Most home inspectors are affiliated with one of several national organizations that use similar language in their home inspection contracts. Usually there is a clause that protects the inspector from damages due to undetected defects.

Most home inspectors would go out of business if they were liable for things they didn't find, and they protect themselves with that fine print. That's why it's a good idea to select one with care. In many states (don't know about NJ), no training or certification of any kind is required to be a "home inspector".
