Our Valuations. 4.1 Our Valuations are prepared solely for you (and any other person expressly specified in the Letter or Valuation Request) to use for the Permitted Purpose. You are not authorised to use a Valuation for any other purpose without our prior written consent. We do not accept a duty of care to any other person and you agree to the Valuation specifically disclaiming legal responsibility to any other person that might read the Valuation. In the event that you wish to provide the Valuation to any third party, including any financier, for any reason, before any disclosure occurs, you must first obtain our consent to disclosure of the report being made, and if consent is given (which remains at our discretion and may be given with extra conditions), you must (i) provide a copy of this Agreement to the third party, (ii) obtain a signed deed poll from the third party acknowledging that it will not rely on the Valuation for any purpose and releases us from any liability (including negligence), and (iii) provide us with the original signed deed. 4.2 You indemnify us against any Loss we may suffer or incur in respect of any Claim by a third party that arises as a result of any use or distribution of a Valuation to that party or their reliance thereon. Furthermore, if we incur liability to any third party as a result of any use or distribution of, or reliance on, a Valuation by any third party: 4.2.1 You will ensure that we can enforce the protections afforded to us under or out of this Agreement (and in particular clause 11) directly against that third party, or if that is not possible or does not occur for any reason, you will do everything necessary to place us in a position as if the protections had been directly enforceable or enforced against that third party also; and 4.2.2 Without limiting the foregoing, you acknowledge and agree, and will do all things necessary to place us in a position so that, the limitation in clauses 11.1 and 11.2 apply so as to limit our liability to you and/or to that third party, severally and/or collectively, on an aggregate basis. 4.3 A Valuation is current at the date of the Valuation only. The value of a property, premises or asset may change significantly and unexpectedly over a relatively short period of time (including as a result of general market movements or factors specific to the particular property, premises or asset). As such, you release us from any liability for Claim or Loss arising from such subsequent changes in value or where the valuation is relied upon more than 90 days after the date of the valuation, provided always that the 90 day period does not guarantee the value for that period; it always remains a valuation at the date of valuation only. 4.4 Our Valuations will contain certain assumptions, qualifications, limitations and disclaimers (Notices). You agree that it is your responsibility to become aware of these Notices and to ensure that the Valuations are only used in the context of, and subject to, such Notices. 4.5 You acknowledge and agree that our Valuations: 4.5.1 cannot be relied upon as advice about taxation, investment or financial strategy nor considered to be legal or accounting advice; and/or 4.5.2 are not a recommendation to take or not take any particular course or action in respect of a transaction or investment opportunity, and will not be relied upon (in whole or in part) to assess or make decisions about, any private placement, capital raising or securities offering of any kind whatsoever. 4.6 If the Services comprise a desktop or kerbside assessment of any kind or you have instructed us not to undertake a full external and internal inspection, you hereby provide your written agreement to our non- inspection and/or partial inspection of the relevant property being valued and you accept the inherent risk of inaccuracy arising therefrom (including, to the extent relevant to the particular valuation, any risk or risk allocation noted in any applicable API memorandum or guideline). 4.7 If the Service comprises a Virtual Valuation, you acknowledge and agree that: 4.7.1 we will not undertake a physical inspection of the relevant property when preparing the Virtual Valuation and determining the market value of the property. We will form our opinion of value based upon one or more of the following sources: information provided by the property owner or occupant or other third party such as a real estate agent; information already known to the Valuer due to a previous inspection by us; information that we have obtained from public searches or other enquiries. We will take reasonable steps to verify information, documentation and data provided by third parties where we consider it necessary, but otherwise we are entitled to assume that any information provided by third parties is accurate, complete and not misleading; 4.7.2 when a Valuation is completed without inspection of a property there is some inherent risk of diminished accuracy as the Valuer has not personally confirmed the building area, accommodation or features and condition of any improvements or essential repairs. You understand the risks inherent in the Valuer not undertaking a physical inspection; 4.7.3 the Virtual Valuation may not fully comply with the ABFI Standing Instructions and any non- compliance with the ABFI Standing Instructions will not be considered a failure to meet any relevant obligations or service levels set out in this Agreement.
