In the high-stakes North Carolina catering industry, transferring ownership of specialized kitchen assets—from convection ovens to refrigeration units—requires more than a handshake. Our Bill of Sale ensures compliance with the N.C. Statute of Frauds (N.C. Gen. Stat. § 25-2-201) for transactions over $500 and provides the 'As-Is' protections necessary to mitigate food safety liability and FSMA hazard concerns. Whether you are upgrading your fleet or liquidating assets from a tasting menu expansion, this document formalizes the transfer, establishes clear payment terms, and includes the required North Carolina-specific warranties and disclaimers to prevent future ownership disputes or claims of deceptive trade practices.
Beyond the standard bill of sale sections, this template adds fields specific to Catering Company:
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.
Food Safety Liability
Contracts contain clauses requiring compliance with health department standards and insurance coverage for foodborne illnesses.
Event Cancellation
Inclusion of cancellation clauses and non-refundable deposit stipulations in contracts to cover costs and minimize losses.
Yes, under N.C. Gen. Stat. § 25-2-201, any sale of goods priced at $500 or more must be in writing to be legally enforceable. Additionally, for catering businesses, a formal Bill of Sale helps document that equipment once under your hazard analysis and preventive controls (FSMA) has been legally transferred, limiting your ongoing food safety liability.
An 'As-Is' disclaimer is a critical recommended clause that informs the buyer they are accepting the equipment in its current state. In North Carolina, this protects you from future claims regarding the equipment's fitness for a particular purpose—such as specific dietary accommodation or high-volume event service—provided you have not engaged in unfair or deceptive trade practices under N.C. Gen. Stat. § 75-1.1.
No. While a Bill of Sale transfers the physical assets (like ovens or delivery vans), food service establishment licenses and health department approvals are generally non-transferable in North Carolina. The buyer must apply for their own permits and undergo a new health department inspection as required by local NC health regulations.
