STANDARD HOME INSPECTION AGREEMENT
THIS AGREEMENT is made between Tabor K. Hill & Associates (herein referred to as the 'Company') and_________________________________________ (herein referred to as the ‘Customer’) regarding a single building (the 'Building') to be inspected located at______________________________________________________________________________________________
The Company agrees to perform an inspection of a Single Building for the purpose of alerting the Customer to significant deficiencies in its condition. A report (the 'Report') containing the inspection's findings will be prepared by the Company and provided to the Customer for the Customer’s sole, exclusive and confidential use. The company will perform its inspection in accordance with the Standards of Practice of ASHI.
Fee:_______________________________________________________
The inspection fee is due and payable at the time of inspection unless written arrangements for payment are made prior to the inspection. The inspection is based on a single visit to a single Building only. Additional fees may be charged for subsequent visits required by the Customer or, if the inspector conducting the inspection is called upon to prepare for litigation, give testimony as a result of his inspection, or the like, such additional services are beyond the scope of this Agreement.
The inspection will be conducted only on visible and accessible areas and components of the Building, and is limited to the apparent condition of the Building on the date of the inspection only. Not all conditions may be apparent on the inspection date due to weather conditions, inoperable systems, inaccessibility, and the like. Conditions may exist which remain undiscovered. While the inspection reduces the risk of purchasing property, it does not eliminate such risk. The Company is not responsible for the failure to discover latent defects or for problems which occur or become evident after the inspection time. No invasive or destructive testing will be made. No equipment, systems or appliances will be dismantled. The moisture content of all walls, floors, ceilings, siding, and the like will not be tested. As to certain conditions, only random sampling will be conducted. The inspection report will not address the presence of radon gas, lead paint, asbestos, urea formaldehyde, carbon monoxide or any other toxic or potentially harmful or flammable chemicals, the well system, septic tank or other buried drainage or storage systems, the security system, the central vacuum systems, water softeners or treatment services, fire sprinkler systems, the presence of rodents, termites, wood-boring insects, ants, birds or other infestation. Neither this Agreement nor the Report constitutes or should be construed to be: A. A compliance inspection with respect to any code, standard or regulation. B. A guarantee, warranty or policy of insurance. C. A wood destroying organism report. D. An environmental, mold, moisture or engineering analysis.
The Customer is advised to seek other advice or recommendations from appropriate professionals (additional evaluation) regarding the foregoing, conditions revealed in the Report, and areas excluded from the scope of the inspection.
References to Major or Minor as used in this report are subjective and based on visual observations at the time of inspection and therefore cannot be guaranteed. Only with additional evaluation from an appropriately licensed company can Major or Minor deficiencies be determined.
The Company assumes no liability for the cost of repair or replacement of unreported defects or deficiencies either current or arising in the future. The Company's liability for mistakes or omissions in the conduct of this inspection and its Report is limited to the refund of the fee paid. This limitation of liability is binding upon the Customer, its heirs, successors and assigns, and all other parties claiming by or through the Customer.
This is the entire agreement of the parties regarding these matters. Any modification or amendment to this Agreement must be in writing and signed by the affected party. In the event any portion of this Agreement is determined to be unenforceable, the remainder of it will continue in full force and effect.
This Agreement is binding upon and available to the heirs, successors and, to the extent permitted hereunder, the assigns of each of the parties.
Any controversy of claim between the parties arising out of or relating to the interpretation of this Agreement, the services rendered hereunder or any other matter pertaining to this Agreement will be submitted in accordance with the applicable rules of the American Arbitration Association. The parties shall mutually appoint an arbitrator who is knowledgeable and familiar with the professional home inspection industry. Judgment on any award may be entered in any courts having jurisdiction and the arbitration decision shall be binding on all parties. Secondary or consequential damages are specifically excluded. All claims must be presented within one year from the date of inspection. The Company is not liable for any claim presented more than one year after the date of inspection. In the event the Customer commences an arbitration and is unsuccessful in it, the Customer will bear all of the company's expenses incurred in connection therewith including, but not limited to, attorney’s fees and a reasonable fee to the employees of the Company to investigate, prepare for, and attend any proceeding or examination. Customer may not present or pursue any claim against the Company until (1) written notice of the defect or omission is provided to the Company. (2) The Company is provided access to evaluate the defect or omission prior to alterations or repairs. (3) The Company is provided access to and the opportunity to cure the defect.
I have been encouraged to participate in the inspection and accept responsibility for incomplete information should I not participate in the inspection. My participation shall be at my own risk for falls, injuries, property damage, etc.
I accept that this work is no substitute for a pre-settlement inspection for which I am responsible since damages, mechanical failures, and symptoms, cures, etc. may appear after this work and before my legal acceptance of the property. I waive all claims against the inspector of company in the absence of diligently performing my pre-settlement inspection and for lack of more extensive investigation and follow through with a specialist on any problems noted including confirmation of any cost approximations. (Additional Evaluation)
I accept by signing this agreement, I authorize a third party security services company to contact me via email or call me at the phone numbers I have provided to discuss a special alarm offer.
