- Inspect-a-Home will endeavour to provide a report in accordance with latest developments in the building and construction industry, in particular the SABS 0400 and NHBRC Building regulations, but, given this complex and dynamic environment, does not guarantee such provision
- Inspect-a-Home will provide the client with an estimate of the anticipated costs involved for the remedy of defects, based on Inspect-a-Home’s experience in the building industry. However, Inspect-a-Home does not provide such repair or building services. Such estimated costs are subject to change upon further inspection by the expert service provider concerned.
- Despite all reasonable endeavours, Inspect-a-Home gives no guarantee that the inspection will identify each and every defect, whether latent or patent, or other snag or deficiency.

- Inspect-a-Home will not and may not be required to drill into, remove or destroy any part of the property, including dismantling or moving of goods.
- Client will and undertakes to arrange any security passes, permission and access to keys, ensuring Inspect-a-Home is granted free, unfettered and lawful access to the property, and give Inspect-a-Home timeous notification of the access arrangements. Where, for whatever reason, Inspect-a-Home is unable to gain access to areas of the property, including cupboards, locked rooms, ceilings etc, Inspect-a-Home will complete the inspection to the best of its ability.
- The client undertakes to ensure that all valuables and confidential or other sensitive items are removed whilst the inspection takes place. If this is not possible, the client will ensure a responsible person is present for the duration of the inspection. Inspect-a-Home cannot be held responsible for any breakages, theft or other losses.
- In the event of dispute between the parties in relation to the outcome of the inspection, the client will grant Inspect-a Home access to the Property to redo the inspection.
- Inspect-a-Home will not be responsible to the client for any direct or consequential damages, or any loss of profit or special damages that the client or any third party may suffer for any reason. The client indemnifies Inspect-a-Home against any such claims. To the extent that Inspect-a- Home may have been negligent, the maximum limit of the client’s claim against Inspect-a-Home will be the fee charged for the inspection in dispute.
