• Any information about significant deficiencies provided bears no implications about who should be responsible for correcting those deficiencies. The client should consult the terms of the sales contract to determine whether the seller prior to closing must repair any of the items. This report is of items observed by the inspector. While effort is made to thoroughly inspect this property, it is possible that items could be inadvertently overlooked. There are specific limits to the liability that is assumed in giving these opinions. The inspection and report are not intended or to be used as a guarantee or a warranty, expressed or implied, regarding the adequacy , performance or condition of any inspected structure or system. Byron J. Woods is not an insurer of any inspected condition. If a warranty is desired the client should consult with a third party that may be able to provide this service. If the limits of liability for the inspector or inspection company that are stated throughout this report and in the inspection agreement are not acceptable to the client, this report is not valid, no fee is due and any payments made will be refunded. These limits are applicable even if a defect is later discovered that should have been readily apparent. This inspection took the age and apparent general condition of the home into consideration. In taking this into consideration, I needed to use personal discretion as to what items were significant. Rating conditions are subjective to the opinions of the inspector.
