Entered into by and between Vertice Home Inspections and the Client.
This Agreement governs the inspection services requested by the client and sets forth the complete understanding between the parties regarding the scope of the inspection, the limitations of the services provided, the responsibilities of each party, and the legal terms applicable to the inspection and the resulting inspection report.
By electronically signing this Agreement, the client confirms that they have carefully read, fully understood, and voluntarily accepted every provision contained herein.
No inspection services shall be performed until this Agreement has been executed electronically and payment has been received in accordance with the Company's payment policy.
PURPOSE OF THE INSPECTION
The purpose of the inspection is to provide the Client with a professional visual assessment of the observable condition of the property at the time and date of the inspection.
The inspection is intended to assist the Client in making an informed real estate decision. It is not intended to eliminate all risks associated with purchasing, selling, owning, or occupying the property.
The inspection represents the professional opinion of the Inspector based solely upon the visible and readily accessible conditions existing at the time of the inspection.
Because buildings, building systems, mechanical equipment, structural components, and environmental conditions continually change, no inspection can predict future performance, future failures, hidden defects, concealed conditions, or conditions that become apparent after the inspection has been completed.

"Inspection" means a limited, non-invasive, visual examination of the readily accessible systems and components of the property.

"Visible" means plainly observable without dismantling, damaging, disassembling, removing, or altering any component.
"Defect" means a condition that, in the professional judgment of the Inspector at the time of inspection, has a significant adverse impact on the value of the property, poses an unreasonable risk to people, or requires major repair or replacement.
"Material Defect" means a defect that substantially affects the function, safety, habitability, or structural integrity of a readily accessible component.
