The Seller hereby sells, transfers, assigns, and conveys to the Buyer, and the Buyer hereby purchases and accepts from the Seller, the following described personal property (the "Property"): [item_description]. The Buyer acknowledges that the Buyer has had a full and adequate opportunity to inspect the Property prior to the execution of this Agreement and accepts the Property in its current condition as described herein.
The total purchase price for the Property is [sale_price] (the "Purchase Price"), payable in full by the Buyer to the Seller on or before the Sale Date. The Buyer and Seller acknowledge and agree that the Purchase Price represents the fair and agreed-upon value of the Property as negotiated between the Parties at arm's length. Upon receipt of the Purchase Price in full, the Seller shall be deemed to have been fully compensated for the sale, transfer, and conveyance of the Property, and the Seller shall have no further right, title, or interest in or to the Property or the Purchase Price.
The Seller hereby represents and warrants to the Buyer that: (a) the Seller is the sole and lawful owner of the Property and has full right, power, and authority to sell, transfer, and convey the Property to the Buyer; (b) the Property is free and clear of all liens, encumbrances, security interests, pledges, claims, charges, and restrictions of any kind whatsoever; (c) the Seller has not previously sold, transferred, assigned, pledged, or otherwise encumbered the Property or any interest therein to any other person or entity; and (d) the Seller will defend the Buyer's title to the Property against any and all claims and demands of any person or entity claiming an interest therein.
Upon execution of this Agreement and receipt of the Purchase Price in full, the Seller hereby irrevocably transfers, assigns, and conveys to the Buyer all of the Seller's right, title, and interest in and to the Property, free and clear of all liens, encumbrances, and claims of any kind. Title to and risk of loss of the Property shall pass from the Seller to the Buyer upon the execution of this Agreement and payment of the Purchase Price. From and after the transfer of title, the Buyer shall be solely responsible for the Property, including its care, maintenance, insurance, and all risks of loss, damage, theft, or destruction. The Seller agrees to execute and deliver to the Buyer any and all additional documents, instruments, or certificates as may be reasonably necessary or appropriate to evidence or effectuate the transfer of title to the Property.
5.1 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the state in which the transaction is consummated, without regard to its conflict of laws principles. 5.2 Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous agreements, understandings, negotiations, and discussions, whether oral or written, between the Parties relating to the sale and purchase of the Property. 5.3 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision of this Agreement, and the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect. 5.4 Amendment. This Agreement may not be amended, modified, or supplemented except by a written instrument signed by both Parties. 5.5 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. 5.6 Binding Effect.

As an Ohio bookkeeping service owner, your assets—ranging from high-end general ledger software setups to secure servers—require precise documentation during a sale to mitigate industry-specific risks like data breaches or errors in financial records. Under Ohio Rev. Code Ann. § 1335.05, transactions exceeding $500 must be in writing. A customized Bill of Sale ensures that transfer of ownership is formalized with the necessary warranties and disclaimers, effectively managing liabilities involving the GLBA, FTC Safeguards Rule, and Ohio state data breach notification laws. By clearly defining the 'as-is' condition of hardware used for payroll and reconciliation, you protect your legal standing and professional reputation.
Beyond the standard bill of sale sections, this template adds fields specific to Bookkeeping Service Owner:
A Bill of Sale serves the core legal purpose of providing proof of the transfer of ownership of an item from the seller to the buyer. It formalizes the transaction and fulfills the legal need for documentation of the sale, aiding in preventing disputes over ownership and clarifying the terms and conditions agreed upon by the parties involved.
Errors in financial records
Use of engagement letters that specify the scope of services, including limitations on responsibility for financial errors.
Data breaches
Incorporation of confidentiality agreements and data protection clauses that stipulate security measures and limit liability in case of breaches.
Yes. Given your obligations under the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA) and the FTC Safeguards Rule, you should specify that any hardware being sold, such as servers or computers containing client financial records, has been wiped of sensitive data to prevent future liability for data breaches under Ohio's notification laws.
This statute represents Ohio's Statute of Frauds, which requires any contract for the sale of goods over $500 to be in writing and signed by the parties. For a bookkeeping owner selling office equipment or software licenses, a formal Bill of Sale is essential for the contract to be legally enforceable in an Ohio court.
While a Bill of Sale primarily transfers physical or intangible assets (like a client list or software), including 'Warranties and Disclaimers' is highly recommended. You can specifically disclaim any ongoing liability for past financial records or reconciliation errors related to the equipment being sold, consistent with the Ohio Consumer Sales Practices Act.
While not always strictly required for office furniture or software, Ohio law often necessitates or highly recommends notarization for high-value transactions or to ensure the document is self-authenticating in legal disputes, especially when transferring business-critical infrastructure.
