purpose of this inspection is to identify and disclose visually
observable major deficiencies of the inspected systems and items
at the time of the inspection only. Detached buildings are not included.
3) This
inspection is not intended to be technically exhaustive nor is it
considered to be a GUARANTEE OR WARRANTY, EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED,
REGARDING THE CONDITIONS OF THE PROPERTY, ITEMS AND SYSTEMS INSPECTED
AND IT SHOULD NOT BE RELIED ON AS SUCH. The Inspector shall not
be held responsible or liable for any repairs or replacements with
regard to this property, systems, components, or the contents therein.

and one arbitrator must be a member of ASHIâ with at least five (5) years
of Home Inspection experience.
6) The
inspection service is conducted at the property. The physical on-site
inspection of the property is a very valuable time of exchange of
information between the Inspector and the Client. Any particular
concern of the Client must be brought to the attention of the Inspector
before the inspection begins. The written report will not substitute
for Client's personal presence during the inspection. It is virtually
impossible to fully profile any building with any reporting system.
Unless Client attends and participates in the inspection process
itself, the Client will have no chance of gaining all of the information
that is offered.
The undersigned have read, understood and accepted
the terms and conditions of this agreement and agree to pay the
charges specified below:
Client agrees to pay a base fee of $50.00
plus any additional fees not included in the base fee and any applicable
taxes at or before the time of inspection.
