Using a Template to Amend an Existing Contract or Agreement
Sick of wasting time writing and re-writing contract amendments every time you need to make a change to a contract? DocJuris is here to help!
Download our industry-backed amendment template that covers opening contract addendums, paragraphs, recitals, amendment text, boilerplate language, signature blocks, and exhibits (if applicable). Our template is based on our knowledge of contracts and the extensive research we have done by working with over 250 companies.
You can use the contract amendment in a variety of settings, including commercial contacts and any other type of contract that requires adding an amendment. You can also use this amendment template to negotiate or renew an existing contract or letter agreement.
Understanding How to Write a Contract Amendment or Addendum
In general, amendments are created when some condition of the contract or terms aren’t working for at least one party, and both parties agree to make an adjustment while keeping the existing contract remaining unchanged. They are considered legal documents that are in full force and effect under applicable law.
They can also be used to modify an original contract that is in a live negotiation as well — more on this below. Generally, anytime you need to make a change to an existing contract or agreement, whether minor or significant or previously amended, you need to use a contract amendment.
While many amendments are specific to the contract, others are relatively standard, like changing a due date. Having an amendment template can streamline the process of drafting amendments, which means you’ll get them signed faster and be able to move forward with the work outlined in your original contract.
