MODIFICATIONS POST CERTIFICATION Not unlike with traditional residential housing, we recommend that if any altercations or modifications are made to the home or trailer post Certification/Inspections, that the AHJ be contacted first to see if any Permits would be required for the intended work and if the unit will need to be re-certified. If a re-certification is warranted, NOAH does offer a post-construction As-built Certification. Check with your municipality before attempting placement in their jurisdiction and before any modifications are made to the trailer or home. BUILDER QUALITY ASSURANCE PROGRAM The NOAH Standard(s) may incorporate minimum standards from NFPA, NEC, ANSI, DOT/NTHSA & IRC. Each Industry & Association Standard implies assurance of quality. In this respect, it is the generally accepted practice of construction & materials handling, being addressed: The Member/Builder shall designate an individual to enforce the Quality Assurance Program, (this person will also be required to sign the Builder’s Pledge that you will be receiving shortly). And at a minimum, this person is responsible for ensuring that the build(s) are up to the NOAH Standard(s), & in the case of a member Manufacturer, reports to a member of management who has responsibility extending beyond production. A system of storage of materials, build equipment & protection of the unit during the build must be in place to prevent damage from weather (i.e., heat/cold & moisture). We recommend that the builder perform a walkthrough of the home upon delivery to ensure everything is intact and the transport of the home does not cause any issues. NOAH Members will have the opportunity to offer “Best Practice” suggestions for inclusion in the developing list of quality assurance principles not readily or evidently expressed elsewhere for Structures, by submitting such suggestions to info@noahcertified.org. The Member Manual is updated as needed. For the current version throughout your Membership, please visit your Member Portal. REFUND POLICIES MEMBERSHIP/SEAL REFUND POLICY Here at NOAH RDI, we offer many different types of Memberships and Services. All Services purchased from NOAH RDI are non-refundable unless otherwise specified in writing by NOAH RDI or its appointed representative. SAME-DAY SERVICES REFUND POLICY NOAH RDI also provides Services available to non-members, Such as, Same Day Inspections/Consultations, Value Opinions, and Scheduled Inspector Consultations. These Services are performed outside of Membership and are therefore non-refundable. AS-BUILT CERTIFICATION REFUND POLICY This Service is a post-construction inspection and verification option. And as such this Service is not eligible for refund status. AUTO-RENEWAL Renewal Notification in writing shall be provided to the Member no less than 30 days and no more than 60 days before their Membership Renewal date pursuant to the automatic renewal provision. Unless the Member cancels their Membership in writing before their renewal date, the Membership will automatically renew for the same Membership type and amount. NO SHOW NOAH has implemented a new policy with regards to cancelling inspections in advance. We understand you might have to cancel when weather is bad or an emergency arises. NOAH is growing and with that growth means that desired time slots are not always available which can cause other members to have a delay in continuing their build. Please, we ask if you’re not going to make your scheduled inspection time to give us a call so that we may be able to give someone else that time slot. Please call member support to cancel or you may also cancel through the confirmation email if it is 12 hours in advance. There will now be a $50 fee assessed for each NO SHOW for a scheduled inspection/consultation time. PAYMENT LATE FEE NOAH has also implemented a late fee of $25 if your payment is late. Your membership is automatically renewed upon your 1-year anniversary date. If you make monthly payments for your membership, then the card on file will be charged on the same date each month. Quarterly payments will be charged on the same date each quarter. If the credit card on file fails to process your payment and it has not been rectified within 30 days, the $25 fee will be charged. If you fall more than 2 months behind, your membership could be suspended. We do ask that you please call to update address or credit card information to avoid the late fees. NOAH CERTIFICATION SEAL Each Structure is built by a NOAH Member, thereby meeting the requirements of The NOAH Standard(s) Inspection Program. The Inspected Structure is granted the right & privilege to display the NOAH Certification Seal. The NOAH Certification Seal is an external recognition of the builder’s commitment & compliance to The NOAH Standard(s), at the time of inspection. Each individual NOAH Certification Seal is uniquely numbered & corresponds to the VIN or Other Identifier of the Structure it is adhered to. SHELLS If you are selling partially inspected homes, we can continue with the inspection process once the buyer takes possession of the home/shell and signs up with us. The buyer would need to utilize our DIYer Membership. This Membership works best because it appropriates the proper level of support for a typical homeowner that is building for the first time. This Membership includes unlimited consultations with our licensed inspectors and the Membership is also good for the life of the build. So, no time pressure to finish the job. You would just refer your client to NOAH, and we will set them up in our system with their own account and ensure all appropriate inspection records are transferred over to their new account. We are happy to work with the new owners and pick up where you left off, to ensure the compliance of the build remains at the same level of standard through completion. The new buyer will complete their Member On-boarding emails and then they will receive their credentials to log into the Member Portal to begin scheduling as soon