#### 4. Title

**Body:** The Seller states that it is the lawful owner of the equipment, has the right to sell it, and that it is free of liens, security interests and encumbrances. The Seller will provide a written lien release from any lender that held a security interest before or at the time of release.

## Content

**Intro:** A bill of sale is the short document that proves a machine changed hands, on what terms and with what promises. For used CNC machines, presses and other plant equipment, a clean bill of sale protects the buyer on title and the seller on condition. Fill in the form and export it to PDF or Word.

**Sections:**

#### How to use the template

**Body:** Enter both legal entity names exactly as they appear on registration documents, then the make, model, year and serial number copied from the machine nameplate, not from the advert. List accessories separately because disputes about tool holders, conveyors and manuals are common. Pick the condition basis that matches the negotiated deal, set the governing law, and export. Print two copies and sign both. Attach the nameplate photo and any lien release to your copy.

**Bullets:**

- Copy the serial number from the physical nameplate
- List every accessory, option and software license included
- Agree who disconnects utilities and who rigs
- Keep the signed copy with the asset record in your ERP

#### What each clause does

**Body:** The equipment clause fixes exactly what is sold. The price clause links the transfer of title to cleared funds, which stops a buyer from taking a machine on a bounced payment. The condition clause is where as-is wording lives; buyers often accept as-is when the price already reflects condition, but should insist on inspection before release. The title clause is the one that matters most to the buyer: a seller who does not own free of liens cannot give clean title, and a lender may follow the machine.

#### Worked example

**Body:** A shop buys a 2016 vertical machining center for USD 48,500. The seller still owes a bank on the machine. The bill of sale requires a lien release before the machine leaves the plant. The buyer pays by wire, receives the release, checks the serial number against the nameplate and signs the initials table. The fixed asset is then created with the serial number, purchase price and in-service date, which also supports depreciation and insurance records.

#### Common mistakes

**Body:** Frequent problems are wrong entity names, missing serial numbers, no lien check, silent accessory exclusions, and no statement of who carries risk during transport. Cross-border sales also need export classification, because some machine tools are controlled. Do not treat this form as a substitute for a security interest search on high value equipment.

**Cta:** If you want machine purchase records, serial numbers and asset data pulled from your ERP into documents like this automatically, Netray can help build that on your own systems.

**Faq:**

#### Is a bill of sale enough to transfer ownership of a machine?

**Answer:** In most places a signed bill of sale together with payment and delivery transfers ownership for ordinary equipment. Titled assets and some regulated equipment need extra registration. Check local rules and look for liens before paying.

#### What does as is, where is mean?

**Answer:** It means the buyer takes the machine in its current condition at its current location, with no promise about performance. It does not remove the seller's duty to have good title, and the exact effect depends on local law.

#### Should the serial number be on the document?

**Answer:** Yes. The serial number ties the paper to one physical machine, supports insurance and depreciation records, and helps resolve disputes about substituted equipment. Always read it from the nameplate.

#### Do I need a lawyer?

**Answer:** For low value equipment a clear bill of sale is often enough. For high value machines, equipment with lender interest, or cross-border sales, have counsel review it. This template is a starting point only.
