Terms and Conditions of Service
We test. We don't remediate. No conflict of interest. You own your report.
Fees are non-refundable. Michigan law applies. Full terms govern our work.
This Agreement is entered into between Spore Shield LLC, a Michigan limited liability company ("Spore Shield"), and the undersigned client ("Client"), effective upon Client's execution of the signature page of this Agreement.
Spore Shield agrees to perform the mold testing and indoor air quality assessment services identified on the invoice page of this Agreement (the "Services") at the property identified herein (the "Property") on the mutually agreed-upon date of service. Services are limited to non-invasive visual observation, instrument-based environmental readings, and, where applicable, laboratory sample collection. No destructive testing will be performed absent separate written authorization by Client.
Spore Shield operates exclusively as an independent third-party testing provider. Spore Shield does not perform mold remediation, water damage restoration, or any related repair services, and maintains no financial affiliation, referral arrangement, or revenue-sharing relationship with any such service provider. Any remediation contractor engaged by Client is selected by Client independently.
Client shall provide Spore Shield reasonable and safe access to all interior and exterior areas of the Property reasonably necessary for the Services, including crawlspaces, attics, mechanical rooms, and enclosed cavities where non-invasive access is possible. Areas inaccessible, obstructed, or unsafe shall be documented as "not inspected," with no reduction in fee.
Where scope includes laboratory analysis, samples shall be submitted to an accredited independent laboratory with standard turnaround of seventy-two (72) hours. Spore Shield serves solely as the collecting agent and shall not be liable for laboratory error, delay, or chain-of-custody issues arising after shipment outside Spore Shield's direct control.
The final written report (the "Report") shall be delivered via electronic means to the email address on file within forty-eight (48) hours of receipt of laboratory results. The Report is prepared for the exclusive use of Client and may not be altered, excerpted, or republished to third parties without prior written consent of Spore Shield.
The Services provide a snapshot of conditions present at the Property at the date and time of inspection. Spore Shield makes no representation or warranty regarding areas not inspected, concealed conditions, or future development. Mold populations are dynamic and may change following inspection.
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, SPORE SHIELD'S AGGREGATE LIABILITY UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, OR ANY OTHER THEORY, SHALL BE LIMITED TO THE AMOUNT OF FEES ACTUALLY PAID BY CLIENT FOR THE SERVICES RENDERED. IN NO EVENT SHALL SPORE SHIELD BE LIABLE FOR CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, PUNITIVE, OR INDIRECT DAMAGES, INCLUDING LOST PROFITS, PROPERTY DEVALUATION, OR COSTS OF REMEDIATION.
Client shall pay the full service fee upon execution of this Agreement. All fees paid are non-refundable under any circumstances. In the event of cancellation, Spore Shield retains the full fee as compensation for scheduling, laboratory reservation, and administrative costs incurred. Rescheduling will be accommodated at Spore Shield's discretion without additional charge, with minimum 24 hours' notice.
Client agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Spore Shield, its officers, employees, agents, and contractors from and against any claims, damages, losses, or expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, arising from (a) Client's use of the Report; (b) misrepresentation of the Report to third parties; or (c) any action or omission by Client or third parties based on the Report's findings.
This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Michigan, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles. Any dispute arising from or related to this Agreement shall be resolved exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Oakland County, Michigan, and the parties consent to personal jurisdiction therein.
This Agreement, together with the associated invoice, constitutes the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the Services and supersedes all prior understandings, whether written or oral. No modification shall be binding unless executed in writing by both parties. If any provision is held unenforceable, the remainder shall continue in full force and effect.
