Certificate of Performance & Limiting Conditions
I Javier Cabral certify the following:
• No warranty is made, expressed or implied, that problems or deficiencies of the trees or the property will not
occur in the future, from any cause. The Arborist shall not be responsible for damages or injuries caused by any
tree defects and assume no responsibility for the correction of defects or tree related problems.
• The owner and client of the trees may choose to accept or disregard the recommendations of the Arborist or
seek additional advice if the owner decides not to accept the Arborists findings or recommendations.
• The Arborist has no past, present or future interest in the removal or preservation of any tree. The opinions
contained in the Arborist report are independent and objective judgements of the Arborist.
• The findings, opinions, and recommendations of the Arborist are based on based on the physical inspection of
said property. The opinions are based on knowledge, experience, and education.
• The Arborist shall not be required to provide testimony, provide site monitoring, provide further documentation
for changes beyond the control of the Arborist, be deposed, or to attend any meeting without contractual
arrangements for additional fees to the Arborist.
• The Arborist assumes no responsibility for verification of ownership or location of property lines, or for any
recommendations based on inaccurate information.
• This Arborist report may not be reproduced without the expressed written permission or the Arborist and the
client to whom the report was provided to. Any changes or alteration of this report invalidates the entire report .
• Arborists are tree specialists who use their education, knowledge, training and experience to examine
trees, recommend measures to enhance the beauty and health of trees, make recommendations to prevent or
minimize damage to trees during and after con struction projects, and attempt to reduce the risk of living near
trees. Clients may choose to accept or disregard the recommendations of the arborist, or to seek additional
advice.
• Arborists cannot detect every condition that could possibly lead to the structural failure of a tree. Trees
are living organisms that fail in ways we do not fully understand. Conditions are often hidden within trees
and below ground. Arborists cannot guarantee that a tree will be healthy or safe under all circumstances,
or for a specified period of time. Likewise, remedial treatments, like any medicine, cannot be guaranteed.
• Treatment, pruning and removal of trees may involve considerations beyond the scope of the arborist’s
services such as property boundaries, property ownership, site lines, disputes between neighbors, and
other issues. Arborists cannot take such considerations into account unless complete and accurate
information is disclosed to the arborist. An arborist should then be expected to reasonably rely upon the
completeness and accuracy of the information provided.
• Trees can be managed, but they cannot be controlled. To live near trees is to accept some degree of risk.
The only way to eliminate all risk associated with trees is to eliminate all trees.
