Terms and Conditions
1. Acceptance of Terms
Welcome to Home Inspection Chicago (“we,” “our,” or “us”). These Terms and Conditions (“Terms”) govern your use of the Website at
By accessing or using our Website, submitting an inspection request, or using any information or services provided through the Website, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree with these Terms, please do not use the Website.
2. Our Role and Services
Home Inspection Chicago operates as a connecting platform. We help homeowners, prospective buyers, property owners, and real estate professionals connect with independent home inspection companies serving the Chicago, Illinois area.
We do not provide home inspection services directly or act as inspectors for any property. We also do not prepare inspection reports or provide professional inspection opinions.
Any inspection services you arrange are provided independently by the inspection company you are connected with.
3. Submitting an Inspection Request
When you submit an inspection request, you agree to provide accurate and current information about yourself, the property, and the services you are seeking.
Sending a request through the Website does not guarantee an inspection appointment, quotation, or availability from an inspection company.
Any independent inspection company that receives your request may contact you directly to discuss available services, pricing, and potential scheduling arrangements.
4. Independent Inspection Companies
Inspection companies we connect you with operate independently and are entirely separate from Home Inspection Chicago.
We do not employ, endorse, or independently validate these companies. We are not responsible for their business operations, availability, pricing, procedures, qualifications, reports, recommendations, or service results.
You are responsible for evaluating any inspection company before hiring them.
Any agreement for inspection services is strictly between you and the inspection company. Nothing in this relationship creates an agency, partnership, joint venture, or employment relationship between Home Inspection Chicago and any inspection company or inspector.
5. Inspection Services and Scope
Inspection services are performed independently by the inspection company you choose to work with.
The scope of the inspection, findings, report, recommendations, and related services are determined by that provider based on the property and the terms agreed upon with you.
The inspection process may vary based on the property, conditions at the time of inspection, areas that can be accessed, weather, and other circumstances.
For questions about the inspection process or what will be covered, you should consult the inspection company directly.
6. Pricing and Payments
Using our Website and submitting an inspection request does not require you to pay Home Inspection Chicago a fee.
Any inspection fees or other charges are established separately by the independent inspection company. Home Inspection Chicago does not determine or guarantee the price you may be quoted for inspection services.
Any payment for inspection services is made according to the arrangements between you and the inspection company.
