PROSPECTOR may offer comments on items or systems as a courtesy, but these comments will not comprise the bargained-for report. The report is only supplementary to the sellers disclosure.
2. The visual inspection and report is completed when practicable at the site. Some items are checked by taking a sample, which is analyzed and reported later. The inspection and report are performed and prepared for the use of CLIENT, who gives PROSPECTOR permission to discuss observations with real estate agents, owners, repair persons and other interested parties. PROSPECTOR accepts no responsibility for use or misinterpretation by third parties.
3. The report(s) does not cover (unless specifically stated):
* underground utilities * playground equipment * fuel tanks * the suitability of the property for any specialized use
* wells/springs * cosmetic items * drain fields * the market value of the property or its marketability
* solar systems * security systems * personal property * the methods, materials and costs of corrections
* underground items * sprinkler system * cesspools * any component or system which was not observed
* pools * central vacuum * appliances * life expectancy of any component or system
* septic tanks * detached structures * water treatment * the advisability or inadvisability of purchase of the property
* elevators * defects unobserved * code compliance * items not permanently installed
* environmental hazards * fuel quality * chimneys/flues * the causes of the need for a repair
* the presence or absence of pests such as wood damaging organisms, rodents, or insects

5. PROSPECTOR WANTS THE CLIENT TO KNOW:

* the CLIENT should NOT expect that PROSPECTOR will find every problem that exists or ever could exist, but only that PROSPECTOR will report deficiencies that PROSPECTOR both observed and deemed a significant material defect.
* PROSPECTOR will NOT move personal property, debris, furniture, equipment, and carpeting or like materials, which may impede access or limit visibility.
* the inspection is NOT intended to be technically exhaustive.
* equipment and systems will NOT be dismantled.

PROSPECTOR does not perform engineering, architectural, plumbing, or any other job function requiring an occupational license in the jurisdiction where the inspection is taking place, unless the ProSpector holds a valid occupational license, in which case he/she may inform the CLIENT that he/she is so licensed, and is therefore qualified to go beyond this basic home inspection, and for additional fee, perform additional inspections beyond those within the scope of the basic home inspection.
7. In the event of a claim against PROSPECTOR, CLIENT agrees to supply PROSPECTOR with the following: (1) Written notification of adverse conditions within 14 days of discovery, and (2) Access to the premises. Failure to comply with the above conditions will release PROSPECTOR and its agents from any and all obligations. In the event that CLIENT fails to prove any adverse claims against PROSPECTOR in a court of law, then the CLIENT will pay all legal costs, expenses and fees of PROSPECTOR in defending said claims.
8. Payment is due upon completion of the on-site inspection. The CLIENT will pay all legal and time expenses incurred in collecting due payments.
9. If any provision of this Agreement is declared invalid or unenforceable by any court, the remaining provisions will remain in effect.

No change or modification shall be enforceable against any party unless such change or modification is in writing and signed by the parties. This Agreement shall be binding upon and enforceable by the parties and their heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns. CLIENT shall have no cause of action against PROSPECTOR beyond the earlier of one year after the date of the inspection or the date of this Agreement.
THE ABOVE IS UNDERSTOOD AND AGREED TO, AND CLIENT ACKNOWLEDGES RECEIPT OF A COPY OF THIS AGREEMENT.
