Which clause states that the seller has inspected the property for termite damage and has remedied any damage found?

• A. Contingency Clause
• B. Riders
• C. Protection Clause
• D. Termite Clause

Answer: (D)

In a real estate contract, a Termite Clause specifically addresses termite issues by stating that the seller has inspected the property for termite damage and has remedied any damage found. This protects the buyer by ensuring any termite problems are identified and repaired before closing, often including a requirement for a clearance letter or warranty and who pays for the work. It differs from contingencies, which hinge on meeting conditions that could allow cancellation or negotiation if results aren’t satisfactory; it’s not a broad rider or a general protection term, but a dedicated commitment about termites. If the inspection reveals damage, the clause ensures the seller completes the necessary repairs or remedies as a condition of the agreement.
