As an online course creator in California, your digital assets and LMS configurations are high-value property. Whether you are selling a specific curriculum or an entire course brand, a standard template won't cutting it. To satisfy Cal. Civ. Code § 1624 (Statute of Frauds) for sales exceeding $500 and ensure your intellectual property transfer doesn't trigger CCPA data handling liabilities, you need a document that specifically addresses digital delivery, platform dependency, and original authorship warranties. This Bill of Sale protects you against plagiarism claims and future refund disputes by clearly defining the point of transfer and 'as-is' status of your webinar materials and drip content.
