Welch Inspections.
Pre-Inspection Agreement
Welch Inspections, herein after known as the Inspector agrees to conduct an inspection for the purpose of informing the client of major deficiencies in the condition of the subject property. THE WRITTEN REPORT IS THE PROPERTY OF THE INSPECTOR.
1) This inspection of the subject property shall be performed by the Inspector for the Client in accordance with the Standards of Practice of the International Association of Certified Home Inspectors. http://www.nachi.org/sop.htm
2) The 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. F.L.I.R. or Theral Imaging is NOT an X-Ray, It detects tempature 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, or for any consequential property damage or bodily injury of any nature. Company is neither a guarantor or insurer.
4) THE INSPECTION AND REPORT DO NOT ADDRESS AND ARE NOT INTENDED TO ADDRESS CODE AND REGULATION COMPLIANCE, THE POSSIBLE PRESENCE OF OR DANGER FROM ASBESTOS, RADON GAS, LEAD PAINT, UREA FORMALDEHYDE, MOLD, SOIL CONTAMINATION AND OTHER INDOOR AND OUTDOOR SUBSTANCES. THE CLIENT IS URGED TO CONTACT A COMPETENT SPECIALIST IF INFORMATION, IDENTIFICATION, OR TESTING OF THE ABOVE IS DESIRED.
5) The Client agrees that the liability of Welch Inspections and of its inspectors, employees or agents for claims or damages arising out of errors or omissions in the inspection or report SHALL BE LIMITED TO THE AMOUNT OF THE FEE FOR THIS INSPECTION. This amount shall be deemed liquidated damages, and the Client agrees to immediately accept a refund of the Fee as a full settlement of any and all claims which may arise from the inspection.
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.
7) Each party signing for the Client represents that they have full authority to make this agreement on behalf of the Client. If this agreement is
signed on behalf of the Client by any third party, the person signing this agreement expressly represents to Welch Inspections that they have
the full authority to execute this agreement on behalf of the Client, and to fully bind the Client to all of the terms and conditions of this agreement.
8) Payment is due at the time of Inspection and is payable by Personal or Cashiers check. CLIENT agrees to hold any and all real estate agents involved in the purchase of the property to be inspected harmless and keep them exonerated from all loss, damage, liability or expense occasioned or claimed by reasons of acts or neglects of the INSPECTOR or his employees or visitors or of independent contractors engaged or paid by INSPECTOR for the purpose of inspecting the subject home.
9) The undersigned acknowledges that they have read this agreement, fully understand the agreement, agree to be bound by the agreement, including the terms, conditions and limitations described above, and have received a copy of the agreement.
