By engaging Lockwood Home Inspections ("Company", "I", "me", or "my") for home inspection services, you ("Client", "you", or "your") agree to be bound by these Terms of Service.

2. Services Provided

Lockwood Home Inspections provides professional home inspection services, specialty testing, and detailed reporting. My inspections are visual examinations of readily accessible areas and systems of a property.

• Inspections are non-invasive and do not involve destructive testing
• Inspection reports are based on conditions observed at the time of inspection
• I do not guarantee the future condition or performance of any system or component

3. Scheduling and Payment

Scheduling: Inspections must be scheduled in advance. Same-day scheduling may be available based on availability.

Payment: Payment is due at the time of inspection unless other arrangements have been made in advance. I accept Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover, PayPal, cash, check, and CashApp.

Cancellation: Cancellations must be made at least 24 hours in advance to avoid cancellation fees.

4. Client Responsibilities

• Provide safe access to all areas to be inspected

6. Inspection Reports

Inspection reports are typically delivered the same day as the completed inspection. Reports are provided digitally and are for the exclusive use of the client who engaged my services.

Reports may not be transferred, assigned, or provided to third parties without my written consent.

7. Limitation of Liability

My liability is limited to the fee paid for the inspection. I maintain professional errors and omissions insurance as required by Vancouver Island law.

I am not responsible for the cost of repair or replacement of unreported defects or deficiencies, either current or arising in the future.
