Document background
The As Is Bill of Sale is a crucial document used in Swiss jurisdictions when transferring ownership of property or assets without warranties or guarantees. It's particularly relevant when selling used or second-hand items, where the seller wishes to transfer the property in its current condition and the buyer agrees to accept it with all existing defects. This document, governed by Swiss law and particularly the Swiss Code of Obligations (Obligationenrecht), provides clear documentation of the transaction terms, protecting both parties by explicitly stating the "as is" nature of the sale. It's commonly used in both business-to-business and private transactions, especially when selling vehicles, equipment, or other tangible assets where the buyer has had the opportunity to inspect the property and accepts its current condition.
