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.
The Artist warrants that the Recordings provided do not infringe upon the Copyright Act of 1976. The Buyer acknowledges that any broadcast of said recordings via radio or television must comply with all applicable Federal Communications Commission (FCC) regulations. The Seller grants only the specific usage rights outlined in this Bill of Sale; any use beyond the specified territory, duration, or medium constitutes a material breach and may be subject to additional session fees and statutory damages.
The Purchase Price includes the number of revisions specified in the project terms. Any 'pick-up sessions' or revisions requested after the delivery of the final raw audio that exceed the agreed-upon limit—or that result from script changes made by the Buyer after the initial recording—shall be billed as new sessions at the Artist's then-current rates. This provision is intended to prevent disputes over the scope of work under the Indiana Deceptive Consumer Sales Act.
Pursuant to Ind. Code § 22-5-3-2, any exclusivity or non-compete restrictions associated with this sale must be reasonable in scope, duration, and geographical area to protect a legitimate business interest. Unless explicitly stated in the Description of Item, this sale does not grant the Buyer exclusivity, and the Seller remains an 'at-will' independent contractor free to perform services for other entities across all industries.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Parties have executed this Bill of Sale as of the date first written above, each acknowledging receipt of a copy of this Agreement.

In the voiceover industry, the 'item' being sold is often the raw audio or a specific licensed performance. Without a clear Bill of Sale, Indiana voiceover artists face significant risks regarding usage rights disputes and non-payment. This document formalizes the transfer of ownership or licensing for demo reels and session files while ensuring compliance with Indiana's Statute of Frauds (Ind. Code § 32-21-1-1) for transactions exceeding $500 and the Indiana Deceptive Consumer Sales Act to protect both artist and client from unfair trade practices.
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

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 Ind. Code § 32-21-1-1, any contract for the sale of goods (including digital audio files) valued at $500 or more must be in writing to be enforceable. A formal Bill of Sale provides the necessary written evidence to protect your session fees and usage rights.
A buyout typically refers to a one-time payment for perpetual use, whereas usage rights define specific limits on time, territory, or media (e.g., radio vs. TV). It is critical to specify these in the Description of Item field to avoid FCC compliance issues or exclusivity conflicts.
Yes. By detailing the purchase price and payment terms, this document creates a clear obligation. Indiana's wage and contract laws (Ind. Code § 22-2-2) support timely payment for services rendered, and this Bill of Sale serves as primary evidence if a collection action or lien is required.
