SCOPE OF THE INSPECTION. This Inspection is a limited visual examination of certain readily accessible systems and components (designated for inspection herein) using normal operating controls and opening readily openable access panels. The purpose of the Inspection is to provide you with information about the condition of certain systems and components of the home at the time of the Inspection. The inspection will be performed in accordance with the technical guidelines of the American Society of Home Inspectors (“ASHI”) (referred to herein as “inspection guidelines”). (A copy of the inspection guidelines are available from us upon request and should be reviewed by you prior to accepting our service.) The inspection guidelines are hereby incorporated by reference in their entirety and are hereby made a part of this Agreement. All terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meaning set forth in the inspection guidelines. See “Additional Services” section below. This inspection shall also comply with the Standards of Practice of the Mississippi Real Estate Commission. (See Mississippi Standards of Practice Section below.) The inspector is a generalist and is not a licensed engineer or expert in any specific craft or trade. If the inspector recommends further action, including (but not lim ited to) consulting with a specialized expert(s), you must do so at your expense or otherwise assume all risks associated with failure to do so. This Inspection is not technically exhaustive. The fee charged for this Inspection is substantially less than that of a technically exhaustive inspection. A written inspection report (Report) will be provided describing the following systems and components: structural components (including foundation and framing), exterior, roof system, plumbing system, electrical system, heating system, installed central and through-wall air conditioning systems, interiors, insulation & ventilation, and fireplaces & solid fuel burning appliances. The Report will identify the following: (a) which systems and components designated for inspection herein are, in the professional opinion of the inspector, significantly deficient or near the end of their service life, (b) why the inspector deems the system or component to be significantly deficient or near the end of its service life, (c) whether further evaluation, correction or monitoring is needed, and (d) whether any system or component described herein was not inspected and why it was not inspected.

SCOPE OF THE INSPECTION. The “General” home inspection is a non-invasive physical examination of the readily accessible built-in appliances, mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems, and the essential internal and external structural components of the residential dwelling under the standards and scope for home inspections established by the International Association of Certified Home Inspectors and the Standards and Practices as published by the State of South Dakota. The inspector is not an expert in every craft or profession. Therefore, the “General” home inspection that we will conduct is not technically exhaustive. The fee charged for these services is substantially less than that of a technically exhaustive inspection. The inspection is designed only to identify material defects in those systems and components of the Property exposed to view and apparent as of the day of the inspection. See the “Specific Exclusions” sections for the services that are excluded from this general inspection. A written inspection report (Report) will be prepared that describes and identifies the inspected systems, structures or components of the dwelling that were inspected, any material defects identified to be in need of immediate repair, and any recommendations regarding the conditions observed or recommendations for further evaluation by appropriate persons. Style, aesthetics, design flaws and hidden defects will not be considered in determining whether a system, structure, or component is defective. The Report reflects an observation of certain listed items of the Property as of the date and time of the inspection and is not a list of repairs to be made. The Report is not intended for use in renegotiating the sale of the Property. Your real estate agent can help you determine which items are eligible for negotiation under the terms of the sale contract. The seller may or may not be required to repair deficiencies reflected in this report. Items not listed in the inspection report were not inspected. ADDITIONAL SERVICES: We may be able to perform any one or more of the Ancillary Services listed in this agreement. Unless you request Ancillary Services by checking the appropriate line beside the desired service and we agree to perform the Ancillary Service by executing this Agreement, this Agreement is for the general home inspection only and does not include the other Ancillary Services, including but not limited to the following: carbon monoxide test, radon gas test, water analysis, wood ...
