Knox Inspection Services, Inc.

This essential report is included without additional cost in all of our Home Buyer’s Groups of Inspections.

This Inspection and report are performed and prepared by a Licensed Pest Control Company in the State of Oklahoma and is included in most contracts of sale for real estate and typically required by the Mortgage Lenders.  This Inspection is historically referred to as the "Termite Inspection" and is separate from Knox.  We are not licensed as Exterminators with the State of Oklahoma, nor does Knox do repairs as often offered in these separate Vendor Inspection reports.  In most transactions the examination is for "Wood Destroying Organisms."  This entire Inspection, report, Warranty (if any), and communication for content should be from the Affiliate Vendor Pest company that is solely responsible for the Inspection and report.

The report form will describe the visible condition of the property with regard to active infestation or damaged wood
resulting from "Wood Destroying Organisms" as detailed in the written report.  Please read the report for the specific
conditions in which the individual Affiliate Vendor Pest Company offers their Inspection.  If the report identifies the need
for treatment or repairs, an estimate of cost to perform such remedy will be included.  It is the responsibility of the
Customer, the Seller, or other parties in the sales transaction, to authorize repairs, chemical treatment, and/or bait
system to meet the requirements of the transaction.

The "Termite Inspection" and report is included in the following Home Buyers Groups of Inspections;

 A.  The Expanded Realtor® Contract Inspection Group with Mold Spore Analysis
 B.  The Expanded Realtor® Contract Inspection Group with Air Duct Video or Sewer Video Analysis
 C.  The Expanded Realtor® Contract Inspection Group with Radon Gas and Environmental Survey
 D.  The Expanded Realtor® Contract Inspection Group
 E.  The Realtor®  Contract Inspection Group
 F.  The Expanded Oklahoma Inspection Group
 G.  The Oklahoma Inspection Group
 H.  The Economy Realtor® Contract Inspection Group

At the preparation of this issue of The Complete Book of Property Inspection Services the regulation for the Pest
Control business is changing.  Therefore there may be changes in their regulations that directly affect your transaction.
We encourage you to carefully review the “ODAFF-1 Report” with special attention to the areas that could not be
examined for the reasons stated therein and ask questions.  The ODAFF-1 form became effective on October 1, 2003

This is one of the very few individual Inspections that Knox Inspection Services, Inc. does not provide directly to the
Customer.  We make our Affiliate Vendor services available for the convenience of making one phone call, then order
every necessary Inspection, and get the Inspections scheduled at one time, all for a reduced price in one of our
Inspection Groups.  We offer the Customer a choice from ten (at this time) different Licensed Pest Control Companies.
The Customer (or person placing the Inspection order) chooses which one of the Pest companies will perform the
“Termite” Inspection.  The Customer may choose any other Pest Control Company independent of Knox, (of course!).
The importance of having the Customer at the Inspection is another reason we provide this scheduling convenience.

The individual Pest Control Company is wholly responsible for the results of the “Oklahoma Official Termite and Wood
Destroying Organisms Report”. and Knox Inspection Services, Inc. does not accept any liability nor responsibility for any
aspect of the report or consequences of such report.   Knox Inspection Services, Inc. is not a licensed Pest Control
Company and Knox does not accept compensation from the Pest Control Companies to get on our “list” in any form
because it’s against the law!  They get on our “list” because they have demonstrated good quality work for their Customers.

The “Termite” Inspection and report can be ordered separately through Knox or by contacting the Vendor yourself.
