inspection. It is virtually impossible to fully profile any building with any
reporting system. Unless the Client attends and participates in the inspection
process itself, the Client will have no chance of gaining all the information
that is offered.

to the Client, and new, or additional information is made available to the
Inspector, the Inspector has the right to change the report to reflect this
new, or additional information. This new, or additional information, shall not
make the Inspector liable for the exclusion, or conclusions the Inspector made
prior to this information.
