I like this answer, a lot. I’m weary of changing anything in my PIA (Internachi/Elite MGA) that the insurance company sent me to use, so this avoids that.
Thank you!

Just take that line out of your agreement. It is your business you can write the contract any way you want it. I can’t see how having that clause provides any protection for you. Get rid of it.
I have added and changed and deleted things in my agreement over the years as I felt a need to do so.

I agree and after re-reading the agreement and reading many of the posts, I now believe that I still need written permission to share the report with my client’s REA or attorney. The other posters on this topic have shared many great practices and I will be implementing one or more of them immediately 
Edit: My area is different than most though…pretty much all of my inspections are pre-listing inspections and the homeowner’s/seller’s REA is the one that contacts me and orders the inspection so my homeowner/seller clients are already informed by the REA that they will be reviewing the report and attaching them to the seller’s disclosure.
