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 Bill of Sale is executed under the laws of the State of Michigan. If the Seller is engaged in the business of selling goods of this type, this transaction is subject to the Michigan Consumer Protection Act (MCL § 445.901 et seq.). The Seller warrants that they have full legal title to the property and the right to sell the same, free and clear of all liens and encumbrances. In accordance with the Michigan Uniform Commercial Code, the Seller makes no other warranties beyond those expressly stated herein, and the property is sold 'As-Is' unless otherwise specified in writing.
The Parties acknowledge that the items purchased (e.g., birth tubs, tensile labor aids, reference materials) are provided for non-medical comfort measures and educational purposes only. The Seller, acting in the capacity of a Doula, does not provide medical advice or performed clinical tasks. In accordance with Michigan law regarding the practice of medicine, these goods are not intended for use in the diagnosis, cure, mitigation, treatment, or prevention of disease, and the Buyer assumes all responsibility for the safe and appropriate use of said items.
If the sale includes electronic hardware or physical files (such as client logs or birth plans), the Seller warrants that all Personal Health Information (PHI) has been removed in compliance with applicable standards. If any residual data is found, the Buyer agrees to destroy such information immediately and notify the Seller. This provision is intended to align with the spirit of the Michigan Social Security Number Privacy Act and federal privacy standards.

As a doula in Michigan, transitioning your practice or selling birth equipment requires professional documentation to protect against liability and meet state-specific financial standards. Whether you are selling birth pools, lactation equipment, or professional inventory, a customized Bill of Sale ensures you comply with the Michigan Consumer Protection Act while clearly defining the non-medical nature of the items sold, mitigating risks related to birth outcome liability and scope of practice.
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
Yes. A Bill of Sale specifically documents the transfer of physical goods (like birth tubs or TENS machines) or recorded intellectual property (like birth plan libraries), whereas a Service Agreement covers labor support and postpartum care. Under MCL 566.132, any sale or agreement that cannot be completed within one year must be in writing to be enforceable.
Including an 'As-Is' clause in your Michigan Bill of Sale protects you from implied warranties of merchantability under the Michigan Consumer Protection Act. It shifts the burden to the buyer to verify the safety and sanitation of the item before purchase.
While certification from bodies like DONA or ICEA is voluntary in Michigan, truthfully representing your credentials during a sale is required to avoid violations of the Michigan Consumer Protection Act regarding deceptive business practices.
