List only categories of shared accounts and integrations. Have the vendor state what was disabled; have the buyer test what can still be opened.
Vendor offboarding checklist · final-week purchase moment
Four checks before the last invoice becomes archaeology.
This is operational guidance, not legal or compliance advice. Adapt it to your contract and risk review.
Data
Choose return, deletion, agreed retention, or never held. Keep actual exports and customer records in your approved systems—not in the closeout note.
Billing
Name the final invoice, renewal setting, credits, and recurring charges. A cancellation email is not the same as a billing check.
Assets
Close domains, devices, documentation, exports, and any exception with a named next action before both sides disappear.
Need the vendor in the loop?
Turn the checklist into one mutual receipt.
ExitReceipt gives the buyer and vendor separate private links, keeps disagreements open, and freezes only four accepted statements. $20 once.