as 24 hours out. WHAT INSPECTION & CERTIFICATION REPRESENTS NOAH is an inspection company performing most inspections remotely. Inspections are performed by Licensed ICC and/or InterNACHI Certified Professional Inspectors. All elements of each inspection record (audio, video, .jpg, .doc, etc.) are archived by Permit number, Address, Seal/Insignia/Mark, VIN (or Other Identifier) & Name of Builder for easy identification in the future. What Inspection & Certification represents, depends on home type (see Home Type Chart) In the case of Tiny Houses on Wheels inspected as RV’s, the Builder certifies compliance with The NOAH+ Standard. NOAH a unbiased 3rd party, who performs and stores inspections as additional evidence of compliance to the Standard. NOAH Seals are numbered, and unique to each individual Structure. NOAH Inspection & Certification is a partnership between the builder, the AHJ (Authority Having Jurisdiction), Manufacturer, DIYer, or Educational Institution, and NOAH’s staff and inspectors to Inspect and Certify compliance with The NOAH Standard(s). NOAH Does NOT Inspect Tiny Houses on Movable Foundations as Modular or Factory Built Homes everywhere. Each state has its own requirements or process to obtain an Insignia for modular or factory-built dwellings. Not all States have determined a specific, separate, approval process for Tiny Homes on movable foundations as dwelling units. NOAH Inspection & Certification is not an unconditional approval of a builder, their product line(s) or particular model(s), manufacturing processes or business practices. The NOAH Certification Seal represents the builder’s compliance with NOAH’s Standard(s). The NOAH+ Standard is a minimum requirement for certification, although builders may choose to exceed these standards by choosing to build to the NOAH Dwelling Standard. The NOAH+ Standard incorporates safety & construction standards currently used by the Recreational Vehicle & Home Building industries, with particular attention to the unique demands of a Tiny House on Wheels. The NOAH Dwelling Standard incorporates safety & construction standards currently used by the Home Building industry. A NOAH Certification Seal displayed in the main door frame provides a visible symbol & confirmation of THAT Tiny House on Wheels successfully completing the entire inspection process performed by NOAH inspectors. NOAH Certification Seals are numbered & unique to each individual Tiny House on Wheels. All elements of each inspection record (audio, video, .jpg, .doc, etc.) are archived by Certification Seal number, VIN number (or other identifier), Name of Builder (Manufacturer, School, or Do-It-Yourselfer) for easy identification in the future. Members are welcome to submit any other digitized information specific to the home, to have it included in the CIAR (Complete Inspection Archive Record) for the home. Even the digital version of the manual for the mini-split and/or other appliances, would be added information that current and future owners would appreciate. Inspection Records are retrievable for review (by lenders, insurers, individual owners, municipalities, etc.) for compliance to future standards not currently in place at the time of the build. NOAH Certification provides the unique distinction & credibility of a third-party inspection of EACH Tiny House on Wheels. NOAH Inspection & Certification guarantees the Structure bearing the NOAH Seal has successfully passed inspection at specific phases of construction for compliance to Safety, Structural & Energy Efficiency Standards currently used by the Recreational Vehicle & Home Building Industries. WHAT INSPECTION & CERTIFICATION DOES NOT REPRESENT What Inspection & Certification represents, depends on home type (see Home Type Chart) NOAH Inspection & Certification is a voluntary program for builders to demonstrate compliance with Safety, Structural & Energy Efficiency Standards for consumer confidence in the product(s) they produce. NOAH, in response to recent trends and in an effort to continue to provide our members with every option, have begun applying for and receiving approval as a 3rd Party Inspection Company for Modular Built Housing in various states. Please inquire at info@noahcertified.org to see if NOAH is already approved to perform these types of inspections in your state. NOAH is not a government agency or agent. NOAH is an independent corporation & an Accredited Trade Association serving the Alternative Housing Industry. NOAH collaborates with government municipalities & community developers to harmonize multiple Standards of Safety, Structural & Energy Efficiency Standards in an effort to meet the needs of the rapidly evolving industry. NOAH Inspection & Certification does not guarantee lending approval, insurance coverage or placement of Structures. CONFIDENTIALITY Confidentiality with respect to your private information is of utmost importance to NOAH. Therefore, as NOAH Members, we assure you that the statements below are strictly adhered to: NOAH is responsible, through legally enforceable commitments, for the management of all information obtained or created during the performance of inspection activities. NOAH informs the Member, in advance and in writing, of the information it intends to place in the public domain, if any. When NOAH is required by law or authorized by contractual commitments to release confidential information, the member or individual concerned is notified in writing of the information provided. Information about the member obtained from sources other than the client (e.g., complainant, regulators) is treated as confidential. Inspection records are available to the builder/homeowner upon request (through the Builder), after the account is current, the Final Inspection has passed, and a NOAH Certified Certification Seal has been issued. Please send your request to info@noahcertified.org. If a builder or Company has closed. or is otherwise unreachable, the Builder agrees to relinquish all Inspection Records back to NOAH.

