Upon Completion, the Inspector has the option of resulting the Virtual Inspection or taking no action.

Connected – A Virtual Inspection is “Connected” as follows: (1) an Inspector enters a phone number or email address for a Contractor or Field Agent for the purpose of conducting a Virtual Inspection, (2) an invitation to connect with the Contractor or Field Agent or additional Inspector is sent from the Inspector’s computer and received by the Contractor or Field Agent’s smartphone or by an additional Inspector, (3) the Contractor, Field Agent and/or additional Inspector accepts the invitation to connect by permitting sharing of location information, audio, video, with the initiating Inspector in real-time, and (4) the initiating Inspector receives the aforementioned shared information from the Contractor’s device and the parties are able to communicate with each other with voice, video, and location information in a real-time setting at different locations. A call is not considered to be “Connected” if VuSpex reasonably determines that the Virtual Inspection was unable to occur as a result of poor or no Internet connectivity or was materially interrupted due to poor or lost Internet connectivity.  If Customer believes that a call should not be considered to be Connected, it must notify VuSpex promptly following the call by providing this feedback through the end call screen.

Contractor – A person who signs into the Software Service through the VuSpex APP and/or the VuSpex Contractor Portal for the purpose of connecting, conducting, and completing a Virtual Inspection with an Inspector.
