Terms and Conditions
- Agreement These Terms and Conditions apply to services provided by Virtual Imaging Tours, LLC ("VIT"), as outlined in the Proposal. The Proposal and these Terms together form the "Agreement." The entity signing the Proposal is the "CLIENT." By contracting ("VIT"), you agree to the full terms and conditions.
- Scope of Services VIT provides only the services specified in the Proposal. Additional services must be requested in writing and will be billed separately based on VIT’s current rates.
- Professional Licensing VIT does not offer construction, architectural, land surveying, or engineering services requiring professional licenses. CLIENT is responsible for hiring licensed professionals separately. VIT is not liable for their work.
- Standard of Care VIT will perform services consistent with industry standards at the time and location of the project. No additional warranties or guarantees are provided.
- Client Responsibilities CLIENT must:
- Provide all necessary project information before services begin.
- Disclose any hazardous conditions or safety risks.
- Supply previous studies, plans, or relevant data.
- Review and approve VIT’s work in a timely manner.
- Obtain any required permits and approvals.
- Notify VIT of any project changes that affect services.
- Invoicing and Payments
- VIT invoices upon services rendered, with final payment due upon service completion and delivery.
- CLIENT must notify VIT within two weeks of any billing disputes.
- Payments are due upon receipt; late payments accrue a 12% annual interest fee.
- Some larger projects may require a deposit at scheduling. Cancellations within 48 hours of the scheduled service result in a non-refundable fee of 50% or $450, whichever is greater.
- If a technician arrives and the service is canceled or access is denied, an on-site cancellation fee of $250 will be due.
- Right of Entry The CLIENT shall ensure safe access to the site for VIT to perform its services, including executing any necessary site access or license agreements. VIT will not be required to sign any site access or license agreements. While VIT will take reasonable precautions to minimize damage to the property, the CLIENT acknowledges that some incidental damage may occur in the normal course of work. Unless specified in the proposal or caused by VIT's negligence or willful misconduct, VIT will not be responsible for correcting such damage.
- Job Site Safety and Control of Work Unless expressly agreed to in writing under a separate contract, VIT is not responsible for the safety program of the Project or for the safety of any entity or individual other than VIT and its contractors. The presence of VIT contractors or subcontractors at the site does not imply responsibility for the safety of other personnel or activities at the site. The CLIENT agrees that VIT has no authority, obligation, or control over other contractors, subcontractors, or construction managers and their personnel. VIT will take reasonable precautions to safeguard its employees and those legally under its responsibility.
- Existing Conditions and Subsurface Risks Identifying subsurface conditions involves inherent risks. Even the most comprehensive sampling and testing programs may not detect all conditions. The CLIENT acknowledges that actual site conditions may differ from those interpreted by VIT based on available data. VIT shall not be responsible for interpretations made by others based on the information it provides. VIT will take reasonable precautions to avoid damage to subterranean structures or utilities. However, the CLIENT agrees to indemnify and hold VIT harmless for any damage or resulting impacts if such structures or utilities were not disclosed or were inaccurately represented on provided plans.
- Indemnification To the extent permitted by law, VIT agrees to indemnify and hold the CLIENT and its affiliates harmless from claims, liabilities, or losses caused by VIT’s negligence or willful misconduct. VIT is not responsible for damages arising from CLIENT actions or those of CLIENT’s contractors or agents. Similarly, except for damages caused by VIT’s negligence or willful misconduct, the CLIENT agrees to indemnify VIT against claims arising from unknown site conditions, errors in CLIENT-provided data, or unauthorized use of VIT’s deliverables.
- Limitation of Liability VIT’s total liability to the CLIENT for any claims, whether in contract, tort, or otherwise, shall not exceed the total compensation received by VIT or $10,000, whichever is greater, after applying available insurance proceeds. Liability waivers apply to damages covered by property insurance.
- Waiver of Consequential Damages Both parties waive claims for consequential or special damages, including lost profits, revenue, or business opportunities, regardless of cause.
- Insurance VIT will maintain general and professional liability insurance with a minimum limit of $1,000,000 and will provide certificates of insurance to the CLIENT upon request.
- Force Majeure Neither party is liable for delays, failures, or costs caused by events beyond their reasonable control, including natural disasters, labor disputes, government actions, pandemics, or CLIENT-related delays.
- Project Deliverables VIT retains all rights to its deliverables, including reports, drawings, and data. CLIENT may not distribute, modify, or reuse deliverables without prior written authorization. VIT is not responsible for unauthorized modifications or misuse. VIT will not sign documents certifying conditions it cannot verify. Certifications are professional opinions and not guarantees.
- Conflicts of Interest VIT may provide services to other clients with interests adverse to CLIENT’s, provided those services are unrelated to CLIENT’s project. VIT will not disclose CLIENT’s confidential information unless legally required.
- Termination and Suspension Either party may terminate this agreement with seven (7) days’ written notice if the other party fails to perform substantially. CLIENT’s non-payment constitutes grounds for termination or suspension of services. VIT is entitled to compensation for services rendered before termination.
- Successors and Assigns This agreement binds the parties and their successors. Assignments require prior written consent, which will not be unreasonably withheld.
- Dispute Resolution Disputes shall first be subject to non-binding mediation. Legal proceedings must be brought within one (1) year of substantial service completion. CLIENT waives claims not filed within this period. If CLIENT’s negligence claim against VIT is unsuccessful, CLIENT must reimburse VIT for its reasonable defense costs.
- Governing Law This agreement is governed by the laws of the state where VIT’s issuing office is located, which is in the state of Texas.
- Entire Agreement This agreement, including the proposal and fee schedule, constitutes the entire understanding between the parties, superseding conflicting terms in CLIENT’s documents. Modifications must be in writing and signed by both parties.
