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 Seller is a Doula and not a licensed medical professional. The items sold hereunder are intended for non-medical labor support and comfort measures only. The Seller provides no warranty, express or implied, that the equipment is suitable for medical diagnosis or treatment, and the Buyer assumes all risk associated with the use of these items in a birth or postpartum setting.
Pursuant to the Tennessee Consumer Protection Act, this sale is strictly 'AS-IS' and 'WHERE-IS.' The Seller, acting as an independent contractor under Tenn. Code Ann. § 62-6-111, disclaims all implied warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose. The Buyer has had the opportunity to inspect the goods and accepts them in their current professional condition.
The Buyer agrees to indemnify and hold the Seller harmless from any and all claims, including legal fees, arising from birth outcomes, injuries, or property damage involving the equipment after the transfer of title. This includes, but is not limited to, scope of practice violations or medical advice boundaries related to the use of the items sold.

Whether you are selling a birth tub, TENS machine, or transferring educational materials to a fellow birth worker, a formal Bill of Sale is essential for Tennessee doulas. It establishes a clear paper trail for tax purposes, limits your liability under the Tennessee Consumer Protection Act by documenting 'as-is' sales, and ensures you aren't held responsible for the medical-adjacent use of equipment once it leaves your possession.
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. Under Tenn. Code Ann. § 29-2-101 (Statute of Frauds), tangible goods exceeding specific values or those with unique warranties should have a written record. It clarifies that you are not providing a medical warranty for the birth equipment being sold.
No. A Bill of Sale is for the transfer of tangible items (like birth pools or books). For labor support, prenatal visits, or on-call services, you must use a Doula Service Agreement to define your non-medical scope of practice.
Tennessee recognizes 'As-Is' disclaimers. Given the sensitive nature of birth equipment, explicitly stating the item is sold without warranties helps protect you from claims related to birth outcomes or equipment failure under state consumer laws.
