LIMITATIONS:
We do not remove floor and wall coverings; move furniture; open walls or perform any type of destructive inspection. Certain structural areas are considered inaccessible and impractical to inspect, including but not limited to: areas to which there is no access without defacing lumber, masonry, roofing; workmanship; insulation; belongings; equipment; ongoing renovations; areas where locks prevent access; and vegetation (the “Inaccessible Areas”). The Inaccessible Areas may be subject to attack by microbial organisms. The Inspector cannot render any opinion regarding areas that are inaccessible.
You understand and agree that any claim(s) or complaint(s) arising out of or relating to any alleged act or omission in connection with the Inspection shall be reported to us, in writing, within ten (10) business days of discovery. Unless there is an emergency condition, you agree to allow us a reasonable period of time to investigate the claim(s) or complaint(s) by, among other things, re-inspection, repairs, replacements, alterations or modifications to the system or component that is the subject of the claim. You understand and agree that any failure to notify us in a timely manner and allow adequate time to investigate as stated above shall constitute a complete waiver of any and all claims you may have against us related to the alleged act or omission unless otherwise prohibited by law.
The results of our environmental assessments are not a guarantee that mould, asbestos, lead, radon or another hazardous substance does or does not exist in the Subject Property; the results are indicative only of the presence or absence of hazardous substances in the areas sampled at the time the testing is performed. If the collected samples in the report show elevated levels of hazardous substances and we recommend further action, including but not limited to consulting with a specialized expert(s), you must take such action at your own expense or otherwise assume all risk associated with failure to do so.
In the event of legal action between or among the parties, the Client(s) agree(s) that any liability of the Inspector is limited to a refund of the fee paid for the services.
Any legal action arising from this Agreement or from the sampling or report(s) shall be commenced within one (1) year from the date of the Inspection. The Client hereby waives his, her, their or its right to bring or assign any claim or action after such time and waives any rights arising therefrom.
