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, Seller hereby transfers ownership of the specific recorded audio files identified in this Bill of Sale. However, the scope of use is strictly limited to the 'Usage Rights Scope' defined herein. Any use beyond the agreed-upon territory, duration, or media type shall constitute a breach of contract and copyright infringement. Buyer is prohibited from using the Seller’s voice for AI training, voice cloning, or synthetic voice generation without a separate, written licensing agreement.
This Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of Michigan. Consistent with MCL 423.209, no provision of this sale shall be interpreted to require union membership or the payment of dues to a labor organization. Furthermore, both parties acknowledge the Bullard-Plawecki Employee Right to Know Act (MCL 423.501), granting the right to transparency regarding any performance records associated with this session if the Seller is deemed an employee under Michigan law.
The Purchase Price covers the initial recording and the specified 'Included Revisions'. A revision is defined as a minor change in tone or pace. Any 'Pick-up Session' necessitated by script changes after the initial recording shall be billed at the 'Pick-up Session Fee'. Seller is not liable for delays caused by technical failures on the Buyer's receiving end for live-directed sessions via Source-Connect or similar Michigan-based studio links.

As a Michigan voiceover artist, your audio files are more than just data; they are intellectual property. A standard generic bill of sale often fails to address usage rights and buyouts. This Michigan-specific document ensures your transfer of ownership for raw audio or produced reels is compliant with the Copyright Act of 1976 and Michigan's unique labor statutes, protecting you from unauthorized usage, exclusivity conflicts, and scope creep.
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:

Under MCL 423.209, Michigan is a right-to-work state. This means your Bill of Sale and service terms cannot mandate union membership (such as SAG-AFTRA) or the payment of union dues as a condition of the sale or employment for the project.
The Copyright Act governs the protection of your original recordings. Unless specifically outlined in a Bill of Sale as a 'work made for hire' or a specific rights buyout, you may inadvertently retain or lose ownership of the demo reel or session files.
Yes. The Bullard-Plawecki Employee Right to Know Act (MCL 423.501) allows Michigan workers to inspect their personnel records. Ensuring your Bill of Sale identifies the nature of your engagement helps clarify your rights regarding performance reviews or records kept by the buyer.
Yes, our form allows you to specify the number of included revisions and the cost for pick-up sessions to prevent the common liability of unpaid additional recording time.
