This liability limitation is binding on Customer and Customer's spouse, heirs, principals, assigns and anyone else who may otherwise submit a claim through the Customer. Customer assumes the risk of all losses greater than the fee paid for the inspection. Customer agrees to immediately accept a refund of the fee as full settlement of any and all claims that may arise from this inspection. This liability limitation may be removed by electing to have an exhaustive inspection under separate direction, contract and scope at an estimated cost of 3 to 4 times that of a limited visual inspection. If a dispute arises from the inspection, Customer agrees not to alter, repair or modify any disputed component or condition without the Company re-inspecting the situation following written notice from Customer. Failure of Customer to provide written notice and the opportunity to re-inspect the component or condition prior to repair shall result in the forfeiture of Customers right to a claim/refund.

Customer is responsible for any damage caused to property components and systems resulting from the inspection. The inspection is performed for the purpose of informing the Customer of the condition of the property on the day of the inspection. If any stated limitation or standard is exceeded it is done solely at the inspectors option and does not void the terms and conditions of this contract.

Without dismantling the house and its systems there are limitations to such an inspection.
