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.

Buying or selling a mobile food unit in Tennessee requires more than a simple handshake; it demands a document that accounts for unique industry risks like health inspection compliance and Tennessee's specific lien laws under Tenn. Code Ann. § 66-11-101. A formal Bill of Sale ensures a clear transfer of title, protects against future foodborne illness claims through robust 'as-is' disclaimers, and provides the documentation needed to secure your Mobile Food Vendor License and Vending Permits from local municipalities.
Beyond the standard bill of sale sections, this template adds fields specific to Food Truck Operator:
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.
Health and Safety Violations
Regularly scheduled health inspections and certifications, detailed logs of sanitation procedures, and employee training documents.
Parking Violations
Contracts with private property owners for designated vending spots, and clear adherence to local parking regulations.
While general bills of sale in Tennessee don't always require notarization, for high-value assets like food trucks, notarization or witness verification is highly recommended to confirm authenticity and prevent disputes. Under Tennessee's Statute of Frauds (Tenn. Code Ann. § 29-2-101), having a written and properly executed document is critical for enforceability.
Permits such as the Health Permit or Fire Department Permit are typically issued to the operator, not the truck itself. Your Bill of Sale should clarify that the buyer is responsible for obtaining their own licensing from the Tennessee Department of Health. The document should include a 'Warranties and Disclaimers' clause stating the truck is sold in its current condition relative to the FDA Food Code guidelines.
If the sale includes an ongoing route schedule or employee contracts, you must comply with Tenn. Code Ann. § 50-1-108 regarding non-compete agreements and Tenn. Code Ann. § 50-2-103 regarding final wage payments for staff. The Bill of Sale should clearly separate the physical asset from any intellectual property or labor agreements.
In Tennessee, an 'As-Is' clause is a standard recommendation to mitigate risk, but it does not exempt you from the TN Consumer Protection Act if material defects were intentionally hidden. A comprehensive Bill of Sale should include clear 'Seller’s Representations' confirming the truck is free from undisclosed liens and meets basic commissary kitchen utility requirements.
