COMMERCIAL BUILDING WALK-THROUGH AGREEMENT
This is an Agreement between you, the undersigned Client, and us, the Inspector, pertaining to our Walk-Through of the Building at:
_____________________________________________________________________________________.
The terms below govern this Agreement.
1.   The   fee   for   our   Walk-Through   is   $________________,   payable   [in   full   /   in   part   at   $   ________________]   at   a   time   [before   /   after]   the   Walk-
Through.
2.   We   will   perform   a   visual   Walk-Through   of   the   home/building   and   provide   you   with   oral   comments   summarizing   our   observations.     A   WALK-
THROUGH   IS   NOT   A   COMMERCIAL   BUILDING   INSPECTION.     We   will   NOT   follow   the   International   Standards   of   Practice   for   Inspecting
Commercial   Properties   (ComSOP),   or   any   state   laws   pertaining   to   building   inspections.     Our   comments   will   be   nothing   more   than   a   subjective
summary   of   our   initial   observations   during   the   Walk-Through.   You   may   hire   us   to   perform   a   commercial   building   inspection   by   signing   a   separate
agreement   with   us.   You   understand   that   neither   InterNACHI   nor   CCPIA   is   a   party   to   this Agreement,   has   no   control   over   us,   and   does   not   employ
or supervise us.
3.   We   will   not   test   for   the   presence   of   radon,   a   harmful   gas.     We   will   not   test   for   mold.     We   will   not   test   for   compliance   with   applicable   building
codes   or   for   the   presence   of   (or   for   any   potential   dangers   arising   from   the   presence   of)   asbestos,   lead   paint,   soil   contamination,   or   other
environmental hazards or violations.
4.   Our   Walk-Through   and   any   comments   are   for   your   use   only.   We   are   not   responsible   for   the   use   or   misinterpretation   by   third   parties,   and   third
parties   who   rely   on   our   comments   in   any   way   do   so   at   their   own   risk,   and   release   us   (including   employees   and   business   entities)   from   any   liability
whatsoever.   If   you   or   any   person   acting   on   your   behalf   provide   our   comments   to   a   third   party   who   then   sues   you   and/or   us,   you   release   us   from
any   liability   and   agree   to   pay   our   costs   and   legal   fees   in   defending   any   action   naming   us.   Our   Walk-Through   and   comments   are   in   no   way   a
guarantee   or   warranty,   express   or   implied,   regarding   the   future   use,   operability,   habitability,   or   suitability   of   the   home/building   or   its   components.
We disclaim all warranties, express or implied, to the fullest extent allowed by law.
5.   Limitation   on   Damages.   We   assume   no   liability   for   the   cost   of   repair   or   replacement   of   unreported   defects,   either   current   or   arising   in   the   future.
In   all   cases,   our   liability   is   limited   to   liquidated   damages   in   an   amount   not   greater   than   the   fee   you   paid   us. You   waive   any   claim   for   consequential,
exemplary,   special   or   incidental   damages,   or   for   the   loss   of   the   use   of   the   building.   You   acknowledge   that   these   liquidated   damages   are   not   a
penalty,   but   that   we   intend   them   to:   (i)   reflect   the   fact   that   actual   damages   may   be   difficult   or   impractical   to   ascertain;   (ii)   allocate   risk   between   us;
and   (iii)   enable   us   to   perform   the   Walk-Through   for   the   agreed-upon   fee   because   you   did   not   want   to   incur   the   additional   costs   a   commercial
inspection would require.
6.   We   do   not   perform   engineering,   architectural,   plumbing,   or   any   other   job   function   requiring   an   occupational   license   in   the   jurisdiction   where   the
building   is   located.     If   we   hold   a   valid   occupational   license,   we   may   inform   you   of   this   and   you   may   hire   us   to   perform   additional   functions.   Any
agreement for such additional services shall be in a separate writing.
7.   Waiver   of   Right   to   Sue.     Because   of   the   extremely   limited   nature   of   our   Walk-Through,   you   waive   any   right   to   sue   us   under   any   negligence
theory.   As   long   as   we   perform   the   Walk-Through,   you   also   waive   any   right   to   sue   us   for   breach   of   contract.     If   you   nevertheless   believe   you   have
a   claim   against   us,   you   agree   to   provide   us   with   the   following:   (i)   written   notification   of   your   claim   within   seven   days   of   discovery,   in   sufficient   detail
and   with   sufficient   supporting   documents   that   we   can   evaluate   it;   and   (ii)   immediate   access   to   the   premises.     Failure   to   comply   with   these
conditions releases us from liability.
8.   Venue   / Attorney’s   Fees   /   Waiver   of   Trial   by   Jury.   You   agree   that   the   exclusive   venue   for   any   litigation   arising   out   of   this Agreement   shall   be   in
the   county   where   we   have   our   principal   place   of   business.     If   you   fail   to   prove   any   claim   against   us,   you   agree   to   pay   all   our   legal   costs,   expenses
and   attorney’s   fees   incurred   in   defending   that   claim.   You   agree   that   the   exclusive   venue   for   any   legal   action   against   InterNACHI-CCPIA   itself,
allegedly   arising   out   of   this   Agreement   or   our   membership   in   InterNACHI-CCPIA,   will   be   in   Boulder   County,   Colorado.     Before   bringing   any   such
action,   you   must   provide   InterNACHI-CCPIA   with   30   days’   written   notice   of   the   nature   of   the   claim,   in   sufficient   detail   and   with   sufficient   supporting
documents that InterNACHI-CCPIA can evaluate it. In any action against us or InterNACHI-CCPIA, you waive trial by jury.
9.   If   a   court   declares   any   provision   of   this   Agreement   invalid,   the   remaining   provisions   remain   in   effect.     This   Agreement   represents   our   entire
agreement;   there   are   no   terms   other   than   those   set   forth   herein.   All   prior   discussions   are   merged   into   this Agreement.     No   statement   or   promise
by   us   shall   be   binding   unless   reduced   to   writing   and   signed   by   one   of   our   authorized   officers.     Any   modification   of   this   Agreement   must   be   in
writing   and   signed   by   you   and   by   one   of   our   authorized   officers.   This   Agreement   shall   be   binding   upon   and   enforceable   by   the   parties   and   their
heirs,   executors,   administrators,   successors,   and   assignees.   You   will   have   no   cause   of   action   against   us   after   one   year   from   the   date   of   the   Walk-
Through.
10.   Past-due   fees   for   our   Walk-Through   shall   accrue   interest   at   8%   per   year.     You   agree   to   pay   all   costs   and   attorney’s   fees   we   incur   in   collecting
the fees owed to us. If the Client is a corporation, LLC, or similar entity, you personally guarantee payment of the fee.
11. You may not assign this Agreement.
12.   If   a   court   finds   any   term   of   this   Agreement   ambiguous   or   requiring   judicial   interpretation,   the   court   shall   not   construe   that   term   against   us   by
reason   of   the   rule   that   any   ambiguity   in   a   document   is   construed   against   the   party   drafting   it.     You   had   the   opportunity   to   consult   qualified   counsel
before signing this.
13. If there is more than one Client, you are signing on behalf of all of them, and you represent that you are authorized to do so.
14. If you would like a large-print version of this Agreement before signing it, you may request one by emailing us.
I HAVE CAREFULLY READ THIS AGREEMENT. I AGREE TO IT, AND I ACKNOWLEDGE RECEIVING A COPY OF IT.
