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. This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective heirs, executors, administrators, legal representatives, successors, and assigns.
The Buyer acknowledges that the janitorial assets may include industrial cleaning chemicals regulated by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). Upon execution of this Bill of Sale, the Buyer assumes all responsibility for the safe handling, storage, and disposal of said chemicals in accordance with the Hazard Communication Standard. The Seller shall not be held liable for any chemical exposure, spills, or environmental violations occurring after the Date of Sale.
The parties acknowledge that pursuant to Md. Code Lab. & Empl. § 3-716, any non-compete agreements associated with this transfer are void for employees earning less than $15 per hour or $31,200 annually. Seller represents that all final wages, including accrued benefits due under the Maryland Wage Payment and Collection Law (Md. Code Lab. & Empl. § 3-501 et seq.), have been or will be paid to any staff associated with these janitorial assets prior to the closing of this sale, and Buyer assumes no liability for Seller’s past wage obligations.
All janitorial equipment is sold 'AS-IS' per Maryland commercial standards. Seller provides no warranty against property damage caused by equipment malfunction after the transfer. Buyer understands that improper use of high-pressure cleaning equipment or industrial floor buffers carries inherent risks, and Buyer hereby indemnifies Seller against any third-party claims for property damage or personal injury arising from Buyer's use of the assets post-sale.

When liquidating janitorial assets, selling a recurring contract route, or transferring commercial cleaning equipment in Maryland, a standard receipt is insufficient. You need a document that addresses Maryland's specific Statute of Frauds (Md. Code Com. Law § 2-201) and protects you from future property damage or chemical exposure liability. This Bill of Sale ensures that once the keys, industrial vacuums, or floor buffers change hands, your liability ends and your ownership transfer is indisputable.
Beyond the standard bill of sale sections, this template adds fields specific to Cleaning Company:
