The written Inspection report, together with this Agreement, represents the final statement on the condition of the water well as inspected, and the final statement of what was included and/or excluded in the Well Inspection.
NO WARRANTY & LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
The Well Inspection is intended to reduce risk but cannot eliminate risk. The Client acknowledges that the Inspector will not observe the below-grade portions of the well casing, that the Inspector could fail to see or not a defect, and that defects may exist that cannot be detected by visual inspection and/or a well pump flow test. The Client agrees that the Inspection and report in no way lessens the risk or likelihood of repairs or replacements being needed at any time in the future.
The Well Inspection and report do not constitute a warranty or guarantee of any kind, expressed or implied.
The Inspector and their employees or agents shall not be held liable for the cost of repairing any defects or deficiencies, whether present at the time of the Inspection or arising in the future, or for any consequential property damage or bodily injury of any nature.

CONTACT: Should the Client have a complaint against the Inspector prior to any alteration, repair or replacement, the Client shall provide reasonable notice to and permit an inspection of the condition(s) which gave rise to the complaint. The Client agrees to hold harmless the Inspector for any and all claims relating to conditions that are altered or repaired without said notice or inspection.
ARBITRATION: Unresolved disputes, except for non-payment of fees, shall proceed to binding arbitration conducted in accordance with the construction industry rules of the American Arbitration Association, except that the parties shall select an arbitrator who is familiar with the real estate inspection profession. The arbitrator shall conduct summary judgement motions and enforce full discovery rights as would a court and shall follow the substantive rules of law.
