Method and system to generate a portable contract document

Abstract

A method and system to generate a portable contract document are provided. The system may include a description module, a price module and a contract document generator. The description module may be configured to receive, from a potential buyer, identification information associated with a sale item. The price module may be configured to receive, from the potential buyer, a price information associated with the sale item. The contract document generator may be configured to respond to a request by the potential buyer by automatically generating a contract document for a sale of the sale item, utilizing the identification information and the price information.

         14 . A computer-implemented method, the method comprising:
 receiving, from a potential buyer, identification information associated with a sale item;   receiving, from the potential buyer, a price information associated with the sale item; and   responding to a request from the potential buyer by automatically generating a contract document for a sale of the sale item, utilizing the identification information and the price information, to allow the potential buyer to distribute the generated contract document to a seller of the sale item.   
     
     
         15 . The method of  claim 14 , further comprising providing verification information associated with the contract document. 
     
     
         16 . The method of  claim 14 , further comprising responding to a verification request from the potential buyer by providing title verification information for the sale item, the sale item being a motor vehicle. 
     
     
         17 . The method of  claim 14 , further comprising responding to a request from the potential buyer by providing verification information associated with a seller of the sale item.

         19 . The method of  claim 14 , further comprising:
 receiving, from the potential buyer, a selection of a funding source; and   utilizing the selected funding source information in the generating of the contract document.   
     
     
         20 . The method of  claim 14 , further comprising forwarding the contract document to one or more sellers. 
     
     
         21 . The method of  claim 14 , further comprising including a designation of an electronic payment processing service into the contract document. 
     
     
         22 . The method of  claim 21 , further comprising displaying a capped fee associated with the electronic payment processing service. 
     
     
         23 . The method of  claim 21 , wherein the electronic payment processing service includes a chargeback capability. 
     
     
         24 . A machine-readable medium having instruction data to cause a machine to:
 receive, from a potential buyer, identification information associated with a sale item;   receive, from the potential buyer, a price information associated with the sale item; and   respond to a request by the potential buyer by automatically generating a contract document for a sale of the sale item, utilizing the identification information and the price information.   
     
     
         25 . A system comprising:
 means for receiving, from a potential buyer, identification information associated with a sale item;   means for receiving, from the potential buyer, a price information associated with the sale item; and   means for responding to a request from the potential buyer by automatically generating a contract document for a sale of the sale item, utilizing the identification information and the price information, to allow the potential buyer to distribute the generated contract document to a seller of the sale item.
