You will be the sole owner of the report and all rights to it. We are not responsible for its use or misinterpretation by third parties, and third parties who rely on it in any way do so at their own risk and release us (including employees and business entities) from any liability whatsoever.

5. We assume no liability for any sewer or septic system issues either current or arising in the future.

You waive any claim for consequential, exemplary, special or incidental damages or for the loss of the use of the home/building.
