TERMS AND CONDITIONS THIS CONTRACT LIMITS LIABILITY

THIS AGREEMENT made by and between:

Bob Builder Home Inspections NYS Lic.#16000016805
(Division of Bob Builder Enterprises, Inc.) (hereinafter “INSPECTOR”)
and the undersigned (hereinafter “CLIENT”), collectively referred to
herein as “the parties.”

The Parties Understand and Voluntarily Agree as follows:

INSPECTOR agrees to perform a visual inspection of the
home/building identified at the above address and to provide
CLIENT with a written 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. The
client hereby represents and warrants that all approvals necessary
have been secured for the INSPECTOR'S entrance to the property.

Unless otherwise inconsistent with this Agreement or not possible,
INSPECTOR agrees to perform the inspection in accordance to the
current Standards of Practice of New York State and the Inter-
national Association of Certified Home Inspectors. Although
INSPECTOR agrees to follow New York State's and InterNACHI's
Standards of Practice, CLIENT understands that these standards
contain certain limitations, exceptions, and exclusions. CLIENT
also understands that New York State and InterNACHI is not a
party to this Agreement and that New York State and InterNACHI
has no control over INSPECTOR or representations made by
INSPECTOR and does not supervise INSPECTOR.

Unless otherwise indicated below, CLIENT understands that
INSPECTOR will NOT be testing for the presence of Radon -
a colorless, odorless, radioactive gas that may be harmful to
humans. The U.S Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and
Surgeon General recommend ALL homebuyers have an INDOOR
RADON test conducted. Radon is a Class-A carcinogen and the
2nd leading cause of lung cancer estimated to cause 21,000
deaths in the U.S. annually. All counties in New York State rank
as either "Highest Radon Potential" or "Moderate Radon Potential"
according to the EPA Map of Radon Zones. Unless otherwise
indicated below, CLIENT understands that INSPECTOR will NOT
be testing for mold.

Unless otherwise indicated below, CLIENT understands that
INSPECTOR will not test for compliance with applicable building
codes or for the presence of potential dangers arising from
asbestos, lead paint, formaldehyde, molds, soil contamination,
and other environmental hazards or violations.

The inspection and report are performed and prepared for the
use of CLIENT, who gives INSPECTOR permission to discuss
observations with real estate agents, owners, repairpersons,
and other interested parties. INSPECTOR accepts no
responsibility for use or misinterpretation by third parties.
INSPECTOR's inspection of the property and the accompanying
report are in no way intended to be a guarantee or warranty,
express or implied, regarding the future use, operability,
habitability or suitability of the home/building or its
components. Any and all warranties, express or implied,
including warranties of merchantability and fitness for a
particular purpose, are expressly excluded by this Agreement
to the fullest extent allowed by law. If any structure or portion
of any structure that is to be inspected pursuant to this
Agreement, is a log home, log structure or similar log
construction, CLIENT understands that such structures
have unique characteristics that make it impossible for an
inspector to inspect and evaluate them by an exterior visual
inspection. Therefore, the scope of the inspection to be per-
formed pursuant to this Agreement does not include decay
of the interior of logs in log walls, log foundations or roofs or
similar defects that are not visible by an exterior visual
inspection.

The Written Report to be prepared by the INSPECTOR shall be
considered the final exclusive findings of the INSPECTOR for
the structure. Client understands and agrees they will NOT
rely on any oral statements made by the INSPECTOR prior to
the issuance of the Written Report. Client further understands
and agrees the INSPECTOR reserves the right to modify the
INSPECTION REPORT for a period of time that shall NOT exceed
forty eight (48) hours after the Written Report has first been
delivered to the client.

