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.

A written inspection report will describe and identify the inspected systems, structures, or components of the building inspected, and shall list any unsafe or non-functioning systems, structures, and components observed during the inspection. The inspection report is a written opinion of a trained home inspector based upon what was visible and evident at the time of the inspection. The report is not a listing of repairs to be made and is not intended for use as a guide in re-negotiating a real estate transaction. Items that are not listed in the inspection report were not inspected and are not included under the scope of the inspection service provided. It is agreed that the inspector is not, as part of the inspection, determining compliance with installation guidelines, construction documents, manufactures specifications, building codes, local ordinances, zoning regulations, covenants, or other restrictions, including local interpretations thereof. If this is a "verbal" inspection you agree that there shall be no legal liability for the inspection until/unless a full written inspection report is requested and paid for within 7 calendar days of the inspection.
