Document background
The As Is Bill of Sale is commonly used in New Zealand when selling property or goods where the seller wishes to transfer ownership without providing any warranties or guarantees about the item's condition or fitness for purpose. This document is particularly useful for private sales, business-to-business transactions, or situations where the buyer has fully inspected and accepted the property in its current state. The document complies with New Zealand contract law requirements and includes essential elements such as party details, property description, purchase price, and clear "as is" disclaimers. It's frequently used for vehicle sales, equipment transfers, and other tangible property transactions where the buyer assumes all risks regarding the property's condition.
