Please print this page and fax to 303-484-0415 (FAX)

THIS AGREEMENT, made and entered into is by and between the Client (signed below) and, InspectCO, LLC, hereafter referred to as "Inspector". Inspector will conduct a visual inspection of the Property only. This is not a Building Code inspection, title examination, or a By-law compliance inspection unless otherwise stated in writing. The Inspector is not required offer an opinion as to the advisability or inadvisability of the purchase of the property, its value or its potential use. The inspection fee is based on a single visit to the property at our standard hourly rate of $200.00 per hour; additional fees may be charged for any subsequent visits required by the Client. If the Inspector is called upon to prepare for litigation or give testimony as a result of the inspection, additional fees shall be charged at the Inspector's then current hourly rate for any time spent, including, but not limited to, research, consultation, additional inspection time, preparation of reports, travel, time waiting to testify, and court appearances.

The Client will receive a written report of Inspector's observations of the visible and accessible features of the Property. Subject to the terms and conditions stated herein, the inspection includes the visual examination of the home's exterior including roof and exterior of the chimney, structure, electrical, heating and cooling systems, visible portions of the insulation, plumbing, and interior including floors, walls, ceiling and windows; it is a reasonable effort to disclose the condition of the house based on a visual inspection. Additionally, Inspector will functionally operate major built-in appliances. Conditions beyond the scope of the inspection will not be identified. No engineering services are offered unless specifically requested by the buyer in writing (additional fees apply).

This Inspection Report is based on the condition of the Property existing and apparent as of the time and date of the inspection. Not all conditions may be apparent on the inspection date due to weather conditions, inoperable systems, inaccessibility of areas of the Property, etc. Without dismantling the house or its systems, there are limitations to the inspection. Throughout any inspection, inferences are drawn which cannot be confirmed by direct observation. Clues and symptoms often do not reveal the extent or severity of problems. Therefore, the inspection and subsequent Inspection Report may help reduce the risk of purchasing the property; however, an inspection does not eliminate such risk nor does the Inspector assume such risk. While some of the less important deficiencies are addressed, an all inclusive list of minor building flaws is not provided. Inspector is neither responsible nor liable for the non-discovery of any patent or latent defects in materials, workmanship, or other conditions of the Property, or any other problems which may occur or may become evident after the inspection time and date. Inspector is neither an insurer nor guarantor against defects in the building and improvements, systems or components inspected. Inspector makes no warranty, express or implied, as to the fitness for use or condition of the systems or components inspected. Inspector assumes no responsibility for the cost of repairing or replacing any unreported defects or conditions, nor is Inspector responsible or liable for any future failures or repairs.

Inspector and its employees are limited in liability to the fee paid for the inspection services and report in the event that Client or any third party claims that Inspector is in any way liable for negligently performing the inspection or in preparing the Inspection Report, or for any other reason or claim that Inspector has not fully satisfied all its obligations hereunder. Client hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Inspector if any third party brings a claim against Inspector relating to the inspection or Inspection Report

Inspections are visual, and are not technically exhaustive. The following items are specifically excluded from the inspection: water softening systems, security systems, telephone and cable TV cables, timing systems, swimming pools and spas, underground or concealed pipes, sewer lines, septic systems, hidden electrical lines and circuits, central vacuum systems, central air conditioning when outside temperature is below 60° F or 15° C, and any other condition, item, system or component which by the nature of their location are concealed or otherwise difficult to inspect or which the Inspector cannot visually examine. Excluded is the assurance of a dry basement or crawl space; also excluded is the assurance that double and triple pane glazing seals in windows are intact. Inspector will not dismantle any component or system; full evaluation of the integrity of a heat exchanger requires dismantling of the furnace and is beyond the scope of a visual inspection; Inspector will not conduct geological tests; will not inspect inaccessible or concealed areas of the Property; will not enter dangerous areas of the Property; will not inspect for environmental concerns such as hazardous substances or gasses, including but not limited to, mold, radon gas, asbestos, formaldehyde; or for pests such as wood destroying organisms, insects, or rodents; or for fungus unless these items are specifically requested in writing (additional fees apply). Inspector examines a representative sample of components according to the ASHI (American Society of Home Inspectors) Standard of Practice that are identical and numerous, such as electrical outlets, bricks, shingles, windows, etc., and does not examine every single one of these identical items, therefore, some detectable deficiencies may go unreported.

