Invitee

Invitee

The invitee is the individual who is invited to get in and remain on the premises for a commercial benefit to the possessor of premises, or for a reason directly or indirectly associated with business dealings with the possessor. An invitation can be either express or implied. A customer in a department store is an invitee, because the department store actively invites the public to enter the premises and to purchase merchandise while on the premises. The premises owner owes the highest duty of care to an invitee.

Often, the possessor has a duty to use ordinary care to notify or otherwise protect an invitee from risks of harm resulting from a condition on the possessor's premises when the risk of harm is unreasonable, and a possessor is aware of or in the exercise of ordinary care ought to know of the condition, and must realize that it involves an unreasonable risk of harm to the invitee.

A possessor may have a duty to periodically inspect the premises for the introduction of hazards to invitees. For example, a grocery store may be required to regularly check its floors for the presence of spilled or broken merchandise, and to make sure that the products are not likely to fall from its shelves.
