Page 4 of 6LIMITATIONS AND EXCLUSIONS OF THE MOLD ASSESSMENT AND REPORT


MA1. Standards of Practice: CLIENT understands that the INSPECTOR offers two (2) distinct mold assessment/sampling services: (A) Visual Assessment,


and (B) Sampling and Analysis, both of which are described more fully below. The objective of these services is to determine whether mold or conditions


conducive to microbial growth exist in the CLIENT designated area(s) visually inspected or sampled at the time the services are performed. The services include


a visual assessment, or sampling and analysis, or both, as provided on the first page of this Agreement. Following the visual assessment, sample collection and


lab results, the CLIENT will be provided with a written report stating whether mold or conditions indicating mold were found in the designated area(s).


MA1(A). Visual Assessment: If you selected this service, the INSPECTOR will identify visible, readily accessible evidence of mold or conditions that


may be conducive to microbial growth, for example, evidence of water penetration, in the CLIENT designated area(s). The Assessment is to identify visible mold


and/or conditions that may be conducive to microbial growth, for example, musty odor and/or evidence of water penetration, in the CLIENT designated area(s).


The INSPECTOR will NOT be able to determine the extent or type of microbial contamination from the results of the Visual Assessment alone.


MA1(B). Sampling and Analysis: If you selected this service an appropriate number of samples will be collected, as determined by the Visual


Assessment, to identify suspected mold in CLIENT designated area(s). The CLIENT will have an opportunity to have samples taken in CLIENT designated


area(s) of the Inspected Property to establish the presence and type(s) of microbial contamination, if any. The INSPECTOR will send the samples to a laboratory


to analyze them for the presence of mold. The laboratory will then issue a report to the CLIENT detailing the presence and type(s) of mold, if any, found in the


samples. Where possible, a reference guide will be provided, which explains the various types of mold along with any recommended action(s).


MA2 Exclusions: The results of the services are not a guarantee that mold does or does not exist at the Inspected Property; the results are indicative only of


the presence or absence of mold, or conditions conducive to microbial growth, in the CLIENT designated area(s) at the time of the Assessment. If the


INSPECTOR’s inspector or Report recommends further action, including, but not limited to, consulting with a specialized expert(s), the CLIENT must do so at


the CLIENT’s own expense or otherwise assume all risks associated with failure to act recommended by the INSPECTOR. Neither the Assessment nor the


Sampling are technically exhaustive. CLIENT understands and agrees that the INSPECTOR cannot and does not probe, bore, pry, poke or otherwise invade


any physical structure. Equipment, items and systems will not be dismantled. The INSPECTOR cannot and does not look behind drywall, paneling, or wallpaper,


under carpeting or other floor covering, above suspended ceilings, or in other areas which may be blocked or impeded by furniture, personal items or other


structures. Inaccessible, non-visible, latent or concealed defects or problems are excluded from this Agreement and the services. It is the CLIENT’s responsibility


to make sure that at the time of the Assessment or Sampling all areas to be assessed and/or sampled are clear and accessible. If any attic, crawlspace, or other


area is not completely visible or accessible it will not be assessed. The CLIENT understands that the services will be conducted only in CLIENT designated


areas and is NOT A COMPLETE ASSESSMENT of the Inspected Property. The INSPECTOR’s inspector(s) is a generalist and is not a Certified Industrial


Hygienist or expert. The INSPECTOR is not providing an indoor air quality assessment. THE SCOPE OF THE VISUAL ASSESSMENT AND THE SAMPLING


AND ANALYSIS IS LIMITED TO READILY ACCESSIBLE AREAS DESIGNATED BY THE CLIENT ONLY.


LIMITATIONS AND EXCLUSIONS OF THE AIR SAMPLING AND REPORT


AS1. Scope of Work: The INSPECTOR agrees to obtain air samples indoors and outdoors using spore traps or canisters. The outdoor samples are used to


create a control or baseline to determine the level of contamination, and then the control is compared to the indoor samples. The objective of these services is


to determine whether mold or conditions conducive to microbial growth exist in the area(s) sampled at the time the services are performed. The INSPECTOR


will send the samples to a laboratory to analyze them for the presence of mold. The laboratory will then issue a report to the CLIENT detailing the presence


and type(s) of mold, if any, found in the samples. Where possible, a reference guide will be provided, which explains the various types of mold along with any


recommended action(s).


AS2. Exclusions: The results of the services are not a guarantee that mold does or does not exist at the Inspected Property; the results are indicative only of


the presence or absence of mold, or conditions conducive to microbial growth, at the time of the Air Sampling. If the INSPECTOR’s inspector or Report


recommends further action, including, but not limited to, consulting with a specialized expert(s), the CLIENT must do so at the CLIENT’s own expense or


otherwise assume all risks associated with failure to act recommended by the INSPECTOR. The Sampling is not technically exhaustive. CLIENT understands


and agrees that the INSPECTOR cannot and does not probe, bore, pry, poke or otherwise invade any physical structure. Equipment, items and systems will


not be dismantled. The INSPECTOR cannot and does not look behind drywall, paneling, or wallpaper, under carpeting or other floor covering, above


suspended ceilings, or in other areas which may be blocked or impeded by furniture, personal items or other structures. Inaccessible, non-visible, latent or


concealed defects or problems are excluded from this Agreement and the services. It is the CLIENT’s responsibility to make sure that at the time of the


Sampling all areas to be sampled are clear and accessible. The CLIENT understands that the services are NOT A COMPLETE ASSESSMENT of the


Inspected Property. The INSPECTOR’s inspector(s) is a generalist and is not a Certified Industrial Hygienist or expert.
