In the high-stakes Florida film industry, transferring ownership of expensive cinema cameras, lighting rigs, or even intellectual property rights requires more than a handshake. Whether you are offloading a B-roll library or selling used RED or Arri kits, you must comply with Fla. Stat. § 672.201 for sales over $500. A specialized Bill of Sale protects your production company from Florida Deceptive and Unfair Trade Practices Act (FDUTPA) claims by clearly defining 'as-is' status, verifying the absence of liens, and ensuring all original licenses, storyboards, and color grading profiles associated with the asset are legally transferred. This document mitigates risks of copyright claims and equipment liability while meeting Florida's unique Statute of Frauds requirements.
Beyond the standard bill of sale sections, this template adds fields specific to Video Production Company:

Use contracts that include warranties of originality and appropriate licensing agreements for footage and music.
Breach of Talent Agreement
Implement clear contractual terms detailing talent obligations, rights, and compensation.
Location Permits and Clearances

While a Bill of Sale primarily transfers physical assets, our template includes provisions for associated intellectual property. This ensures that B-roll, sub-licenses for music, and post-production assets are handled according to the Copyright Act of 1976 and Florida's deceptive trade standards.
The Florida Deceptive and Unfair Trade Practices Act requires transparency. By using a formal Bill of Sale that includes detailed 'Warranties and Disclaimers' or an 'As-Is' clause, you protect your company from being accused of unfair or deceptive commercial practices regarding the condition of the gear.
