report, those required/recommended in the home inspection report, Wood Destroying Insect Infestation 241
Inspection Report, septic inspection and well water test, are to be made at Buyer's expense, unless otherwise 242
stipulated in this Agreement. The parties hereto agree that in the event Buyer shall elect to contract with a third 243
party inspector to obtain a “Home Inspection” as defined by Tennessee law, said inspection shall be conducted by a 244
licensed Home Inspector. However, nothing in this paragraph shall preclude Buyer from conducting any inspections 245
on his/her own behalf, nor shall it preclude Buyer from retaining a qualified (and if required by law, licensed) 246
professional to conduct inspections of particular systems or issues within such professional’s expertise or licensure, 247
including but not limited to inspection of the heating/cooling systems, electrical systems, foundation, etc., so long as 248
said professional is not in violation of Tenn. Code Ann. § 62-6-301, et seq. as may be amended. Seller shall cause 249
all utility services and any pool, spa, and similar items to be operational so that Buyer may complete all 250
inspections and tests under this Agreement. Buyer agrees to indemnify Seller from the acts of himself, his 251
inspectors and/or representatives in exercising his rights under this Purchase and Sale Agreement. Buyer’s 252
obligations to indemnify Seller shall also survive the termination of this Agreement by either party, which shall 253
remain enforceable. Buyer waives any objections to matters of purely cosmetic nature (e.g. decorative, color or 254
finish items) disclosed by inspection. Buyer has no right to require repairs or alterations purely to meet 255
current building codes, unless required to do so by governmental authorities. 256
B. Initial Inspections. Buyer and/or his inspectors/representatives shall have the right and responsibility to enter the 257
Property during normal business hours, for the purpose of making inspections and/or tests of the Property. Buyer 258
and/or his inspectors/representatives shall have the right to perform a visual analysis of the condition of the 259
Property, any reasonably accessible installed components, the operation of the Property’s systems, including any 260
controls normally operated by Seller including the following components: heating systems, cooling systems, 261
electrical systems, plumbing systems, structural components, foundations, roof coverings, exterior and interior 262
components, any other site aspects that affect the Property, and environmental issues. 263
C. Wood Destroying Insect Infestation Inspection Report. If desired by Buyer or required by Buyer’s Lender, it 264
shall be Buyer’s responsibility to obtain at Buyer’s expense a Wood Destroying Insect Infestation Inspection Report 265
(the “Report”), which shall be made by a Tennessee licensed and chartered pest control operator. 266
