In no event shall Accurate Analytical Testing Llc be liable for latent or hidden conditions, conditions not actually observed by Accurate Analytical Testing Llc, the potential consequences of observable conditions, conditions of which client had knowledge of at the time of the assessment, or any unauthorized assignment of or reliance upon the reports. The liability of Accurate Analytical Testing Llc, and that of its officers, directors, employees, agents and subcontractors, to client or to any third party, including any company affiliated with such parties, or any officer, director, employee, agent, subcontractor, successor, or assign of such parties, for any losses, whether in contract or tort (including negligence and strict liability), related to the services, the agreement or otherwise, shall not exceed (a) an aggregate of $1,000.00 per project. In no event shall Accurate Analytical Testing Llc be liable to client for any exemplary, punitive, indirect, incidental, special, or consequential (including lost profits) damages arising from or in any way connected with its performance or failure to perform under the agreement, even if the affected party has knowledge of the possibility of such damages.

Accurate Analytical Testing Llc’s written report shall contain the standard reliance language (if any) that has been pre-approved by the client and Accurate Analytical Testing Llc. If no pre-approved language exists, the services, the reports and other related work product provided by Accurate Analytical Testing Llc may be relied upon by the client, its successors and assigns with respect to a loan secured by the subject property, and any rating agency rating, or any issuer or purchaser of, any security collateralized or otherwise backed by such loan. No other person or entity may rely on the report without the advance written consent of Accurate Analytical Testing Llc, and no other third party beneficiaries are intended. Except as described above, the client shall not assign the proposal, any report or any related work product, without the prior written consent of Accurate Analytical Testing Llc. Any unauthorized reuse or redistribution of Accurate Analytical Testing Llc’s work product or reports shall be at the client’s and recipient’s sole risk, without liability to Accurate Analytical Testing Llc. Accurate Analytical Testing Llc client will hold Accurate Analytical Testing Llc harmless from any and all liability, obligation, cost and expense arising from or related to any unauthorized distribution or use by client of Accurate Analytical Testing Llc’s work product or reports.

The client shall pay Accurate Analytical Testing Llc for the services performed in accordance with the prices set forth in the proposal. Invoices shall be submitted in accordance with the proposal. Accurate Analytical Testing Llc reserves the right to cancel or modify payment terms of the proposal if the client does not meet the credit requirements of Accurate Analytical Testing Llc. In addition, if the potential financial condition of the client were to change due to lawsuit, bankruptcy, or other significant incidents, or if Accurate Analytical Testing Llc were to become aware of such change during the time frame of performing the services, Accurate Analytical Testing Llc reserves the right to cancel or modify the payment terms of the proposal.
