Frequently asked questions

Do I have to charge sales tax on a private sale in North Carolina?
It depends on what is sold and whether the seller is a dealer. North Carolina's statewide rate is 4.75%, some occasional sales are exempt, and vehicles and other titled property are generally taxed when the buyer titles them.
Does "as is" protect the seller?
A clear, conspicuous as-is clause generally excludes implied warranties of quality, but not the warranty of title, any written promises the seller makes, fraud, or consumer protections that cannot be waived.
What is the difference between the Standard and Professional Purchase Agreement?
The Standard edition is a complete, state-aware Purchase Agreement for common situations. The Professional edition adds longer clause coverage, schedules, and optional modules for more complex matters. You can preview either edition free before you pay.
