Inspection Agreements for Home Inspectors

Home Inspectors

Area of Study: Inspection Agreements, Law

The Instructor will cover the basic legal principles behind what makes a contract enforceable in a court or arbitration. Focus will be on common terms found in home inspection agreements, identifying key areas including communicating the scope of an inspection and its exclusions to better provide the inspector’s client with critical details about how the work will be performed. Limitation of liability and other “defensive” clauses will be discussed, along with arbitration, what industry or regulatory standards govern what you can include, and the timing of execution and delivery.