At NOAH RDI’s discretion, upon failure of the Member to comply with the Membership Manual, said action may result in the suspension or dismissal of Membership. Where homes on movable foundations are concerned, the Member agrees to build only on Department of Transportation approved trailer frames sufficient for the size and weight of the movable Structure and its contents. The Member agrees to maintain a sufficient smart device, WIFI and internet connection for inspection purposes. An insufficient connection at the time of the inspection, will result in a failed inspection and could be subject to a re-inspect fee.

Each unit will receive a Seal stating: Builder certifies compliance with the ‘Applicable Standard‘. The PARTIES understand and voluntarily agree as follows: 1. An INSPECTOR agrees to perform, with the cooperation of the BUILDER, a digitized inspection of the Structure. NOAH RDI will provide the Builder with a copy of the digitized inspection record (upon request after completing all inspections, achieving a pass status, and full payment has been received) and a Certificate of Compliance identifying the Structure and its apparent compliance with the Applicable Standard. 2. BUILDER also understands that NOAH RDI uses INSPECTORS that are certified professionals. However, NOAH RDI has no control over INSPECTOR or representations made by INSPECTOR and does not directly supervise INSPECTOR, outside of Training. • Unless otherwise indicated below, BUILDER understands that INSPECTOR will NOT be testing for the presence of Radon, a colorless, odorless, radioactive gas that may be harmful to humans. • Unless otherwise indicated below, BUILDER understands that INSPECTOR will NOT be testing for mold. • Unless otherwise indicated in separate writing, BUILDER understands that, with the exception of the Applicable Standard, the INSPECTOR will not inspect for compliance with other building codes or for the presence of potential dangers arising from asbestos, lead paint, formaldehyde, molds, soil contamination, and other environmental hazards or violations. 1.

BUILDER waives any claim for consequential, exemplary, special, or incidental damages or for the loss of the use of the Structure even if the BUILDER has been advised of the possibility of such damages. The PARTIES acknowledge that the liquidated damages are not intended as a penalty but are intended to: • reflect the fact that actual damages may be difficult and impractical to ascertain. • allocate risk among NOAH RDI, INSPECTOR and BUILDER; and • enable NOAH RDI to perform the Inspection and Certification at the stated fee structure. 1. INSPECTOR does not perform engineering, architectural, plumbing, or any other job function requiring an occupational license in the jurisdiction where the inspection is taking place.

Subcontractor Services With regards to possibly utilizing a sub-contractor during any stage of inspection: NOAH values your business and, in an effort, to fully communicate our intentions, we will notify you by email 24 hours prior, of NOAH RDI’s intention to utilize a subcontractor’s services with regards to your build. A subcontractor’s services may be required to augment current staff due to an influx of inspections. In the event that a subcontractor’s services are required, their licenses and certifications for the field being inspected will be verified by NOAH RDI. It is very important to NOAH RDI to maintain the same level of quality for every build. We do this working with industry leaders and experts. Sometimes this includes utilizing the services of a subcontractor.
