An asset purchase agreement is a contract used to buy and sell specific assets, rather than an ownership interest in a company, with terms that govern scope, price, risk, and post-closing steps.

The amount paid for the assets, including adjustments, credits, or holdbacks as agreed.
Statements made by the seller and, where applicable, the buyer, about the condition of assets and related facts at signing.
A provision obligating a party to compensate the other for losses caused by breaches or misrepresentation.
