MODIFY AN EXISTING CONTRACT

Contracts sometimes need to change after they’re signed. Instead of creating an entirely new agreement, an addendum can be used to document agreed modifications to the original contract.

Use this template to help:

✓ Modify existing contract terms
✓ Change project deadlines
✓ Update payment terms
✓ Modify the scope of work
✓ Add new contract provisions
✓ Replace existing language
✓ Document agreed changes in writing
✓ Identify the original agreement
✓ Confirm unaffected terms remain unchanged
✓ Obtain signatures from both parties

CHANGE PAYMENT TERMS, DEADLINES & SCOPE OF WORK

This versatile template can be customized for many types of contract modifications.

Use it to document changes involving:

• Payment Amounts
• Payment Schedules
• Due Dates
• Project Deadlines
• Contract Duration
• Scope of Work
• Services Provided
• Deliverables
• Responsibilities
• Pricing
• Additional Services
• New Requirements
• Other Mutually Agreed Terms

This makes the template useful across many different industries rather than limiting it to one specific type of contract.

REPLACE OR ADD CONTRACT LANGUAGE

The template provides flexible amendment sections allowing the parties to replace language contained in the original contract or add entirely new provisions. 

Clearly identify the section of the original agreement being modified and enter the updated language in the appropriate area.

CONFLICT OF TERMS CLAUSE

The template includes a Conflict of Terms provision establishing how conflicts between the original agreement and the addendum are addressed. The current template specifies that the addendum takes precedence when its terms conflict with the original contract. 

This helps clarify which terms the parties intend to govern after the modification.

RATIFICATION OF ORIGINAL AGREEMENT

Changing one part of a contract doesn’t necessarily mean the remaining agreement needs to change.

The included Ratification Clause confirms that the other terms of the original contract remain unchanged. 

This provides a clear connection between the original agreement and the new addendum.

The ability to modify an existing contract may depend on the original agreement, applicable law, consent of the parties, modification provisions, signature requirements, and circumstances surrounding the agreement.

Some contracts may require amendments to follow specific procedures or be executed in a particular manner. Buyers should carefully review the original agreement before using an addendum.

Purchasing or completing this template does not guarantee that the resulting addendum will be legally valid or enforceable. Consider having significant contract modifications reviewed by a qualified legal professional before signing.
