GUARANTEES to perform a visual inspection of the home and to provide CLIENT
with a written or verbal inspection report identifying the defects that
INSPECTOR both observed and deemed material. INSPECTOR may offer comments as a
courtesy, but these comments will not comprise the bargained-for report. The
report is only supplementary to the seller’s disclosure.

5. INSPECTOR does not perform engineering, architectural, plumbing, or any other job function requiring an occupational license in the jurisdiction where the inspection is taking place, unless the inspector holds a valid occupational license, in which case he/she may inform the CLIENT that he/she is so licensed, and is therefore qualified to go beyond this basic home inspection, and for additional fee, perform additional inspections beyond those within the scope of the basic home inspection.

breach of contract, any form of negligence, fraud or misrepresentation or any
other theory of liability arising out of from or related to, this contract or
