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.

In the high-stakes Ohio catering industry, transferring ownership of specialized kitchen equipment, service vans, or food inventory requires more than a handshake. Under Ohio Rev. Code § 1335.05 (Statute of Frauds), transactions exceeding $500 must be in writing to be enforceable. Whether you are liquidating assets, updating your 'tasting menu' hardware, or selling a portion of your business, a detailed Bill of Sale mitigates food safety liabilities and ensures compliance with the Ohio Consumer Sales Practices Act. Our document provides the specific 'As-Is' disclaimers and governing law clauses necessary to protect your catering enterprise from post-sale disputes.
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.
Under Ohio Rev. Code § 1335.05, any contract for the sale of goods valued at $500 or more must be in writing. For catering companies selling heavy-duty ovens, refrigeration units, or delivery vehicles, a formal Bill of Sale is legally required to prove the transfer of ownership and protect both parties in litigation.
While FSMA (Food Safety Modernization Act) governs operational safety, the Bill of Sale includes essential 'As-Is' and 'Warranties and Disclaimers' clauses. These clarify that once the items—such as temperature-controlled transport units—are sold, the buyer acknowledges their condition, significantly reducing the seller's risk if the buyer later mishandles the equipment.
While general property transfers may only require signatures, high-value catering equipment or those involving motor vehicles (like mobile kitchens) often require notarization to be valid in Ohio. Our document structure allows for Notarization or Witness Verification as recommended for Ohio business compliance.
In Ohio, food service establishment licenses are generally not transferable between entities. The Bill of Sale formalizes the transfer of physical assets, but the buyer must still apply for their own permits through the local Ohio county health department.
