Transferring ownership of a digital education business in Maryland requires more than a simple receipt. Whether you are selling your entire course library, LMS database, or specific webinar assets, you must comply with the Maryland Statute of Frauds (Md. Code Com. Law § 2-201) for transactions over $500. This Bill of Sale protects course creators against common industry risks like refund disputes and plagiarism claims by formalizing the transfer of intellectual property while ensuring compliance with the Maryland Personal Information Protection Act regarding student data. By explicitly defining governing law and 'as-is' status, you mitigate liabilities related to income volatility and platform dependency.
Beyond the standard bill of sale sections, this template adds fields specific to Online Course Creator:

Refund disputes
Incorporating clear refund policies in terms and conditions, ensuring compliance with consumer protection laws.
Plagiarism claims
Using warranties and indemnities in contracts to guarantee the originality of content and handling of any claims.
Intellectual property infringement
Drafting comprehensive terms of use and securing licenses for third-party material used in courses.
Platform dependency issues

Under Md. Code Com. Law § 2-201, any sale of goods—which can include tangible components of your course or packaged digital assets—valued at $500 or more must be in writing to be legally enforceable. This Bill of Sale provides the necessary written record to satisfy Maryland law.
Yes, but it must be done carefully. The Maryland Personal Information Protection Act imposes specific duties on businesses. Your Bill of Sale should specify that the buyer assumes all data protection duties for the enrolled student list and LMS data being transferred.
Maryland has strict limitations under Md. Code Lab. & Empl. § 3-716, specifically prohibiting non-compete agreements for low-wage workers. While selling a business or high-value intellectual property generally allows for broader restrictive covenants, ensure any associated labor transitions comply with the Maryland Wage Payment and Collection Law.
Our Bill of Sale includes a Seller’s Representations section where you confirm you are the legal owner under the U.S. Copyright Act. This protects the buyer from future third-party claims and protects you by clearly defining the 'completion rate' or 'drip content' status at the time of transfer.