The inspection excludes defects such as cracking, leaking, surface discoloration's, or landslides resulting from hidden defects, including but not limited to, water leaks, land subsidence, or other geological problems. The inspection also excludes merely cosmetic features, including but not limited to, paint, wall coverings, carpeting, floorings, paneling, lawn, and shrubs. The Inspector is not required to determine property boundary lines or encroachments.

Any controversy or claim between the parties hereto, arising directly or indirectly out of, connected with, or relating to the interpretation of this Agreement, the scope of the services rendered by Inspector, the Inspection Report provided to the Client by Inspector, or as to any other matter involving any act or omission performed under this Agreement, or promises, representations or negotiations concerning duties of the Inspector hereunder, shall be submitted to mediation. If the dispute cannot be resolved through mediation, litigation must be brought in jurisdiction that the InspectCO Limited Liability Corporation is filed. Secondary or consequential damages are specifically excluded. In the event that any dispute arises out of the Inspection or Report, and proceedings are commenced by the Client, if the Client is unsuccessful in maintaining the claim beyond the inspection fee, then the Client shall be liable to the Inspector for all charges, expenses, costs and legal fees incurred by the Inspector on a complete indemnity basis, including a reasonable fee for all the time spent by the Inspector or Inspector's personnel in investigating, research, preparation for, and attendance at court hearings and examinations. Any claims must be presented within one (I) year from the date of the inspection; Inspector shall have no liability for any claims presented one (1) year after the date of the inspection.

Client guarantees Inspector a right to examine the subject matter and area of any claim and offer a resolution prior to Client's performance of remedial measures (except in the event of an emergency, or to protect for personal safety, or to reduce or avoid damage to property). This is a condition precedent to Client's claim.

This Agreement and the documents referred to herein constitute the entire Agreement between the parties hereto, and supersede any and all prior representations, discussions, or agreements, whether written or oral. No amendment, change, or variance from this Agreement shall be binding on either party unless mutually agreed to, in writing, and signed by the parties hereto. If any provision of this Agreement is held invalid or unenforceable by any court of final jurisdiction, it is the intent of the parties that all other provisions of this Agreement be construed to remain fully valid, enforceable, and binding on the parties.

THE INSPECTION REPORT DOES NOT CONSTITUTE A WARRANTY, GUARANTEE OR INSURANCE POLICY OF ANY KIND. THERE ARE NO WARRANTIES MADE AGAINST ROOF LEAKS, WET BASEMENTS, OR MECHANICAL BREAKDOWNS. THE REPORT IS A PROFESSIONAL OPINION BASED ON A VISUAL INSPECTION OF THE ACCESSIBLE AREAS AND FEATURES OF THE PROPERTY AS OF THE DATE AND TIME OF THE INSPECTION AND IS NOT A LISTING OF REPAIRS TO BE MADE. THE REPORT IS NOT AN ASSESSMENT NOR IS IT AN APPRAISAL. THE INSPECTOR IS NOT ASSOCIATED WITH ANY SELLER, BUYER, CONTRACTOR, LAWYER OR REALTOR. OTHER THAN THE INSPECTION FEE, INSPECTOR HAS NO FINANCIAL INTEREST IN THE PROPERTY. THE INSPECTION PROCESS IS A TWO PART SYSTEM: THE VERBAL SURVEY AND THE REPORT. AS SUCH, THE REPORT IS NOT TRANSFERABLE TO THIRD PARTIES AS IT WILL NOT CLEARLY CONVEY ALL WRITTEN AND VERBAL INFORMATION HEREIN. THIS REPORT IS PREPARED BY INSPECTOR AT YOUR REQUEST, ON YOUR BEHALF, AND FOR YOUR USE AND BENEFIT ONLY; THE INSPECTION REPORT IS THE PROPERTY OF INSPECTCO, LLC AND MAY BE USED BY INSPECTCO FOR REFERENCE, INSPECTOR TRAINING OR MARKETING.
