Inspection Report Terms and Conditions
1. The Report is expressly produced for the sole use of the Client. Legal liability is limited to the Client.
2. No advice is given regarding the presence, or effect, of termites on the Property. A specialist company should be approached to provide such certification if required.
3. Any dimensions given are approximate only. Should any dimensions be considered critical or important, they should be accurately measured.
4. The Client acknowledges, and agrees that any comments contained in the Report relating to matters of an electrical or plumbing nature are based on a visual inspection only carried out by the Inspector on the day of the inspection, and should not in any way be relied upon by the Client as a substitute for obtaining expert professional advice from a licensed electrician or plumber.
5. Any charge-out rate quoted relates to normal work and is not applicable for work relating to arbitration, mediation, conciliation, expert witness, court appearance, document preparation, or any other legal application.

7. We have not inspected framework or other parts of the structure/property that are covered, unexposed or inaccessible, and are therefore unable to report that any such part of the structure is free from defect.

13. To the extent permitted by law, liability under any condition or warranty that cannot legally be excluded, is limited to supplying the Report again, or paying the cost of having the Report supplied again.
