Indoor Doctor Virtual Test Package Terms and Conditions

Client has engaged IndoorDoctor, LLC (“IndoorDoctor”) to provide equipment and assessment and virtual consulting services in connection with the Client’s testing of areas of its property identified by the Client as areas of concern (“Target Areas”). This assessment is not a Building Code Inspection, title examination, home assessment, or a by-law compliance inspection. The defined sampling is not a guarantee that the contaminants of concern or any other contaminants do or do not exist at the property, whether in the Target Areas or otherwise.

1. Scope of Services.

IndoorDoctor will remotely assist Client in conducting an environmental assessment of the Target Areas, as identified by Client. IndoorDoctor will provide Client with equipment (the “Equipment”) to take a sampling of the Target Area, and up to 30 minutes of real time virtual support to ensure proper sampling and provide guidance with regard to environmental concerns. Upon receipt of the samples and return of the Equipment in satisfactory condition, IndoorDoctor will send (or arrange for the sending of) Client’s samples to an independent and certified laboratory to perform tests on the samples collected by Client, and provide Client with a written explanation of the results and up to 15 minutes of real time virtual consultation to discuss the results and recommendations for corrective actions if necessary. As an additional service at Client’s option, IndoorDoctor will tailor appropriate action steps in response to the test results to address Client’s goals using industry standard engineering principles.

2. Items Excluded From Services.

The following are expressly excluded from services under this Master Services Agreement (this “Agreement”): (1) services related to observation or monitoring of the remediation contractor measures for compliance with the Client’s proposed remediation protocol, unless agreed upon as an additional service; (2) services concerning inaccessible spaces within the Target Areas; (3) structural engineering evaluation of the property, including issues caused by water or moisture damage, fire, soot, spray foam or deferred maintenance; (4) testing or sampling for substances not specifically identified in the order form; and (5) estimates of the cost of the work to be performed by others.

3. Health Conditions

IndoorDoctor does not imply or guarantee that the services provided under this Agreement will reduce or eliminate any symptoms related to, or believed or suspected to be related to, toxins and/or contaminants, including but not limited to symptoms of allergies, asthma, respiratory conditions or any other health conditions. Client is advised to address any questions concerning health issues with a health care professional.

4. Acceptance of Risk

Client acknowledges that there is potential for health risks involved in collecting environmental samples and that Client engages in such activities at its own risk. IndoorDoctor recommends that Client wear maximum protective equipment at all times, and Client shall take all reasonable precautions in regard to the use of the Equipment to protect all persons from injury. Client acknowledges that IndoorDoctor is not responsible or liable in any way for any injury or damage relating to the use of the Equipment or for any harm, including without limitation any injury, illness or death that may occur as a result of Client’s collection of environmental samples in connection with this Agreement. By signing below, Client agrees that it will not bring any actions or pursue any claims against IndoorDoctor in connection with any such harm or damage.

5. No Warranty

IndoorDoctor’s services under this agreement will not guarantee the presence or absence of toxins or contaminants on the subject property. It is understood and agreed that IndoorDoctor is not an insurer and that the assessment and report to be provided under this Agreement shall not be construed as a warranty of the absence of any toxins or contaminants on the subject property. Client also acknowledges that IndoorDoctor will offer guidance as to the proper methods for collecting samples but that IndoorDoctor is not responsible for any collection errors or for Client’s failure to correctly obtain samples.

6. Equipment

Client must timely return the Equipment in the same condition as it was received. Client is responsible for any loss, damage, theft or destruction of the Equipment while in Client’s possession or for failure to timely return the Equipment, in each case whether or not Client is at fault.

8. Recommended Services

After assessment and review of the laboratory results, IndoorDoctor may recommend that certain work be performed at the subject property and may recommend certain vendors to perform this work. If Client chooses to hire a third-party vendor (a “Third-Party Vendor”) to perform such work, including, without limitation, upon IndoorDoctor’s recommendation, Client’s relationship is directly with such Third-Party Vendor. Client agrees that IndoorDoctor is not responsible for (a) the quality of the work or services provided by any Third-Party Vendors, or (b) fulfilling any of the terms of Client’s agreement with any Third-Party Vendors, including but not limited to, performance of work and warranty obligations related to such work.
