of existing improvements located on adjoining land;
(d) There are no encroachments of existing improvements located on said land onto that portion of said land subject to any easement shown in Schedule B.
(e) A future violation on the land of said covenants or restrictions or plat building lines, if any, will not give rise to a right of re-entry or result in a forfeiture or reversion of title.
