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.

As an Ohio General Contractor, transferring heavy machinery or surplus materials requires more than a handshake. Under Ohio Rev. Code Ann. § 1335.05 (Statute of Frauds), transactions exceeding $500 must be in writing to be enforceable. Whether you are offloading a skid steer or selling unused inventory, a professional Bill of Sale protects you from lien disputes and future liability. Our Ohio-specific template ensures compliance with the Ohio Consumer Sales Practices Act and allows for 'As-Is' disclaimers to mitigate risk regarding equipment mechanical failures or building code violations.
Beyond the standard bill of sale sections, this template adds fields specific to General Contractor:
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.
Workplace Injuries
Contracts typically include indemnity clauses and requirements for subcontractors to carry worker's compensation insurance.
Project Delays
Contracts may have penalty clauses (liquidated damages) for delays, as well as force majeure clauses for uncontrollable events.
While Ohio law does not universally require notarization for all personal property sales, it is highly recommended for high-value construction assets. Notarization provides verification of signatures, which is critical if the equipment is later involved in a mechanic's lien dispute under Ohio Rev. Code Ann. § 1311.01.
To protect yourself from liability for defects, you must include a 'Warranties and Disclaimers' clause. In Ohio, stating the item is sold 'As-Is' signals that the buyer accepts the current condition, which is vital for general contractors to avoid ongoing liability for equipment wear and tear.
Vague descriptions lead to project delays and contractual pain points. Under Ohio law, a detailed description including serial numbers (for machinery) or specific quantities and grades (for materials) is required to ensure the transfer of ownership is legally distinct and enforceable.
Yes. Because Ohio Rev. Code Ann. § 1335.05 requires a written agreement for the sale of goods over $500, this document serves as the 'writing' necessary to satisfy state law and prevent the transaction from being voided.
