Inspection Agreement
The parties understand and voluntarily agree as follows: The property inspection is conducted according to the Standards of Practice set forth by the Texas Real Estate Commission. A copy of which is available from their website at: www.trec.state.tx.us SCOPE: This inspection is good only for the day that it was performed. Conditions of the structure and its components can change from one day to the next. This is a visual inspection only. We inspect only what we see. We do not disassemble anything. We do not inspect for any environmental issues such as lead paint, lead plumbing, asbestos, etc. We do not inspect for mold, as special licensing and training is required. An independent inspection should be done by an environmental testing company if there has been any water leak or excess moisture that has gone behind the walls, through the roof or under the flooring. The inspector takes no responsibility for what cannot be visibly seen at the time of inspection. We do not inspect for the city building codes, soil analysis, adequacy of design, capacity, efficiency, size, value, flood plain location, pollution or habitability. Please remember that older houses do not meet the same standards as newer houses, even though items in both might be performing the function for which they are intended. We do not hold ourselves to be specialists for any particular item, nor are we engineers. We are a general real estate inspection company. This inspection report covers only items listed in the report that are reasonably observable and are based on the present condition of those items. For example, we do not move furniture, rugs, paintings or other furnishings. There is no responsibility expressed or implied for latent defects or for defects not reasonably observable at the time of inspection or for defects that would require the removal of major or permanent coverings for observation. No representation is made as to the future performance of any item. There are NO WARRANTIES, either expressed or implied. If you would like a warranty or guarantee you must obtain it from a warranty company. When an item is noted as not functioning or in need of repair, replacement or for further evaluation by a specialist, the Purchaser agrees to contact a qualified specialist to make further evaluations of the item. We do not inspect for wood destroying insects (termites), water wells, septic systems, security systems, low voltage wiring, refrigerators, ice makers or fire protection equipment as special training and certifications are required. Information in this report may not be altered in any way. Clarification is to be obtained from the inspector. Dispute Resolution: In the event a dispute arises regarding this inspection, the purchaser agrees to notify the inspection company, so as to give reasonable opportunity to reinspect the property. Purchaser further agrees that the inspection company can either conduct the reinspection itself or can employ others (at its expense to reinspect the property, or both). Further, client agrees that the maximum liability for Craftsman Inspections shall be LIMITED TO AN AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED THE FEE PAID FOR THE INSPECTION. Defense Costs: In the event the purchaser files suit against the inspection company, or its inspector, the purchaser agrees to pay all the company's legal fees, cost of the expert witnesses, court cost, costs of depositions and all other such expenses incurred by the inspection company if the purchaser fails to prevail in the lawsuit. If the dispute cannot be settled, then the purchaser agrees to enter into Arbitration with the Inspector having the Texas Real Estate Commission as the Sole Arbitrator. EXCLUSIVITY: The report is prepared exclusively for the Client(s) named and is not transferable to anyone in any form. Client(s) gives permission for the inspection report findings to be delivered to their real estate agent and discussed with real estate agents, specialists or repair persons for the sake of clarification. By the client(s) signature below and/or the acceptance of this report, they acknowledge that they have read this agreement and limitations and that they understand the terms and conditions and agree to be bound by these.
