Contract Amendment

A Contract Amendment is a document that is used to amend or modify the terms and conditions of an existing contract. This document is used only when the parties have entered into an already existing contract or agreement and want to change, add or alter specific areas and not all of their original agreement.

Parties to a contract can use this document to modify any agreement, such as the Memorandum of Understanding, Service Agreement, Partnership Agreement, IP Licensing Agreement, Joint Venture Agreement, Loan Agreement, and Sale of Goods Agreement, provided that the terms of the original contract do not specifically prohibit modifications.

This document provides a cost-effective way to alter one or more areas of the original document without changing other provisions. Hence, this document only serves as an addendum or a supplement to an existing contract.
