The As Is Sales Contract is designed for transactions under German law where goods are sold in their present condition, with the buyer accepting them in their current state. This document type is particularly useful for sales of used equipment, pre-owned goods, or assets where the seller wishes to limit future liability while still complying with mandatory German legal requirements. It includes detailed descriptions of the goods' condition, known defects, and clear acknowledgments from both parties about the nature of the transaction. The contract must carefully balance the "as is" nature of the sale with non-excludable warranties and disclosure obligations under German law, making it suitable for both business-to-business and business-to-consumer transactions where transparency about the goods' condition is essential.
