SCOPE OF INSPECTION Clause Samples
The Scope of Inspection clause defines the extent and limitations of the inspection process within an agreement. It typically outlines what items, areas, or systems are subject to inspection, who is responsible for conducting the inspection, and any exclusions or special conditions that apply. For example, it may specify that only visible and accessible components will be inspected, excluding concealed or hazardous areas. This clause ensures that all parties have a clear understanding of what will and will not be examined, thereby preventing disputes and managing expectations regarding the inspection process.
