This agreement ("Agreement") is made and entered into on the date of electronic signature below, by and between the undersigned Customer and NY Environmental Septic Inspections, Inc. ("Inspector"), for the inspection services selected below at the property address below.

Fill in your details, pick your service in Section 1, read through the terms, then secure your appointment with a card on file at the bottom. Nothing is charged today.

1. Service Packages

Please select the service that best fits your real estate contingency or maintenance needs. All fees are plus applicable county sales tax.

Septic inspections

Septic + well packages

Sellers, homeowners & follow-ups

Complete Septic System Layout & Mapping is also available. Because a full layout requires significant time, it needs at least one week's notice — please call (914) 233-7575 to schedule.

2. Inspector Services

a. Inspection. Inspector shall inspect the Customer's septic system based on a visual inspection of the readily accessible components, including (1) buried septic tank(s), (2) drain fields, and (3) soil absorption systems. The inspection begins only after the system is located.

b. Consultation with Inspector. Inspector shall inform Customer of any unique problems or recognized potential hazards found during the inspection. If compromised or damaged conditions are found, Inspector will consult with Customer to explain the issue and make recommendations for possible repair.

c. Issuance of Report. Upon completion of the inspection, Inspector shall issue an Inspection Report based on the visual inspection and information provided by the Customer, reflecting the present condition of the system at the time of inspection.

3. Customer's Duties and Responsibilities

a. Customer agrees to provide:

• Access to the property and septic system to be inspected;
• A safe work environment; and
• Reasonable safety precautions to protect against personal injury, death, and property damage.

b. Notice of Defects. Customer shall provide prompt notice to Inspector of any known defect, fault, or default in the septic system prior to inspection, and should ask the property owner about any prior repairs. Customer shall provide Inspector with any maintenance, service, or inspection records in Customer's possession.

c. Hazardous Materials or Conditions. If hazardous conditions are encountered, Inspector shall have no obligation to continue work in the affected area until it has been made safe by Customer, as certified in writing by a qualified independent testing agency, at Customer's expense. Customer shall indemnify and hold Inspector harmless for any damages resulting from exposure to hazardous conditions, whether or not Customer pre-notified Inspector of their existence.

4. Pre-Inspection Checklist & Payment Terms

To ensure a smooth inspection process and avoid delays, please review the following:

• Water/Power Requirements: Utilities must be active. If interior access is unavailable, a functioning exterior hose spigot must be accessible.
• Property Access: A representative must be present to run water from interior fixtures during the flow test, unless an exterior spigot is cleared for use.
• Credit Card on File: A valid credit card is required to secure the appointment window. The card will not be charged until the inspection is completed, except as described in the Cancellation & Rescheduling Policy below.
• Report Release: Final digital inspection reports, videos, and maps will be emailed following successful invoice payment.

5. Compensation & Fees

a. Service Fee. Customer shall pay the fee for the service package selected in Section 1, plus applicable county sales tax, due at the date and time of inspection. Package fees apply only when the included services are performed as described in Section 1; if an included service is cancelled, rescheduled separately, or cannot be performed, the remaining services are billed at their individual rates. The field fees below apply in addition to the package fee unless Section 1 states they are included. For purposes of Section 6, the "selected service package fee" means the fee of the package selected in Section 1.

b. Additional Systems. If there are multiple septic systems on the property, Customer will pay an additional inspection fee of $400.00 per each additional system, unless a multi-system package is selected in Section 1.

c. Locating the OWTS. If the Customer does not know the precise location of the on-site wastewater treatment system (OWTS), locating the tank from the interior waste line via camera or electronic locating transmitter is available for an additional $100.00.

d. Excavation / Digging. Digging to a depth greater than 1 foot to access a tank lid is an additional $125.00. If the lid is buried 3 feet or deeper, Customer will need to arrange for mechanical excavation; Inspector will return to complete the inspection once the lid is accessible.

e. Outlet Lid Replacement. A $40.00 fee applies for a replacement outlet lid if the existing lid is missing, damaged, or susceptible to damage. Inspector carries spare lids on hand; this fee covers the cost of the replacement lid. Opening this lid also allows Inspector to scope the outlet line to the absorption area.

f. Access Limitations (Tier 2). If Tier 2 service is selected and the tank or outlet lids are inaccessible beyond reason, Inspector will not damage or destroy property — including patios, driveways, pools, fencing, or other obstructions — to gain access.

g. Nonpayment Remedies. Failure to make payment in accordance with this Agreement is a default. In the event of non-payment, Customer shall be required to pay a $50.00 administrative late fee and all attorneys' fees incurred to collect the debt. Inspector shall also have the right to (1) withhold services, including issuance of the Inspection Report, (2) terminate this Agreement, and (3) retain all deposits, fees, and payments already made by Customer. These remedies are in addition to any other remedy available to Inspector at law or in equity.

6. Cancellation & Rescheduling Policy

Because Inspector reserves dedicated multi-hour time slots and transports diagnostic equipment for each appointment, unexpected cancellations significantly impact scheduling. By signing below, Customer agrees to the following cancellation terms:

• More than 48 Hours Notice: No fee. Full flexibility to reschedule.
• 24 to 48 Hours Notice: Cancellations or rescheduling requests made within this window will incur a charge equal to 50% of the selected service package fee. If the cancellation is due to an emergency and rescheduling is requested, the 50% charge will be applied toward the full price of the completed inspection.
• Same-Day Cancellation / No-Show: Cancellations made on the day of service, or instances where the technician arrives but cannot perform the work due to lack of utility access or site preparation, will incur a charge equal to 100% of the selected service package fee.

7. Insurance, Indemnification & Limitation of Warranties

a. Inspector's Insurance. Inspector shall maintain general liability insurance in a commercially reasonable amount. Customer acknowledges that the current homeowner must maintain, and will maintain for the duration of this Agreement, a policy of property insurance covering property damage and liability claims, and will provide evidence of such upon request.

b. Waiver Regarding Injury and Damages. Customer waives all claims against Inspector, and agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold Inspector harmless, for injuries or damages that Customer or any of Customer's family or invitees may suffer while on or around the property during the inspection.

c. Indemnity by Customer. Customer acknowledges that Inspector is serving only to inspect the septic system. Inspector will not perform excavation work to locate the system, nor dig past 3 feet to locate the system. Customer agrees to indemnify and hold Inspector harmless with regard to any claims, costs, obligations, or liabilities incurred by Inspector in connection with the inspection.

d. No Warranty. Neither Inspector nor the Inspection Report constitutes a warranty, express or implied, regarding the adequacy, performance, or condition of any structure, system, or item. Conditions are subject to change after the inspection occurs. The Inspection and Inspection Report are not intended to reflect property value or to make any representation as to the advisability of purchase or suitability of use, and reflect only the opinion of Inspector based on a visual inspection of readily accessible areas and information supplied by Customer at the time of inspection.

e. Confidentiality. The Inspection Report and all information attached to it are for the Customer's use only. Sharing any information in the report is at the Customer's discretion.

f. Regulatory Reporting. Inspector is obligated to report findings to the Local Health Department for systems that could impact public health.
