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.
5.1 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the state in which the transaction is consummated, without regard to its conflict of laws principles. 5.2 Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous agreements, understandings, negotiations, and discussions, whether oral or written, between the Parties relating to the sale and purchase of the Property. 5.3 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision of this Agreement, and the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect. 5.4 Amendment. This Agreement may not be amended, modified, or supplemented except by a written instrument signed by both Parties. 5.5 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. 5.6 Binding Effect.

Seller grants Buyer the specific usage rights as detailed in the 'Usage Rights Scope' section of this Bill of Sale. Pursuant to the Copyright Act of 1976, all rights not expressly transferred in writing remain the property of the Seller. Any use of the recorded audio beyond the agreed territory, duration, or medium shall constitute a material breach of this agreement and require additional compensation to the Seller.
The parties acknowledge that this transfer of ownership is subject to C.R.S. § 8-2-113. No provision of this Bill of Sale shall be interpreted as a covenant not to compete that would restrict the Seller’s right to perform voiceover services for other entities, except where such restrictions are narrowly tailored to protect trade secrets or as otherwise permitted by Colorado law. Any exclusivity must be explicitly defined by product category and duration.
Buyer warrants that the use of the audio recordings shall comply with all applicable Federal Communications Commission (FCC) regulations regarding broadcast content. Seller shall not be held liable for any fines, legal actions, or damages resulting from the Buyer’s failure to adhere to FCC standards or for any defamatory use of the Seller’s voice in the final produced work.

In the voiceover industry, the 'item' being sold is often the ownership or usage rights of a recording. Without a formal Bill of Sale, artists risk unauthorized usage, non-payment for pick-ups, and legal ambiguity regarding copyright transfers. This document provides essential proof of transaction while ensuring compliance with the Colorado Consumer Protection Act and specific state limitations on non-compete clauses (C.R.S. § 8-2-113). By clearly defining the raw audio or finished masters being transferred, you protect your professional reputation and your revenue stream.
Beyond the standard bill of sale sections, this template adds fields specific to Voiceover Artist:
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.
Usage Rights Disputes
Contracts should clearly define the scope, duration, and territory of usage rights to prevent unauthorized use and ensure compliance with agreed terms.
Non-Payment
Contracts can include clear payment terms, milestones, and late fees to protect against non-payment. Including clauses for interest on late payments is also common.
Revision Scope
Setting clear terms in contracts about the number of revisions included in the fee, and costs for additional revisions, can prevent disputes.
Exclusivity Conflicts
Exclusivity clauses should define the duration, territory, and product categories they apply to, ensuring that voiceover artists do not inadvertently breach terms.
For this bill of sale to be legally valid:
Common mistakes to avoid:
Copyright Act of 1976
Voiceover artists must ensure that the use of their recordings does not infringe on existing copyrights. The act governs the protection of the original work and dictates how recorded content can be used and distributed.
Enforced by U.S. Copyright Office
Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Regulations
If a voiceover artist's work is used in radio or television broadcasting, it must comply with FCC regulations that govern the content and nature of broadcasts.

Under C.R.S. § 8-2-113, Colorado strictly limits non-compete agreements. A Bill of Sale cannot be used to indirectly prevent you from working for other clients unless it meets high-level executive or trade secret thresholds. This ensures you can continue branding your voice across different industries without illegal restrictions.
Yes, but only if explicitly stated. Per the U.S. Copyright Office, a transfer of ownership of a copyright is not valid unless it is in writing and signed. This Bill of Sale serves as that written instrument to formalize whether you are selling the 'work for hire' or just licensing specific usage.
Usage rights define where, how long, and in what territory your voice can be used. Including these prevents a client from using a local radio spot for a national TV campaign without paying an additional buyout fee, a common industry liability.
