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 Seller, acting in the capacity of a Doula, hereby transfers the Item(s) with the express understanding that they are intended for non-medical birth and postpartum support only. The Buyer acknowledges that the Seller is not a medical professional, and the transfer of this Item does not include medical advice or clinical instruction. The Seller specifically disclaims any liability for birth outcomes or injuries resulting from the use of the Item(s) in a clinical or home-birth setting, in accordance with California common law liability limitations for non-medical birth workers.
Pursuant to Cal. Civ. Code § 1792.3, the Item(s) are sold 'As-Is' and 'With All Faults.' The Seller makes no express or implied warranties regarding the fitness of the equipment for a specific medical purpose or birth plan. The Buyer assumes the entire risk as to the quality and performance of the goods. Seller further clarifies that any and all liabilities related to Cal-OSHA safety standards for the Item(s) transfer to the Buyer upon delivery of the Bill of Sale.
The Parties agree that this transaction is a strictly commercial sale of goods and is not intended to, nor shall it be construed to, create any employment relationship, joint venture, or partnership under California Labor Code §§ 2750.3 or 3351. The Buyer acknowledges they are not an employee of the Seller and that the price paid represents the fair market value of the Item, not compensation for birth support services.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Parties have executed this Bill of Sale as of the date first written above, each acknowledging receipt of a copy of this Agreement.

Whether you are selling a birth tub, TENS machine, or transferring physical postpartum support assets, a California-specific Bill of Sale is critical. In a high-stakes industry like birth support, documented ownership transfer protects you from scope-of-practice liabilities and ensures compliance with California’s strict worker classification (AB5) and consumer privacy (CCPA) standards. This document provides the 'as-is' protections needed for birth equipment while formalizing the transaction under California Civil Code § 1624.
Beyond the standard bill of sale sections, this template adds fields specific to Doula:
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.
Birth Outcome Liability
Include disclaimers in contracts that clarify the doula's role as non-medical and state explicitly that birth outcomes cannot be guaranteed.
Scope of Practice Violations
Draft clear scope of service documents that delineate non-medical support functions to avoid accusations of unauthorized medical practice.
Medical Advice Boundaries
Explicit contractual terms prohibiting the provision of medical advice and adherence to guidelines that require referral to medical professionals for medical issues.
For this bill of sale to be legally valid:
Common mistakes to avoid:
State Regulations
The regulation of doulas is predominantly at the state level. Few states, such as Oregon and Minnesota, have voluntary doula certification programs. These programs often provide guidelines on practice standards and client collaboration.
Enforced by State Health Departments
HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act)
While doulas are not typically covered entities under HIPAA, those who work within or have affiliations to healthcare systems may need to adhere to HIPAA standards to ensure the protection of client privacy and medical information.
Enforced by U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Office for Civil Rights (HHS OCR)
Recommended coverage: Professional Liability Insurance (Errors & Omissions) · General Liability Insurance
A Bill of Sale is specifically for the transfer of tangible items like birth pools, education kits, or lactation supplies. For doula services, labor support, and on-call availability, you should use a Service Agreement to avoid medical advice liability and define non-medical scope of practice.
While AB5 primarily governs the ABC test for worker classification, maintaining clear documentation of one-time transactions (like a Bill of Sale) helps distinguish your independent business operations from an employment relationship, protecting your status as an independent birth professional.
Under California Civil Code, most personal property transfers do not strictly require notarization to be valid; however, for high-value items like premium medical-grade birth tubs or specialized monitoring equipment over $500, notarization provides an extra layer of authentication to prevent future disputes.
