Thank you so much Scott. 
I couldn’t agree more. It has been terrific working with DMI and the others as well !
Hey Jeremy are you set up for roof certification inspections?If so do you have the agreement and would you be Willing to share it? I cannot find any agreements for florida roof certification inspection agreements any where ?
I don’t use any agreements with the 4 Point, Wind Mit or Roof Cert’s.
Really. How come ?
I just used a basic internachi agreement, and slightly changed it for my 4 points. Feel free to copy, but obviously, the fillers in here are placeholders for my software that automatically pre-fill:
There is also a wind mit agreement below:
4-POINT AGREEMENT
This is an Agreement between you, the undersigned Client, {{CLIENT_NAME}} and us, the Inspector, pertaining to our 4-point inspection of the Property at:
{{ADDRESS}}
on{{INSPECTION_DATE}}
The terms below govern this Agreement.
-
You will pay us {{PRICE}} for our 4-point inspection
-
We will perform a 4-point inspection of the property consistent with insurance industry standards and provide you with a written report.
-
You agree that a 4-point inspection is a very limited inspection. It is not nearly as comprehensive as a residential home inspection. It does not cover all aspects of the home, but is merely a basic summary as required for the insurance form. (Roofing, HVAC, Plumbing, and Electric)
-
Our inspection and report are for your use only. You give us permission to discuss observations with real estate agents, insurers, owners, repair persons, or other interested parties. You will be the sole owner of the report and all rights to it. We are not responsible for 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. If you or any person acting on your behalf provide the report to a third party who then sues you and/or us, you release us for any liability agree to pay our costs and legal fees in defending any action naming us. Our report is 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.
-
We assume no liability for the cost of repair or replacement of unreported defects or deficiencies either current or arising in the future. You agree that in all cases our liability shall be 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 home/building. You acknowledge that the liquidated damages are not a penalty, but that we intend them to (i) reflect the fact that actual damages may be difficult and impractical to ascertain; (ii) allocate risk between us; and (iii) enable us to perform the inspection for the agreed upon fee.
-
We do not perform engineering, architectural, plumbing, or any other job function requiring an occupational license in the jurisdiction where the property 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.
-
If you believe you have a claim against us, you agree to provide us with the following: (1) written notification of adverse conditions within seven days of discovery; and (2) immediate access to the premises. Failure to comply with these conditions releases us from liability.
-
You agree that any litigation arising out of this Agreement shall be filed only in the Court having jurisdiction 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 fees incurred in defending that claim. You agree that any legal action against InterNACHI itself, allegedly arising out of this Agreement or our membership in InterNACHI, must be brought only in the District Court of Boulder County, Colorado. Before bringing any such action, you must provide InterNACHI with 30 days written notice of the nature of the claim. In any action against us or InterNACHI, you waive trial by jury.
-
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 or promises other than those set forth herein. 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 inspection.
-
Payment of the inspection fee (less any deposit noted above) is due when we complete the inspection. You agree to pay all costs and attorneys fees incurred in collecting the fee owed to us. If the Client is a corporation, LLC, or similar entity, you personally guarantee payment of the fee.
-
If you request a re-inspection, the re-inspection is subject to the terms of this Agreement.
-
You may not assign this Agreement.
-
If a court finds any term of this Agreement ambiguous or that it otherwise requires 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 Agreement.
-
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.
I HAVE CAREFULLY READ THIS AGREEMENT. I AGREE TO IT AND ACKNOWLEDGE RECEIVING A COPY OF IT.
And here is a wind mit agreement, that I also copied from internachi:
Wind Mitigation Inspection Agreement
This Agreement is between the CLIENT, {{CLIENT_NAME}} and Insight Home Inspections, (INSPECTOR) to conduct a wind mitigation inspection of the Property at {{ADDRESS}}. on {{INSPECTION_DATE}}. The inspection will cover only the items listed on the Uniform Mitigation Verification Inspection form, which may be found at https://www.nachi.org/documents2012/Wind%20Mit/OIR-B1-1802eff02012012.pdf, and is not a full inspection and is not intended to inspect any component in the home except for those items on the form relating to stronger methods to resist wind load on the home in adverse conditions. PLEASE REVIEW THAT FORM BEFORE YOU SIGN THIS AGREEMENT SO YOU WILL KNOW THE LIMITED SCOPE OF THE INSPECTION. The purpose of this inspection is to determine if certain procedures have been performed on the home to help withstand adverse conditions. It is not an assurance that this home will be protected or whether it can withstand specific types of adverse conditions. This limited inspection may help you qualify for a reduced insurance rate, but is not a guarantee. By signing this Agreement you understand it is a limited inspection intended only to satisfy requirements of an insurance company. You also agree to the terms below. Any third parties who rely on the report in any way also agree to all provisions in this Agreement.