INSPECTOR assumes no liability for the cost of repair or
replacement of unreported defects or deficiencies either current
or arising in the future. CLIENT acknowledges that the liability
of INSPECTOR, its agents, employees, for claims or damages,
costs of defense or suit, attorney's fees and expenses and
payments arising out of or related to the INSPECTOR's
negligence or breach of any obligation under this Agreement,
including errors and omissions in the inspection or the report,
shall be limited to liquidated damages in an amount equal to
the fee paid to the INSPECTOR, and this liability shall be
exclusive. CLIENT waives any claim for consequential,
exemplary, special or incidental damages or for the loss of the
use of the home/building even if the CLIENT has been advised
of the possibility of such damages. The parties acknowledge
that the liquidated damages are not intended as a penalty but
are intended (i) to reflect the fact that actual damages may be
difficult and impractical to ascertain; (ii) to allocate risk among
the INSPECTOR and CLIENT; and (iii) to enable the INSPECTOR
to perform the inspection at the stated fee.

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. Any agreement for such additional inspections shall
be in a separate writing.

This Inspection Company performs Water Quality Analysis when
requested by the client. The client is to understand that the
Inspection Company obtains the Water Samples, but the Quality
Water Analysis Testing is performed by a NYS NELAP Certified
Lab (Sub-Contractor). The Inspection Company DOES NOT take
part in ANY of the Lab Testing responsibilities.

In the event of a claim against INSPECTOR, CLIENT agrees to
supply INSPECTOR with the following:

(1) Written notification of adverse conditions within 14 days of
discovery, and (2) Access to the premises. Failure to comply with
the above conditions will release INSPECTOR and its agents from
any and all obligations or liability of any kind. The INSPECTOR is
NOT liable for ANY claim presented more than 12 months AFTER
the DATE of the Inspection.

The parties agree that any litigation arising out of this Agreement
shall be filed only in the Court having jurisdiction in the County
in which the INSPECTOR has its principal place of business. In the
event that CLIENT fails to prove any adverse claims against
INSPECTOR in a court of law, CLIENT agrees to pay all legal costs,
expenses and fees of INSPECTOR in defending said claims. CLIENT
further understands that any legal action against InterNACHI itself
allegedly arising out of this Agreement or INSPECTOR's
relationship with InterNACHI must be brought only in the District
Court of Boulder County, Colorado.

If any court declares any provision of this Agreement invalid or
unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in effect.
This Agreement represents the entire agreement between the
parties. All prior communications are merged into this Agreement,
and there are no terms or conditions other than those set forth
herein. No statement or promise of INSPECTOR or its agents shall
be binding unless reduced to writing and signed by INSPECTOR.
No change or modification shall be enforceable against any party
unless such change or modification is in writing and signed by
the parties. This Agreement shall be binding upon and
enforceable by the parties and their heirs, executors,
administrators, successors and assignees. CLIENT shall have no
cause of action against INSPECTOR after one year from the date
of the inspection.

The INSPECTOR requires an INSPECTION AGREEMENT to be
signed by the client PRIOR to he/she performing the
inspection. The client understands and agrees that if they are
NOT PRESENT at the time of inspection and/or DO NOT SIGN
this agreement that this agreement will form a part of the
INSPECTION REPORT and shall act as acceptance of the
INSPECTION REPORT by the client and payment therefore will
constitute acceptance of the terms and conditions of this
agreement. ( CLARIFICATION: "If you, the client, is not present
at the inspection and/or did NOT sign this agreement, you, by
accepting, paying for and/or using the WRITTEN REPORT, you
acknowledge and agree to be bound by the terms and
conditions of this Inspection agreement and further agree
that the agreement will form part of the WRITTEN REPORT.")

Payment of the fee to INSPECTOR (less any deposits) is due
upon completion of the on-site inspection if not paid prior
to the inspection. The CLIENT agrees to pay all legal and
time expenses incurred in collecting due payments, including
attorney's fees, if any. If CLIENT is a corporation, LLC, or similar
entity, the person signing this Agreement on behalf of such
entity does personally guaranty payment of the fee by the entity.

Paragraph SP1 - THE FOLLOWING IS ONLY FOR SPECIAL
CIRCUMSTANCES AND THE INSPECTION FEE MAY INCLUDE

agrees to indemnify, release, and hold harmless the title
company or closing agent, their employees and agents, from
any liability or claims allegedly arising out of any such
