in the shape/state and form

Just another largely useless "doublon", not that we don't do them in English too.

Actually, I think your whole sentence could be simplified down to "as is", or "as it stands, in its present state and form, and barring further specifications herein, ...". I doubt the English translation is likely to be legally binding, and is probably just for guidance for English buyers, no?
Peer comment(s):

agree Sandra Petch : I was thinking "something and form" except the "something" just wouldn't come to mind! "State and form", bien zûr !

neutral writeaway : French is much vaguer. you are adding terms that aren't there. treating this as not legally binding doesn't mean that the choice of words doesn't matter.
