Drawing from 20 years of experience refining inspection agreements with national and local attorneys, we explore the crucial legal clauses that have repeatedly saved home inspectors from unnecessary liability and litigation.
• Third-party protection clause prevents contractors, attorneys, and others from misinterpreting your report and holding you liable
• Claim notification requirements demand clients provide written notice within 14 days of discovery via certified mail
• Insurance company disclaimers prevent your reports from being misused for insurance purposes
• Binding arbitration clauses discourage frivolous claims by requiring significant financial commitment from potential litigants
• Specialist investigation clauses protect you when clients ignore recommendations and problems escalate
• Opinion clauses shield inspectors from contractors and code officials who contradict findings
• Recording prohibition prevents clients from using your statements against you
• Equipment usage restrictions prevent client injuries on your ladders and tools
• Property access verification ensures you have permission to be on the premises
• Cancellation policies with graduated fees discourage last-minute cancellations
• Rights to terminate services allow inspectors to walk away from unsafe conditions
We are not attorneys - so check with a qualified attorney before implementing anything from this podcast or any clauses in your agreements, as laws vary significantly by state. This is not legal advice - just our own experience.
