PRE-INSPECTION AGREEMENT
(Please read carefully)

WRK Inspections agrees to conduct a BASIC inspection for the purpose of informing the Client of the major deficiencies in the condition of the property subject to the terms of this Agreement. A written inspection report will be provided for the sole, exclusive use and possession of the Client. If Client provides a copy of this report to any third party, Client agrees to allow inspector to explain or clarify said report upon request by any such third parties. Said inspection will be performed in a professional, workmanlike manner.

The inspection report will include only readily accessible and structural mechanical areas of the structure and is limited to visual observations of apparent conditions of operability and function existing at the time of the inspection. Any area which is not exposed to view, is concealed, or is inaccessible because of soil, walls, floors, carpets, ceilings, furnishings or any other things is not included in this inspection. Client agrees to assume all risk for all conditions which are concealed from view at the time of the inspection. Latent, concealed defects and deficiencies and inspection for wood-destroying organisms are excluded from this inspection; grading and drainage of the property, unless directly affecting the condition of the structure, are excluded from this inspection; equipment, items, and systems will not be dismantled; furniture, debris, carpeting or like materials will not be removed by inspector.

This report is not a compliance inspection or certification for past or present governmental codes or regulations of any kind. Maintenance and other items may be discussed but they are not a part of this inspection.

The inspection and report do not address and are not intended to address possible presence or danger from any potentially harmful substances and environmental hazards including, but not limited to, radon gas, lead paint, asbestos urea formaldehyde, toxic or flammable chemicals, and water and airborne hazards. Also excluded from this report are inspections of: swimming pools, hot tubs, wells, septic systems, security systems, central vacuum, water softeners, sprinkler systems, fire and safety equipment, and determination of the presence or absence of rodents, termites and other insects.

It is understood and agreed by the undersigned Client and any other person who relies on this Agreement or subsequent inspection report that the Company, or any of its agents or employees, be found liable, whether as a result of negligence, breach of contact, violation of statutory rights or otherwise, for any loss or damage resulting from either failure to perform or failure to properly perform any part of the inspection, the liability of WRK Inspections and such agents and employees shall be limited to a refund of the fee paid for this inspection report. It is further understood and agreed that the limitation is binding on Client and Client’s spouse, heirs, principals, or assignments to anyone else who may otherwise make claim through Client. Client assumes the risk of all losses greater that the fee paid for the inspection and agrees to immediately accept a refund as full settlement of any and all claims that may ever arise from this inspection.
I HAVE READ AND AGREE TO THIS PARAGRAPH.

Client promises Company that Client has requested this inspection for Client’s own use and will not disclose any part of the Inspection Report to any other person except those necessary to this transaction. It is agreed that, in the absence of the Client’s signature on this Agreement, usage of the Inspection Report by the Client, or the Client’s representative, will be the same as agreeing to the terms herein.
