Seller represents that all handling, recovery, and disposal of refrigerants in the sold HVAC equipment was performed in full compliance with EPA Section 608 regulations. Buyer acknowledges receipt of equipment free of residual refrigerant leaks and assumes all future liability for maintenance and disposal under these federal standards as incorporated into Ohio licensing requirements. This provision mitigates refrigerant leak liability for the Ohio HVAC contractor and confirms that proper evacuation and documentation occurred prior to transfer, consistent with industry best practices for systems containing R-410A or similar. Any post-sale claims related to refrigerant handling are expressly disclaimed.
This Bill of Sale is executed in accordance with Ohio Rev. Code Ann. § 1335.05, Ohio's Statute of Frauds, to ensure enforceability for transactions valued over $500. The parties affirm that this writing contains all material terms of the sale of the described HVAC equipment, including SEER ratings, load calculation verification where applicable, and payment details. No oral modifications shall be valid. This satisfies Ohio-specific requirements for written contracts involving goods and protects the HVAC contractor from claims that the transfer of ownership was not properly documented under state law.
Seller provides a limited warranty only as expressly stated in the attached specifications or manufacturer documents, covering defects in materials for a period not exceeding one year from sale date. Seller makes no warranties regarding performance of SEER ratings, energy efficiency, or compliance with ASHRAE standards beyond the date of sale. Equipment is otherwise sold 'as-is' where permitted. Buyer accepts responsibility for all subsequent maintenance, including filter changes and ductwork inspections. This clause limits equipment failure claims and aligns with Ohio Consumer Sales Practices Act by providing clear disclosure of warranty scope for HVAC contractors operating in Ohio.
Buyer agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Seller, its agents, and employees from any claims arising from property damage, personal injury, or mechanic's liens related to the installed or sold HVAC equipment after the date of this Bill of Sale. Seller warrants it has clear title free of liens under Ohio Rev. Code Ann. § 1311.01 et seq. This provision addresses common liabilities for Ohio HVAC contractors, including those stemming from prior installations or modifications, ensuring the buyer assumes risks associated with integration into existing building systems.