-
Inspection of the property and the report 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. All warranties, express or implied, including warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose, are expressly excluded to the fullest extent allowed by law.
-
INSPECTOR assumes no liability for the cost of repair or replacement of unreported defects or deficiencies either current or arising in the future. If the removal of drywall is necessary to complete inspection, client will be notified beforehand, and InSight Homes will not be responsible for repair or drywall. CLIENT acknowledges that the liability of INSPECTOR, its agents and/or employees, for claims or damages, costs of defense or suit, attorneys fees and expenses arising out of or related to the INSPECTORS negligence or breach of any obligation under this Agreement, including errors and omissions in the inspection or the report, shall be limited to liquidated damages in an amount equal to the fee paid to the INSPECTOR, and this liability shall be exclusive. CLIENT waives any claim for consequential, exemplary, special or incidental damages or for the loss of the use of the home/building even if the CLIENT has been advised of the possibility of such damages. The parties acknowledge that the liquidated damages are not intended as a penalty but are intended (i) to reflect the fact that actual damages may be difficult and impractical to ascertain; (ii) to allocate risk among the INSPECTOR and CLIENT; and (iii) to enable the INSPECTOR to perform the inspection at the stated fee.
-
INSPECTOR does not perform engineering, architectural, plumbing, or any other job function requiring an occupational license in the jurisdiction where the inspection is taking place.
-
In the event of a claim against INSPECTOR, CLIENT agrees to supply INSPECTOR with the following: (1) written notification of adverse conditions within 14 days of discovery; and (2) access to the premises. Failure to comply with the above conditions will release INSPECTOR and its agents from any and all obligations or liability of any kind.
-
The parties agree that any litigation arising out of this Agreement shall be filed only in the Court having jurisdiction in the County in which the INSPECTOR has its principal place of business. In the event that CLIENT fails to prove any claims against INSPECTOR in a court of law, CLIENT agrees to pay all legal costs, expenses and fees of INSPECTOR in defending said claims. CLIENT further understands that any legal action against InterNACHI itself allegedly arising out of this Agreement or INSPECTORs relationship with InterNACHI must be brought only in the District Court of Boulder County, Colorado. No such action may be filed unless the Client has first provided InterNACHI with 30 days written notice of the nature of the claim. In any action against INSPECTOR and/or InterNACHI, CLIENT waives trial by jury.
-
If any court declares any provision of this Agreement invalid, the remaining provisions will remain in effect. This Agreement represents the entire agreement between the parties. All prior communications are merged into this Agreement, and there are no terms or conditions other than those set forth herein. No statement or promise of INSPECTOR or its agents shall be binding unless reduced to writing and signed by INSPECTOR. No change shall be enforceable against any party unless it is in writing and signed by the parties. This Agreement shall be binding upon and enforceable by the parties and their heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assignees. CLIENT shall have no cause of action against INSPECTOR after one year from the date of the inspection.
-
Should any provision of this Agreement require judicial interpretation, the Court shall not apply a presumption that the term shall be more strictly construed against one party or the other by reason of the rule of construction that a document is to be construed more strictly against the party who prepared it.
CLIENT HAS CAREFULLY READ THE FOREGOING, AGREES TO IT, AND ACKNOWLEDGES RECEIPT OF A COPY OF THIS AGREEMENT.

The inspector I took over for didn’t use any, and he was also an insurance broker. Also searched the forum and found that nobody was using agreements for those inspections (at least none that I found).
We have contacted you and applied. When will the work for R2 be sent?
Thanks. Now just got to get these realtors to get on the ball and give me some inspections.
As far as the background and fingerprinting goes I literally just did my fingerprints on Feb 26th in order to get my FL HI License. Am I going to need to do another set of prints for this program?
Hi Chris,
Yes, the fingerprints are done for a different department. When you get hired by a WCE they will provide instructions.
With Respect,
Michelle
