FAQ

An amendment is a mutually agreed change whether an addition or deletion or both to the original contract. It includes the terms, clauses, sections, and definitions to be changed in the original contract. It also references the title and date of the original contract. All parties must sign amendments.
The definition of an amendment is a change, addition, or rephrasing of something, most often with the intention of improvement. An example of an amendment are the changes made to the U.S. Constitution. The act of changing for the better; improvement.
A contract amendment is a document that modifies the original purchase agreement. It either corrects something on that initial contract or clarifies it with additional information or detail. Amendments can only be proposed by the signing parties (or their representatives/agents).
Insert the word "amended" into the legal document's title. For instance, if you were served a complaint and named a defendant, you would file an "answer" titled "Defendant's Answer." If there is reason to amend the original document, title the new document "Defendant's Amended Answer."
Writing a Contract Addendum Name the parties to the contract. Indicate the addendum's effective date, using the same date format used in the original contract. Indicate the elements of the original contract that the addendum intends to change. Concisely but clearly describe the desired changes.
An example of an addendum being used would be if the parties wanted to add something to the original document. For instance, an individual who is purchasing a house may not want to purchase all of the furniture that is being left behind. However, after thinking about it further, he changes his mind.
