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. This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective heirs, executors, administrators, legal representatives, successors, and assigns.
Pursuant to the Copyright Act of 1976 and O.C.G.A. § 13-3-40, Seller (Artist) hereby transfers to Buyer only those specific usage rights identified in the Item Description. Unless specifically noted as a 'Full Buyout,' Seller retains all underlying intellectual property rights and moral rights to the vocal performance. Buyer is strictly prohibited from using the provided audio for Artificial Intelligence (AI) voice synthesis, cloning, or machine learning training without an additional, separate written instrument signed by both parties.
To the extent this Sale includes an exclusivity arrangement, the parties agree that such restrictions are intended to comply with O.C.G.A. § 13-8-50 et seq. The parties acknowledge that the duration and geographic scope defined herein are reasonable and necessary to protect the Buyer's business interests while allowing the Artist to continue earning a livelihood in non-competing categories, consistent with Georgia's public policy on fair business practices.
The Purchase Price is due upon delivery of the final master files. In accordance with Georgia law regarding consideration, failure to pay the full Purchase Price within 30 days shall render the transfer of usage rights voidable. Any late payments shall accrue interest at the rate specified in this document or the maximum rate allowed by Georgia law. In the event of a collection action, Buyer shall be responsible for Artist’s reasonable attorney’s fees as permitted under O.C.G.A. § 13-1-11.

In the Georgia voiceover industry, oral agreements regarding 'raw audio' or 'demo reels' often lead to costly usage rights disputes. Because Georgia follows the Statute of Frauds (O.C.G.A. § 13-5-30) for sales over $500 and strictly interprets restrictive covenants (O.C.G.A. § 13-8-50), having a written Bill of Sale is essential. This document formalizes the transfer of ownership of your recordings while clearly defining whether you are granting a total buyout or limited usage, ensuring you get paid and protected against unauthorized AI training or extended broadcast use.
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 O.C.G.A. § 13-5-30, any agreement that cannot be performed within one year or involves the sale of goods over $500 must be in writing. For voiceover artists, this means your buyout agreements and multi-year usage licenses are generally unenforceable in Georgia courts unless documented in a signed Bill of Sale.
Yes, but it must comply with O.C.G.A. § 13-8-50 (Georgia Restrictive Covenants Act). To be enforceable, the exclusivity must be reasonable in duration, geographic scope, and the specific categories of products or services restricted. Overly broad 'all-media' exclusivity is often struck down by Georgia judges.
Yes. Our Bill of Sale allows you to explicitly define the Purchase Price as either a session fee (labor) or a total buyout (transfer of intellectual property rights), preventing the buyer from claiming ownership of your voice likeness beyond the agreed-upon usage.
