Before you sign
- When is a bill of sale used?
- Arkansas Code 4-2-201, amended by 2025 Act 997, Section 7; effective September 1, 2026: a goods-sale contract priced at $500 or more generally needs a signed record indicating the sale. Enforcement under the general rule is limited to the stated quantity. Merchant confirmations and the statutory exceptions can change the result; this is not a rule that every sale must use a particular bill-of-sale form. Source
- Notary and witnesses
- The reviewed section addresses a signed record and enforceability. It does not establish a universal notarization or witness requirement for a private goods-sale record. Specialized transactions and other applicable laws may impose additional requirements. Source

Details to check in Arkansas
- Identify the goods and quantity precisely: the general signed-record rule does not permit enforcement beyond the quantity shown. Source
- A merchant confirmation, specially manufactured goods, an admission in court, or accepted payment or goods can affect the statutory analysis. A missing signature does not by itself settle every dispute. Source
- FTC guidance distinguishes merchant implied warranties from a private seller’s transaction. A written warranty or service contract can restrict an attempted implied-warranty disclaimer. Source
- Describe known defects and actual express promises. This template contains no blanket waiver of every warranty or remedy.
