THIS AGREEMENT is made and entered into by and between Insight Home Inspection Services, LLC referred to as "Inspector", and the undersigned Client.
In consideration of the promise and terms of this Agreement, the parties agree as follows:
1. Engagement and Fee. The Client will pay the agreed-upon sum for a limited repair verification inspection (the "Inspection") of the property located at the property address specified above.
2. This Is Not a Home Inspection. THE INSPECTION IS NOT A HOME INSPECTION. The Inspection is limited solely to the specific repair items identified in the repair request list, repair amendment, and/or original inspection report excerpts provided by the Client (the "Repair Items"). The Repair Items provided by the Client exclusively define the scope of the Inspection. No attempt will be made to perform a complete home inspection or to evaluate any system, component, or condition of the property not directly related to the Repair Items, and the Inspector makes no representation regarding any such system, component, or condition.
3. Original Inspection Performed by Others. The Inspector did not perform the original home inspection of the property. The original inspection report was prepared by another inspection company and is used solely as a reference to identify the Repair Items to be verified. The Inspector does not adopt, endorse, or verify the findings of the original inspection report, makes no representation as to its accuracy or completeness, and assumes no liability or responsibility for any error, omission, or deficiency in the original inspection, the original inspection report, or the repair list provided by the Client.
4. Method of Inspection. Repair Items will be evaluated by visual inspection only, where readily accessible at the time of the Inspection. No destructive testing, dismantling of components, moving of personal property, or evaluation of concealed conditions will be performed. Latent and concealed defects and deficiencies are excluded from the Inspection.
5. Repair Status Reporting. For each Repair Item, the written report will state one of the following conditions: (a) repair appears complete based on visible conditions; (b) repair appears incomplete; (c) repair could not be verified due to limited access or concealed conditions; or (d) additional evaluation or corrective work by a qualified contractor is recommended.
6. No Warranty or Certification. Verification of a repair does not constitute a warranty, guarantee, certification, or approval of the quality of workmanship, code compliance, permitting, or future performance of the repair. Hidden defects or deficiencies may still exist. INSPECTOR MAKES NO WARRANTY, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, AS TO THE FITNESS FOR USE, CONDITION, PERFORMANCE OR ADEQUACY OF ANY REPAIR, STRUCTURE, ITEM, COMPONENT, OR SYSTEM. The Inspector is not an insurer or guarantor of any repair or of any structure, item, component, or system.
7. Limitation of Liability. The parties agree and understand that the Inspector and its employees and its agents assume no liability or responsibility for the costs of repairing or replacing any unreported defects or deficiencies either current or arising in the future or any property damage, consequential damage or bodily injury of any nature. If repairs or replacement are done without giving the Inspector the required notice, the Inspector will have no liability to the Client. The Client further agrees that the Inspector is liable only up to the cost of the Inspection. This clause may be contrary to local law. Please verify applicability.
8. Notice Before Further Work; Time Limit on Claims. In the event of a claim by the Client that a Repair Item was not in the condition reported by the Inspector, the Client agrees to notify the Inspector at least 72 hours prior to repairing, replacing, or altering such item. Any legal action arising out of this Agreement or the Inspection must be brought within two (2) years from the date of the Inspection, or will be deemed waived and forever barred.
9. Exclusive Use. The Inspection and report are performed and prepared for the sole and exclusive use and possession of the Client. No other person or entity may rely on the report issued pursuant to this Agreement. In the event that any person, not a party to this Agreement, makes any claim against Inspector, its employees or agents, arising out of the services performed by Inspector under this Agreement, the Client agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Inspector from any and all damages, expenses, costs, and attorney fees arising from such a claim.
10. Nature of the Report. The report is solely a visual verification of the specific Repair Items observed on the date of the Inspection. The Inspection is not an appraisal of value or a survey, does not determine whether the property is insurable, and the report is not a compliance inspection or certification for past or present governmental codes or regulations of any kind.
11. If Client is married, Client represents that this obligation is a family obligation incurred in the interest of the family.
12. Entire Agreement. This Agreement represents the entire agreement between the parties and there are no other agreements either written or oral between them. This Agreement shall be amended only by written agreement signed by both parties. This Agreement shall be construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of TN.
